I first found out about this podcast through the Parasyte retrospective. Parasyte was the first manga I ever read and I had watched few anime up until that point, so I knew little about manga. I liked the Parasyte retrospective, so I kept reading the manga that already retrospectives. I'm...Read full review »

This is one of my favourite manga podcasts - highly recommended! What I love most about it is that the hosts’ different backgrounds and geographical locations are often reflected in their discussions, making them more nuanced and interesting. Dakazu brings some excellent translation notes as...Read full review »

I encountered a manga a few years ago and I for the life of me can’t remember what it was called. All I remember is that it’s not a new one but it was about these ninken clans that fought each other (?). I know that the main dog was taking his fathers place and he was in command of groups of...Read full review »

Whether it’s a new Shonen Series, historical fiction, or even BL, the cast is always entertaining to listen too, even if it’s discussing a genre you may not enjoy. So whether you read along with the long form series reviews, or just want to hear about what’s new in the manga world, this podcast...Read full review »

Honestly surprised I just found this podcast now- feels like listening in with friends. Everyone seems well informed of the series discussed (both popular and lesser known titles are talked about) and the guests that appear are perfect for the topics mentioned. My only critique could be that it...Read full review »

The Manga Mac crew have a great format with thoughtful hosts who all have different specialties and backgrounds. Darfox8 knows his shonen, Morgana’s got josei and horror down pat, Seamus focuses on mature, obscure, and indie stuff, and Dakazu is an all-rounder. Because Dakazu is able to read...Read full review »

I’ve only been listening to Manga Machinations for a few months, but I’ve really enjoyed what I listen to! Every one of the hosts bring a range of interests in terms of what kind of manga they read, especially dakazu who has the advantage of reading manga in Japanese and therefore titles that may...Read full review »

A great podcast covering a variety of topics not just manga, but also some anime and even live action adaptations. The hosts are interesting and each one has things he likes the most but can appreciate genres that aren’t to his taste and give pretty objective comments not just dissmis them...Read full review »

Found this podcast through their retrspective on goodnight punpun. Really like hearing them discuss the manga and its nice seeing them give love to manga that may be less known among fans of one piece or naruto.

This is one of the best podcasts I have listened to in years. I very much enjoy hearing what manga the hosts are reading each week, and the diversity in genres and subject matter always keeps me interested. Most of the series covered aren't mainstream, but that's what I love about this...Read full review »

Manga Machinations provides in-depth discussion of each manga, almost scene-by-scene, where the hosts discuss not just what happens, but also how the story makes them feel. It's very fun to hear the hosts talk about whether they expected certain story twists!Read full review »
