In this first episode of Her Anime Universe, I open up about my long-hidden love for anime and manga, and why I finally decided to embrace this part of myself. From watching Inuyasha on Adult Swim to spending hours at Barnes & Noble hunting for manga volumes, I share how anime became my escape when I moved from LA to Austin in 2005.
