Archie Talks Anime
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 28 ม.ค. 2024
I’m Archie Johnson, a British film and TV journalist who writes about pop culture for a living. I make deep-dive video essays about Studio Ghibli and other anime-related stuff in my spare time.
I used to live in Tokyo, right next to Akihabara. Now I’m based in Paris, France, where they love anime and manga almost as much as they do in Japan. If you're French, then bienvenue sur ma chaîne !
I love chatting about the things I cover in my videos, so please don't hesitate to drop me a comment and let me know what you think! Cheers!

Studio Ghibli exists because of France – here’s why (anime documentary)
Studio Ghibli co-founders Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata were both hugely inspired by French artists and authors in their youth, and France would go on to play a big role in shaping Ghibli in the years that followed. In fact, if it wasn’t for the influence of France, then Ghibli as we know it today may not exist. In this video, I take a deep dive into the French people and places that inspired Miyazaki and Takahata and helped shape the biggest anime studio in the world.

As always, thank you so much for watching and please join the conversation ...

Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki has dedicated his life to creating beautiful animated movies by hand, so it’s no wonder he isn’t exactly keen on the rise of artificial intelligence in the film world. However, his reasons for hating AI might surprise you. In this video, I take a deep dive into Miyazaki’s opinions on AI and the origins of his most brutal quote: "I strongly feel that this ...
The Worst Studio Ghibli English Dub Voice Actor (And The Best)
มุมมอง 2.8K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Howl’s Moving Castle is one of my favourite Studio Ghibli films, but I’ve got a huge problem with Disney’s dub: Christian Bale. While I love his other work, Bale’s take on Howl ruins the English language version of this classic Miyazaki movie for me. It’s an unpopular opinion, but just hear me out though, fair warning, watching this video might just ruin the dub for you! 00:00 Is Howl’s Moving ...

The films of Hayao Miyazaki wouldn’t be the same without the music of his friend and long-time collaborator Joe Hisaishi.

BLUE LOCK is now Japan's BEST-SELLING manga | A Football Love Story
มุมมอง 1.7K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
Blue Lock was the best-selling manga in Japan in 2023, with sales exceeding 10 million. It’s an engrossing series with a great anime adaptation, but the truth is that Blue Lock got a helping hand on its way to the top. Here’s how it overtook the likes of Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen to claim the manga crown: It's a football (or soccer, for my American friends) love story. If you enjoy the vi...
