A Conversation with Helen McCarthy. We experimented with a new idea of having more of a loose conversation about various anime topics. These topics ranged from the iPad, moe, the feminist movement, Summer Wars, My Neighbor Totoro and Yona Yona Penguin. Joining us this week, we have Michael Pinto from anime.com, Tim Maughan from Timmaughanbooks.com and of course, Helen McCarthy.
