Recently I had the great honor and privilege to sit down with Stu Levy, Founder and CEO of Tokyopop as well as one of the trailblazing individuals who put anime and manga on the map in the United States. From discussing the roller coaster history of the company he founded to his thoughts on the synergy of Japanese and American culture in animation and graphic novels as well as paradoxes of intellectual property, Stu told it as only a master of the art could. Enjoy!
