The Anime Business: Next Up, Yours Truly!

Screenshot from The Anime Business, by AnimEigo, producer Justin Sevakis. John O'Donnell talks about early controversies. He's seating in a room with Japanese-style paper and wooden screen walls. Inset it the poster for the US release of 'Dominion Tank Police' from Central Park Media.

Justin Sevakis’ groundbreaking video interview series The Anime Business is a must watch. Pulling together businessmen, scholars, critics and fans, he’s created a series of one-on-one interviews capturing people’s own recollections and personal views of the development of the anime business, mostly in the USA but also acknowledging the British role in its growth. With speakers including Andy Frain, Laurence Guinness, Jerry Beck, Stu Levy, Robert Napton and John O’Donnell, and bonus tier extras from the likes of Peter Tatara, Tim Eldred, Bruno Tilley and Leah Holmes,  it’s riveting viewing – especially when it doesn’t exactly (or even remotely) match how you remember the events in question.

Next up: me.
