Episode 9: East Meets West - Cultures Collide
This episode we’re looking at how anime and western culture have collided, from traditional artists to modern animation.
We look back at the first places you could watch English translated anime and the impact Japan’s manga culture has had on the West.
In Back Catalogue, we look at the fascinating crossover between Marvel comics and Japanese animation and one of the anime series that hit it big in the West during the Gameboy Era – Pokémon!
And in our first East Meets West segment, we’ll be looking at a critically acclaimed Western animation, which took a number of queues from Japan – Avatar.
