Manga Mavericks is a podcast hosted by Colton and LumRanmaYasha dedicated to covering and discussing manga not just as a medium, but also as an industry!
WE’RE SEEING SPIRALS! After five long years, the highly anticipated anime adaptation of Junji Ito’s iconic horror manga Uzumaki is finally premiering on Adult Swim, and we got a chance to preview and review the first episode! With an ambitious production that spiraled out of control and was so cursed with delays that executive producer Jason DeMarco has joked that he’s “still seeing spirals,” did the show end up being just as cursed to watch, or does it break the curse of Adult Swim’s middling original anime by being as good as the manga it spiraled out of?
Join Lum and VLord on this special episode of Saturday Night Shoggy as they spin out their thoughts on the first episode of this new Shoggy anime that's actually airing on Saturday night! Listen to them encircle the show’s production, animation, adaptation, music, both the Japanese and English dub performances, and other topics whilst trying not to let their fascination with the spiral get them too sucked in!

On this special episode of Another Day, Another Adventure, Colton & Sakaki have a somewhat unorganized talk in order to get their feelings out about Toriyama's passing and ruminate on what his influence meant to both the world and their friendship.
On March 1st, 2024, Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball (amongst many other works), passed away at the age of 68, and the world is worse without him in it, but that won't stop us from celebrating his life and the legacy he left behind. This episode of the podcast contains the first ever discussion we ever recorded exclusively for our Patreon back in 2019. A discussion featuring our good friends, Sakaki (founder of Weekly Shogakukan Edition) and Maxy Barnard (Shonen Jump enthusiast and contributor to the Shonen Flop podcast), about That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha! A manga that you would be right to assume is one that's about how lame Yamcha is and why its so funny how lame he is, but really, it is a manga for Dragon Ball fans, by a Dragon Ball fan! Enjoy!
