Take a walk on the WILD SIDE!

In this episode, we look at the recent hit BEASTARS from Studio Orange and author Paru Itagaki.

We discuss each major character in detail, studio Orange's pedigree, and the major themes of the show including identity, sexuality, power, bullying, and the plethora of animal metaphors.

Due to the mature themes discussed in this show, we have marked it as Explicit on Apple Podcasts. Listener discretion is advised.

Every other week, the conversation starts around a microphone with a group of longtime friends who have spent years hosting panels at anime conventions. Third Impact Anime Podcast is built from those late-night hotel lobby debates and packed conference room discussions, channeling that energy into a deep dive into the medium we love. This isn't just a review show; it's an exploration of the threads that connect classic series to today's trending hits, always with an eye on the artistic choices and cultural history that shape them. You'll hear us unpack new releases and revisit forgotten gems, share stories from the convention floor, and occasionally sit down with special guests from across the anime community. The result is a podcast that feels like hanging out with the most knowledgeable fans you know-the ones who can't help but talk a little too much about the details that make anime so compelling. Join us for a bi-weekly look at the artistry and passion that fuels this global phenomenon.
