“Are you looking for a podcast that introduces you all about wrestling, sports, movies and music that you never wanted to know while occasionally having a thoughtful and intelligent discussion about manga? Then you are in luck, for Weekly Manga Recap is your one stop shop for all of these things and more! Each episode promises hours of laugh out moments, in-depth talks and rage fuelled screams. Plus, listen as 2 grown men undergo a transformation from being tsun tsun to dere dere to World Trigger, a manga the hosts take great care each week nowadays to caress its proverbial bookspine.
The hosts, Chris "Formerly known as LordVanQuack, but lost his funky hat so its Rollot now" Larios and Nicholas "Y. The ruler of Time, Master of Space, arbtrar of Wisdom and Lord Of hand-me-down Xmas gifts" Freeman, offers their unique input and view each week on all sorts of topics, and at times it might even relate to the manga discussion!
Chris' forms the emotional epicentre of the podcast, what's with his bitter sad tears over how Toy Story 3 ended and how cartoons make him sad, all the while maintaining critical skills which are as sharp as an ice pick. I would go so far to say that Chris is in a lot of way similar to the 6th President, Benjamin Franklin. Both are Pennsylvanians, are loved by foreigners (with Chris, the Emiratians, English and especially Germans, while there wasn't a French women Ben hadn't meet he couldn't woo, as his governmental expenses reports had proven). Sadly, Chris likes corny 90's themes, in spite of his otherwise respectable music taste. That might no seem like a flaw, but remember, Benjamin Franklin only ended up as Pennsylvania's President while a Quincy became the Union's 6th President, all because he forgot that women suffrage need to happen for all those French women to vote for him in the general election, so the worst case scenario now is that a giant anamorphic hand rules the Free World.
Meanwhile, Nik, who puts forth a grouchy, chocolate pretzels hating demeanour, possesses keen intellect, strong spirit, a strong moral compass. Listen to him talk about any subject, and how he masterfully use his knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh, wrestling and spiritual matters to craft compelling metaphors and argument every week without fail or hindrance. He is in a way the King Solomon of manga podcasting. Except, he's of Dutch not Jewish descent, and Solomon got his rings after God came to him in a dream and granted him infinite wisdom, whereas Nik 10 magic rings are ingrained with the wedjat eye, which would be highly blasphemous. Also, he hates chocolate.
To close off, remember, much like President Kennedy said more than half a century ago, and the examples the hosts go by, we are all jelly doughnuts, cut from the same delicious dough, stuffed with the same gooy red stuff, and traveling down the Milky Way on this crusty stuffed marble we call Gaia. Ich bin anna boylen!”Read full review »

“I've been listening to this on and off for ages now, and have gotten some really good recommendations from them - Food Wars being a current favorite. It's also kind of difficult for me to retain details of each chapter from week to week, so listening to this before I read the next...”Read full review »
