I'm back with a special episode of The Wonder of Anime. Thanks to Toei Animation, I was able to attend the press preview of the ONE PIECE exhibit at the iconic Mercer Labs in NYC. Afterward, I was able to speak with Roy Nachum, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Mercer Labs and Nasir Dean, Manager of Special Projects at Mercer Labs. We spoke on the partnership with Toei Animation, their favorite parts of the exhibit, what they want attendees to take away, and so much more. Individual tickets for ONE PIECE x MERCER LABS are on sale now at www.mercerlabs.com. Special thank you to Toei Animation and Mercer Labs for the invitation.
