Show Notes
0:00: Helen has had a bunch of real life stuff going on, leaving Justin to just talk about The Watch Cats of Ginza and how great Witch Hat Atelier is.
News
8:25: Barnes & Noble has been brought by Elliott Management. Justin and Helen discuss what this could mean for the future of bookstores.
10:45: Since there were pictures of DC characters drawn by Monkey Punch being slowly revealed, it made sense that there would be a collaboration with DC themselves. And as it turns out, there was.
Licensing News
12:40: Kodansha Comics and ComiXology follows up rescuing Initial D with rescuing MARS and You’re My Pet, which kicks off Helen wondering why these are called ComiXology Originals, and also why some industry people follow her on Twitter.
16:06: Yen Press didn’t make quite the waves with their recent Twitter announcements (probably because they’re saving up for AX), but they did license a Prison School spin-off involving the VP, more Madoka, and they will release an omnibus version of a manhwa.
16:50: Funimation is gonna release Tatami Galaxy, which for a few, has been long overdue for a physical release.
18:18: VIZ will be releasing digitally next week The Right Way to Make Jump!. Yes, there’s a right way, and it’s gonna detail the TRUE truths about making WSJ manga!!!
19:13: GKIDS has licensed Promare, which as Helen ended up saying before it was announced (she just guessed it would), it will premiere at AX. This will certainly be something since the creator of Fire Force will also be there, and may have had some…comments about TRIGGER’s film.
21:13: Media Do International released Mayu Minase’s Don’t Count Your Tanukis last week. This gets Helen to yell at Justin for not catching the Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun reference.
22:41: Cross Infinite World announced they’ve licensed Nao Tamaki’s Labyrinth Angel, which will involve people dying since an ex-assassin is involved in this light novel.
23:47: More streaming news! Thermae Romae and Knights of Ramune & 40 have been added to Crunchyroll via Discotek.
24:21: With summer season approaching, it’s time for anime streaming news, and Funimation’s got a few, including Fire Force, and one starring a pervert apparently.
They’re also now going to stream Shin Godzilla, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods and Resurrection F, and your name. This means Justin can finally rewatch your name again…
26:31: Aniplex licensed that MomCom anime. We should all expect that to be streaming on multiple platforms. Also the two hosts realized there’s a lot of isekai coming out real soon.
Weird News
28:34: Justin has been watching JoJo for a while, and at the revelation of where Araki got his inspiration, it all starts to click at how certain things are done in the manga and anime…
30:05: In case you missed there, there’s a Detective Conan game released out in the wild! It is a real thing Bushiroad released in English! Why no one knows, but they did! And Justin…Justin doesn’t really want to download it!
