We discuss whether Hayao Miyazaki's lost his touch, the fragmentation of the anime market, Crazy Leiji Matsumoto's distribution of a manga on the Wii, an interview with "Ota-King" Okada and the loss of an otaku "core literature," Japan's delay in revising its child pornography laws, and the influence of anime on American animation. Plus, Nick's thoughts on Piano no Mori and Grave of the Fireflies, and Brent's thoughts on GoLion and Osamu Tezuka's Buddha manga. Whew!
