• Episode 104 - The Underrated Crime Thriller Masterpiece - Naoki Urasawa's Monster

  Monster isn’t at the top of any anime lists. Whether this is due to its unconventional storytelling or darker cerebral tone , it’s these very same elements that set Monster apart from more popular anime as a rare masterpiece that doesn’t get enough attention. A mature crime thriller from one of the best mangaka’s of all time (Naoki Urasawa), Monster offers great storytelling in a grounded setting. This makes it a different kind of gateway anime, appealing to fans of true crime and thriller stories who may otherwise never give anime a shot. Despite being renowned as a masterpiece, Monster is often overlooked by anime fans. Returning guest Gerald Lillywhite is one of them, who joins the discussion fresh after finishing the series to offer his perspective as a writer. 🤖 See us live at 'MechaFest: An Anime Celebration' from 8-12 May at ACMI in Melbourne!

• Episode 103 - Science in Anime

  Put your lab coat on and join us for some experimenting with spooky science in anime... which is seemingly always awful? 🧪 Anime has always warned against the dangers of reckless futuristic advancement, with robots and mecha often taking the spotlight. With the recent trend of AI models replicating Hayao Miyazaki's work with Studio Ghibli, this seemed like the right time to dig into the darker side of science and how anime portrays that in such a unique way. 🤖 See us live at 'MechaFest: An Anime Celebration' from 8-12 May at ACMI in Melbourne!
