If you’ve watched any anime edits on TikTok over the past few years, then it’s highly likely you’ve heard a song by Nxcre or his latest project, Nxcre & The Villains. His latest viral hit, “Usurper” has been taking over the social sphere for the Amv old heads. As you can imagine, this is the dream scenario for Nxcre, whose artistic vision was shaped by his love of anime. I had the chance to talk about his full circle anime moments, his Berserk -inspired music video, and the unexpected emotional resonance of Assassination Classroom . I'd love to hear how your anime journey started. Nxcre : Oh, man, it was since I was like a little kid. I remember watching as early as I can remember, like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Naruto and even Dragon Ball . I was infatuated with that type of stuff. Oh, and Inuyasha back in the day as well.
