In this episode of Black Geek Energy, Jardo and D’Marcus cover everything from car accidents and cosplay plans to the evolution of anime streaming and the future of their podcast projects.
We start with updates from real life—including D’Marcus’s car mishap—and then dive into anime history, from VHS tapes and fan subs to Crunchyroll’s shady beginnings and today’s streaming dominance. We debate piracy, Netflix vs. Hulu vs. Crunchyroll, and how anime fandom has shifted over the decades.
The hosts also share their frustrations with One Piece, recommend new anime like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and play a hilarious game translating Japanese anime titles into English.
If you’re into anime history, geek culture hot takes, and Black voices in fandom, this one’s for you!!
