  1. Nani Talks - Episode 8.3 - Blanco: Anime Cinema & The "Cash Grab" Era

    Nani Talks - Episode 8.3 - Blanco: Anime Cinema & The "Cash Grab" Era

    UK legend Blanco joins the Naniverse Family for a chaotic episode. We're debating if the new wave of Anime Movies is a scam, and asking the uncomfortable question: Are Hisoka and Orochimaru actually predators? Welcome back to Nani Talks. In Episode 8.3, we are joined by Blanco to chop it up about the state of the culture. We dive deep into the current trend of "Anime in Cinema." Is the shift from TV series to theatrical releases a natural evolution, or just a greedy cash grab by the industry? We discuss if this money hungry energy is ruining the storytelling we love. Later, things get dark as we analyse two of anime's most controversial villains: Orochimaru (Naruto) and Hisoka (Hunter x Hunter). We look at their obsession with younger characters and ask if the "creepy villain" trope has gone too far. #NaniTalks #Blanco #HarlemSpartans #AnimePodcast #HunterxHunter #Naruto #AnimeIndustry #AnimeMovies • Like + Subscribe if you want more deep anime breakdowns. • Drop a comment we read and reply.

    Nani Talks - Episode 8.2 - Blanco - Game Time: Guess The OP

    We are back for round two with the Kennington lyricist, Blanco, but this time the energy has shifted. In this episode, we officially introduce the newest member of the Nani Talks squad, Jazzy Jeff. She joins the panel as our new co-host, bringing a fresh perspective and turning up the heat on our guest. We also unlock a brand new interactive segment: "Guess The Theme Song." With Blackkstarr on the decks spinning snippets of iconic tracks, Blanco is put to the ultimate test to see if his anime knowledge is as sharp as his pen. It is a clash of culture and memory can he name the series before the beat drops? This is not just an interview; it is a challenge for true fans. We invite you to play along with us, count your score, and drop it in the comments. Watch to see if Blanco clears the board or gets stumped by the deep cuts, and find out who the real anime king is in your circle. #AnimeQuiz #Blanco #GuessTheOpening #NaniTalks #JazzyJeff #WomenInPodcasting #UKRap #AnimeOST #MusicChallenge #OtakuTest #Blackkstarr #LondonCreatives #2026Trends #animeculture • Like + Subscribe if you want more deep anime breakdowns. • Drop a comment we read and reply.

    Nani Talks - Episode 7.4 - The Line Studio: What's Next?

    We got the inside scoop on what The Line Animation is building next. Plus, we put their knowledge to the test with the vaguest anime descriptions possible. In this special segment of Nani Talks, we move past the history and look at the Future of The Line. The team opens up about their current slate, the projects they are releasing soon, and where they see the studio going in the next few years. Then, it's GAME TIME. We challenge the BAFTA nominated pros to a round of "Guess The Anime from a Bad Description." Can they figure out the hit series from a single, terrible sentence?. It's industry insight mixed with high-stakes banter. #TheLineAnimation #UpcomingAnime #AnimeQuiz #GuessTheAnime #AnimationStudio #NaniTalks #FutureOfAnimation #ukpodcast • Like + Subscribe if you want more deep anime breakdowns. • Drop a comment we read and reply.
