🎙 Introduction

Welcome to episode one of the N America podcast! While this podcast might share the same name as the old N America magazine, we assure you that they are unrelated. In this episode, we will discuss how this podcast came to be, the topic of anime, recent news in the anime industry, the worst endings in anime and manga, popular actor Michael B. Jordan's anime recommendations, the retirement of Ash Ketchum, the debate on AI in anime production, and finally, our current anime recommendations.

🎧 The Origin of the N America Podcast

The N America podcast came to be thanks to Donald's secret Recording of our anime conversations. We decided to embrace this opportunity and create a podcast where we could discuss our favorite anime and make some money while doing it. So here we are, dressed to impress and ready to talk about anime.

🎌 What is Anime?

Anime is more than just animation from Japan. While some might define it as such, it is vital to understand that anime is a style of animation that encompasses various themes, tropes, and artistic techniques unique to Japanese culture. Anime has developed its own distinct identity over the Course of history, differentiating it from Western shows that simply borrow the visual style.

📰 Recent Anime News

In recent anime news, Anime Japan 2023, a popular convention, made several exciting announcements. Fans can look forward to the announcement of Re-Zero Season 3, a new trailer for Mushoku Tensei Season 2, and a new trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. These announcements have generated much excitement among anime enthusiasts.

⚡️ Worst Endings in Anime and Manga

Anime and manga often captivate us with their compelling stories and well-crafted characters. However, not every series delivers a satisfying ending. Let's explore some of the worst endings in anime and manga.

One notorious example is the anime adaptation of Bunny Drop. While the series started as a heartwarming slice-of-life story about a man raising his adoptive daughter, the manga took a dark turn. In the later chapters, the daughter develops romantic feelings for her adoptive father, leading to an uncomfortable and inappropriate relationship.

Another disappointing ending can be found in Blue Flag, a popular romance manga. After a long build-up of relationships and character development, the series ends abruptly with ambiguous outcomes for the main characters. This left readers unsatisfied and longing for a more conclusive resolution.

One polarizing ending is found in the movie adaptation of Violet Evergarden. The film reintroduces a character presumed dead, leading to a romantic relationship that contradicts the established themes of the original series. This departure from the realistic and relatable narrative left many fans disappointed.

🎥 Michael B. Jordan's Top 5 Anime Picks

Popular actor Michael B. Jordan recently shared his top five anime recommendations. While his choices, including One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Bleach, and Hunter x Hunter, are beloved favorites among many fans, some argue that they may not be the best choices for newcomers to the genre. These long-running series can be daunting for beginners due to their extensive episode counts. However, it is crucial to acknowledge their influential impact on the anime industry.

💔 The Retirement of Ash Ketchum

After over two decades, the iconic character Ash Ketchum has been retired as a prominent character in the Pokémon franchise. While Ash's departure may come as a surprise to many who have followed his journey, it marks an important milestone in the series. Ash's retirement serves as an opportunity for new characters to take center stage and for the Pokémon Universe to evolve.

🤖 The Debate on AI in Anime

Recent advancements in AI technology have sparked debates within the anime community. AI-generated anime, such as the Corridor Digital video, presents an alternative approach to animation. While some appreciate the potential of AI in assisting with in-between animations or backgrounds, others argue that the creativity and artistic vision of human animators should not be replaced by machines. Ethical concerns, such as the unauthorized use of copyrighted material, also arise in the context of AI-generated anime.

📺 Current Anime Recommendations

In terms of current anime recommendations, there are several series worth checking out. "Urusei Yatsura Remake" has recently concluded and offers a solid adaptation for fans of the original series. "Bleach" is another popular choice, known for its intense action and stylish character designs. "Pride of Orange," a Sports anime about cute girls playing hockey, provides a lighthearted and enjoyable watch. For those interested in romance, "Euphoria" offers a unique and thought-provoking story, while "Outlaw Star" presents a classic space-western adventure.

That concludes today's episode of the N America podcast. We hope you enjoyed our discussions on anime, recent news, worst endings, and more. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we will dive into new topics and explore the ever-changing world of anime.
