Episode description

A cult started by a blind Japanese man went on to become a deadly terrorist organization. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Shoko Asahara was rising in the ranks as one of the most powerful cult leaders in history. He had over ten thousand followers, and slowly over the course of several years would launch several deadly terrorist attacks against the country of Japan - a few of which are the worst attack that Japan has ever experienced. They did all of this while producing anime recruitment videos animated by actual anime artists who had joined the cult. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the dark and dangerous world of Shoko Asahara and the Aum Shinrikyo cult.
