This bonus episode & our season finale was all about Anime culture, the music in anime movies and so much more. We started out with an Introduction to Anime and how Anime comes from or is similar to Manga Comics moving over to Adult Anime or HENTAI. We then transitioned to rock band RADWIMPS and their influence in anme music. We spoke about Paprika and it's similarities to Inception the movie. It gets super interesting talking about amazing Japanese composers such as Joe Hisaishi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nujabes and production houses such as Studio Ghibli & Miyazaki. We then moved on towards shows such as Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop movies such as Akira, Korean classic Oldboy.
Some big surprises when we learned that there was a Mogli animation series which was created by a Japanese studio as well as Ramayana - The Legend of Prince Rama which was created by a Japanese studio and released on Indian television. We ended the episode with a fantastic trivia question regarding which famous actor portrayed the voiceover of Rama in the Indian Ramayana and a major surprise by Shravani which brings an end to a amazing first season of The Musicmandir Podcast.
