Anime videos & munga books are the latest Japanese infusion into American mass culture. Americans invented the automobile. Then the Japanese produced the better car. Disney created anime. Then the Japanese took everything to a higher artistic/cultural level. This interview with a spokesperson for NYAnimeFestival(dot)com explores this latest cultural wave.
A documentary about Japan’s biggest pop culture and deepest underground, filmed in the comic capital of the world, Tokyo. MANGA MAD gives insight into contemporary Japanese culture through the iconography of its biggest pop culture and explains why comics are not just for children, as depicted by the compulsive consumer obsessiveness of the otaku adult manga and anime scene.

Anime Expo's 2007 J-POP 101 Panel. Hosted by Linzer Dinzer and I was there in spirit.
This Introductory video was created to help introduce Japanese POP Culture and to focus mainly on the music artists and was presented on June 29th in Long Beach, CA. The panel itself went into more detail on each individual artist.
If you have any insight on how I can improve the video for next year please let me know. :)
Until next time,

Brett, dressed as Captain S, got a chance to walk around and interview con-goers in costume while Chad documented it all on film.
