This director changed anime: Yoshiaki Kawajiri Interview | Madhouse Mind... youtu.be/2KpbbfVzGjI?...
Two minutes in and it already feels like a treat. It's really a pleasure to hear Kawajiri reflecting on his work after so long away from the forefront of the industry. And I'd love if he'd be allowed to make an original project alongside Koike, for whom he left such sweet words.

Vaya perlitas deja la primera entrevista de Anime Mind Probe. El vídeo está hecho con un gusto exquisito, y el equipo sabe perfectamente qué es lo que les quiere sacar a los entrevistados. Maruyama, encima, da un juego tremendo con ese salero que tiene. Lanzaos si os llama la historia de Madhouse.
