Episode 167 - Trashtacular Tournament Arc 6-7 (Part 1)

We've made it! Once again, welcome to our end of year tournament spectacular! In this first half of Trashtacular Tournament Arc 6-7, we relive all 25 series covered throughout our sixth year, and slowly whittle them down to our Last 16 for next week's knockout stages. Was Yu-Gi-Oh better than My Hero? Was Flowers of Evil or Hensuki truly that bad? Does Sean still hate Secret of the Alien? All these answers and more await... ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren't! Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short. New episodes drop every fortnight, where our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little thing to discuss what's good, what's bad, but mostly, what's trash. Five years in, we're just getting started, as trash never ends, and neither do we. So please, come join us and listen to our book club slash never-ending existential nightmare! ~ Follow us on social media!
