The 𝓑𝓔𝓐𝓤𝓣𝓨 of Retro Anime (ft. Robert Woodhead)
Mecha, spells, and painted cels, that's what retro anime is made of! In this episode, the Crew catches up with Robert Woodhead after his retirement from Animeigo to reflect on its history, discuss the licensing process and media preservation, working in the anime industry, and even manage to squeeze in a little anime discussion.
