Then we actually talked about her Kickstarter comic \u201cThe Moonstone Diadem\u201d, how an Inktober challenge snowballed (13:03), specific influences in it like Utena (18:55), and her thoughts on being a fan of 90s anime in general as Mike updates her on older anime on streaming services (25:57). In the process Mike plugs NHK\u2019s \u201c10 Years with Miyazaki\u201d documentary series again and the two end up talking about the emotional, mental and physical costs of work (29:03). Angela also comes back to her regular work on how expiring technologies effect archiving and evolution of games and their presteige as artforms (35:41). Then Mike reopens old wounds about Angela\u2019s past feelings on Makoto Shinkai both then and now, and how Angela\u2019s past feelings are becoming Mike\u2019s current ones (38:55). Finally, Angela makes a wish to see the next \u201cMade in Abyss\u201d movie as we lament what should have been FanExpo Weekend in Toronto (43:30)\n\nMike Nicolas and Angela O'Hara\n\nAngela's Links\n\nKickstarter page for The Moonstone Diadem: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themoonstonediadem/the-moonstone-diadem-by-angela-ohara?ref=user_menu\nTwitter: @fellminagames\nWebpage: http://artbyangela.ca \n\nVisit our website for more information and links:\nhttps://animeroundtable.wordpress.com/2020/09/01/the-space-heater-chats-angela-ohara-august-29-2020/\n\nWebsite: animeroundtable.com\nTwitter and IG: @animeroundtable\nEmail: animeroundtable@gmail.com","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/10989024-0132-442b-9937-1f0f653a285d/avatars-5zprsad8s231me9f-afabfw-original.jpg"}
