Alexander Schmid Podcast

On this episode of Side Quests, Wes Schantz and I have the pleasure to host Mikhail Koulikov, who is an anime scholar, research librarian, and facilitator of anime-focused projects. He maintains the site www.animemangastudies.com, and he was kind enough to talk to us today about: (a) what first drew him to anime and what anime has to offer that other genres do not; (b) what makes anime worthy of academic rigor; and (c) major scholarly trends and current and classic shows to watch out for. And more.
