Podcasts about bomber d rufi

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, we invite on the show Shonen Sunday enthusiast Bomber D. Rufi (aka Sakaki) and comics artist Joey Weiser (Mermin, Ghost Hog) to talk about Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga! After many delays and and much rescheduling, Colton and Lum finally talk about the series that means more to them then just being an excellent comic, but a franchise that's been with them for almost their entire lives! A franchise that went from being the biggest manga in Japan, to one of the biggest shows on Cartoon Network in North America years later, to one of the biggest multimedia empires arguably within the past decade introducing tons of new manga, anime, video games, etc. to further expand upon Toriyama's beloved "Dragon World". The Mavericks and friends spend a some time reminiscing about how they got into the series via airings on Toonami and even fansub VHS tapes, afterwards they attempt to go through the entire series arc-by-arc in order to thoroughly discuss anything and everything they can about it, such as which parts of the story are their favorites, as well certain problematic elements that have become more unavoidable and harder to ignore as we've grown older. Can our heroes cover the entirety of the series before the end of the podcast!? Find out...on DRAGON BALL Z!!! I mean, Manga Mavericks....enjoy.

Its time for Part 2 of our 100th episode! This next half of the episode was originally meant to be the *ending* segment after our previous piracy discussion, where we invited both Bomber D. Rufi (aka Sakaki) and Maxy Barnard (who couldn't make it so we found [redacted]) to come on to discuss the results of our short run survey asking fans about their favorite episodes of the podcast, instead it turned into a 2 hour retrospective where we talked about not only what we like and enjoy about Manga Mavericks, but what we've managed to accomplish so far and just how the show has affected us and really changed our lives! Its a true celebration and we hope you join us for it! Special thanks to everyone who has listened to the show up to this point, as well as everyone who has ever come on the show! You guys are the ones who have made this show possible and we can't for at least another 100 more! Also, stay tuned after the retrospective for a little more discussion of scanlation and piracy, as we go over some of the feedback we've gotten for last week's episode from both Twitter and our emails!

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton has a lot of news and manga to cover, but with the help of his conveniently newfound podcast hosting powers, he won't have to go at it alone! First he enlists the help of Shonen Sunday enthusiast, Bomber D. Rufi (@kiirobon), in order to not just tackle whatever news they could at the time, but also cover all of the new one shots now available on the Shonen Jump app and website from well known artists such as Boichi, Yusuke Murata and Yusei Matsui! Join our heroes as they tackle such exciting news stories including the overwhelmingly huge wave of new Boys Love manga that have arrived on the market through futekiya and other publishers, SOZO Comics licensing new series from their humble beginnings to be read on Comixology, as well as the most taxing challenge in all of manga fandom: Kodansha USA licensing new shojo manga when one of them is actually from a shonen magazine!!! (Disclaimer: Labels don't actually matter, but this is also the internet we're talking about) After Colton and Bomber exhaust themselves with the news, Colton summons his faithful friends, co-host LumRanmaYasha and Maxy Barnard from Friendship Effort Victory, to tackle not just the latest Black Clover and We Never Learn popularity polls, but what also might be some of the most controversial new series to come out of Manga Plus: Hina Change and Dear Sa-chan! Both of the these new simulpubs are...challenging to say the least! Both of which tackling controversial subject matter that may be too much for some people, but not the Mavericks! Find out how they feel about these and all the rest of the new manga that have come out in the past month, on this, the latest episode of the podcast! Enjoy!!

For this episode of Manga Mavericks, the part of Sid will played by both Maxy Barnard and Bomber D Rufi, as Sid had this thing called “school” to focus on until he is finally finished with that and is ready to get back to slaving away at all the unfinished podcasts he still has to edit. Anyway, while Sid is off on his own ventures, Colton takes care of the show this week and covers the news with the help of Shonen Sunday fanatic, Bomber D Rufi (@kiirobon), as they talk about the usual new upcoming manga serials, licenses and live action films! Some highlights include a list of the biggest first printings from the biggest manga publishers within the last year, Viz Media licensing of Dragon Ball: That Time I Was Reincarnated as Yamcha, as well as some new info about Hiro Mashima’s upcoming new series! Afterwards, Maxy Barnard (@MaxyTheBee) from Friendship! Effort! Victory!, joins the show to discuss and dissect Takamagahara from Jyuuzou Kawai. Another prematurely ending Shonen Jump manga that ran simultaneously in English and Japanese via Viz Media before the era of Jump Starts! Colton and Maxy discuss how they feel about the series in relation to its many unexplored ideas and themes that were shadowed by both some less than stellar storytelling and various production issues behind the scenes. Next episode, we’ll be discussing our thoughts on Viz’s latest round of Jump Starts, as well two recent one shots from both Hiroshi Shiibashi (Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan) and Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro (Toriko). Sid’s Note: As of this post I am hopefully finished with the bulk of my academic obligations. I had hoped to never miss an episode, but alas it was an unavoidable inevitability considering my workload this semester. Sadly, the last few weeks have been highly traumatic and stressful, but hopefully this ordeal is all over with and I can return to the podcast unburdened. I must extend a huge thanks to the wonderful Maxy Barnard and Bomber D Rufi for covering for me this week. They are always a delight to listen to, and I’m looking forward to personally talking with them again in future shows. I’m also very grateful to Colton for creating this week’s thumbnail and writing up this post and the podcast breakdown, tasks I normally do but simply did not have time for this week. You guys are great friends and I’m very thankful this podcast has allowed me to meet all of you. I’m looking forward to continuing doing more projects with you all! And on the subject of all those unedited episodes of Manga Mavericks @ Movies…well, I can’t concretely confirm that they’ll be coming closely, but MAYbe. ;) PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 0:00 - Intro 04:20 - Monthly Bookscan March List 07:46 - Biggest 1st Printing from the Big 3 Publishers 24:04 - Chiho Saito previews new manga 25:16 - Orange's Ichigo Takano Launches New Manga on April 25 26:38 - Shinobu Ohtaka launches new manga in Weekly Shonen Magazine 31:05 - Hiroshi Fukuda launches new manga on April 25th 35:27 - Akame ga Kill artist to launch new series 36:21 - Satoshi Mizukami launches 'Planet With' Anime/Manga 42:22 - Updates on Hiro Mashima’s New Series 47:26 - Bozebeats ends in Issue 20 of Shonen Jump 52:38 - Juni Taisen to end in 4th volume 56:02 - Everyone's Getting Married Manga Ends on May 8 56:33 - D.N.Angel Manga Annoucned to Return 1:01:23 - Welcome to the Ballroom continues its hiatus 1:04:53 - Naruto gets new 3-novel book series 1:06:39 - Listing for After The Rain from Vertical on Amazon 1:07:40 - Vertical’s Anime Boston Licenses 1:11:27 - Yen Press Anime Boston Licenses 1:18:27 - Viz Media Anime Boston Licenses 1:27:08 - J-Novel Club licenses Mari Okada’s autobiography 1:27:38 - Dark Horse Comics to release Eromanga-sensei 1:29:12 - Dark Horse Licenses Danganronpa 2: Ultimate Luck and Hope and Despair Manga 1:29:34 - Udon to Launch Otherwordly Izakaya Nobu Manga in September 2018 1:30:33 - One Peace Books Licenses Hinamatsuri and others 1:33:12 - Nisekoi Live Action Movie coming this December 1:35:12 - Kingdom gets Live Action Movie 1:36:48 - Takamagahara Discussion /w Maxy Barnard 2:43:35 - Wrap Up Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @manga_mavericks, on tumblr at mangamavericks.tumblr.com, and on our Youtube channel!

Next episode, we’ll be discussing our thoughts on Viz’s latest round of Jump Starts, as well two recent one shots from both Hiroshi Shiibashi (Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan) and Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro (Toriko). Sid’s Note: As of this post I am hopefully finished with the bulk of my academic obligations. I had hoped to never miss an episode, but alas it was an unavoidable inevitability considering my workload this semester. Sadly, the last few weeks have been highly traumatic and stressful, but hopefully this ordeal is all over with and I can return to the podcast unburdened. I must extend a huge thanks to the wonderful Maxy Barnard and Bomber D Rufi for covering for me this week. They are always a delight to listen to, and I’m looking forward to personally talking with them again in future shows. I’m also very grateful to Colton for creating this week’s thumbnail and writing up this post and the podcast breakdown, tasks I normally do but simply did not have time for this week. You guys are great friends and I’m very thankful this podcast has allowed me to meet all of you. I’m looking forward to continuing doing more projects with you all!

Hey, I technically got this up on Sunday, right? Ah, I suppose it doesn't matter if you're not listening to this episode on the day it was posted anyway. Sorry for the delay, but the rough audio for this episode was over four hours long and I had to edit it instead of Colton. But hopefully because this is such a long - and stuffed - episode it was well worth the wait! That's right, our long awaited Weekly Shonen Sunday episode is finally here! We're joined by returning guest and good friends Bomber D Rufi, who recently started a blog dedicated to recapping each new issue of the oft underappreciated magazine. We cover several of Sunday's current hits and other underlooked gems in the lineup, as well as some of the most notable mangaka working for the imprint! To top it off, we answer two of the most pressing questions when it comes to Shonen Sunday: why is it so unpopular compared to Shonen Jump, and why the hell was Keijo!!!!!!!! even a thing?!!!!!!!! But that's not all! We've got our regular news coverage to go over, running down series that have ended or are ending soon and some exciting new licenses courtesy of Kodansha USA. Plus, we discuss the latest two Jump Starts, Demon Prince Poro's Diaries and Hungry Marie! Do these two new comedies bring some fresh humor to Jump's lineup, or are their jokes as stale and stagnant as Keijo!!!!!!!!'s sales? Why not spend your next lazy Sunday afternoon listening to this podcast and find out!
