We're calling it now. In this episode, we're putting the spotlight on BlackSuns, a WEBTOON by Play and Miin that has everything it needs to be the next big thing. Inspired by giants like Naruto and Bleach, this action-packed shonen about a young shinobi on a demonic quest is a must-read, and we're breaking down exactly why.

Of course, the mandem also cover the "Word On The Street," with our takes on the upcoming Demon Slayer & Chainsaw Man movies, whether Windbreaker S2 fell off, and if Lord of Mysteries is taking over the scene.

If you want to get ahead of the curve and find your next favorite series, this is the episode for you.

In this critical episode of Nani Talks, we connect the dots between the current political climate and the culture we love. The mandem are having the necessary conversation about how the new presidency's stance on DEI is already having a chilling effect on diversity and representation in media.

The "Caucasion Black Panther" controversy isn't a random event; it's a symptom of a larger issue. We use this as a jumping-off point to dissect the underlying racism that has existed in anime for years. We're breaking down the uncomfortable truths, from Frieza's use of the word "monkey" in Dragon Ball Z to the disturbing pattern of Zorro's opponents in One Piece.

This isn't a coincidence; it's a consequence. We explore where these themes stem from and what the future holds for representation in a world where diversity initiatives are under attack. Join us for a deep, unfiltered, and essential discussion.

The mandem are back to tackle a real life anime dilemma sent in by one of our listeners.

This week's situation is a sensitive one. A listener, who was introduced to anime by her partner of five years, is now struggling. After enjoying the culture together, including cosplaying at Comic-Con, she's noticed his viewing habits have shifted to content that feels "more like pornography than adventure," which makes her uncomfortable .

She's asking for advice on how to address this without causing a major issue in their relationship.

In this segment, we break down the situation, discuss the fine line between different anime genres, and give our honest advice on how to open up a difficult conversation with your partner.

What would you do in this situation? Drop your advice in the comments below.

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 Donghua Invasion: We look at the wave of Chinese anime like To Be Hero X, Super Cube, and All-Devouring Whale and ask the question: Are they taking over? The Mecha Question: In 2025, is there still a place for giant robots? We debate whether the Mecha genre can make a meaningful comeback.

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.
