Manga Mavericks @ Movies #9: The Ancient Magus's Bride

10/08/17 • 49 min

It's finally time to dig up and release those dozen reviews we recorded over the summer I never got around to releasing! Since The Ancient Magus's Bride anime has finally premiered on Crunchyroll, it seemed high time to post our thoughts on the first three episodes of the series, which we watched back in July thanks to Crunchyroll's Anime Movie Night. Was The Ancient Magus's Bride as enchanting as its reputation suggests? It won't take you long to find out! That isn't the only review on this episode though! We also share our thoughts on Takeshi Koike's badass new Lupin III flick The Blood Spray of Goemon Ishikawa. This is one of the rare Lupin III features to focus on the theif's iconic samurai sidekick, but was the movie really about him? We discuss the pros and cons of the film as well as what we'd like to see from the Lupin III Koike-verse in the future!

Marvel's Inhumans is inhumane. The Mavericks are joined by their Jack Kirby-loving friend Jonathan to discuss the first two episodes of the latest Marvel misfire, which they made they grave mistake of seeing on the big screen. Topics include the history of the Inhumans, why Marvel is pushing them as a franchise, and their mistreatment of the X-Men. There's also a lot of tangents about a variety of topics ranging from Jimmy Neutron to the Aqua Bats. It's a fun conversation about a not-so-fun show!
