EP. 231: July 2023 News Roundup!

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum come together for another news episode! Discussion includes a lot what went on at Anime Expo a couple of weeks ago, such as the crew's Zom 100 fever and announcements from panels held by Noir Caesar, Trigger and Netflix! Along with our thoughts on how the live action One Piece series is shaping up after seeing the teaser and our picks for which new manga licenses have been announced over the past month as well! Due to time constraints, the episode is light on actual news compared to normal, but our Mavericks still have a lot of fun, laid-back discussion about all the cool stuff that's been coming out or that they have to look forward to! So enjoy that!

Check out the first episode of the Manga Mavericks Anime Club! A new podcast exclusively available on the Patreon where we'll be discussing various different anime! Starting with a blind watch-through of Hajime no Ippo!
