Hovin's Hideaway – Details, episodes & analysis

Hovin and Brie Wensleydale are joined by Pink Aisle pod's (and Podcastmon Adventures cohost) Henry Kathman to discuss the latest endeavour of Death Note's Takeshi Obata! Can we wrap our heads around the wacky world of manzai double act stand-up comedy in this high school pseudo-sports competition manga?

We also ramble about Zelda games, the anime movie talent clusterfuck that is Bubble. Wouldn't be a Hovin's Hideaway without tangents babyyyyy

Also my pet robot Android Hindsight is here with us to bless us with his knowledge and wreak havoc across the Hideaway!

I know it's been a while, and this somewhat functions as a spin-off to our Pokemon manga retrospective podcast, Podcastmon Adventures! So if you like our style of discussion here, please give that one a look!

JoJo's Part 8 finishes its decade-long run, and Hovin just got finished reading through it all for the very first time! Does its commitment to a sprawling mystery story deliver? How does it stack up to other parts? How did Hoves find its somewhat *different* approach to an antagonist compared to prior entries? All this and more!

An episode in which we set out to talk about manga we want to rant about but end up just talking about whatever miscellanious manga we feel like! I'm joined by the usual crew as we delve into Boruto, Samurai 8 and BOTH manga themed around families of spies Shuesha is putting out right now

In move seriously breaching podcasting ethics, Hovin decides to trap Nova and Greil in his lair and forces- I mean invites them to talk about the latest Danganronpa game! How does it stack up to the rest of the series? What were our favourite trials and characters? Why is the podcasting equipment in Hovin's lair so darn faulty? All this and more might be answered in this installment of Hovin's hideaway!

Today, we discuss a manga that one of us aptly describes as 'like reading a hug'. It's feelsy, it's adorable, it's Komi-san can't communicate! With a waifu so powerful her reaction images dominate social media in anime circles, we dive into this warm, slow paced slice-of-life series. Which characters did we love? Which characters would we rather stay the hell away from? What were our highlights?

Hovin and pals dissect the Food Wars manga's final arc, concusion and epilogue. (Spoilers ahoy!) How did it size up to our expectations? Just *how* realistic or edible are the dishes on display? Is Rindo or Ikumi best girl?

Today on the Hideaway, Hovin is joined by Otaquest's Jacob Parker-Dalton to discuss the conclusion to the manga phenomenon that's taken the anime community by storm- the ambitious, bleak epic that is Attack on Titan! FULL MANGA SPOILERS  

Did the ending live up to the series' lofty ambitions? What did we think of Titan overall? What makes its reception so polarising? How many anime openings will Hovin's handy robot companion attempt to sing covers of? LISTEN TO FIND OUT  

Gib https://www.youtube.com/c/WensleydaleCheddar a look-see for Duckface Diaries and pls gib them a sub for their upcoming AoT vid!

As a new era of MCU TV series' is ushered in, another comes to a close. With Wandavision upon us, Hovin attempts (poorly) to bring you up to speed on that one Marvel series you *probably* haven't finished. Is it an overlooked gem? Is it a total waste of time? Can his trusty assistant, Android Hindsight cover all of his bases when he forgets to explain something? LISTEN TO FIND OUT
