Latest JAPANAMERICA podcast interview for NO FUTURE NYC
Here's my latest JAPANAMERICA podcast interview with NYC-based comedian and writer, David White, who is blessed with a very soothing voice: No Future NYC Episode 6C (or click on pic). David got me talking about the economics of anime—how much has changed (budgets), and how much hasn't changed enough (wages). We also talked about the Pokemon scam of the late 90s/early aughts, the strategy behind the success of Kimetsu no Yaiba /Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, released mid-pandemic and now Japan's highest grossing film ever, and why The Who's Pete Townshend blurbed JAPANAMERICA . A little bit of MONKEY and my new art book in here, too. This was a lot of fun. (Or, kinda fun, at least.)
