PortraitMasomah Ali Zada est une jeune cycliste afghane de 24 ans ayant grandi entre l’Iran et Kaboul, des pays où être femme et sportive est synonyme de brimade, d’harcèlement voir de menace de mort. Contrainte de quitter l’Afghanistan pour poursuivre sa passion, elle saisit l’opportunité de s’exiler en France et d’y obtenir le droit d’asile en 2016. Aujourd’hui installée en Bretagne, Masomah continue à s’entraîner sans relâche pour, peut-être, participer aux Jeux Olympiques de Tokyo 2020.Jeanne Lacaille nous raconte l’histoire de cette jeune femme toujours en mouvement, par passion oui, mais aussi par contrainte.MusikactuUn Musikactu entre Japon et Caraïbes avec l’histoire de l’esclavage jamais bien loin. François Dayre vous raconte l’histoire du samouraï noir Yasuke, ancien esclave africain ayant servi au côté du seigneur de guerre japonais Oda Nobunaga au XVIème siècle. Cette histoire a été récemment mise à l’honneur par une série animée américano-japonaise réalisée par LeSean Thomas et disponible sur Netflix. Une très belle bande-son, qui oscille entre hip-hop, jazz, synthwave et musique traditionnelle japonaise et réunit plusieurs guests de marque, est signée par le DJ et producteur américain Flying Lotus.Autre escale entre Trinidad et Londres, avec le huitième album Karib-jazz du poète et musicien Anthony Joseph, “The Rich are only defeated when running for their lives” (Heavenly Sweetness) et son single “Swing Praxis”. Au fil des morceaux, il rend hommage à plusieurs personnages, comme à Malcom X, au poète barbadien Kamau Brathwaite dans le morceau “Kamau”, ou encore au poète jamaïcain Anthony McNeil dans “Language”, et il revient également sur sa situation ambigüe de poète trinidadien en Angleterre, le pays des colons, qu’il considère désormais comme son “home”, son chez-lui. Le “Swing” du titre, genre de jazz mais aussi verbe anglais signifiant “balancer, osciller”, devient la métaphore du mouvement des noirs dans le monde, de leur lutte et de la révolution en cours.Pour citer les derniers mots du morceau : Swingas method.As action.As rubric.As Heritage.As a black and combative orchestra Swing as a template for revolution.D’ici et d’ailleursQuand Néo Géo rime avec Grand reportage, in situ, comme nous avons aimé lé faire depuis la création de la radio , c’est , depuis septembre dernier , à travers les yeux, les oreilles , le micro d’Isadora Dartial qui a pu effectuer avec le soutien de L’institut francais et des instituts du Ghana, De belgique de roumanie et du liban , une belle ronde radiophonique autour du monde, en prenant le pouls à chaque fois de la scène culturelle et sociale des lieux traversés ; le dernier en date , que vous pouvez écouter sur Nova.fr fut le Liban et plus particulièrement Beyrouth sa capitale où malgré tous les problèmes politiques et économiques les artistes ne baissent pas les bras .

On this episode of Lala's Land (sponsored by Heckler's Handiwork) Lala learns about Zeolist's Fuckening and more.  On this episode of The Gotham Press Podcast, we skip some geek to dive right into the deep end of the tentacle kink pool. Don't worry though kids, we circle back around to it later on.  After about 45 minutes of tentacle excitement we move on to talking about the new Venom: Let There Be Carnage trailer. But then we also realize that tentacles are represented in the Venom universe as well.  Lala thinks Tom Hardy is a football player and breaks Thief's heart a little.  Yasuke, the Legendary Black Samurai Behind Netflix’s New Anime Series Yasuke was a real-life Black samurai who served under Oda Nobunaga, one of the most important feudal lords in Japanese history and a unifier of the country. He is also the inspiration for Netflix’s new anime series Yasuke—a project from creator and director LeSean Thomas and the Japanese animation studio MAPPA, executive produced by LaKeith Stanfield, who voices Yasuke, and Flying Lotus, who produced the soundtrack.  We saved this specifically for Zeolist but we talk about the League of Legend’s first animated series coming to Netflix. League of Legends: Arcane will hit the streaming service sometime later this fall. There is a trigger warning (suicide) coming up which I will warn you about while listening. The warning lasts from 1:04:31 until 1:06:27. We talk about the new red band trailer for Love Death + Robots that dropped online. We then talk about the Wednesday Meetup that took place and the enjoyment everyone seemed to have gotten from it. Don't forget, if you are local to the Bakersfield, California area, there will be a weekly in-person meet-up happening every Wednesday (for now).

On this episode of Otaku Summit, Steve, Chaos, and Jojo announce the video version of the podcast coming to the GI Patreon and a few more exciting improvements coming soon. Chaos binge-watches season 1 of Meglobox with the announcement and trailer out for the new season coming next month. He gives his thoughts on the 1st season and talks about how he enjoyed it more because he was able to binge it. Netflix has had its struggles when it comes to anime but people are excited about their Yasuke anime by LeSean Thomas. Yasuke will be played by Lakeith Stanfield and the soundtrack by Flying Lotus which has people really hyped about this certain project. The anime will be based on the first black samurai and we got to see the first look of the anime by screenshots being released giving their thoughts on the look so far. They also talk about the My Hero Academia season 5 trailer and what they are excited about not only for season 5 but for the future of the anime due to the manga being really good right now. In the anime review section, They talk about Jujutsu Kaisen having their first okay episode which settles things down as the characters play some baseball. Episode 13 of Attack on Titan was full of intense moments that are a result of choices of the past still affecting characters now. Chaos tells Steve and Jojo the moment the season ends he will be reading Attack on Titan because we all know the story will continue after the season but we don't know how still. We hope you enjoy this episode and be ready for more things to come, Thank you for the support! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/otaku-summit/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/otaku-summit/support

Welcome to the second episode AND our first WB Episode! WB or BW? (Whichever floats your boat)  WB episodes are casual chat episodes that take a break away from the interviews discussing topics in animation and how they relate to black culture. On this episode we discuss anime that inspired us growing up and how it impacted our artwork. We also touch upon the unfortunate circumstance of racial stereotypes and minstrel looking characters in anime and while it may not be intentionally malicious it’s not okay to have designs that are rooted in negative characterization.  Can’t forget to bring up the boondocks as well, and how artists like Aaron Mcgruder and LeSean Thomas were part of the wave of Ameri-anime that paved the way for young black artist.

The crowd at the Cannon Busters premiere at Otakon. Evan, Clarissa, Gerald, and Daryl are up in front. Evan and David went to Otakon 2016, but David got an early train out of town, so Evan had to settle for a huge supergroup of podcasters and bloggers in this post-Otakon show. Daryl Surat, Gerald Rathkolb, and Clarissa Graffeo from Anime World Order; Alain and Kate from the Reverse Thieves/Speakeasy; and Carl from Ogiue Maniax sit down to discuss their favorite and least favorite parts of Otakon 2016, and the future of the convention as it moves to Washington, DC in 2017. Topics include: accidentally winning eating contests, Koji Morimoto impersonators, and the presumed lowlight of the weekend, the GamerGate panel (“Politics in Video Games”).

Masao Maruyama (founder of Madhouse, head of MAPPA) and Jiro Ishii (writer and creator of Under the Dog) had to cancel at the last minute. Daryl references Erin Finnegan briefly. She’s one half of the now-dormant (and excellent) Ninja Consultant Podcast, but people might not recognize her since they’ve been gone for so long!
