Anime Series for Halloween

Anime Series for Halloween

It's that time of year, when all the ghouls dance merrily through the land spreading terror.  Election season?  No, silly - Halloween!  And while you won't be trick-or-treating or partying this year (we hope) you can at least settle down with Notaku as Enzo and Setsuken share their Halloween anime favorites.  Plus, our favorite scary movies and spookiest personal experiences.  As usual, we have industry news, listener questions, haiku, and a manga recommendation with a Halloween theme.  

This week is a special one for the podcast, because we've launched our first listener survey.  It can be found at https://notaku.typeform.com/to/BVbax3uQ and shouldn't take more than 3-5 minutes to complete.  We'd be grateful if you share your feedback as we consider the next phase for Notaku.

Gatekeepers to Mediocrity

Gatekeepers to Mediocrity

Guardian Enzo and Setsuken are back solving (or at least calling out) the problems facing anime.  This time we talk about a few non-anime things we're watching, and a new feature to our news segment, and discuss whether "gatekeepers" exist in the anime fandom (and what role they play).  Plus a manga recommendation, a little off-the-cuff-poetry, and a question about series we loved in spite of the visuals.  

Please make sure and join us next week for our very special Fall Season Preview episode!  If you have anything you'd like us to answer or discuss related to the fall season, please let us know.
