The Power of Friendship Podcast: Episode 04 Shonen Anime and Manga
Hey dudes and dudettes, a few weeks ago I posted a link to my podcast The Power of Friendship. I just released an episode on shonen anime and manga and figured I've got this journal I should at least post something to it.
We cover shonen anime and manga clichés and genres. I think we did a better job than with the shojo podcast, maybe because we like shonen a lot more. A few examples of the topics we cover are, ‘turning your enemy into your friend’ (or punching someone in the face is a great way to start a friendship), chi blasts, and why on-on-one fights happen. We mention many anime series, but rest assured there aren’t any spoilers.
I think we cover some interesting topics and sub genres this time and would love to get some input. I'd especially like to get some input on the whys of certain shonen clichés, like one-on-one fights. My theories are things I just came up with and would love to see if anyone has some actual factual info.
