Phantom Nekos

Happy New Year!

We're back! This week we discuss our respective New Year resolutions, both in our own animanga watches and reads but also for the podcast moving forward :) 

We also discuss what anime titles we're looking forward to the most this season. 

This week, we reflect on our year with first going over our Phantom Nekos Spotify Wrapped! We then shared our favorite manga and anime titles we saw this year, our favorite figures we've collected, favorite merch we've bought, and we gave shout outs to a couple of small, independent businesses. 

Thank you to everyone who has and continues to support us! We've greatly appreciate and don't take it for granted.

See you next year! 

This week, we tried to discuss upcoming anime titles for the winter 2023 season, however we diverted to our anime-related brain dumps and rants heh

This week, we discuss our thoughts on both the Chainsaw Man anime and manga, as of 12/13.

We also precede the episode with some fun tattoo updates heh 

This week, we share our picks on our Christmas Wishlist, both genuine and headass. But before that, we precede the topic by taking a short Chainsaw Man quiz.

Thanks for listening as always! 

This week, we do call back to our very first episode and do an anime check, this time suggested by friend of the show, Julia! 

This week, Yari talks about her experience at  Anime Pasadena last weekend. We then discuss our anime watchlists on our respective and shared streaming accounts :) 

We're back! 

This week we discuss the finale of the Tokyo Revengers manga! We discuss everything from the story to the reaction to the ending, so heavy HEAVY manga spoilers this episode. 

I got that DOG IN ME... but at what cost? 

This week, we talk about the famous Buddhist proverb "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one" and how it's used for Gojo and Mikey. 

This week, we discuss how the the impact the AniManga boom had on the community, including how the rise of popularity in anime has given the shojo community a bigger voice in popularizing shojo anime and manga series, while also having spaces where discussions of destigmatizing female-led series can take place.
