The CaliConBlogCast

CES 2024 Roundup + Exploring the Complexities of the "Anime Marketing"

Episode 140

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, the crew look back at CES and other tech announcements made this week. We also take a look at the landscape between how anime and Japanese "pop culture" is distributed and marketed in the US versus Japan and Southeast Asia - from Code Geass and Pizza Hut to Persona 3 Reload and Wendy's and why "we can't get all the cool stuff" in a way that is totally concise and structured...or we try to.
