"We all come from different backgrounds and everyone has their own unique way that they began interacting with anime and manga." - Leah
"Anime is penetrating the culture... Only about 25% of my generation in Gen Z is actually following the NFL, whereas 42% are watching anime weekly." - LeAlec
Welcome Leah President & LeAlec MurrayNational Anime Day happens every April 15th and we’re joined on the Starline by co-hosts of “The Anime Effect” podcast. One is a brand manager living his life one pixel at a time, the other is a writer, editor and acolyte of all things geek. We welcome Leah President and LeAlec Murray.
Friends, let’s go Beyond the Mic. The goal of “The Anime Effect” is to spotlight a niche entertainment form in the past and show its impact on current pop culture. Why was that important to do?
How has anime changed your life?
The Rockin' 8:It’s time for the Rockin’ 8, 8 random questions, answer with the first thing that comes to your mind. There is no Pressure. Since we have two guests, we’ll alternate questions.
