  The Hunt For Good Anime: What We're Actually Watching | Joe Grind | Nani Talks | Episode 15.4

  Aug 17, 202640 minS1

  You get on Crunchyroll between simulcasts and there is nothing. So how does anyone find the good stuff? This week the panel opens up the watchlist. Prison School, Dorohedoro, To Be Hero X, More Than a Married Couple But Not Lovers, Cosmic Princess Kaguya, Nippon Sengoku, Sentenced to Be a Hero, Digimon Beatbreak, Hell's Paradise, The 100 Girlfriends, Witch Hat Atelier and a Chinese donghua with six seasons that nobody else in the room had clocked. Joe Grind of Joey's Fun House is in the chair for it. It turns into two other things on the way. The first is anime and parenting: five written comprehension questions after Dragon Ball, a six year old who worked out that Char Aznable is misunderstood, and a son who explained Yu Gi Oh Zexal so well his dad went back and watched the rest of the episode. The second is the Big Three, and whether Dragon Ball belongs in it. It does not, and the reason why is the best two minutes in the segment. We finish on anime in the cinema versus anime at home. The only anime podcast from the culture. CHAPTERS 00:00 What's everybody watching? 00:33 "I'm watching a lot of slop" 00:59 Prison School, and where the line is 02:21 Dorohedoro season 2 03:30 To Be Hero X, and switching art styles mid show 04:34 Jazzy's pick: More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers 07:25 Love Through a Prism: art school in London 08:50 Cosmic Princess Kaguya: Ghibli vibes into shonen fights 11:24 Nippon Sengoku and Sentenced to Be a Hero 12:45 Digimon Beatbreak is actually good 13:55 Five episodes a week: raising a kid on anime 14:44 The comprehension homework 15:21 A six year old explains Char Aznable 17:04 Yu Gi Oh Zexal, and being talked into a show by your son 18:27 Hell's Paradise 18:55 The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Love You 20:56 Witch Hat Atelier: give it to episode seven 25:37 The Big Three, and why Dragon Ball is not in it 27:59 Country Bumpkin: mastering the basics 31:23 Anime in the cinema versus anime at home 36:01 Hitori no Shita: The Outcast 38:20 Closing advice: post and pay attention LISTEN TO NANI TALKS New episodes every Monday at 7:30pm.

  Can You Name The Anime From Just The Colourway? | Joe Grind | Nani Talks | Episode 15.3

  Aug 3, 202619 minS1

  No characters. No logos. Just the colours. Name the anime. This week the panel splits into two teams and plays Guess the Anime Colour Way. Blackstar puts a colour palette on screen, no faces and no titles, and the first team to buzz in and name the character or the show takes the point. JR and Slick against Tunes and Joe Grind of Joey's Fun House. What starts as a clean quiz falls apart inside two minutes: VAR gets called, the rules get rewritten twice, and the man holding the board gets accused of corruption more than once. The knowledge is real though. Asta from a black cape, Edward Elric from a single silver square, Nezuko, Gohan, Kakashi, Sailor Moon, and a One Piece tiebreak that nobody saw coming. Play along at home and see how many you get before they do. The only anime podcast from the culture. CHAPTERS 00:00 The rules: Guess the Anime Colour Way 01:25 Deku, and the first VAR call 02:33 New rule: get it wrong and it goes to the other team 03:36 Luffy, and the backup problem 04:51 The one nobody could name 06:16 Asta: black cape or blue and brown? 06:50 "Mediocre rubbish", and who is actually smart here 07:26 Sailor Moon, and the system 08:35 "We don't need the help": keeping it sportsman 10:47 Eren or Bleach? Black, orange, giant 12:13 The silver square was his metal arm 12:37 Gohan, Kakashi, and extra points 15:18 Nezuko 15:49 The ref gets accused of corruption 15:56 Tiebreak: what episode does Marineford end on? 17:09 The final score, and who really won 17:52 Next time on Nani Talks GUEST Joey's Fun House YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC24zcu9DnWbFSRaPA3XBU_Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeysfunhouse TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joeysfunhouse Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4e8opWGsP5Yvc80ThFWoMW Nani Talks Produced by Naniverse. #NaniTalks #Naniverse #GuessTheAnime #AnimeQuiz #AnimeChallenge #AnimeTrivia #JoeGrind #JoeysFunHouse #AnimePodcast #UKAnime #BlackClover #DemonSlayer #OnePiece #Naruto #AnimeCommunity TC The Vision: http://instagram.com/tcthevision The Quantum One: http://instagram.com/the_quantum_one Slick: http://instagram.com/slickcrafted Junior: http://instagram.com/juniorox_ Tun3s: http://instagram.com/_stay_tun3d Jazzy: http://instagram.com/_jazmine4 Producer | Director: http://instagram.com/theblackkstar Sound Design: http://instagram.com/kayper.d.w Visual Architect: http://instagram.com/tcthevision

  Is Your Gaming Room For You Or For Show? | Joe Grind | Nani Talks Ep 15.2

  Jul 27, 202630 minS1

  Plushies, the sofa, the Nanoleafs, the Shenron on the wall. Then Joey asked who the room is actually for. We brought Joe Grind back for the panel half of Episode 15. First, Adrian from Sevenoaks told his boss he likes anime and now the man will not stop firing Kamehamehas across the office, and for the first time in the show's history we could not solve it. Then the big one: is tech moving too fast for the average person to follow? We get into want versus need, buying on FOMO, why Blockbuster lost to Netflix, obsolete iPhones and the security risk nobody reads about, and the fact that a robot vacuum might be the best adult purchase any of us has made. Finally we build the Nani Talks Fun House from scratch, and it turns into something else entirely: are you building a room for yourself, or a room for the people you invite round? This is Nani Talks, the only anime podcast from the culture. CHAPTERS 00:00 The dilemma: my boss will not stop doing the Kamehameha 01:33 Boundaries: you opened the door, now deal with it 02:17 Is the manager actually the bigger anime fan? 03:37 The verdict: sorry Adrian, there is no solution 06:51 The first dilemma we could not solve 07:05 Talking point: is it too hard to keep up with tech? 07:23 Go at your own pace, nobody needs an AI fridge 08:52 Blockbuster to Netflix: what complacency costs 09:16 3D TVs and the tech that came and went 10:11 The Roomba is the best adult purchase ever 12:08 What about AI, and how far do you actually need to go 15:02 Obsolete iPhones, security risk and the upgrade trap 16:47 Buying on FOMO and buying what your friends have 19:48 You cannot keep up, and that is fine 20:40 Photography, old tech and what actually enhances your life 21:26 When work forces the new tech on you 22:02 Let's build the Nani Talks Fun House 22:31 Plushies, a comfy sofa and Joey's snack setup 23:17 Nanoleafs, the NES, the Mega Drive and the 90s setup 24:15 Is the room for you or for everyone else? 25:33 Comfort or pride: what the collection actually does 26:37 The Shenron piece, the Obito mask and plasterboard fear 28:14 Straw Hats in the room, and why Hisoka is not invited GUEST Joey's Fun House YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC24zcu9DnWbFSRaPA3XBU_Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeysfunhouse TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joeysfunhouse Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4e8opWGsP5Yvc80ThFWoMW Nani Talks Produced by Naniverse. #NaniTalks #JoeGrind #OnePiece TC The Vision: http://instagram.com/tcthevision The Quantum One: http://instagram.com/the_quantum_one Slick: http://instagram.com/slickcrafted Junior: http://instagram.com/juniorox_ Tun3s: http://instagram.com/_stay_tun3d Jazzy: http://instagram.com/_jazmine4 Producer | Director: http://instagram.com/theblackkstar Sound Design: http://instagram.com/kayper.d.w Visual Architect: http://instagram.com/tcthevision

  How One Piece Saved His Life | Joe Grind | Nani Talks Episode 15

  Jul 20, 202654 minS1

  Joe Grind swapped the studio for the sofa, and anime is the reason why. This week we sat down with Joe Grind, the rapper turned creator behind Joey's Fun House, the gaming and anime channel he built out of his own front room. We got into how he moved from gangster rap into anime and gaming content, why letting go of the old music process felt free, and how shows like One Piece, Naruto and X-Men rewired the way he sees himself, his family and his mistakes. It goes deep: victim mentality versus ownership, being a nerd who had to be a lion growing up in Peckham, raising kids who know exactly what they love, and finding your own lane out of anyone's shadow. Real talk about growth, wrapped in the shows we all love. CHAPTERS 00:00 It's Joe Grind, not Joe Grant: the name debate 02:16 Joe Grind the man vs Joey's Fun House the IP 03:00 Leaving the rap grind: why making content felt free 04:40 The gift and the curse of doing everything yourself 05:08 "You don't quit music": COVID and the last album 05:53 Lockdown, Naruto, and craving deeper conversations 06:47 Joey's Game and Tech, and talking Invincible with Giggs 08:58 Being yourself when the mandem don't get it 11:02 A nerd who had to be a lion in Peckham 12:16 Star Wars vs Harry Potter, and reading power 14:38 Why One Piece and Tokyo Revengers hit different 15:56 How X-Men taught him Martin Luther King vs Malcolm X 16:34 The GOAT debate and defending Batman 20:52 The greatest villain, and the "as a Black man" question 26:20 How Naruto saved his life 29:31 What Luffy taught him about accountability 36:15 "You don't wait for people": the content mindset 47:33 Inside Joey's Fun House and building with Naniverse GUEST Joey's Fun House YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC24zcu9DnWbFSRaPA3XBU_Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeysfunhouse TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joeysfunhouse Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4e8opWGsP5Yvc80ThFWoMW Nani Talks Produced by Naniverse. #NaniTalks #JoeGrind #OnePiece TC The Vision: http://instagram.com/tcthevision The Quantum One: http://instagram.com/the_quantum_one Slick: http://instagram.com/slickcrafted Junior: http://instagram.com/juniorox_ Tun3s: http://instagram.com/_stay_tun3d Jazzy: http://instagram.com/_jazmine4 Producer | Director: http://instagram.com/theblackkstar Sound Design: http://instagram.com/kayper.d.w Visual Architect: http://instagram.com/tcthevision

  Which Anime Character Has The Most Drip? The What List ft. MNMLST | Nani Talks Ep 14.4

  Jul 13, 202636 minS1

  Anime recommendations, one all time fight scene claim, and a drip debate that runs the whole wardrobe. It is the What List. We sat back down with the MNMLST founders to run through what everyone is actually watching right now. The One Piece live action pulls off a rewatch, the lore goes deep into Joy Boy and the Void Century, and one JJK fight gets called the greatest fight scene in anime, period. We hand out warnings for the do not watch list, put respect on Kagurabachi and Frieren, and Slick pulls back the curtain on the Naniverse.io original IP, artwork and all. Then the only question that matters: which anime character has the most drip? This is Nani Talks, the only anime podcast from the culture. #TheWhatList #AnimeRecommendations #MNMLST CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome: it is the What List 01:07 What is everyone watching right now 01:24 One Piece: the live action rewatch and Void Century lore 03:08 Favourite arcs: Skypiea, Marineford and Impel Down 05:05 Alabasta, Poneglyphs and Nico Robin 06:32 JJK: the greatest fight scene in anime, period 07:10 Gaara vs Madara, Solo Leveling and the Broly movie 10:54 Demon Slayer Infinity Castle comparison 11:53 Tougen Anki and the fan service problem 13:09 Slick reveals the Naniverse original IP 15:52 Could MNMLST be featured in an anime? 16:59 Dandadan: the wife story and Turbo Granny 18:30 The do not watch list: Goblin Slayer, Beastars, Boku no Pico 19:33 The online shopping skill anime and other hidden gems 21:57 Sentenced to Be a Hero and the B-tier pile 23:14 Fate Strange Fake and the watch order problem 24:27 Kagurabachi: the manga everyone should be reading 25:06 Frieren: how magic fights should look 26:55 JoJo Steel Ball Run and anime fashion 30:11 Which anime character has the most drip? 33:02 Muzan, Best Jeanist, Lelouch and Tobirama 34:09 Zoro's fits and the time skip SHOP MNMLST Website: https://mnmlst.co.uk TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@officialmnmlst Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialmnmlst/ (MNMLST = "minimalist" without the vowels) LISTEN TO NANI TALKS New episodes every Monday at 7:30pm.
