About
Drama. The last few weeks in the anime and manga world have seen nothing but drama. More unfolding in the David Wald departure from Crunchyroll and the lack of updates from either sides. More schools are banning manga for ridiculous and, somewhat, racial reasons. Sony is planning to expand their ever-growing empire more with the potential acquisition of Kadokawa. Like I said, DRAMA! And in case you missed it all you have Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage here to bring you up to speed!Articles Cited in Episode:https://x.com/DavidWald_VA/status/1856020105064304747https://x.com/DavidWald_VA/status/1856089603951693838https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-11-16/assassination-classroom-manga-banned-in-south-carolina-school-district/.217950https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2024/09/01/why-was-manga-book-ban-removed-from-brevard-schools-for-no-real-reason-school-board/74999231007/https://otakuusamagazine.com/school-district-bans-assassination-classroom-after-mom-says-high-schoolers-brains-cant-handle-it/https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/sony-talks-buy-media-powerhouse-behind-elden-ring-sources-say-2024-11-19/https://www.gematsu.com/2024/11/reuters-sony-group-corporation-in-talks-to-acquire-kadokawa-corporationhttps://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOUC196Q00Z11C24A1000000/---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitter: BakacopodcastTwitch: FrankfurtterTikTok: @bakacopodcastInstagram: @bakacopodcastYouTube: @bakacopodcast---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection Hosted on Acast.
