  • Great stories follow characters (both good and bad) as they pursue their dreams and ideals, and many of our favorite anime characters have big dreams, whether it’s simply to be the strongest there ever was, to play a sport really good, or even to become, let’s say, the king of pirates.

    For this episode of the MANA (Manga Anime Netflix Adaptation) Podcast, Matt sits down with Juju Green (AKA Straw Hat Goofy) to talk about all the ways the pursuit of dreams play a role in their favorite anime, which anime dreams are played out, and why villains might actually have the best dreams.

  • If you’re a fan of anime, then you’re probably familiar with the Japanese term Nakama, which means friend, colleague, or compatriot (but really means so much more). For many of our favorite Anime shows, Nakama is the core of our heroes’ power, allowing them to harness the power of friendship to overcome any and all obstacles.

    For this episode of the MANA (Manga Anime Netflix Adaptation) Podcast, Matt invites actor Adelaide Kane (Reign, Grey’s Anatomy) to discuss Nakama in anime and how she applies the power of friendship in her real life as well as who would make up her own nakama dream team.
