Archie Talks Anime
I’m 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!
