On Theofantastique ( here), John W. Morehead interviewed folklorist Bill Ellis (whom I have already referred here) concerning anime (animations Nippon) and popular culture.
Ellis says among other things:
First of all, popular culture and folklore are Closely related, since Both That Relate to topics and issues many people choose to be Involved in. Folklore picks up many themes from popular books and TV shows, and the producers of popular media are Constantly monitoring contemporary folklore and finding ways to include it in Their productions. So, just as I was Constantly watching the popular media, like the Harry Potter Phenomenon, for insights into common persons' interest in the occult, I know too That Immediately saw the dramatic growth of interest in anime Had a strong folk element.
Council read the entire interview.
