The interview i had with Henry Thurlow was incredibly enlightening, while most of what he said either confirmed what i already knew about anime some elements where enlightening. For example the personal insight into female animators feelings towards sexualisation was interesting. I thought that they would be more vocal about sexualisation. I was also very interested to discover that everyone in Japan reads manga, while i knew anime would not be received by everyone the fact most read manga was interesting, particularly that many tropes in anime are a result of the adaption of manga. It makes it more obvious how engrained these tropes are.
The questionnaire was also very interesting, i didn't think that people would actually have the bias towards anime that i thought they had. 50% of people believing anime was the best form of animation was very surprising, and i was expecting for my expectation of anime fans to be wrong. I was also expecting more anime fans to be mentally ill as there are many studies that suggest that people with autism react to anime better because emotions are portrayed clearer with the iconography that originated from Manga.
