Manga Fights EP. 2: InuYasha (feat. Josh Dunham)

It's time for another episode of All-Comic Presents: Manga Mavericks Presents: Manga Fights sponsored by Geoff Martin Art Sales (not really)! Operating in the same fashion as Screen Junkies’ Movie Fights, Manga Fights features passionate manga fans debating it out over manga-related several topics both intriguing and insane. With the Manga Mavericks as your hosts, intelligent conversations, heated arguments, and unintentional comedy is always sure to abound! Continuing off our InuYasha 20th anniversary retrospective (well, we recorded this before that, actually), Manga Mavericks' resident Rumic World expert LumRanmaYasha faces off against sakuga guru and previous Manga Mavericks guest Josh Dunham on InuYasha-related topics! You'd think that Lum would have the home-field advantage when it comes to Rumiko Takahashi, but Josh proves a formidable adversary, coming up with a cast for a prospective live-action adaption of the series that will make you wet with excitement! Will Lum be able to defeat Josh, or will they have to change their name to LumRanmaRinne? Find out as we go back down the well with nostalgia for a jam-packed two hours of InuYasha discussion! Editor's Note, 2020: In this episode, Lum repeatedly refers to themselves with an epithet that includes an unfortunate slur. We were much younger and not as socially and critically conscious back then as we are now, and in retrospect, we find the use of this pejorative in a self-deprecating sense excruciatingly in poor taste and cringey. We humbly ask you keep in mind that the use of this term in this podcast does not reflect upon what we consider acceptable to say now.
