And there came a time when Ian finally found the opportunity to release recordings made at recent conventions. That time is indeed today! Depending on your definition of recent, that is. First, we flash back to last year's Anime NYC, just in time for this year's Anime NYC, as Ian interviews manga translator for books such as Cat + Gamer and Marvel's Demon Wars, writer and beer buddy, Zack Davisson, as well as artist Robert Wilson IV from Oni Press' Heartthrob, Vault's Barbaric: The Harvest Blades, Bitch Planet issue 3, and a bunch of posters for bands such as Metallica and Weird Al! We then flash forward to New York Comic Con 2023, as Ian runs through his experiences at the convention, followed by convo on the floor with Donovan Morgan Grant and artist and creator extraordinaire, Mr. Jamal Igle. This includes discussion of The Harvey Awards, the existence of Death Note: The Musical, attending the Steve Ditko panel on a whim, and so much more. (1:28:32)

Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!In February of 2023, we learned that we lost an icon of not just manga and anime, but a pillar of otaku fandom as we know it: Leiji Matsumoto. And so this month, we celebrated him and his beautiful Leijiverse by having a fan-made Memorial Livestream. For those that missed out on it, this is the audio from said livestream, in handy podcast form! The first part of the stream I was joined by Leiji Matsumoto translator and superfan, Zack Davisson, as we give some background on Matsumoto's live and work. After that, I reached out to the Leijiverse fandom to get audio and written submissions on not only how Matsumoto's work touched our hearts, but also significantly changed some of our lives. Get those tissues ready, because there's sure to be some tears shed in this heartfelt, extra-long episode!Stream the episode above or [Direct Download]Subscribe on apple podcasts | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | SpotifySpecial thanks to everyone who submitted audio & written contributions for this stream!

A Zoo in Winter by Jiro Taniguchi is an engrossing semi-autobiographical coming of age story about breaking into the manga industry. It's a one-volume manga that we warmly recommend. In this episode, we talk a bit about Taniguchi's work and our familiarity with him before going into our book discussion. This is an excellent comic that we hope you check out! It's another episode for our #mangamenagerie! The Taniguchi obituary written by Zack Davisson and published on The Comics Journal website, which is referenced in our episode, can be found here: https://www.tcj.com/jiro-taniguchi-1947-2017/ Thanks again to Corey J.

We shout irasshai!! to translator, writer, and hardcore yokai fan Zack Davisson as he joins the Popzara Podcast to chat about his English translation of manga master Shigeru Mizuki's illustrated version of Kunio Yanagita's Tono Monogatari, perhaps the most important – and certainly most popular – text on the history of Japan's considerable monsters, myths, and legends. But that's not all: Popzara favorite Kevin, from YouTube's StoryDive, gets a welcoming tadaima!! as joins our own Nathan Evans and Zack on a highly educational (and highly entertaining) look at what it was like helping bring one of Japan's most popular historians (comic or otherwise) to a wider audience, being called a modern Lafcadio Hearn, and the pressures of creating the first English translation of Mizuki's mammoth Showa: A History of Japan.
