    What is anime, anyway? And by the way, what is manga? And why are all those people wearing costumes? Join us for a conversation with animator and mangaka, Sebraé Harris, and discover the fascinating, nuanced, and colorful world of these Japanese comic artforms.

He started drawing at the age of four, and began taking art seriously when he was eight.
