• Fox News came to my house and interviewed me about my 2015 book, Cosplay: The Fantasy World of Role Play. Here’s the video I still have not watched.
• The Anime News Network reviewers (including me) talk about the fall anime we’re most excited about. Which episode one do you like most so far?
• Why we rewatch anime. Charles on the urge to return to your old favorites.
• Can a lifelong anime skeptic learn to love it? I was quoted in this, much to my surprise! Thanks @froborr for pointing that out.
• I was also quoted in this God Eater press release and also only found out after the fact, which is a reminder that anything you say online will never die.
• This is a really good week to share this: 14 Free and Low-Cost Mental Health Resources. But isn’t EVERY week in 2017 a good week to share it? /tired laugh
• Yatta-tachi published a piece about enjoying old media, including anime and video games, when you’re used to modern production values.
• Ending on a fun note, I just discovered Trapped in Anime, a creative team that directs films based on anime. Tripping in Anime has 600,000 views for a reason.
