I returned to Shanghai for the first time in five years to deliver a presentation at this year's International CITIC CLSA Forum to talk about my book JAPANAMERICA and the state of the anime industry--with a look back at where it's been, and a quick glance at where it's headed. My humble thanks to my generous hosts and audiences.  (photos courtesy of CITIC CLSA and CLSA Japan.)
