Kotatsu Corner #5 - Our Favorite Things in 2022!!!!!!!!

Author: Third Impact Anime Podcast December 31, 2022 Duration: 1:26:39
2022 has come to a close and we're doing our final Kotatsu Corner a little different than usual. First off, we're doing one at all (we promise they will be more regular in the coming year), but second off, we've adapted an old idea into a new format!  If you've followed us for a while, you may remember that we used to do blog posts cataloging and celebrating the things that resonated with us the most over the last year. We could have done that again, but heck, we're a podcast darnit! This time we're taking the same idea but doing it in podcast form. Tobias has stitched together submissions from six TIA contributors into one, long episode where we talk about the media that meant something to us this year.  We hope you enjoy our lists and we encourage you to comment or e-mail us your own lists of things that meant a lot to you this year. Maybe we'll read them on the show! Email us at thirdimpactanime@gmail.com Thanks for sticking with us yet again. We hope to continue to give our best effort in producing brand-new episodes and panels in 2023 and we can't wait for the friends we meet along the way. Happy New Year from Third Impact Anime. あけましておめでとうございます!

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.
