The first of its kind I’ve ever seen in English—analysis of historic & modern Japan from an anti-imperialist and marxist context finally from someone who is non-white and non-diasporic. I’m yonsei/gosei & my entire family was raised in diaspora since the early 1900s, traumatized from the...Read full review »

i just binged the first two episodes and i’m so excited for more. i really appreciate kota’s perspective on jpn history, which is much different than the little i learned through american schooling and movies. the most recent episode with kaz and andrew was also equally fun and insightful, i hope...Read full review »
