The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 114: 2022 Year in Review with Zee & MDi

Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!

2022 is just about over! So you know what that means–that’s right, it’s the Year in Review! And much like Krampus, Zee is back for the first part of the episode to discuss the results of my annual year-end survey as filled out by you, the listeners! And for the last stretch of the episode, the Artist Formally Known As Nitro, aka MDi, is passed the baton to help finish the discussion. What older anime titles were you excited to buy (sometimes again) this year, and what titles are you looking forward to coming out in 2023? We also talk about all the memorable news stories from throughout this long, seemingly never-ending year. Hear all the silliness, strangeness, sadness, and stress of this year; PLUS the winners of the survey giveaway in this extra long, nearly 4-hour long episode. Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 113: Creative Conversations with Abby Denson

Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!

This month, we’re returning to my Creative Conversations series! In these episodes, I talk to people in various creative fields making things today who were greatly inspired by anime & manga, and are using that inspiration today to make their own cool things. This time, we’re talking to comic artist, illustrator, and comic author Abby Denson! A longtime manga reader, Abby’s been making comics since her self-published days, and continues that DIY spirit with her latest series Kitty Sweet Tooth with Japanese artist Utomaru. Listen as we discuss her ‘90s zine roots, how BL inspired one of her early comics, and what it was like to table at Comiket in ‘97, along with answering your questions!
