In this episode, I’m joined by Brian Ruh, author of Stray Dog of Anime: The Films of Mamoru Oshii to talk about...Basset Hounds! err, the works of prolific creator Mamoru Oshii, of course! Join us as we give a brief overview on Oshii’s career, the many “creative differences” Oshii’s encountered over the years, and what it was liking writing an academic book on anime.
