@@SilverHandLr well not only that but alot of people have no clue what's it like doing agricultural work and this was a fairly decent way to show it. That and I love slice of life stuff.
Some small corrections: 9:29 Apothecary diaries initially started as a web novel (free online) was written as a light novel, then adapted to manga and now adapted as an anime 15:31 Violet Evergarden is not an original, but based off a light novel (Kyoto Animations, studio for VE, is known to hold LN competitions and adapt the winners) Love the podcast regardless! Got lots of good recommendations :D
Apothecary diaries actually started as an idea in the head of its creator way before it got released as a web novel. Also, Violet Evergarden is considered a Netflix original. It kind of doesn’t make sense to make corrections if they’re not going to be correct.
@@coasterthekid8867 netflix originals doesn’t mean anything, they didn’t fund the production of VE at all it was simply bought off kyoani after they completed the anime. all stories starts off as an idea in the creator’s mind so idk where u r going w that comment
@@coasterthekid8867netflix original just means netflix is the only place to watch a series (legally) in that country. Other shows like Beastars, Dungeon Meshi, My Happy Marriage, and more are netflix originals even though they are based off manga and LN because netflix is the only service to stream it. Doesnt make sense to correct corrections if you arent going to be correct
Aside from Yukinobu Tatsu (Dandadan) who you mentioned, the other assistants who worked with Fujimoto on Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man are Yuji Kaku (Hell's Paradise) and Tatsuya Endo (Spy x Family).
I don't really watch streamers and am only really interested in manga discussions, happened to get recommended this and was pretty impressed with how much stuff you guys mentioned, not just the mainstream manga. Literally raised my eyebrows hearing you talk about Uchuujin no Kakushigoto as well as the Tachiyomi drama lmao, agreed with a lot of the opinions here too and can tell how much you guys like manga. Seems like some great variety manga content which is really fucking rare on youtube, subbed The Pool is an interesting new series from the mangaka behind Ajin, one of the best action manga ever.
To contrast, I'm here because I just like listening to these guys talk, and love their vibe from time to time since forever. Point is, very cool to hear this hits with actual manga fans too!
Frieren is quickly becoming one of the anime greats that elevate the source material by a significant margin. I was already a fan of the manga, but the anime really gets me in the feels and both of the Japanese and English dubs are excellent. Get ready for a feels trip if you pick this series up in either medium.
I always loved listening to peter, scarra and celine talk about anime and manga on stream and the same as a podcast has hooked me in by a mile. I'm really excited for the future.
Really enjoyed just the casual banter. Skeptical on longevity of this as there is only so much anime /manga content you can go through but looking forward to the direction / topics going forward.
I mean this is just the first episode, I'm sure they'll find their niche and there are always interesting topics in anime and beyond I mean trash taste pod is almost 200 episodes
@@InternetsPedestrian that's the exact reason for my scepticism. Trash taste members have gone on record to say an anime only podcast is difficult due to content and being gated behind seasons. Trash taste alternate between anime focused and none anime content constantly. But they've been around for years. I'm all in on the Scarra X Peter arc and I'll come along for the ride, however long or short it is.
@@Gameblocked It's also kind of an un-said thing, but the anime community, like Twitch audiences, is self-limiting. You can't really grow a bigger audience out of it. Trash Taste has a big in-built audience, but it's hard to grow out of that, whereas somebody like Chris, who appeals to the same age group but with a more normie audience has a longer career path because he won't have to still be talknig about anime and hentai in his late 40's if he's still making videos.
About My Hero Academia... I think it's gotten good lately. I think it slows down somewhere after the Festival Arc, but it picks up again. Things that have been set up since the beginning of the series are now coming back. You've got character introspection, commentary on hero society, and intimate interconnections between what it means to be a "hero" and a "villain." As someone who had dropped it a while back before picking it up again, I'd say give it another chance. Enjoyed the vid.
Loved the new podcast, the name is very ad hoc. The Mushoko tensei story is originally a light novel and that one is done. I wonder what you are your thoughts on the last 2 episodes of Solo Leveling. Hoping for many more Fake fan takes in the future.
Love that you guys are name dropping such iconic mangas in my reading history and not just focusing on mainstream mangas. Ive also more often been more of a reader and watcher. Currently, im reading more webtoons vs manga, though i still have some mangas i keep up with currently. Cant wait for more episodes.
Bro I didn't know this existed, I'm pumped! Some corrections For both Apothecary And Mushoku, they were both LNs/WNs. The manga isn't the original. Oh and the entire point of Mushoku Tensei is that the MC isn't likable 😅.
Another series people should check out from Hiromu Arakawa is her adaptation of the Heroic Legend of Arslan, especially if you enjoy grand medieval war stories.
What a great first episode! Currently reading TBATE (The Beginning After the End), a light novel, it has a manhwa too before but it hasn't been updated for awhile. A great read honestly.
Man, I was super sad when they announced the main artist for the manhwa was leaving, shit was just getting good as well!! Hopefully they can find a replacement this year because the few sub stories they’ve been releasing this year are not it lmao
@@jakemcculloch94 Yeah, it was such a cliffhanger that I couldn't wait anymore so I went straight to reading the light novel. Just looking forward to seeing new characters drawn.
Definitely would recommend to watch Frieren and Witch and the Beast. Those are together with Apothecary dieries definitely the biggest surprises of winter season.
I'm glad you guys talked about Shangri-La frontier because I love it and other VRMMO manga/manwha but I don't like it when they get trapped/isekai'd into the game world. I find it more fun when you get a real world chapter every now and then. I felt that Shangri-La frontier does this great with both showing other games and real life stuff when the characters are logged off.
Quotes of the EP "That series sucked ass, but I read the whole thing." "What is the act that produces children though?" - Peter "Boruto is a great example where umm- there's- it's bullshit." "The art studio pumps them out like KIDS." - Scarra
semi-mainstream recommendations: - Skip & Loafer (manga, but the anime is amazing too!) - Dungeon meshi (favorite manga ever, the ongoing netflix anime is gr8) - Witch Hat Atelier (reading through it now! Really great stuff)
I really enjoyed the dynamic between Scarra and Peter in this new podcast. I knew Scarra read a lot of manga but had no idea Peter did too, I don't particularly watch their streams only know of them through OTV. I can see why Scarra doesn't consider himself a "weeb" as he just reads manga and watches the occasional anime, he also doesn't go out of his way to buy merch from the stuff he reads and or watches. I like the name of the podcast as some people can be fans of an anime and or manga without having to know each and every little and obscure detail about it. As far as knowing characters names with the more anime and manga you comsume the harder it is to remember their names unless the characters have unique designs, names or play an integral part to the story.
The moment I heard you guys say the MC from Mushoku Tensei gives you an ick, you guaranteed me as a viewer of your podcast, cause, HARD SAME. Now I'll keep watching the rest of it, lol
Love this already. To answer the question I’m proud to say to be up to date on kingdom and my non-mainstream favourite is Kimi wa Natzotoki no Ma Cherie. A history, mystery and romance manga written by Natsumi Ito.
I enjoyed this a lot! I mostly enjoyed the raw talk about random things as I don't personally read or am interested in manga. I hope they add a section for other random topics!
So excited for this duo pod! Also to add on to the female sushi chefs, a lot of the time femalea weren't allowed to make sushi because our body temperature is apparently higher than guys so when handling rice or raw fish in our hands is different to guys or something like that, all according to my male friend that went to japan to train as a sushi chef 😂
Wow I only just found this and I have so much to go through, yay. I feel like there were so many things they mentioned as "manga" but actually started as LN, I feel like they should dab into them as well. Like when scarra said mushoku tensei is done, I think he was thinking of the LN.
I tried a place in DC called Kappo, female sushi chef named Minoru Ogawa that is currently running. A special wagyu menu instead of fish to make the sushi. Heavenly.
Omg I haven’t thought of silver spoon in years. I loved that series, it warmed me. I read a lot of manga and don’t know almost any of the names and don’t remember the character names. When someone talks to me about an anime or manga I’m like “hm idk that”, but then they start telling me the plot and I’m like “OH that one, right.”
Love both those!! Honey and Clover being my favorite series ever! Listening to Peter talk about Silverspoon made me think of it as well, ill have to give it a try.
Aw I love Silver Spoon, but I actually only ever watched the anime. I want to read the manga now after hearing how passionate Peter is about it. I love this podcast by the way.
As someone who has binge read more manga than all of my friends combined x10, I agree with the favorites - maybe that dates me since I did end up becoming one of the stronger American youth Go players back in the day lmao Haikyu was the first anime for me that elevated the manga.
I wish that the background is/are of "ANIME figurines", Manga-stuffs or anything similar, instead of just some plants. Suggestion: do a video where Scarra and Peter are buying anime/manga-related-stuff for their background.
Finally an actual anime podcast unlike trash taste who quit the anime thing only some episodes here and there but there’s so much recommendations bouta listen to all episodes out (only three rn)
Oh man Peter is a fellow Silver Spoon fan 🥹 I also agree with Peter because Silver Spoon is a slice of life anime so theres folks who’d already be turned off by that but I want folks to at least give the anime a shot. I love that one season it did end up doing so much.
As a super normie (watched 6 episode of My Hero Academia, 5 episodes of Demon Slayer, 1 episode of One Piece), this was an amazing 1hr 19min! Excited for this podcast! 🎉
Calling the Apothecary in The Apothecary Diaries for a concubine kinda hurt lol. And please don’t be one of those podcasts that shit on Shōjo just for the sake of it, it’s not only romance and all art is not the same. It’s a demographic meaning it can cover all sorts of genres and styles. Feels like a lot of details like the ones above were missed but other than that I am happy having a manga podcast to listen to and I’m sure you’ll improve over time!
Not sure how much you guys read current manga but my two recommendations for you are my two favorite currently publishing series on shonen jump (aside from One Piece of course): Akane-Banashi - It involves the Japanese performance art of rakugo where a single performer has to tell an entire story using only their voice and mannerisms. Some of the performances were so exciting and so beautifully drawn that it made me feel literally on the edge of my seat, as if I was actually in the theater. Different characters have different styles of rakugo and this is reflected in the art for their stories changing. Undead Unluck - This one is very hard to explain, both because of avoiding spoilers and because it's just so bizarre. It's ultimately a battle shonen but it's written very intelligently and creatively, both in terms of the characters and the powers. I recommend giving it a try blind and experiencing it for yourself but please don't give up on it too early if you think it's not your jam, because there are a couple of turning points in the series where the scope suddenly expands and you realize it's a lot more complex than you thought. From a certain point in the series, I've felt like it's gotten better with every chapter and that continues to this day. Finally, something that coincidentally these two series actually share - they have probably the best female protagonists I've read in manga. The main characters are actual chads and you can't keep yourself from rooting for them.
I looked for a "Manga podcast," and found this gem 💎 You guys have good chemistry. I wanna recommend an ongoing manga called Ankoku Delta, that has about 12 chapters out as of now.
I remember Peter essentially introduced me to manga/hwa, recommending Solo Levelling back in the playing Midsummer Madness on repeat on stream era, good times
I fuck with Toriko ALOT! Also have either of you ever read Gantz? I feel like not much people talk about it. Its definitely my favorite manga! (We don't talk about the anime adaptation). Last thing, Do you guys read manhuas or read Chinese cultivation novels? Because I honestly think cultivation media doesn't get much love/attention.
scarra and peter RAW ?!?! for free??
good choice of word
Scarra: I was once a professional player back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and now I am streaming as a dinosaur.
Finally, representation for all us fake fans out there
Best weeb duo!

Don't worry peter, I too love Silver Spoon and it's one of my top 5

9:33 *CORRECTION* Apothecary diaries started as a LN(light Novel) back in ( *2011* ) the manga started more recent around ( *2017* )
Unironically, the Egghead Island arc in One Piece right now might be my favorite arc since the timeskip.

I remember Peter essentially introduced me to manga/hwa, recommending Solo Levelling back in the playing Midsummer Madness on repeat on stream era, good times
I fuck with Toriko ALOT! Also have either of you ever read Gantz? I feel like not much people talk about it. Its definitely my favorite manga! (We don't talk about the anime adaptation). Last thing, Do you guys read manhuas or read Chinese cultivation novels? Because I honestly think cultivation media doesn't get much love/attention.
subbed instantly, good duo! Hope you two keep this podcast up!
please do an episode on the breaker it's so hard to find fans of that manhwa nowadays
You guys should have anilists updated, for ppl to see what you're reading and the score
3 Minutes in and Phil Swift was called Billy Mays 😭
