Anime x Pop: Netflix Anime News Deep Dive, The Elusive Samurai: Tokiyuki, and My Deer Friend Nokatan

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!


This month they are joined by The Mad Scientist, The Shapeshifter
and Hybrid School of Wrestling graduate Arik Walker and rejoined
by The Founder of the Shika Movement, The Flamingo King Branden
Vice because their expertise was perfect for 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
Branden's recommendation of Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest
and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells, Arik's
recommendation of My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an
S-Rank Adventurer, Amanda's recommendation of The Magical Girl
and the Evil Lieutenant Used to be Archenemies, and Josh's
recommendation of Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can
Make You a Wizard?! All recommendations are currently available
on Crunchyroll.


In Anime News this month, they discuss the recent massive
leak from Netflix to include all episodes of Terminator
Zero, six episodes of Dandadan, Mononoke: The Movie, four
episodes of the Ranma 1/2 remake and more. 


In their feature review section, our enthusiasts discuss The
Elusive Samurai to include the main story, Tokiyuki as the main
character, their least and most favorite characters, and the
unique animation style this anime employs. In the second half of
this section, they put on their deer antlers, do the shika dance,
and discuss the bizarrely brilliant My Deer Friend Nokatan. They
talk about everyone's favorite deer-human hybrid Noko Shikanoko
and former delinquent Torako Koshi aka Koshitan, their favorite
pop culture references this anime makes, and even sing deer
songs. 


Stay tuned next month for a very special episode to celebrate
Anime x Pop's one year anniversary!
