S1E19 -Chapter Nineteen: When Gods Collide!

On 10 BILLION DAYS AND 100 BILLION NIGHTS, by Ryu Mitsuse

Since countries other than the US and the UK produce genre fiction too, this week we veer in a new direction to take a look at a famous work of Japanese Sci-Fi, "10 Billion Days & 100 Billion Nights", by Ryu Mitsuse. Could this book be a seminal influence on Japanese animation? To help us decide we've got guest star Ing--co-host of my other podcast, Destroy All Clickbait--who knows way more about that stuff than we do. Join us as two of mankind's greatest religious figures engage in a billion-year battle to the end of the universe!

Support us on Patreon and listen to the show a week early!
