If you watch anime, you’re familiar with the terms ‘sub’ and ‘dub’ and are probably well aware of the divide they cause within the anime community.

A beautiful blend of two distinct subcultures, Hip Hop and Anime has been influencing one another since the early 90s, maybe even earlier. Come hang out with us while we have a lively debate about Anime's influence on Hip-Hop and vice versa. What are your favorite blends that come to mind? Let us know. We LOVE both these topics so we were waiting to do this episode for a while now. Akira, Afro, Champloo, and many more animes have hip hop tracks all throughout it, even Naruto! Don't sleep on this episode, our best episode yet! Hard to top out lively debate on Live-Action Anime Adaptation but we did it. 

Luis and X talk at length about live action adaptations of anime. Should they continue to attempt western live action adaptations of anime? Is there a faithful, well made adaptation of anime, Japanese or American? What about movies based off video games? What was meant to be maybe our shortest episode ended up being our most lively, engaging and longest episode. We had ALOT to say about live action anime! Let us know if you agree or disagree with anything we said.
