Triangle Anime and Manga Review Podcast: 2022 Fall Season Hidden Gem Shows

This week Ozzy and Logan take another look at some of the hidden gems of the fall seasons (which aren't that hidden but need all the attention they can get).

 

First we do a quick recap of heavy hitters such as Bleach, Chainsaw Man, Gundam: Witch of Mercury, and Mob Psycho Season 3.

 

When we get into the hidden gems we discuss the Sword Isekai and how the cute interplay between two characters have built things in to a surprising action drama that has sucked both of us in.

 

We then discuss Blue Lock and try not to get cut on THE EDGE. The timing for this squid game style soccer anime is perfect with the world cup as a backdrop and is growing on us week by week.

 

Then we touch on Do It Yourself, which is the current epitome of atmosphere in anime. Everything about this anime matches the title, from the art, to the story, to the music. Add in some great characters and have a fun chill watch when you need to wind down after a hard day.

 

Finally we talk about Bocci The Rock, which is probably gonna end the season as our favorite anime. The directing of this anime is fantastic. The way the art styles fall together, combined with a keen ear on how the music should sound has made for a music anime which takes a measured approach we don't usually see. The funniest main character in the past few seasons, along with some great secondary characters and a surprising amount of drama has created a masterpiece that we are hoping gets a second season at this point.

 

The manga this this time is The Breaker: New Waves, and the manga for next time is That Dragon Exchange Student Stands Out More Than Me.
