Welcome to The Anime Effect, the weekly podcast hosted by Crunchyroll’s own in-house, resident anime experts – Nicholas Friedman, LeAlec Murray, and Leah President. The show is a lively mixture of roundtable news and discussion with Crunchyroll hosts and special guests as they debate hot topics, provide recommendations, and tackle fan questions.

J-Pop global sensation LiSA is here! Before her latest film premiere and headlining her first concert in America in 10 years, LiSA is joining The Anime Effect to share about her music journey. LiSA reveals behind-the-scenes details of her concert film LiVE is SMiLE ALWAYS -LANDER-, which premieres August 19, gets help from Nick and LeAlec to design her July 26 San Diego Comic-Con concert set list, and of course gushes over why she loves the Minions so much.
