Triangle Anime and Manga Review Podcast: Start of Fall 2021

This week, after warming up with some discussion on hot springs and ramen, Ozzy and Logan begin discussing the 2021 season of anime.

 

(6:30) We begin by talking about the rating aggregates of anime so far this season per reddit before we discuss what we have already begun watching.

(18:15) Ozzy kicks us off on the shows we are continuing with our discussion of 86ers which has continued strong, (23:00) Aquatope on White Sands which Logan wants to see end, and (25:40) Mushuko Tensei which is both Ozzy and Logan's favorite anime.

(31:15) Ozzy and Logan start off the new series this fall on Sakugan. A story of battling egos in a smart daughter and an experienced father trying to explore an underground world with their mecha.

(40:30) Logan has to deal with the fact that he recommended Faraway Paladin, and that the Paladin isekai has progressed slower than bark growing on a tree.

(48:15) We find our darkhorse on the season in Ranking of Kings. an anime of a weak prince who must face many struggles on his road to try becoming a great king. It is so much more than what it sounds like on the surface.

(55:25) We discuss Assassin Isekai'd as an Aristocrat (I'm not typing the whole title), and how it is a serviceable isekai with some nice twists that general anime fans may enjoy even though it lacks depth.

(1:02:00) We come back to Mieruko Chan. We haven't talked about this series since we discussed it as a manga in our second episode. This story of a girl who suddenly finds herself able to see evil spirits and does her best to maintain her daily life, has been a highlight on the season.

(1:06:30) Finally we discuss "Komi-San Can't Communicate" and compare both the manga and the anime to discuss the different things that make them both great and the things netflix can improve upon. Great series, definitely check it out.

(1:16:45) To close out the episode the manga we will discuss next time is "Song of the Nightwalkers" which was recently picked up as an anime. The anime translates the title as "Call of the Night", but manga translations show different titles. It's a story about a high schooler who has serious insomnia. He finds peace by taking long walks alone at night. One day he stumbles across a vampire girl... plot ensues. A story neither Ozzy or Logan have read so it will be a fresh experience. be sure to read the manga so you can experience it with us.
