Episode 27 is here! We cover Bocchi the Rock! and We Are the Best!, two properties about girls forming rock bands

One is in Japan, the other is in Sweden, one is set today and the other is set in the 80s, but both are about teenage girls rocking out!

@nise_yoshimi Also have only read Noble House and Gai-Jin and not Tai- Pan so it was kind of weird seeing all the references

[PodCastle in the Sky @FlyingPodCastle]

@nise_yoshimi Would think he did most of that in King Rat. Funny thing is it's the first book of his Asian saga but one of the latest ones chronologically. Only saw the movie but maybe the book has an Easter egg with Anjin-san's descendants like Noble House

@nise_yoshimi Reminded that Argevollen had mechs but no planes and never explained why. Some fans had insane theories, remember one saying the setting was clearly a high gravity planet where everyone looks human

The show did have these neat frog mechs for jumping over the Maginot line

@nise_yoshimi Honestly, I've seen what lighthouse keepers get paid and boy is it terrible

@jonasGogogo @real_cm25 I actually don't, is it a big spoiler?

Japanese fans of The Lord of the Rings hated the subtitles for the first movie so much that they lobbied against it and sent complaints to Peter Jackson directly, until he said he would replace the writer for The Two Towers.

Lastly, Dance Till Tomorrow, romcom about a shiftless 20-something and the girl who was supposed to be a night stand who he somehow gets into a relationship with

Yeah it sounds pretty generic with the manic pixie dream girl thing but it's seriously quite good

[PodCastle in the Sky @FlyingPodCastle]

Realizing now I read a lot of manga, so many titles ppl named I'd either already read or it's on the list

[Manga Mogura RE (Anime & Manga News) @MangaMoguraRE]

What's the manga you are convinced no one but you read?

[PodCastle in the Sky @FlyingPodCastle]

Bambi and Her Pink Gun, about a gunslinger riding a convertible across the American Southwest

Kind of R. Crumb aesthetic meets manga

[PodCastle in the Sky @FlyingPodCastle]

Coo's World, existential story about a girl who may have started traveling to a bizarre dream world in her sleep after her brother dies

[PodCastle in the Sky @FlyingPodCastle]

@hartfreek @MangaMoguraRE It was so hilariously dumb

[PodCastle in the Sky @FlyingPodCastle]

@TeqIed @MangaMoguraRE Fret not, you are not alone
