  • The phrase "do you need a hand" has never been more twisted as we tackle Don't Mind Me, Sensei! Give Yourself A Hand! A lovely manga about drawing manga. Y'know, like iconic series Look Back and Bakuman. Except this time, with more masturbation. What will those mangakas think of next...

  • Yanderes! Isekai! Streaming! Yes, it's the weirdest what3words ever conceived as we discuss The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following! Were we so in love with it we'd hunt down all other fans? Did we just find this fine? Or did our now two streamers lament yet another disappointing streaming manga? What do you think, dear show notes reader, what do you think.

  • We're getting our Henshin on for Halloween this year, but... not in the way you'd probably like. Or hope. Yes, on the spookiest day of the year we're tackling one of the most morbid and horrific mangas / hentais of them all, ShindoL's Metamorphosis. This episode isn't for the faint of heart, so gather your resolve, and prepare to dive into a never-ending descent.

  • It's Fall anime season tie-in time, and for the biggest season we've gone corporate... and also magical girls? Yes, it's Magilumiere, where being a mahou shoujo is just another 9 to 5 career option. Did we enjoy this fresh take on the genre? Or stare longingly at all the other Fall anime series we could've been discussing instead...

  • The trilogy is complete! After Bleach in Year 3 and One Piece in Year 4, we wrap up our Big Three specials by discussing Naruto! And as is our ninja way for these eps, we discuss not just two, but five volumes of this iconic manga. From humble beginnings to the Land of Waves to the First Chunin Exam, we analyse the journey of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, and whether you should, in fact, believe it.

  • Social deaths abound this time as we tackle Ikenie Touhyou, aka Sacrificial Vote. And what is a social death? As it turns out, porn. Lots of porn. In a stacked genre of death games and battle royales, could this different take stand out, or just have us praying for good old fashioned sudoku.

  • We're covering maybe the defacto fanservice series this time around, as Ikkitousen aka Battle Vixens is our latest manga. Did we unearth yet another fragment of Mike's illicit past? And was it as trash as pretty much every other series he's dragged us kicking and screaming through? Yes. But maybe not for the reason you'd expect...

  • We had so much fun the last time we did a manga on marriage, so why not do it again! We discuss 365 Days To The Wedding, a romCON manga (this joke gets funnier every time I make it) where our two not lovebirds set up a fake marriage to avoid being transferred to Siberia! Were we in on it with them, or dobbing this series in the first chance we got?

Was this short shounen a fitting way to remember him, or a barren desert wasteland amongst his other iconic creations?

  • Another April Fools special is upon us, and on Mike's repeated, insistent request, we're looking towards live action adaptations, as we review the infamous Death Note adaptation. No, not the Japanese films. Or the Korean TV series. No no, we're watching Netflix's adaptation. And with Willem Dafoe in the mix, this has to be the best one of all! Right?

    Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Watch Trash Live Action Adaptations With My Friends And They Can't Keep Getting Away With This!

    Or The Trash Live Action Friends Podcast, for short.

    Every fortnight, our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil discuss an adapatation of an existing series that's made its way to the third dimension, watching, reviewing and breaking down (or having a break down over) what's good, what's bad, but mainly, what's Trash with a capital T. Will this one pass the test? Or be the latest in a long line of failures? Listen in to find out!

  • The spring anime season is here, with sequels galore. But why would we cover any of that drek, when we could talk about something much more... fabled. The Fable, in fact. A little action, a little comedy, a little drama, a whole lotta slice of life, but surely a slife about a hitman must be enough plot for our Mike?
