This week was a special one! I got to sit down and talk to UCI graduate student Juan Carlos (JC) Fermin about his recent presentations at Anime Expo 2024, Wondercon, and Comic-Con.
I had a blast chatting about his fascinating work on imperialism in One Piece’s Wano Country, as well as his thoughts on the anime industry as a whole. I hope you enjoyed the discussion and check out his future presentations! Also, shoutout to the Journal of Anime and Manga Studies, who host JC and many other academics at AX every year. They also produce a new issue every year, totally free and available online.
