Episode 240 Ever wished there was a theme park tailored to us anime and manga fans? Sure, Universal Studios has a few attractions, but they're only temporary AND they only ever release in Japan! Well, our wishes have been granted. The universe has heard our cries and is answering our pleas! Yes, we are getting a manga-themed theme park!! In France... Also, might not be manga-themed... Also also, it's not going to be finished for a very, VERY long time... This week's episode recaps the crazy rollercoaster (pun intended) fans experienced after the announcement of the manga-themed theme park in France. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage also go over Crunchyroll's newest job listing and what it could mean for those currently sailing the high seas.

PlayStation TV, New Shonen Series, and Anime Fans Fighting Frenzy!!

Episode 239 This week's episode is a mixed bag of topics, or as Frankfurtter puts it, "like throwing pasta at the wall...." Yeah, it's gonna be one of those episodes. The bakabois cover the recent release of Sony's PlaystationTV, Shonen Jump removing and adding new series, and the steady increase of online anime bullying amongst fans. As the topics suggest, things get more and more heated as the episode drags along. So make sure to buckle up because this one is going to be an especially bumpy ride! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitch: Bakacopodcast TikTok: @bakacopodcast Instagram: @bakacopodcast BlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.social YouTube: @bakacopodcast -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection

Sora, Donald, and Luffy??? - Kingdom Hearts is Getting an Anime!! - BakaBites EP 237

Our condolences go out to the family of Hayden Panettiere. Anime is no stranger to the video game adaptation. Pokemon. Persona. Ace Attorney. Heck, even Steins;Gate started off as a light novel before becoming a critically acclaimed anime series. Now, another beloved franchise is joining the anime family, but with a potentially interesting twist. Yes, this past weekend at D23, Kingdom Hearts the anime was finally announced! However, little to no details were provided to the fans leaving many, like Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage, to ponder over what the anime will be all about. So, assemble your favorite characters and select your preferred keyblade as we dive into the Kingdom Hearts anime news! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitch: Bakacopodcast TikTok: @bakacopodcast Instagram: @bakacopodcast BlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.social YouTube: @bakacopodcast --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection RSSVERIFY Hosted on Acast.

More Mushoku Tensei, More Problems... AGAIN!!! - BakaBites EP 235

Well, we'd like to say we're surprised by the online anime community and their opinions towards Mushoku Tensei, but we're not. Each and every season, we are treated to the same arguments, the same rhetoric, and the same vitriol anime fans have towards Mushoku Tensei. The. Exact. Same. Now, do we hear these opinion pieces constantly? No. Do we hear new perspectives on fans of the show are just as disgusting as the anime itself? No. It's the same opinion fans regurgitate between one another over and over and over again... So, in the spirit of open discussions, MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter open the floor on the topic once again. An invite, if you will, to converse at lengths about the anime known as Mushoku Tensei. Oh, and the bakabois do a bit of venting as well. Buckle up, this is going to be one hell of a bumpy ride. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitch: Bakacopodcast TikTok: @bakacopodcast Instagram: @bakacopodcast BlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.social YouTube: @bakacopodcast --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection RSSVERIFY Hosted on Acast.

San Diego Comic Con Recap and Major Manga Announcements!! - BakaBites EP 234

The Summer convention season is still swinging big, from Anime Expo taking place at the beginning of July to San Diego Comic Con just having wrapped up this past weekend. With all of these major conventions happening in a short time frame there surely can't be many new or exciting announcements for the anime and manga fandoms, right? WRONG! SDCC surprised many with an enormous amount of manga announcements from publishers big and small across Japan! In fact, more manga publishers were present and presenting at SDCC than had been in attendance at Anime Expo! Crazy, right?! With all of the announcements over the weekend, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage decided to breakdown the many announcements made from the publishers and give their thoughts on the current trends they are seeing in the manga market!

The Catastrophic Collapse of Crunchyroll, and Can We Fix It?!? - BakaBites EP 233

Crunchyroll. What was once a gateway for anime fans around the World to enjoy the medium they love so much has now transformed into something none of us ever wanted to see... Us fans always held on to hope that Crunchyroll would look out for us and not be seduced by corporate greed, settling on maximizing its profits rather than focusing on the entrustment of its fans. Now, its hard to ignore Crunchyroll's corporate gluttony as it continuously makes decisions that harm its fans all for the sake of higher earnings. This episode, Frankfurtter, MagicallyAverage, and our special guest, BeSteveBrown, discuss the current state of Crunchyroll, from the Anime Awards to the imprisonment of its online store behind its subscription model, and everything else in between. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest: BeSteveBrown TikTok: @bestevebrown Instagram: @bestevebrown YouTube: @bestevebrown Baka&Company Twitch: Bakacopodcast TikTok: @bakacopodcast Instagram: @bakacopodcast BlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.social YouTube: @bakacopodcast --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection RSSVERIFY Hosted on Acast.
