    Can You Name The Anime From Just The Colourway? | Joe Grind | Nani Talks | Episode 15.3

    No characters. No logos. Just the colours. Name the anime. This week the panel splits into two teams and plays Guess the Anime Colour Way. Blackstar puts a colour palette on screen, no faces and no titles, and the first team to buzz in and name the character or the show takes the point. JR and Slick against Tunes and Joe Grind of Joey's Fun House. What starts as a clean quiz falls apart inside two minutes: VAR gets called, the rules get rewritten twice, and the man holding the board gets accused of corruption more than once. The knowledge is real though. Asta from a black cape, Edward Elric from a single silver square, Nezuko, Gohan, Kakashi, Sailor Moon, and a One Piece tiebreak that nobody saw coming. Play along at home and see how many you get before they do. The only anime podcast from the culture. CHAPTERS 00:00 The rules: Guess the Anime Colour Way 01:25 Deku, and the first VAR call 02:33 New rule: get it wrong and it goes to the other team 03:36 Luffy, and the backup problem 04:51 The one nobody could name 06:16 Asta: black cape or blue and brown? 06:50 "Mediocre rubbish", and who is actually smart here 07:26 Sailor Moon, and the system 08:35 "We don't need the help": keeping it sportsman 10:47 Eren or Bleach? Black, orange, giant 12:13 The silver square was his metal arm 12:37 Gohan, Kakashi, and extra points 15:18 Nezuko 15:49 The ref gets accused of corruption 15:56 Tiebreak: what episode does Marineford end on? 17:09 The final score, and who really won 17:52 Next time on Nani Talks   GUEST Joey's Fun House YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC24zcu9DnWbFSRaPA3XBU_Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeysfunhouse TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joeysfunhouse Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4e8opWGsP5Yvc80ThFWoMW   Nani Talks Produced by Naniverse. #NaniTalks #Naniverse #GuessTheAnime #AnimeQuiz #AnimeChallenge #AnimeTrivia #JoeGrind #JoeysFunHouse #AnimePodcast #UKAnime #BlackClover #DemonSlayer #OnePiece #Naruto #AnimeCommunity TC The Vision: http://instagram.com/tcthevision The Quantum One: http://instagram.com/the_quantum_one Slick: http://instagram.com/slickcrafted Junior: http://instagram.com/juniorox_ Tun3s: http://instagram.com/_stay_tun3d Jazzy: http://instagram.com/_jazmine4 Producer | Director: http://instagram.com/theblackkstar Sound Design: http://instagram.com/kayper.d.w Visual Architect: http://instagram.com/tcthevision

    Is Your Gaming Room For You Or For Show? | Joe Grind | Nani Talks Ep 15.2

    Plushies, the sofa, the Nanoleafs, the Shenron on the wall. Then Joey asked who the room is actually for. We brought Joe Grind back for the panel half of Episode 15. First, Adrian from Sevenoaks told his boss he likes anime and now the man will not stop firing Kamehamehas across the office, and for the first time in the show's history we could not solve it. Then the big one: is tech moving too fast for the average person to follow? We get into want versus need, buying on FOMO, why Blockbuster lost to Netflix, obsolete iPhones and the security risk nobody reads about, and the fact that a robot vacuum might be the best adult purchase any of us has made. Finally we build the Nani Talks Fun House from scratch, and it turns into something else entirely: are you building a room for yourself, or a room for the people you invite round? This is Nani Talks, the only anime podcast from the culture. CHAPTERS 00:00 The dilemma: my boss will not stop doing the Kamehameha 01:33 Boundaries: you opened the door, now deal with it 02:17 Is the manager actually the bigger anime fan? 03:37 The verdict: sorry Adrian, there is no solution 06:51 The first dilemma we could not solve 07:05 Talking point: is it too hard to keep up with tech? 07:23 Go at your own pace, nobody needs an AI fridge 08:52 Blockbuster to Netflix: what complacency costs 09:16 3D TVs and the tech that came and went 10:11 The Roomba is the best adult purchase ever 12:08 What about AI, and how far do you actually need to go 15:02 Obsolete iPhones, security risk and the upgrade trap 16:47 Buying on FOMO and buying what your friends have 19:48 You cannot keep up, and that is fine 20:40 Photography, old tech and what actually enhances your life 21:26 When work forces the new tech on you 22:02 Let's build the Nani Talks Fun House 22:31 Plushies, a comfy sofa and Joey's snack setup 23:17 Nanoleafs, the NES, the Mega Drive and the 90s setup 24:15 Is the room for you or for everyone else? 25:33 Comfort or pride: what the collection actually does 26:37 The Shenron piece, the Obito mask and plasterboard fear 28:14 Straw Hats in the room, and why Hisoka is not invited GUEST Joey's Fun House YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC24zcu9DnWbFSRaPA3XBU_Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeysfunhouse TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joeysfunhouse Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4e8opWGsP5Yvc80ThFWoMW Nani Talks Produced by Naniverse. #NaniTalks #JoeGrind #OnePiece TC The Vision: http://instagram.com/tcthevision The Quantum One: http://instagram.com/the_quantum_one Slick: http://instagram.com/slickcrafted Junior: http://instagram.com/juniorox_ Tun3s: http://instagram.com/_stay_tun3d Jazzy: http://instagram.com/_jazmine4 Producer | Director: http://instagram.com/theblackkstar Sound Design: http://instagram.com/kayper.d.w Visual Architect:  http://instagram.com/tcthevision

    How One Piece Saved His Life | Joe Grind | Nani Talks Episode 15

    Joe Grind swapped the studio for the sofa, and anime is the reason why. This week we sat down with Joe Grind, the rapper turned creator behind Joey's Fun House, the gaming and anime channel he built out of his own front room. We got into how he moved from gangster rap into anime and gaming content, why letting go of the old music process felt free, and how shows like One Piece, Naruto and X-Men rewired the way he sees himself, his family and his mistakes. It goes deep: victim mentality versus ownership, being a nerd who had to be a lion growing up in Peckham, raising kids who know exactly what they love, and finding your own lane out of anyone's shadow. Real talk about growth, wrapped in the shows we all love. CHAPTERS 00:00 It's Joe Grind, not Joe Grant: the name debate 02:16 Joe Grind the man vs Joey's Fun House the IP 03:00 Leaving the rap grind: why making content felt free 04:40 The gift and the curse of doing everything yourself 05:08 "You don't quit music": COVID and the last album 05:53 Lockdown, Naruto, and craving deeper conversations 06:47 Joey's Game and Tech, and talking Invincible with Giggs 08:58 Being yourself when the mandem don't get it 11:02 A nerd who had to be a lion in Peckham 12:16 Star Wars vs Harry Potter, and reading power 14:38 Why One Piece and Tokyo Revengers hit different 15:56 How X-Men taught him Martin Luther King vs Malcolm X 16:34 The GOAT debate and defending Batman 20:52 The greatest villain, and the "as a Black man" question 26:20 How Naruto saved his life 29:31 What Luffy taught him about accountability 36:15 "You don't wait for people": the content mindset 47:33 Inside Joey's Fun House and building with Naniverse GUEST Joey's Fun House YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC24zcu9DnWbFSRaPA3XBU_Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeysfunhouse TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joeysfunhouse Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4e8opWGsP5Yvc80ThFWoMW Nani Talks Produced by Naniverse. #NaniTalks #JoeGrind #OnePiece  TC The Vision: http://instagram.com/tcthevision The Quantum One: http://instagram.com/the_quantum_one Slick: http://instagram.com/slickcrafted Junior: http://instagram.com/juniorox_ Tun3s: http://instagram.com/_stay_tun3d Jazzy: http://instagram.com/_jazmine4 Producer | Director: http://instagram.com/theblackkstar Sound Design: http://instagram.com/kayper.d.w Visual Architect: http://instagram.com/tcthevision

    Which Anime Character Has The Most Drip? The What List ft. MNMLST | Nani Talks Ep 14.4

    Anime recommendations, one all time fight scene claim, and a drip debate that runs the whole wardrobe. It is the What List. We sat back down with the MNMLST founders to run through what everyone is actually watching right now. The One Piece live action pulls off a rewatch, the lore goes deep into Joy Boy and the Void Century, and one JJK fight gets called the greatest fight scene in anime, period. We hand out warnings for the do not watch list, put respect on Kagurabachi and Frieren, and Slick pulls back the curtain on the Naniverse.io original IP, artwork and all. Then the only question that matters: which anime character has the most drip?

    Nani Headz: The Ultimate Anime Guessing Game ft. MNMLST | Nani Talks | Episode 14.3

    MNMLST are back, but this time there is no honour, only points. We strap the founders into Nani Headz, our anime guessing game: one card on the head, one clue at a time, and a scoreboard the judges keep changing mid round. Zoro's honour, Nico Robin's bounty, Muzan's demon sister, Astro Boy and a Beerus recount all make an appearance, plus a tie breaker, a shouting match with the ref, and a "best wife of all time" debate that nearly ends a friendship. This is Nani Talks, the only anime podcast from the culture.

    Is Anime Streetwear Dying? Too Old For Anime Hoodies | MNMLST | Nani Talks Ep 14.2

    A 40 year old gets told he is too old for anime hoodies and resin statues. So we put it to the mandem: change your lifestyle, or change your girl? We sat down with the founders of MNMLST, Jabir and Raihan, to settle whether anime streetwear is actually dying, where the line sits between a cash grab and genuinely promoting anime, and what Pokemon on a t-shirt really says about the culture. Then it turns deep: what honour actually means, read through Naruto, Itachi, Obito and a Vinland Saga moment that stuck with the room. This is Nani Talks, the only anime podcast from the culture. CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome and who is in the building 00:29 The Anime Dilemma: too old for anime hoodies? 02:34 Change your lifestyle or change your girl? 03:47 Does age kill it?

    Building an Anime Streetwear Brand From £1K | MNMLST | Nani Talks Episode 14.1

    Anime merch used to mean slapping a loud character on a tee. MNMLST is rewriting that. In this episode of Nani Talks, the only anime podcast from the culture, we sit down with Jabz and Raihan, the two founders behind MNMLST: an anime-inspired streetwear brand built out of Camden, North London. They started with about a thousand pounds each, no investor, no safety net, just two anime fans who wanted to wear their love for the culture without it feeling cringe. We get into the real stuff: turning an idea into an actual clothing brand, designing faith-consciously (why their characters often have closed eyes and why iconography beats big graphics), the line between fashion and merch, what it really costs to license anime IP, how a garment is actually manufactured, and giving back through the Liberation Collection and youth workshops in Camden. If you have ever thought about starting a brand, or you just love anime fashion done properly, this one is for you. CHAPTERS  00:00 Who makes the best anime streetwear? 00:55 From idea to a real clothing brand 01:59 MNMLST origin story: two guys, a dream, £1K each 04:59 What the name means: if you know, you know 05:58 Faith and design: why the eyes stay closed 08:21 What sets MNMLST apart from cringe anime merch 10:38 Inside the design process 13:13 Fashion vs merch: "we're a brand, not merch" 13:32 Streetwear now, high fashion later 13:58 Camden roots and London style 15:55 Giving back: the Liberation Collection and youth workshop 18:19 Clothing as Nakama: community and meaning 20:46 Licensing anime IP: can you, and what does it cost? 23:38 Manufacturing: building a garment from scratch 29:52 IP clearance and copyright: what you can and can't do 32:57 The business reality, and why they do it 35:39 What's next: drops, the Varsity jacket, One Piece summer 37:08 Partners, support and the entrepreneur's lifestyle SHOP MNMLST Website: https://mnmlst.co.uk TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@officialmnmlst Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialmnmlst/ (MNMLST = "minimalist" without the vowels) LISTEN TO NANI TALKS New episodes every Monday at 7:30pm.

    In this episode, the table gets into One Piece moving seasonal, why classic 80s and 90s anime is getting harder to find, whether live-action anime can actually work, and the bigger conversation around AI in anime. Is AI just a tool for creators, or does it risk replacing the creative friction that makes great stories feel human?
