Blanco, like many rappers before her, is apparently super into some great classic anime.
Other times, they’re elaborate homages, like Kanye West’s video for his song “Stronger,” which is basically just an Akira short film.
Pharell’s music video for “It Girl” basically just is an anime, produced by Takashi Murakami, the progenitor of the Japanese aesthetic movement “superflat.”
Lil Uzi Vert’s video for “Ps and Qs” is like a nightmare version of a slice of life, high school romance show.
