Anime NYC 2025: Minetarō Mochizuki Discusses Dragon Head
"When I was writing Dragon Head, I wanted to highlight that fear is all in our head. So is imagination. It’s all created in the same place. It’s all up to the individual. The choice is yours."

Yūma Uchida Chats About Wind Breaker at Anime NYC 2025
Even as adults, our careers grow, our teams grow, we get promoted, our roles change. Seeing Sakura mature as grade captain, we relate to it. It’s not just a delinquent in a school. It’s a story of growth and the birth of a community. That makes it relatable and enjoyable to all of us watching the show.
