LA Weekly, Featuring Anime!
One of our readers has a great article on anime, anime music videos and otaku in last week’s L.A. Weekly!!! It’s called “The Anime Collective: Baka Deshi Productions“, By Liz Ohanesian. Here’s an excerpt:
Anneke and Mie’Aga don’t collaborate on videos, but they do critique each other’s work. Between the two, who are based in the L.A. area, they churn out six to 10 videos a year, with each piece taking from a few hours to several months to produce.
Collectively, they have entered more than 60 competitions and won 25 awards, including eight major ones, such as Judges’ Choice and Best of Show. Most recently, Anneke took prizes for both Audience and Judges’ Choice in the comedy category at Fanime, a Northern California–based convention considered one of the most competitive, while Mie’Aga earned the Best Overall Award at Anime L.A. last January.
