Cedric Littardi, a French/Italian geek entrepreneur, sat down with Leijiverse a LONG time ago (sorry about that) to talk about his experience as one of France's anime pioneers. Starting with 500 copies of a small, handmade zine called Animeland, Cedric built one of the first communities where a burgeoning otaku scene could share its love of Japanese animation. Through decades of nerdy ventures and industry networking, Cedric created opportunities to commit previously inaccessible shows and movies to VHS tape and, later, DVD and distribute them throughout Europe.

As a lifelong fan of Captain Harlock and everything he represented, bringing the rest of the Leijiverse to France was a no-brainer. Via his publishing company Kaze, he worked tirelessly to premiere "Galaxy Express 999" at a movie festival and show France that Harlock was far more prolific than they previously knew. Years later, a chance encounter with the Leiji Matsumoto superfan group Toki No Wa/Webring Leiji led to DVDs featuring expert fan commentary.
