Episode 240

Ever wished there was a theme park tailored to us anime and manga fans? Sure, Universal Studios has a few attractions, but they're only temporary AND they only ever release in Japan! Well, our wishes have been granted. The universe has heard our cries and is answering our pleas! Yes, we are getting a manga-themed theme park!! In France... Also, might not be manga-themed... Also also, it's not going to be finished for a very, VERY long time...

This week's episode recaps the crazy rollercoaster (pun intended) fans experienced after the announcement of the manga-themed theme park in France. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage also go over Crunchyroll's newest job listing and what it could mean for those currently sailing the high seas. Grab come cotton candy and a puke bag, cause this episode is going to be quite the ride!

Episode 239

This week's episode is a mixed bag of topics, or as Frankfurtter puts it, "like throwing pasta at the wall...." Yeah, it's gonna be one of those episodes.

The bakabois cover the recent release of Sony's PlaystationTV, Shonen Jump removing and adding new series, and the steady increase of online anime bullying amongst fans. As the topics suggest, things get more and more heated as the episode drags along. So make sure to buckle up because this one is going to be an especially bumpy ride!
