Oh my god, they've killed Colton! Those b@st@rds! Wait...WhatwhatWHAT? Relax, guy. I'm not being seriously. He's fine. He dies in every episode! Inside. Because editing so many podcasts makes him want to suck Chef's chocolate salty balls. Last week he went insane and said "screw you guys, I'm going home." Last I heard he went off to hunt for ManBearPig with Al Gore in a quiet pissant mountain town. Don't know where he is now, but he's probably fighting the frizzies, at eleven. They mostly come o...

It's kinda crazy that Pokemon is more popular than ever internationally twenty years later. Pokemon Go was a phenomenon, the hype for Sun & Moon grows more and more like an Exeggutor every day, and there was a huge uproar over Ash losing his match with Alain in the finals of the Kalos League in the anime. With the games, anime, and manga all better than ever, this has been a great year to be a Pokemon fan! Heck, with this much vitality, Pokemon is sure to be going strong another 20 years! On...

Manga Mavericks might be a manga podcast, but that doesn't mean we don't enjoy comics from countries outside of japan! Be it manwha or bande dessinees, we believe that every comic in the world has the right to be loved (except for the really bad ones)! All-Comic.com is one of the few comic sites out there that shares the love for comics made around the world in equal capacity. That's why we're called All-Comic! Can't get more inclusive than that! I think it's time to start a movement. Equal righ...

Manga Mavericks was almost in a real crises this week folks. We normally record the show on Friday afternoons, but I was out on a trip during our regularly scheduled recording time, and Colton was too busy over the weekend to do the show on any other date. We had too options: either delay the show another week or two, or Colton getting someone to sub for me in my absence. Luckily, the man of the hour, esteemed anime podcaster extraordinaire Josh Dunham of Senpai Coast to Coast and Wave Motion Ca...

...And boy was it ever big! Lots of hot and exciting news came out of AE this year, and this week your titular mavericks, Colton and Sid, run down each juicy bit of licensing news and other cool stuff looming on the horizon. But that's not all! We also discuss some other fresh developments, from the revamped Shonen Jump website, to Kodansha re-licensing former Del Ray titles for digital distribution, and perhaps the biggest news of all, Bleach finally actually decisively definitively inexorably ...

It's been ten long episodes in the making, but the promised day has finally come! After weeks of saying we'd get around to it, we finally read Tokyo Ghoul! Well, okay, we didn't read the whole thing. I got through about half of it and Colton only read the first volume. So yeah, I know it might not exactly be what you were expecting or wanted, but the reality is we put everything into making this episode. We didn't try to kickstart it, or set up a Patreon for extra money. We put it all in. So, fo...

Wow, it's been a while huh? Almost a month! Man, you guys must have been devastated, going without hearing our pristine sexy voices for so long. Sobbing in a corner like Sugao from Shonen Ashibe and hugging your makeshift Colton and/or Sid body pillows tightly, impatiently tapping the refresh button hping, ever so desperately, for a new episode to load. But that episode never came. So you sat there, wallowing in a mess of piss and tears, eyes red from sleepless nights waiting, ears perked for an...

Felicitations! We're the Fast Food Fanatics! We run down all the latest news and gossip in the deliciously detrimental world of flash-fried quick eats! What's cooking this week? Well, your titular fanatics Colton and Sid are full of beans and keen as mustard to shoot the breeze on some rather fishy business, including McDonald's new chicken nuggets recipe, the consequences of California's controversial $15 dollar minimum wage, why you should never ever eat at a Burger King in Brooklyn, and Chik-...

The Skip Beat! Kickstarter was a success! Not only did it meet it's funding goal, but the stretch goal for a blu-ray release as well! This bodes very well for the future of crowd funding campaigns to fund other anime series that have been overlooked or were considered to be tough-sells by big-name licensors. Similarly, the Kimagure Orange Road Kickstarter is going swimmingly as well. When you think about it, it's already half-way there to reaching the goal required to get the series fully publis...

The new anime season is upon us, and I'm pretty satisfied by it so far. JoJo's and Ushio & Tora are back and better than ever, and My Hero Academia's much anticipated premiere was fairly solid. But can you believe just how many shows are coming out this season? Last I checked, we're getting around forty in total. That's crazy. I know the anime industry has to contract sometime, but every season it continues to put out more and more stuff. And of all of these new shows, how many stay memorabl...

Guys, we have to apologize. We totally forgot to mention all the new manga releases coming out in March on the last podcast! I know how disappointed you all must have been. I mean, how else were you guys supposed to know what's coming out? Look it up yourself? Outrageous! There, that should cover it. We'll remember to cover April's releases properly in the next episode! So with that out of the way, what's in store for the Manga Mavericks this week? Well, as usual, Colton and Sid have got the lat...

Anime Madness is starting up over at Rightstuf again, and this year I'm in it to win it! Sure, I lost miserably in the years before, but as they always say the third time's the charm, right? That said, I'm still mulling over my choices. I mean, Evangelion vs. One-Punch Man? A match-up like that could go either way! How can I possibly quantify and compare otakus obsessive love for two equally and insanely popular anime franchises? Well, leave that for me to worry about, because it's time for anot...

Welcome to the third installment of the Manga Mavericks podcast! And before you ask, no, we still don't have a catchphrase. Alas, it seems some things just aren't meant to be. We've made peace with that. Well, at least Colton has. Sid's kept up at night thinking about it. It haunts his dreams. But hey, who needs sleep when there's such a wide array of manga news and tidbits to discuss! Join your titular mavericks, Colton and Sid, as we give a rundown of the latest New York Times Best Selling Man...

Join Life Lessons: The Gintama Manga Cast's Colton and All-Comic's manga reviewer Siddharth for the inaugural episode of All-Comics' new manga podcast, Manga Mavericks! While there are plenty of great series in the world of manga ripe for discussion, we're operating a little differently than most manga podcasts out there. Instead of a review show where we tackle a new series each episode or a selection of series through every episode, we're going to focus on manga as both a medium and an industr...
