The Great Shift: Anime's Explosion In Western Pop Culture ft Jesi Loves | The RARE Podcast
Saturday, 13 December, 2025

IS WE LIVE? IS WE LIVE? IS WE LIVE? On this episode of TRP, we’re joined by Jesi Loves to explore her journey into content creation and her deep love for entertainment culture—from anime and manga to film and comics. We trace it back to watching Dragon Ball Z with her dad as a kid, through to breaking down anime power systems in detail for her growing online audience. We also get into her current thoughts on the MCU and whether the franchise is overdue for a reboot. A real conversation about fandom, analysis, and how our favourite stories evolve with us.
