Anime has gone from a niche interest to a worldwide pop culture phenomenon — and we're breaking down how it happened!
This week on The Midnight Release, we're looking back at the modern anime boom, from early 2010s hits like Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan, and One-Punch Man to the explosion of My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen. We'll explore the new wave of series like Solo Leveling, Kaiju No. 8, Dandadan, and The Apothecary Diaries, and discuss how anime became a much bigger part of the mainstream conversation.
We're also diving into anime video games, from the legendary Dragon Ball and Naruto franchises to adaptations of Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and more.
Then it's time for our Side Quests! Disc of the Day is all about our favorite, most memorable anime games, while Now Loading challenges us to pick our own Big Three of modern anime.
Whether you've been watching for decades or just found your next obsession, we're talking about the shows, games, and memories that helped anime take over.
Because some memories are worth lining up for.
