Welcome to a brand new episode of the A3K Podcast, the official podcast of the A3K Network. I’m your host Sean Russell, executive producer and founder of anime3000.com. Joining us as usual, we have Jd Banks from the Manga Corner and Cody Baier from The Other side.
On today’s episode, Jd Banks explains why you’re a punk for watching Detroit Metal City, listeners submit more anime suggestions than our show can handle and Cody and Sean share platonic hugs and bro fists over bad puns, Shinichirō Watanabe and other anime goodness. All this and more on the A3K Podcast.
WHATCHA BEEN…
[00:01:31 – 00:22:30] Jd Banks is reading Detroit Metal City (DMC), much to the pleasure of Cody Baier. Sean delivers a pun that forces Cody to give him a platonic virtual man hug. Cody has been working in the coal mine and watching Space Dandy as usual. Sean trolls Cody by ripping the first three episodes of JoJo’s Bizarre adventure, prompting round two of Hunter x Hunter vs JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure war. Sean also professes his burgeoning appreciation for Kuroko’s Basketball. He also catches one episode of Golden Time.

Listen to the episode to find out who Jd and Cody picked as their mangaka.
I’d get Tatsuhiko Takimoto\Kengo Hanasawa (whic ever hasn’t killed themselves yet) to help me with the story. And I’d get Motoi Fuyukawa yo draw it for me. – Alex Valentine
I’m thinking either Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball) and Hiromi Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist). I’d lean towards Toriyama, because that’s the first uinique art style I latched onto. – Ken Junior
Naoki Urusawa. Not sure what kind of manga, but maybe a shonen manga solely to see how thought provoking he’d make it. – @PDotAlex
Reki Kawahara, if he fits the meaning of a Mangaka. Hope fully he would help me create another masterpiece like SAO! – @EruditoFollower
togashi and I would create a #theguild manga! – @ErrorMage_TyP0
Either Mashima or Oda – @JonDragneel_
Takehiko Inoue and Naoki Urasawa are my dudes. Depends on what we’re working on. – @EricIsntPunk
