For this episode, we invited Miro Abala to discuss how Japanese anime is political. We discuss how Filipino society fell in love with anime, Animes as political content, Anime as a labor issue and Anime as foreign policy.
 
We also briefly recommend some animes that are very
political and endorse the upcoming Japanese film festival.
