56. Madoka Magica: A Decade Later

So a magical girl and a demon cat thing walk into a bar.... Now that we have your attention it's been 10 years since the birth of one of the most iconic genre subverting series to grace our eyes and for this episode we decided we needed a little help from our good friend Kristella. She found us a really cool online academic journal that brings up a lot of really compelling and provocative takes on this magical girl classic. It's been 10 years.. we can say it's a classic now, right? Oh and Kristella and Dan go off about One Piece for like a half hour cuz Kristella is doing the anime god's dirty work by bingeing OP in like a few months.   https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub Join us in this week’s episode at www.otakuhostclub.com continue the conversation at https://discord.gg/Ac5Gfr9 and listen wherever you listen to podcasts!
