Maser Patrol podcast episode 33B: Cthulhu Mythos in Japan (Part 2)
Manage episode 185308871 series 1531682
With the first of of Gou Tanabe’s HP Lovecraft manga adaptations, The Hound & Other Stories, fresh on US bookstore shelves, it seems like a good time to get a crash course on the impact of Lovecraft on Japanese genre fiction, and, of course, kaiju. Justin previously wrote the articles “The Cthulhu Mythos in Japan” and “Robot Lords of Tokyo: Lovecraftian Anime” for the Lovecraft ezine, so we sat down for a chat… which wound up taking eight hours! It sounds like folks prefer bite-sized recordings, so that’s been split up into four chapters for convenience.
Covered in Part 2:
- Masumune Shirow’s Orion
- Chiaki J Konaka’s works: Terror Rate, Shadow over Innsmouth, Marebito, Big O, Digimon Tamers, Armitage III
- Midnight Meat Train
- Lovecraft in Ultraman
Shinji Nishikawa’s “Cthul Fight” is a parody of Ultra Fight.
