Seasons of Ranma: Exploring the Ranma ½ Fanfiction of the 1990s

These authors do not try to excuse Ranma ½ for its various problems. But their work demonstrates real affection for the source material.

A Conversation With Yoko Kanno

I would love for the music I create to connect the parts of me that I am not aware of with the parts of the audience that they are not aware of. A Jungian theory of the collective subconscious. Using music to communicate through the collective subconscious.

ZAN: A Conversation with Yoshitaka Amano at Anime Expo 2026

"I’ve been influenced by a variety of samurai movies. I’m friends with Kazuo Koike, the author of Lone Wolf and Cub. Perhaps it’s similar to knights in Western culture. They’re ubiquitous."

Interviews with Artists: Coatsinkleaf

A lot of people already knew me as “the Hollow Knight guy” at cons. I’m usually one or one of a few Hollow Knight tables people see, which meant that I had a lot of expectations riding on me for Silksong merch. But when I got to play the game, I got to experience again that wave of inspiration and the urge to create that the initial Hollow Knight instilled in me.
