#44 - KonMari Damashii - Tidying up your Otaku lifestyle

Sully, Bill, and Austin discuss Marie Kondo and her interesting theories on cleaning up your space, decluttering your lifestyle, only keeping things that spark joy. We start off with some catchup, Sully talks a little about Kirby: Star Allies and checking out My Hero Academia for the first time, Bill and Austin talk about Avengers: Infinity War, and then we introduce the KonMari method, discuss it, then examine how it can apply to otaku/fan culture. Then we go off on related topics like ethical consumption under fandom, how KonMari applies to our backlog of things to watch, and generally how we express ourselves as fans.  The audio clip in the show is from this video from NHK World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6BkvPWaCnI Listen to Marie Kondo discuss her method and take audience questions in her "Talks with Google" forum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1-HMMX_NR8 You can find Marie Kondo's book on Amazon but definitely try and find it at your local used bookstore first!  Thanks for listening!  Listen to us everywhere!  iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/third-impact-anime-podcast/ Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Il3e2lqbq2awcml5zuxa64lh7m4 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/third-impact-anime-podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnD4tDaOg7m3A0xatHfAc1g?view_as=subscriber Follow us home.  facebook.com/thirdimpactanime Our twitters: Third impact @TI_Anime Bill @wbforeman999 Austin @bebopshock Sully @calvakun
