Garden of Thought E.306 Anime Mythology or Schrodinger's Pinocchio

from Garden of Thought · host Jeff Lippman

When we ask C The Superior to present on a topic as our apprentice host, she always brings the research. She takes me through some of the premier Anime properties and their relationship to mythologies. Primarily Shintoism. But Taoism and Chinese myths are visited. Especially when we talk about how Goku and Dragonball Z is The Monkey King and Journey to the East!Along the way, there are the usual diversions and meanderings. Including a restatement on kung fu witches built like Baywatch in school girl uniforms. Do we find other mythological parallels? Why is Schrodinger referenced and what does this have to do with Pinocchio or Anime?
