Today we have a special guest, Sam from Rhystic Studies! You may be familiar with his content on YouTube  where he explores the art, history, and culture of the collectible card game Magic: the Gathering. No, this is not David Blaine's magic, but something much more accessible to everyone! Think Pokémon cards for you weebs that haven't explored Magic like Saif. (Not) Only will we be talking about Magic, but today we talk about Akira and it's influence on the Magic world in terms of annihilation. As Reeves likes to point out on the episode, Saif doesn't dive into themes. However, Sam said it best, Saif is the Lewis and Clark of the anime world, which is essential to expanding our horizons. Don't forget to catch Sam's annihilation video here on YouTube.Please send us some fan mail at notonlyanimepodcast@gmail.com and we'll answer it on our next episode!
