On this special episode of Another Day, Another Adventure, Colton & Sakaki have a somewhat unorganized talk in order to get their feelings out about Toriyama's passing and ruminate on what his influence meant to both the world and their friendship.

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum come together for another news episode! Discussion includes a lot what went on at Anime Expo a couple of weeks ago, such as the crew's Zom 100 fever and announcements from panels held by Noir Caesar, Trigger and Netflix! Along with our thoughts on how the live action One Piece series is shaping up after seeing the teaser and our picks for which new manga licenses have been announced over the past month as well! Due to time constraints, the episode is light on actual news compared to normal, but our Mavericks still have a lot of fun, laid-back discussion about all the cool stuff that's been coming out or that they have to look forward to! So enjoy that!

Check out the first episode of the Manga Mavericks Anime Club! A new podcast exclusively available on the Patreon where we'll be discussing various different anime! Starting with a blind watch-through of Hajime no Ippo!

We’re having a long-overdue conversation about Shonen Jump’s culpability in perpetuating sexism in both its workplace culture and in its series. More specifically, it’s time to have a serious talk about how it has been enabling and rehabilitating not one, not two, but THREE known pedophiles. When I say this podcast was long overdue, I mean it. We originally recorded this way back last August, back when news of Act-Age writer Tatsuya Matsuki’s arrest for groping two female middle school students broke and the ensuing fallout. Dejected and infuriated about the news, we gathered on friends of ours who previously loved Act-Age and were left as similarly furious at Jump’s terrible history with sex pests to vent about our criticisms of the magazine - Twitter friends Your Anime Guy and RinReadsManga, and Kendra from the My Hero Academia Podcast and View from the Top! Haikyu!! podcast. For context, we recorded this podcast on August 22nd 2020, two weeks after Matsuki’s arrest and before… everything that happened afterward. It’s astonishing and bewildering how many stories involving Jump and pedophiles have propagated recently, and even if this podcast was recorded before many of these stories occurred, I think our conversation addresses a lot of ever-relevant points on what Jump’s done wrong in the past when it comes to dealing with offending mangaka in their employ and their culpability in perpetuating a sexist culture that attracts such sex pests to work for them. I hope you’ll listen to our criticisms and calls to action with an open-mind, and that this will be part of a continuing conversation calling out Jump and any institution that feels comfortable in perpetuating sexist attitudes that endanger and victimize women and children. Also please keep in mind this is not our be-all, end-all podcast for calling out sexism in the anime and manga industry as a whole either. This podcast was recorded in response to the Matsuki news so we approached this topic from the perspective of Shonen Jump and Act-Age fans specifically, but there are more angles to the problems of sexism in the industry and community than what we could address from that lens in this podcast. That’s a much bigger, broader conversation that will require us to gather a lot more voices to give their input, and we intend to follow up on this podcast to address those necessary points and perspectives in the future. So, with all that context and those disclaimers given… well, there’s no clean way to transition into a conversation this heavy, and I’ve kept you all waiting seven months too long already, so let’s just jump in.

Manga Mavericks @ Movies continues our coverage of TMS’s newly-dubbed releases of Detective Conan movies by going back to the beginning - literally! That’s right, we’re covering Detective Conan Episode “One” - the 20th-anniversary anime special remaking the show’s first episode! This special was the first Detective Conan movie released on home video in the US in nearly a decade, and the first chance most people got to experience the new dub cast TMS has assembled for the series! This is also actually the first podcast covering these new dubbed Detective Conan movies we did; we recorded this when the special came out last July, but didn’t get around to editing it until recently. But with Detective Conan’s 1000th episode right around the corner, now’s the perfect time to release this podcast and revisit this retelling! Joining us are none other than the curators of the Weekly Shogakukan Edition Twitter and blog, Sakaki and Jecka! Together we share our thoughts on the new dub, including our favorite new voices and the ones from the old FUNi dub we miss the most. We also discuss how the special expands the show’s first episode into a full-length film, digging into the added scenes, gratuitous cameos, and other adaptational differences between the special, the first episode, and the manga’s first chapter! So join us as we investigate the case of whether one truth still prevails!

Hello darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! Continuing our read-through of Viz’s rerelease of the manga, we cover volume 7! This volume prominently features Onsen-Mark... sorry, “Hot Springs Emblem.” We still need to get used to that. But hey, his name change may leave us cold but some like it Hot Springs Emblem so who are we to judge? Anyway, everyone’s favorite bewildered and beleaguered educator gets the spotlight in a lot of chapters this volume, building off of the Tomobiki High-centric stories and Teachers vs Students conflict established last time. But this volume also features the notable returns of some old frenemies - Kurama and Tobimaro! Coincidentally, both are out for Mendo's head - in more ways than one! Man, Mendo gets into a lot of trouble in this volume, doesn’t he? We also talk about the series’s pop culture references, color pages, character dynamics, and so much more in another lengthy but jam-packed discussion of one of the series’ most eclectic volumes yet!

For right now, we have 40 minutes worth of serialization news alone to discuss, along with the newest lists from both Bookscan and the New York Times! Afterwards we have some new licenses to cover, along with some controversies involving MediBang and INKR involving insultingly low translation rates. We also discuss a lot of movie and anime news, as Demon Slayer: Mugen Train continues to dominate the box office and Detective Conan preparing to reach its 1000th episode!!

Manga Mavericks @ Movies continues our coverage of TMS’s newly dubbed Detective Conan movies by discussing the 19th film in the franchise, Sunflowers of Inferno! It’s another showdown between Conan and his magician rival Phantom Thief Kid, but this time the infamous jewel thief is after… a painting? It’s up to Conan (and the viewers) to see through all the red herrings and figure out Kid’s artful scheme! In doing so, we must deduce the most important question of all: Is this film a genuine work of art, or another trash-fire like The Darkest Nightmare? There is always only one truth, and we’re here to tell it like it is!

Hello, darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! We went back on an unexpected hiatus again last year, but hey, Viz’s second attempt to release UY in the 90s also unceremoniously stopped too. As they say, the third time’s the charm, and at least we’ve come back for our third try much faster than they did! Much like Viz’s regular releases of the series, we’re dedicated to resuming regular episodes of this podcast, which in our case will be monthly releases on the last friday of every month from here on out! We’ve already got some episodes banked and planned, and with more manga coming out and Discotek bringing the movies out later this year, there’ll always be plenty to talk about! Our plans for the next couple of episodes involve catching back up on the manga, starting with volume 6; the first volume featuring newly translated UY chapters from Viz in over 20 years! We excitedly discuss the first appearances of prominent characters like Kotastu Neko and Ryoko Mendou, the recurring conflict between the Tomobiki students and their teachers, and some classic stories playing around with japanese history and alien biology! Afterward, we dig into one of AC’s favorite hobbies - anime cel collecting! AC explains the history of cells, what the Urusei Yatsura cel market is like, and some of his favorite gets and most regretful misses. AC’s tips and tricks of the trade will be sure to help you get a start on building an awesome anime cel collection of your very own! So grab some tasty taiyaki and curl up in your comfiest kotatsu, and chill out listening to another lively episode of #Lum Squad!
