Fred Schodt interview

Post by Stan Sakai »

Here is a very short interview--part of a much longer one--with Fred Schodt. Fred is an authority on manga and anime, and is the writer of Manga, Manga, Manga, and Dreamland Japan. He has translated a lot of manga, and served as our interpreter when we were in Japan as guests of Tezuka Productions.

Thanks for posting the link, Stan. I really consider Fred to be one of the great "ambassadors" for manga and Japanese pop culture.

I found a video interview with him from a few years ago on YouTube that's worth watching if you enjoy his writing:
