    Sneaking Some First-Episode Peeks and Tokypop's Surprise Stock Sale!!

    Episode 242 Crunchyroll's giving us some sneak peeks for the upcoming Fall season, and boy oh boy does Frankfurtter have some thoughts on the event. Spoiler alert, he goes old man Frankfurtter on some attendees (yikes!). Also, Tokypop is nearing the end of its public stock share offer for fans to invest in the company! A cool yet odd endeavor, this comes off the aftermath of a somewhat rocky 2025 year. Lastly, a webtoon app is closing down in North America. What does this mean for the digital manhwa market?? Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage have plenty to dive into in this week's episode!!

    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!
