Welcome to the Canuck Otaku podcast! We're just a couple of Canadians talking everything related to Japanese culture: Anime, manga, video games, music, food and drinks. We also may talk about our general lives so hopefully you'll learn more about us personally along the way. Whether we're reviewing the latest seasonal anime, ranting on genre stereotypes or deep diving into a specific series or episode, we hope you will join us for the ride!

Shows mentioned include DBZ, Digimon, Pokemon,…
