From Funimation's News pages.

Host Patrick Macias takes us through food, fashion, manga, anime and more in PURE TOKYO, a five-episode, original video series exclusively on Funimation’s official YouTube channel.

Each episode dives deep into a cultural touchstone of Tokyo, from art and cooking, to fashion design and, of course, anime!

Episode 1 - a live-drawing and interview with the iconic Terumi Nishii, who has worked on series like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

Episode 2 - A visit to the Harajuku Shopping district, and a chat with "Hisacy," the designing force behind HyperCore. A shop that is at the forefront of the Visual Kei movement.

Episode 3.

This time we take a look at the Japanese toy industry and meet Cory Privitera. Toy designer and owner of Science Patrol Toys in Tokyo.

Episode 4 looks at the traditional way to prepare Udon.

Time to round off our experience of Pure Tokyo with a subject that most of us probably never think about. Manhole covers. Of course, since this is Tokyo, all is more than it seems.
