The Speakeasy #047: Witches’ Brew, Crunchyroll & Kodansha Manga Project

Drink #047: Witches’ Brew
Crunchyroll & Kodansha Manga Project

It was a red-letter day when Kodansha USA announced its partnership with Crunchyroll to launch a manga streaming section along side CR’s popular anime site through a subscription model. With a dozen titles available upon launch and a totally of 50 promised by mid-2014, everyone was ready to dive in to the new project including us. We spent the month using and reading manga on CR so we have praise and problems to address as well as our long request list of manga to be added.

New York Comic Con 2013

New York Comic Con is a celebration, and celebrate it we did! The Speakeasy this month is actually a triple-combo made up of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday podcasts that we only posted on YouTube. So do forgive a bit of repetition. Joining us each night is Patz from The Cockpit and Alain’s elusive roommate.

Just as a heads up, we’ve started to put out our podcasts on YouTube. Do not worry however, the normal Libsyn feed is not going anywhere. We just wanted to offer another way of listening to our content and maybe expand our audience a bit. Right now the YT-versions of the podcast are super primitive with the same content you would get with the normal podcasts. We might be more ambitious in the future, but for now this is enough.

Yes. We found a way to work a Hayate reference into the title. That is just what we do.
