Attack of the Giant Robot Eric Nakamura and Martin Wong discuss the impact that their Magazine has left on and Asia America'sinfluence on Popular Culture and Art

Quote from SF Gate: Nakamura's take has got to be one of the most offbeat synopses of a magazine, but hey, it works for me. Still, GR is more than that. From promoting martial arts star Jet Li long before he was well known in the United States to doing articles on tofu-head dolls from Japan, from exploring the rather guileless yet eye-catching drawings on medicine bottles in Cambodia to a serious retrospective look at Chinese propaganda art during the cultural revolution, from reviewing the latest animes that hit the United States to humorously comparing the variety of Asian candies and ramen noodles, the quarterly is quirky and always a fun read.
