    Neat idea but are there really enough Netflix anime adaptations to support a podcast about it.

      So far they are talking about manga in general. The first episode is about Shōnen for example One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, and a bunch of others I didn't know. They also mention stuff like Sailor Moon that Matt Owen liked when he was younger.

      I watched the first season on Prime Video a few years ago but I didn't notice any issues with the subtitles back then. Netflix and Crunchyroll has it too now, if you have either you could compare...
