    Show notes

    On this episode of Manga Mavericks, we manage to record an episode before Sid joins Vlord to head out to Los Angeles for Anime Expo! Which means we didn’t have much time to dedicate to getting ready for another long series discussion, but we did sit down to talk about our first impressions of Hiro Mashima’s first chapter of Eden’s Zero! We discuss why we think the first chapter of this new series is already a lot better executed then most of Fairy Tail and where we hope the series goes in the future, but not before we talk about our fair share of news! Including a list of the top selling media franchises in Japan in 2018 so far, Tite Kubo’s upcoming new one shot, and Seven Seas’ biggest LGBTQ manga license to date!

    Manga Mavericks EP. 51: Momiji no Kisetsu and Invade You! Jun 29, 2018
    Show notes

    If you’re reading this right now, we need your help! Our supposedly good friend and regular guest Maxy Barnard was so upset we hadn’t invited him on the podcast in a while that he flew from the U.K. to the U.S., traveled cross-country to kidnap us, stuffed us both in a large grocery store plastic bag, and trapped us in a closet! Colton tried chewing through the bag, but instead, he ended up choking on it like a pigeon and is slowly coughing and suffocating to death. I’ve only just managed to rip through and break down the closet door. Maxy confiscated our phones so we couldn’t call for help, but I’ve managed to hack his laptop so I’m messaging for help before he comes ba--AAACCCKKKK!!!! … Ha ha, don’t take what my good pal Sid said seriously. He doesn’t exist anymore. Neither of them do. But I promise you we’re all having a smashing good time anyways! We’re going to talk about some Jump Starts, namely the recent two, Momiji no Kisetsu and Invade You. About time too, considering the new round of Jump Starts have already started. Oh, those silly lazy Manga Mavericks boys. Why, if I’d been on the show earlier they would’ve never put off talking about these series for so long! It’s a gosh dang crime they didn’t shower Invade You with the praise it deserves - after all, it’s one of the best and funniest Jump Starts in a while! Those Weekly Manga Recap blokes don’t know what they’re talking about. Ha ha, I swear, one day they will PAY…for the officially licensed graphic novels because they will love the series! Ha ha, I certainly won’t have to INVADE YOUR homes to force you to read it like the Mav-er...it’s..because it’s a good comic! That’s it. I knew where I was going with that. I’m not crazy. But yes, I’m excited to be on the show again! It’s been much too long. Far too long. But now, dear listeners, this podcast will prove why MaxyTheBee is MAXYTHEBEST!! PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:22 - Intro 06:34 - Should Viz have translated these new series’ names? 10:28 - Momiji no Kisetsu 24:14 - Invade You 34:05 - Thoughts on Robot x Laserbeam’s Conclusion 38:30 - Which series will replace RxL in Viz’s Shonen Jump? 42:55 - Black Clover’s 2nd Character Popularity Poll Results! 57:57 - Wrap-Up Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @manga_mavericks, on tumblr at mangamavericks.tumblr.com,and now on Youtube!

    Manga Mavericks EP. 50: Assassination Classroom Jun 24, 2018
    Show notes

    It’s only fitting that we hit our 50th episode during the same year we’re celebrating Weekly Shonen Jump’s 50th anniversary. Maybe we’ll eventually run fifty years ourselves. Hey, we’ve got two years down already, what’s another forty-eight? Regardless, we want to thank all you listeners for helping us reach this far! Your listenership and support makes doing this show all the more fun and fulfilling for us to do, and we want to keep going for a long while yet. To celebrate our 50th episode milestone, we wanted to revisit a series we’ve previously discussed on the show. So we decided to go back to class - Assassination Classroom that is! Turns out Colton never quite graduated from the series back when we first talked about it, so now that Viz Media’s release of the manga has concluded, we decided it was time to go back and finish it. Joining us is our guest from our original Yusei Matsui retrospective, Kiirobon, best known for his Shonen Sunday blog but also an avid Matsui fan in his own right! Together we discuss the trials and triumphs, the laughs and cries, the anything and everything of Yusei Matsui’s hit series about an unkillable octopus-monster teacher and his 28 would-be middle-school student assassins! But of course, we’ve got to talk about the news first! We discuss a slew of new One Piece spinoffs, the expiring licenses of several high-profile anime, and cool convention news! Plus, we talk about the latest Bookscan and discuss controversial topics like Viz Media dropping the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc and the repercussions faced by the New Life+ light novel author for his racist twitter comments! With as much as we had to talk about, we surprisingly manage to cover it all in only an hour! Which is good considering our Assassination Classroom episode managed to be over three hours long! This isn’t our longest episode, but it’s sure in the running. Which, hey, it’s our 50th episode. It deserves to be! PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:22 - Intro News: 02:00 - Bookscan May List 05:25 - Kenshin will not return in Viz’s Jump 09:15 - New One Piece Spinoffs! 12:55 - Bleach manga gets 2 volume artwork collection 15:45 - Hoshin Engi gaiden manga ends 16:20 - Boogiepop returns: VS Imaginator launches on June 27th 17:10 - New K-On manga launches in July 18:00 - Kaguya sama Love is War gets 2 spinoff manga 19:17 - Kengo Hanazawa launches another new manga in July 20:20 - Silver Spoon goes back on hiatus 21:55 - Tokyo Ghoul: RE ends in 3 chapters 22:38 - Barakamon ends with 18th volume in December 24:45 - Seven Seas replaces Magical Girl Special Ops Asuka volume 2 due to misprint 25:55 - Digital manga finally starts shipping KOR to some backers 27:20 - Nozomi’s Rose of Versailles anime license expires 29:38 - FUNimation’s Black Bulter II license expires 30:40 - Viz’s Shaman King license expires 31:35 - 23 Shogakukan magazine launch anti-piracy campaign 33:55 - Manga sales increases after piracy site closure 36:08 - Go Nagai attends Anime Expo! 37:20 - Attack on Titan season 3 premieres at Anime Expo 38:07 - MHA Two Heroes movie premieres at Anime Expo! 41:15 - Viz Media Anime Expo Panels & Special Guests 47:52 - Crunchyroll Expo to host Darling in the FRANXX staff 48:40 - Japan Cuts Festival to host U.S. premiere of live-action Bleach film 50:45 - Eiichiro Oda donates $8 million for Kumamoto relief effort 52:25 - New Life+ light novel controversy 55:50 - Arc System Works to make Kill la Kill the Game 57:47 - Jump Force 1:05:20 - Assassination Classroom discussion w/Kiirobon 03:56:40 - Wrap-Up Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @manga_mavericks, on tumblr at mangamavericks.tumblr.com,and now on Youtube!

    Manga Mavericks EP. 49: Devilman Jun 10, 2018
    Show notes

    We’re taking a short break from Shonen Jump-related podcast to talk about a creator celebrating a special 50th anniversary milestone – Go Nagai! 2018 is the 50th year of the legendary mangaka's career, and he’s seen a resurgence of popularity thanks to a slew of new anime based on his works like Mazinger Z: Infinity, Cutie Honey Universe, and most famously, Devilman Crybaby! To celebrate Go Nagi’s legacy and the renaissance of his work in the anime community, we’re discussing the original Devilman manga, recently released in the U.S. for the first time in a beautiful hardcover edition courtesy of Seven Seas! Joining us is our good friend and devilishly handsome Go Nagai devotee Josh Dunham, host of Senpai Coast to Coast of co-founder of Wave Motion Cannon! We go over Go Nagi’s career, what inspired him to write Devilman, and how his personal demons may have carried over into his work. Josh provides a ton of wonderful insight on the chaotic, anarchic mind of Nagai, making for one of our best analytical discussion so far! This podcast has literally been two years in the making – we’ve been planning to do a Devilman podcast with Josh since we first had him on the show all the way back in July 2016, so it’s exciting to see it finally come to fruition! Sit back and listen as we explore the macabre world of Devilman and gleam as many insights we can from its dark and twisted world. But first, we’ve got our usual news roundup to go through! We discuss the Oricon Top Selling Manga list, which has some surprising series making it on to the top ten! Then, we discuss the deaths of several manga magazines in print, and speculate whether this trend heralds the end for manga magazines in general. Plus we discuss a lot of new manga, new licenses, and new anime that we’re really looking forward to!

    Manga Mavericks EP. 48: World Trigger May 26, 2018
    Show notes

    Even though World Trigger has been on hiatus for a long time, the love of its fans remains strong. With the series celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, we thought now would be as good as time as any to re-read and talk about it! Joining us are two VERY passionate World Trigger fans and Osamu Mikumo stans - Annaliese Christman, letterer of the series for Viz Media and Weekly Shonen Jump, and Wensleydale Cheddar, host of the Shonen Jump podcast Stammer Stream and the voice of Osamu in Team ODA:R’s World Trigger abridged series! Can they help LumRanmaYasha convince Colton that it’s the best sports manga that isn’t technically a sports manga ever made? Either way, we had a long and fun discussion of one of our favorite series, and we hope you enjoy it! But first, we’ve got a ton of news! We talk about both the Bookscan and Diamond monthly lists, new licenses, lots of industry shakeups, and a few fun polls! There’s so much to talk about, it’s no wonder this episode ended up being four hours long! In fact, we had to cut stuff out of it so it wouldn’t run over five! Speaking of which, you can expect another Q&A Extravaganza focused on World Trigger coming next week! You guys have got a lot of listening to do, and you better start!

    Manga Mavericks @ Movies #17: Baby Driver and Logan Lucky May 18, 2018
    Show notes

    Manga Mavericks @ Movies month continues with two stylish, sexy films about cars and crime! That's right, we're discussing Baby Driver and Logan Lucky, two films made by experienced directors honing their craft in these tightly-paced and smartly-plotted stories about good guys doing bad things for the sake of the people they love...with CARS!! Does Edgar Wright's Baby Driver hit the beats of the fine-combed screenwriting and smartly self-reflexive humor that's become his signature? Is Logan Lucky a worthy souther-style spiritual successor to Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's series? Put in your earphones, get in your car, and put the pedal to the mettle as you listen to our podcast on the road to wherever your destination may be!

    Manga Mavericks @ Movies #16: Blade Runner 2049 May 15, 2018
    Show notes

    Manga Mavericks @ Movies month continues as the Mavericks discuss two 2017 films with the word "blade" in their title: Blade Runner 2049 and Blade of the Immortal! But that is not their only connection; both films feature acclaimed directors using their distinctive styles to bring a fresh take to a beloved story. Is Denis Villeneuve's exploration of how to define humanity as artificial intelligence increasingly resembles genuine consciousness superior to Ridley Scott's original take? Beneath its bloody chambara stylings, does Takeshi Miike's adaptation of Hiroaki Samura's manga cut to the heart of its meditation on the futile cycle of revenge and the moral paradox of taking a life to protect another? The Mavericks discuss how these films reflect upon the themes of their original work and expand on them to communicate new ideas - their ideas - through them! PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:30 - Intro 01:26 - Blade Runner 2049 48:12 - Blade of the Immortal 1:19:55 - Wrap-up Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @manga_mavericks, on tumblr at mangamavericks.tumblr.com, and subscribe to us on Youtube.

    Show notes

    Manga Mavericks @ Movies month continues! In this installment, we jump forward from March 2017 to October, a month Hollywood typically reserves for horror. And boy did we see two scary movies that month...scary good movies that is! In fact, unlike Ghost in the Shell and Power Rangers, these films were adaptations of beloved franchises that were well-received! Which two films could we mean? Well, if the title didn't tip it off, they're the Tokyo Ghoul live-action movie and the IT remake! Where did these films succeed as adaptions where GITS and Power Rangers failed? Join the Mavericks to find out! Don't worry if you're skeptical that our assessments will hold up...by the end of this podcast, I guarantee that you'll float too.

    Manga Mavericks @ Movies Month is going strong! We’ve been posting new movie reviews on our Youtube channel every day and plan to do so for the entire month of May! These reviews will also be uploaded to our podcast feed just a few days afterward. I’ve just put up our Ghost in the Shell/Power Rangers podcast, a pairing of two remakes of beloved 90’s franchises that weren’t particularly well-received. Check it out and look forward to more new @ Movies podcasts popping up on our feed this month! Of course, @ Movies isn’t all we’re doing this month! We’ve got regular Manga Mavericks episodes planned too, just like the one you’re about to listen to! This week’s episode is kind of a back-to-basics affair. Both your regular Mavericks are present, there’s a normal amount of news to talk about, and we cover a few recent Jump Starts and one-shots to cap off the show! A pretty normal episode compared to the past couple of atypical entries. Honestly, the only thing that’s missing is a Bookscan list to talk about, but I’m sure we’ll have plenty to say about the next one. Before you listen to the show, I want to emphasize the content warning for the Gerard Jones story. There are some extremely graphic details we had to acknowledge that should be sickening to any sane human being. It made me physically ill when we were discussing it, and then again when I had to edit it. If you can’t stomach hearing about sexual violence towards children, then please, you are better off skipping that news piece because it is extremely upsetting. But hey, this isn’t a dour podcast by any stretch. I mean, we got to talk about loop theory, kaiju that can shoot lasers out of its arms, and a talking house that can transform into a giant mech! It’s irresponsible to ignore real-world problems to consume entertainment, but our discussion of these recent Jump Starts was a nice reminder of how valuable it can be to have a good manga to brighten up a bad day. Editor's Note, 2020: As a consequence of Nobuhiro Watsuki's charges being dropped (as discussed on this podcast), we've since reevaluated our feelings on Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro's own allegations and are less enthusiastic and supportive of him and his work. We still feel our discussion of Build King is worth sharing, but we wanted to note that our feelings on this comic and its creator are more complicated and critical now. This podcast is very much a product of its time, and we humbly ask you to keep this in mind as you listen to it.
