On todays episode Sam and Charlie are joined by very special guest Andrew Levins to dive into the fascinating history and legacy of iconic mangaka Osamu Tezuka.
Known as the "godfather of manga" Tezuka is the creator for some of the most famous and recognisable characters of all time including Astro Boy.

There is a lot of great new anime airing right now! We talk through our favourites of the current season, Fall 2024. While Dandadan steals the spotlight, we've found a mature favourite in Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, while Ranma ½ delivers one of the best remakes we've seen in a long time. The much anticipated Uzumaki and Blue Lock series have both seen some disappointing quality drops in their seconds episodes too. What have you been watching this season?
