On this episode of 'All Things Nerdy,' we're thrilled to welcome a very special guest, Joe, one of the cohosts of "The Spirit Hunters" and a big fan of old-school anime and manga.
Cel-animated anime that predate streaming and oftentimes even Toonami, while more available than ever, have lost much of their centrality in American anime discourse despite often being inherently more influential than flavor-of-the-month zeitgeist shows. Oftentimes this has less to do with the inherent quality of the shows themselves and more to do with recency bias, manufactured tastes and a lack of historical context.
While this ep won't pretend to go back to the beginning of anime, we'll discuss some "[not too] hidden gems" and how you, someone born long after they finished, can learn to enjoy older series and anime history.
