Just saw something that made me sit up straight mid-loot run. Guillermo del Toro’s headlining Crunchyroll’s first Anime Future Forum in New York this October. Dude’s got this knack for dark, whimsical worlds that aligns so well with the anime I unwind with after ranked matches. I’ve always admired how he respects deep, layered genre storytelling, so hearing him talk about anime’s future? That’s actually pretty cool. My earl grey’ll still be waiting by the setup when I dive into recaps later.
