Chelsea just spent like £1b on a lot of players to make like an amalgam of a team that doesn't know how to all play and meld together, but hopefully it'll work?

This episode, special guests Basil (@itsbasiltime) and Ruby (@PassionTentacle) join me to talk about Shuzo Oshimi's Inside Mari published by Denpa.

I've been following Chelsea for a couple years now; in depth since their most recent Champions League win. And I have no idea what's happening? Like does this happen with all football teams? Not the "owned by a Russian oligarch" thing, but the "big amounts of turnover leading to ???" thing. Can't wait for the all 11 with just forwards.

Also tweetbot broke again because twitter sucks like immediately after recording this podcast, so I'm back off twitter.

Anyway. This episode, it's our annual top lists extravaganza! Chris (@gokuffy), Helen (@WanderinDreamr), and Chris (@antoniuspius) join me to talk about our favorite anime of the year 2022 for nearly four hours.

These are good to watch, on Damar Hamlin, who I mentioned in the panpanya episode's opening notes: (debatable) with Pablo Torre and Domonique Foxworth, Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny with Domonique Foxworth, Garrett Bush on Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show.

This episode, we're talking about hara's Embrace Your Size: My Own Body Positivity published by Yen Press and Yuki Suenaga (story) and Takamasa Moue's (art) Akane-banashi published by Viz.

Embrace Your Size credits:

Akane-banashi credits:

The song you heard in this episode was "Like a Girl" by Lizzo.

Sports takes on a lot less meaning when stuff like what happened to Damar Hamlin happens. How many times has something similar happened on high school fields? D-II schools? And no one ever heard about it. Prayers to Damar Hamlin; hoping for the best.

This episode, Helen and Apryll are not with me, but Ink and Patz are and they are talking about two panpanya manga from Denpa, An Invitation from a Crab and Guyabano Holiday.

An Invitation from a Crab credits:

Guyabano Holiday credits:

The song you heard in the episode is "People are Strange" by The Doors.

Ink's audio is a little weird, I assume due to like 90+ percent of my RAM being used for no reason while we were recording. Apologies.

A lot of stuff happened, but it all means that this won't come out on time. I at least like to have a placeholder so AGC didn't have to update the post after I finally finished it though, so here it is. Thanks to Vinnie and Diego of AGC for organizing this in the stead of the OGs, the Reverse Thieves.

I watched Tatami Galaxy and SSSS.Gridman. Patz (@PatzPrime) watched Otherside Picnic. And Chris (@gokuffy) forgot to sign up, but he asked Kate to randomly pick three anime from his shelf, so he ended up with Shiki, Santa Company, and Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. So in a way, Ink was his secret Santa.

Hopefully the actual episode will be up before the new year, but no promises.

This episode, we're just counting down our three favorite manga that we read in 2022. Like previous years, it's just manga that we read; not necessarily manga that came out in 2022.

No credits from the manga this time around because we talked about nine different manga, and that's just a lot. Apologies for my own laziness.

The song you heard in this episode was "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters.

The World Cup is going on! Amongst the human atrocities and corruption that led us all to this point, I have been greatly enjoying the tournament following it for the second time ever (at least the men's iteration). Fortunately, Korea beat Portugal to get into the knockout round. Unfortunately, they were immediately destroyed by Brazil. But the future looks bright for Korea. Kim Moonhwan did well at right back; Kim Minjae seems a star at center back; Hwang Heechan, Cho Guesung, and Hwang Uijo looked great in attack. And of course Son Heungmin is great as always. Dae-han-min-guk.

This episode, we're talking about Shinichiro Nariie's See You Tomorrow at the Food Court published by Yen Press and ONE's Mob Psycho 100 published by Dark Horse.

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court credits:

Mob Psycho 100 credits:

The song you heard on this episode was "99" by MOB CHOIR from the Mob Psycho 100 anime.

It's the 100th episode of the podcast! As I say on the recording itself, this isn't the actual 100th episode; we've had a few above 100 since I've done quite a few 0.5 episodes (like the top movies podcasts) that aren't in the mainline of episodes. But at least the episodes where we talk about a sports anime or manga, it's 100 episodes.

I reached this milestone a bit earlier on Manga In Your Ears, just because our formerly biweekly and currently thriceweekly (is that a term for every three weeks?) would outpace Taiiku's monthly schedule regardless of whether I was actually on time on every single month of Taiiku (which I have not been). It's still a lot of episodes to be podcasting.

I also joked on Manga In Your Ears that I've now started two podcasts, but I have no idea how to end any. So I guess anyone listening is stuck pretending to listen until...I die?

Anyway, I digress. Thanks so much to everyone who's been on the podcast up to this point. Thanks to everyone who's listened and commented that you like an episode; it truly brings me unbridled joy (what is the etymology of unbridled? can I also be ungroomed? I kid.).

Thanks especially to Camellia, who started this podcast journey with me. She doesn't appear on as many, or any, episodes anymore, but both iterations of the website literally would not exist without her help. And I owe her a lot more than I give credit to probably. The standing invite will always be there too.

Thanks to Kyle for joining up on that first episode of Chihayafuru with us two; the former Chihayafuruhime himself.

Thanks to Chris and Chris, who have joined up along the way to cover a multitude of subjects, including sports anime, sports manga, just anime in general on a lot of the top anime shows, and branching out into movies, first with our top movies shows, then later with covering a director at a time. I can't wait to jump into Jean-Pierre Melville, and I learned so much from you two watching Kurosawa and Lynch.

Thanks to Ink and Basil, who have been on just so, so many episodes of this podcast and I would certainly have a lesser catalogue if not for those two being always willing to talk about the weirdest and worse dredges of sports anime.

And finally, and of course, thanks to everyone who jumped into this podcast and recorded segments for it. Chris (@gokuffy), Chris (@antoniuspius), Basil (@itsbasiltime), Austin (@bebopshock), Grant (@grantthethief), Lum (@LumRanmaYasha), Mikey (@MikeyShiota), and Tony (@tondog).

Here are a few of the other things mentioned on the podcast:

AWO podcast Basil mentioned on REDLINE - Anime World Order Show # 96 – Redlining a Herocaine Sandwich with Tim Maughan

Blade Licking Thieves - #15: REDLINE

Chris's REDLINE review on Mania (now Fandom Post) - Why Redline is Important and you SHOULD Believe the Hype!

Next time is Anime Secret Santa. Ho ho ho.

All I want this MLB postseason is for the Guardians to lose, the Astros to lose, and the baseball team in Atlanta to lose. I have separate rooting interests in the positive direction (lifelong Mariners fan here), but mostly I'm rooting for the cheaters, the racists, and the team that bullied the White Sox all season to lose.
