Published: Aug. 6, 2019, 2 p.m.

This month is Anime August here at Catching Up On Cinema!

\n

For the next 4 weeks, Trevor is going to be taking Kyle on a journey through the colorful and varied world of Japanese animation, beginning with Gainax and Takeshi Mori's Otaku No Video (1991)!

\n

A farcical tale about 2 young men striving to make it big in the anime industry, the 2-part OVA (original video animation) is a unique, multi-layered meta commentary on the medium and culture.

\n

Featuring live-action documentary interviews with a variety of "otaku" (broad definition: nerdy fanatics) the anime is a strong introduction to and examination of the world of anime and manga.

\n

*Please note, the live-action interview/documentary segments in this OVA are in fact staged sequences performed by actors*
