Palme no Ki

The boy-meets-world anime where a wooden kid gets the wrong ghost mom and a one-way ticket to the city of lost stuff. A small puppet chases a strange messenger through neon markets and rain-soaked alleys to learn if his stitched heart can ever belong to anyone. Takashi Nakamura’s 2002 throwback rides its retro synth score straight into the uncanny valley.
