Keeping anime on the mind we look at one of the most successful and popular anime series of all time, InuYasha. Dani, Graham and Matthew discuss why this anime is so popular and resonates deeply with so many people. Nothing is off the table in this episode as we cover such varied topics as the true meaning of strength, cultural differences, sexual expression, power dynamics, archery, PTSD, and whether those are dog ears or cat ears. We keep things mostly spoiler-free so come and join the fun even if you're new to anime. If you want to contribute to the discussion you can email the hosts at animindpodcast@gmail.com.
