COMING BACK SOON! Anime Americana is a place where I, the aforementioned American, discuss and review themes, genres, ideas and even series pertaining to anime. I love the medium and if you do too, please stop by and talk about it with me. I would like to create a space where we can talk about, and enjoy anime together. I will strive to be the best Anime Podcast on your respective platform. Let's do this!
Hey there, I recently watched Perfect Blue and wanted to talk about it along with the portrayal of women in certain well-known shows. This is a heavier show than what I have done in the past, but I feel strongly enough to talk about it. In regard to Perfect Blue, themes of sexual assault are discussed in this episode, so if that's not something you want to listen to, I understand. If you decide to skip this episode, no worries, I'll see you next time.
