Best Manga Podcast in the World!!

Hey there! Let me tell you about my absolute favorite podcast: Manga Machinations. It's like stepping into a cozy cafe filled with friends who share my passion for manga. dakazu, Darfox8, Morgana Santilli, and seamus2389 feel like old pals, chatting about everything from hidden gems to beloved classics. Their discussions are engaging, their recommendations spot-on, and their camaraderie infectious. Whether I'm a seasoned manga veteran or just starting out, there's always something new to discover and love. Manga Machinations isn't just a podcast—it's a welcoming community where my love for manga feels right at home.

Great Manga Podcast

I first found out about this podcast through the Parasyte retrospective. Parasyte was the first manga I ever read and I had watched few anime up until that point, so I knew little about manga. I liked the Parasyte retrospective, so I kept reading the manga that already retrospectives. I'm glad I did, because this podcast has introduced me to manga that I would have never known about and found to love. I love the entire crew and their personalities. Everybody has their own different interests in the manga they like, which diversifies the podcast. Also this podcast is very unique in that Dakazu, the host, reads Japanese which can sometimes inform you of manga that may not have translations. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to get introduced to great manga.
