Welcome to Rupees Over Ramen, the show where we discuss Animation, Storytelling, Dungeons & Dragons, and other nerdy topics. We will also be talking with our fellow artists and creators in a chill and cozy "Ramen House" type of setting. I'm Bit by Bit James, I am an illustrator, animator, and storyteller who is a big fan of Ghibli, Disney, and Nintendo. I have a special place in my heart for cassette tapes, the Super NES, the Sony Walkman, Malt Shops, and all of the nostalgia. As the title suggests I also am a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda and Japanese Culture, which we will be talking about both as the podcast goes on, so stay tuned! This show will have a "Triforce Quantity" of episode types, with Animation/Story Analysis, Creator Chats, and Storytelling with a new take on the classic Radio Story hour. Great times are ahead, so grab a nice hot bowl of Ramen, some chopsticks, and join in on the discussion every 2 Weeks with a variety of co-hosts with every episode.
