On that day, this podcast feed received a grim reminder. Humanity lives in fear of yet another episode of the Third Impact Anime Podcast. Not only is this our first proper episode of 2024, it's the beginning of a retrospective looking back at the one and only Attack on Titan, a series that defined the 2010s and finally wrapped up last year. How well does that first season hold up? What do we think of the parts we have and haven't seen yet? Is this series legitimately good or a bunch of hot titan smoke? Austin, Tori, and Ryan venture outside the walls to tell you just that. This episode is our review of the first 13 episodes with subsequent parts releasing over the course of the next few months. Please enjoy!
What do you think of Attack on Titan? What are some of your memories associated with it? Did you stick it out to the end? Did you drop off? Why? Let us know by sending us an email at thirdimpactanime@gmail.com and we'll discuss it on the show.

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope your 2023 ended on a high note and your 2024 has begun with the same. Much like last year, Tobias presents a few segments from TIA members reflecting on a few of the anime, manga, video games, books, movies, TV series, concerts, experiences, or life events that we found meaningful this past year. We hope you enjoy listening and that you'll stick around with us for another year.

And if youuuuu caaaaannnn believe it, it's Christmas once again!
We're happy to present (ha) our 2023 Anime Secret Santa Special! If you're not familiar with this project, the kind folks over at the Taiiku Podcast (formerly the All Geeks Considered Podcast, formerly more-so the Reverse Thieves Podcast) organize an annual Secret Santa swap between various bloggers and podcasters in the fandom space.
The way it works is that every year, you're randomly assigned a Secret Santa, and they pick three shows for you to check out based on what you've seen via your favorite anime tracking site (MyAnimeList, Kitsu, Anime Planet, etc.). Then, you are to review at least one of those shows and either write or podcast about it. Austin, Tobias, and Bill all participated this year with their own individual picks, and here we are reviewing them all at once for a fun Christmas extravaganza!
Here's what we got from Santa-san this Christmas:
KILL ME BABY and STAR DRIVER (Tobias)
SAMURAI FLAMENCO and LOVE LIVE! SUPERSTAR!! (partial review) (Austin)
KAIJI: ULTIMATE SURVIVOR and DEVILMAN CRYBABY (Bill)
Please enjoy, and thanks again to Kory and the Taiiku Podcast for hosting this awesome annual event once again! It's not Christmas without Anime Secret Santa, so thank you from the bottom of our kokoro.
The thumbnail image (depending on what pod-catcher you're viewing this on) is our official TIA Christmas card, designed by PeachCannoli on Instagram. Be sure to give them a follow!

After a years-long absence, we one again returned to the hallowed halls of the Renaissance Waverly/Cobb Galleria in Atlanta, Georgia for the final year of Anime Weekend Atlanta... in that venue, at least.
Austin, Tori, and Tobias reflect on being back after a while, the convention moving on to a bigger and (hopefully) better location next year, and all the cool and fun stuff we got to do this year. What panels did we perform? What panels did we attend? What concerts did we see? Did we have a corndog? Is there a special guest appearing in this episode? Who knows?! You, if you listen.
Did you attend AWA 2023? If so, what was your experience like? Let us know by sending us an e-mail at thirdimpactanime@gmail.com and we'll respond on the show!

How many times can Bill be recommended to watch Chihayafuru in a single podcast episode? Find out in this incredible new INTERVIEW episode with TikTok star, YouTube video essayist, and shojo/josei expert, COLLEEN from Colleen's Manga Recs! If you're tuned in to anime content on YouTube even slightly, you've probably ran into Colleen's excellent video essays about topics across the spectrum of shojo and josei, and Bill sits down with them for a really fun chat!
Thanks so much to Colleen for coming on the show and breathing life to a topic we seldom cover on Third Impact Anime (but hopefully that will change). Be sure and check out Colleen on YouTube and Instagram.
What is your favorite shojo or josei series? Which one should Bill watch or read next? What's your favorite video of Colleen's? Send us an e-mail at thirdimpactanime@gmail.com and we'll respond on the show!
