Music brings people together. With anime, this takes on a whole new aspect. Rather than the power systems and fighting styles popularised in shonen anime, these series use music to tell their story. Whether it's a band coming together or a solo artist finding their voice, characters in music anime explore coming of age and finding community in a way that's uniquely relatable to real life.

In this episode of Gateway to Anime we talk about (in our opinion) underrated anime, that have either been somewhat forgotten through the passage of time, or simply not given the credit they deserve amongst the community.
With an arbitrary criteria implemented (from MAL ranking and popularity scores) the gang go through shows they think are underrated and deserve more credit.
You might just find your next favorite hidden gem!

This week we're talking about all things anime power systems. Shonen anime is basically synonymous with intricate and sometimes ridiculous power systems that govern their respective world's. We break down some of our favorite power systems from Naruto, One Piece and Hunter x Hunter as well as some of the more ludicrous ones like Jujutsu kaisen and Fire Force.
We also talk through the connection between power systems and martial arts as well as which power system we'd most like to be apart of.

This week we chat with friend Kieran Clancy-Lowe about the ultimate gateway anime; Dragon Ball Z. Kieran is a massive fan of the Dragon Ball series and goes deep on the history, storytelling, impact and overall brilliance of the absolute game changing phenomenon that is the Dragon Ball universe.
Kieran re-watched all 291(ish) Dragon Ball Z episodes in preparation for this podcast, so he really brings the thunder as Sam, Charlie and Graeme get their nostalgia fix.

We couldn't be more excited to start a whole new season of anime and this fall season is shaping up to be a real hit.
It's a versatile season of huge sequels (JJK, Tokyo Revengers, Attack on Titan and Dr Stone) along with some hugely anticipated smash hit manga adaptations (Frieren & Undead Unluck)

This week we have one of the co-hosts of Charlie's other podcast, Supporting Cast, Seamus Quinn on to talk about all things Jujutsu Kaisen.
Seamus is a massive fan of JJK so we talk about why we all love the show, what makes it special, interesting, different and (to all of us except Graeme) the best of the dark trio.
Somewhere along the line we segue into talking about Boruto for way longer than any of us anticipated, plus Seamus shares some of his anime hot-takes.
