Anime is fun ... but sometimes hard to understand for English-speakers. This club can help!

Notes from Chris

Episode 2178
Today’s caller is from Japan, which recently re-opened for visitors—one of the last countries in the world to do that, but better late than never. They have an idea to start an English-speaking anime club in Japan. You know anime—and whether you’re a fan or not, there’s no doubt that it has a huge international audience.

It’s kind of like K-pop, in that it’s popular even with the language barrier. I know some people who are super into K-pop despite not knowing any Korean. Anime at least has lots of translations, but if you want to get in deep with the subculture, you need some help.

Conveniently, that’s what our caller wants to do...

"I've been enjoying the show for several months now, and I listen every day.

I heard an episode you did about someone who imports anime and other pop culture items from Japan to the U.S. My idea is a bit similar: I want to start an anime club here in Japan, but primarily for English-speakers. Many anime resources are still only in the Japanese language, so I’m hoping to bridge the gap. What advice do you have?

Thank you so much for your answer! I hope you can come to Japan again soon, especially now that the country is open to visitors again."
