Welcome back to Nani Talks, the only anime podcast from the Mandem for the People!

In this special segment, we're putting our voice-acting skills (or lack thereof) to the ultimate test. The mandem grab their scripts and get their Gotei 13 hats on to recreate some of the most legendary and epic Bankai calls from the classic anime, BLEACH.

From the chill-inducing "Daiguren Hyōrinmaru" to the iconic "Tensa Zangetsu," we're giving it our all. Get ready to hear our takes on the Bankai of legendary Soul Reapers, including:

Ichigo Kurosaki

Byakuya Kuchiki

Toshiro Hitsugaya

Kisuke Urahara

Renji Abarai

Ikkaku Madarame

Who nailed their delivery, and who needs to go back to the Soul Academy? You be the judge! Let us know in the comments who had the best Bankai call.

You know the vibe. You see an animation and think, "That's cold." Chances are, you might have been looking at something cooked up in East London. This episode, we're giving flowers to The Line Animation studio. We're talking about their journey from a small collective to a global force working with giants like Riot Games, Gorillaz, and even Gucci. How does a London-based team capture the anime energy so perfectly? We get into their animator-led business, their biggest projects, and why their work hits different for anime fans. Don't sleep on the local heroes.

The mandem are back for Episode 3.2, and this time, we're having a conversation that's long overdue. We're diving deep into the strong, undeniable bond between Black culture and anime. From the drip in our fashion to the samples in our music, the influence is everywhere, yet it often feels like a one-way street. Why is this connection so prominent but also so hidden in plain sight? We're breaking down the references, questioning the lack of representation, and asking why the love doesn't always feel reciprocated by the industry. This is a real one. Tune in.
