Episode 5555 - Interstella / Part 1 of 2

It’s been a long time coming. We recorded this show back  in August. We have no excuse…but better late than never! And, at least  this podcast is about an excellent anime, Leiji Matsumoto and Daft  Punk’s sci-fi masterpiece Interstella 5555. In this first part of  our Interstella show, we talk about what the thing is, how it came  together, our personal histories with it, and some high-level,  spoiler-free stuff we really really like about it. If you’ve never seen  this anime, we hope we can sell you on it, and if you have seen it, then  we hope you’ll hear about it ONE MORE TIME. Also: what is the  best scene in anime involving a shark? Who was the actress that inspired  Leiji Matsumoto’s iconic female character design? Did Shadon spoil  Harry Potter for you? Let us know.
