August Issue — Is This Anime/Manga Season Any Good?
Is this the new golden age of anime and manga, or are we just getting older and yelling at the clouds?
In this episode of August Issue, we compare two generations of otaku culture: the boomer manga readers who grew up on the classics and the zoomer anime watchers discovering today’s biggest series.
From Re:Zero Season 4 and the latest wave of seasonal anime to new-generation shounen, manga culture, and the sheer amount of anime and manga worth arguing about, this episode asks the important question:
Is this anime/manga season actually good… or is the peak comedy the discourse surrounding it?
We also get into Ichi the Witch, the potential of the next generation of shounen, the difference between reading manga and watching anime, and why older fans and younger fans can have very different ideas about what makes a series great.
