Manga, Anime & Barbara’s Cartoon Crush
Episode 86
Tuesday, 21 October, 2025

Send us a textIn this episode, Barbara and Teja dive into the colorful, action-packed, and occasionally absurd world of anime and manga. Barbara confesses her deep affection for Spy x Family and reveals that her first-ever crush wasn’t human. (But he had expressive eyes, a cape, and a bird-shaped helmet.) Meanwhile, Teja shares what it was like growing up with anime and manga in Japan, where it was less “niche obsession” and more “part of life.”From psychic kids and secret agents to awkward middle school feelings, we explore what makes anime and manga so special—and why these stories stick with us long after the final panel.Subbed, dubbed, or wildly emotional—we’re here for all of it.Find us on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok: @loidunk
