Ping Pong / Mujirushi

Ping Pong / Mujirushi

Author: Taiiku Podcast October 9, 2020 Duration: 32:46
Since the last podcast and this podcast, the Chicago White Sox have gotten into the playoffs for the first time since 2008, and subsequently lost two games in a row to the Oakland Athletics after wining game one, and are now out of the playoffs. At least we'll always have those literal six perfect innings from Giolito. This episode, we're talking about Taiyo Matsumoto's Ping Pong and Naoki Urasawa's Mujirushi: The Sign of Dreams! The music you heard in this episode was "Tada Hitori" by Bakudan Johnny from Ping Pong the Animation! As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen's writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post. Listen to the Taiiku Podcast episode on Ping Pong, and the previous Manga In Your Ears episode on the other Louvre manga we talked about, Cats in the Louvre. Listen Show notes: 0:52 - We talk about Ping Pong! 17:47 - We talk about Mujirushi! Next time is Burn the Witch and Jujutsu Kaisen!

Every three weeks, the hosts of Manga in Your Ears-Kory, Helen, and Apryll-settle in for a conversation that bridges the classic and the contemporary. Their format is straightforward but deeply engaging: they dive into one manga series that has already reached its conclusion, offering a full perspective on its story and impact. Then, they shift to discuss a different series that is either freshly finished or still unfolding in real time, capturing the immediate excitement of ongoing publication. This dual focus creates a unique rhythm, allowing for thoughtful retrospectives alongside the lively speculation that comes with following current releases. The discussions feel less like formal reviews and more like the kind of talk you’d have with friends who share a deep passion for the medium, dissecting character arcs, artistic choices, and narrative twists. Produced by Taiiku Podcast, this series sits comfortably at the intersection of Arts and Books, designed for anyone who appreciates the depth and diversity of manga storytelling. Tuning into this podcast is like getting a curated, bi-monthly guide to what’s worth reading, from timeless titles you might have missed to the latest chapters everyone is talking about.
