Bebop Banter: The Premiere Anime Podcast

First of all, a MASSIVE thanks to our listeners for sticking with us during this dry spell - we have plenty we're gonna try to give in the coming weeks. With that being said, this is the end of a manga era. From larger series like JJK and MHA ending to relatively smaller ones like Hokkaido Gals, there's a real chance that what you started your journey into anime with is no longer around to walk the path with you. Join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they reminisce on their childhood series ending, give advice on how to get over it, and discuss some trends they see moving into a new age. 

The boys are back from their summer break with a new, and long overdue, episode upload. Catch up with Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they discuss a little bit of what they've been up to, some news, and more. AND...look forward to an episode VERY SOON talking about the 30th Otakon Anniversary. Thanks for listening and see you all soon! 

In this episode of Bebop Banter, join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they discuss the digital direction that manga is heading! From the earliest days of scanlations to the rise of official sources and the battle of the translators, this episode will give a fan's take on all things digital manga! Thank you so much for sticking with us and see you next time! 

As the boys prepare to post new episodes on current anime-related endeavors, join them this week in an older, yet until now unreleased, episode where they catch up, joke around, talk about what they're up to, and talk about the future of the pod. With a few goofy edits, and some surprises along the way, we hope you enjoy! As always, thank you all for listening and see you next time! 

It's been a while since the passing of Akira Toriyama and in all honesty it has taken a while for us to gather all of our thoughts in a way that we feel is presentable. So this week, for our listeners out there, join the boys as they celebrate the life and works of Akira Toriyama.

First of all, the news of Akira Toriyama's passing hit us all out of nowhere and hard so there will be a memorial episode coming out soon. With that aside, this week join the boys as they review their picks from the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, discuss their thoughts on the show's changes over the years, and speak on the environment that the anime community currently is in that might have led to some surprise wins or predictable sweeps. Thank you for listening and see you all soon! 

2024's release schedule has been on a monthly basis thus far, and we're working to change that, but in the meantime the boys have been busy. This week, Join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they discuss the movie that they lived out during Katsucon 2024! What did they do, who did they see, and how much did they spend? Tune in to find out! 

With Katsucon coming up in a couple of weeks, the boys have gotten back together pre-convention to discuss what they've been up to since the start of the year, what they're looking forward to going forward, and more! Thank you to everyone that has been listening despite our temporary shift to a bi-weekly(ish) schedule and look forward to the next episode! 

The First episode of 2024 is, of course, a look back at what the year 2023 gave us anime-wise thought the lens of the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Join the boys as they discuss each category, each projected winner, and their own personal winners. And look forward to next week where the boys will catch you all up on their mini-winter hiatus and lay the groundwork for the year to come! Thanks for listening and see you all soon! 

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...except for the boys talking about Attack on Titan! This week, join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they break down what made Attack on Titan so special. From its first impressions to its production quality and ultimately its cultural impact enjoy part 1 of our look at a series that defined a generation. And look forward to part 2 where we discuss the finale in all of its glory!
