Episode 50 - Sword Art Online

For this special FIFTIETH episode, we celebrate the isekai GOAT by discussing the Sword Art Online manga's first two volumes. From Aincrad to Skull Reaper, Yui to... ethics codes... we deep dive into the manga version of the franchise that's come to define the industry this past decade. But is the original still the best, or best left forgotten?

Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren't!

Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short.

Every fortnight, Sean, Mike and Phil cover a manga (or sometimes webtoon!), and discuss the first two volumes, looking at the good, the bad... but mostly, the trash. Will we find some gems amongst the junk? Or just slip further into the trash pile?
