There’s never a dull moment in the world of anime and Pop Break is diving right into the action! Join anime enthusiasts Amanda Rivas and Josh Sarnecky as they geek out monthly with dedicated experts and special guests on exciting anime news, trending anime in TV and/or movies, and anime recommendations spanning different genres that everyone should be watching. If you are a lifelong anime lover or taking the initial leap into the genre that has something for everyone, this is the podcast for you!
Come with us if you want to live! Because this month Josh and Amanda are joined by the cohosts of the Media/Lit Podcast, Randy Allain and Kris Ingersoll to discuss this month’s feature review section.
Our enthusiasts take a stroll through the anime content minds to discuss favorite series they’ve been watching recently, including Kris’s recommendation of Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure, Josh’s recommendation of the previously discussed Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Cour 2 through a new lens, and Amanda’s recommendation of Hellsing Ultimate. Randy shares his recommendation of The Owl House and gives a wonderful breakdown of how his second recommendation of Hailey’s On It would fit the anime genre. Randy and Kris’s recommendations are found on Disney +, Josh’s on Disney +/Hulu, and Amanda’s on Crunchyroll.
In Anime News this month, they review the teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Netflix animated Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft set to release on October 10th.
In their feature review section, our enthusiasts discuss Terminator Zero, Netflix’s surprise hit anime taking place in Japan during the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. They discuss their overall feelings on the series, the storylines they enjoyed best, voice cast performances, the cultural differences between this anime and the Terminator franchise films given the different location, what worked and what did not, and whether they want a Season 2.
Stay tuned next month as our cohosts and their guests discuss Akira Toriyama’s final project: Dragon Ball Daima!
