23 – Chainsaw Man & Did MIRAI deserve an Oscar?

Welcome back to another episode of the From Right to Left Podcast. Today we’re going to discuss the recent addition to Jump, Chainsaw Man (up through ch. 11). Does it break the tropes of battle manga? Does it have staying power? Could it be the next big hit?

Then, we discuss Mamoru Hosoda’s Mirai no Mirai and its recent Oscar nomination. What does this mean for anime films and how could it affect future Oscars? Does it even matter? And as always, thanks for listening.
