Triangle Anime and Manga Review: Power Progression Tiers and What's fun about OP Characters

This week Logan and Ozzy are talking about, what Logan calls, the power tiers of OP characters. Logan has categorized main characters from different manga on their way to becoming over powered characters in their universes and discusses how their power levels impact how the story for the anime progresses.

 

Logan and Ozzy also attempt to place different anime characters in each tier without getting attacked on the internet... we'll see how that plays out. This leads into their discussion of what story types they enjoy the most in shonen anime and what types of characters are supported by those stories.

 

Following up on last week's manga recommendation Logan and Ozzy discuss their thoughts on "Teppuu". Ozzy only had to read 10 chapters, but ended up reading the entire series (granted its only about 35 chapters long) if that tells our listeners anything. We discuss the characters and the MMA representation in detail and just generally gush about the series.

 

This week's recommended manga is "MASHLE: Muscles and Magic", which is a weekly manga currently running in shonen jump. The main character Mash, who is super strong, is forced to enter a magic academy. Since Mash cannot use magic he must find a way to succeed in the school by only using his muscles. What appears at first to be a bold rip off of One Punch Man combined with the Harry Potter Universe turns into a lively comedy and action manga with diverse characters.

Triangle Anime and Manga Review: What makes a sports anime?

This week, to celebrate the start of Major League Baseball and end of March Madness, Logan and Ozzy are talking sports anime and manga. Logan and Ozzy discuss why manga artists and story tellers like to write sports manga despite the seeming difference in fanbases between manga readers and sports watchers. 

 

Logan Then asks Ozzy to help him qualify whether certain anime are technically sports anime. Wikipedia says Speed Racer and the recent anime "How Heavy are the Dumbells you lift?" are sports anime, Logan isn't sure if he agrees.

 

Finally Ozzy and Logan cover what they feel their requirements for a good sports story are. To wrap Logan and Ozzy discuss their thoughts on the recommended manga from last week "Mieruko-chan".

 

This week's recommended manga is "Teppuu", A female MMA manga about Ishido Natsuo, a talented girl who is struggling to find motivation and purpose despite the athletic skills she possess'. Also Natsuo enjoys beating people up and crushing other athlete's dreams... so if you're expecting a cute manga about making friends and spending time with other people this probably won't be what you're looking for.
