This week on The Wonder of Anime, I'm joined by comedian Yedoye Travis. You may recognize Yedoye from his stand-up, and his previous work on Get in the Robot, and his hilariously viral tweets. In this episode, Yedoye sits in the expert seat to discuss the Studio Ghibli film, Princess Mononoke. He breaks down the story, what he thinks Ashitaka stands for, Lady Eboshi's role, and so much more.
