Episode 30 - Bonjour Sweet Love Patisserie
<p>Well I’ll apologize that this isn’t really a new content post. I decided to do an episode of the podcast this time. This is actually an audio version of a review I had previous done last year. I also need to apologize on the sound quality. Descript was being really weird. I just don’t feel like re-recording it.</p><p>You can read the full written version right here: </p><p></p><p>Just so you don’t feel “cheated” by not getting a more substantive content, I’ll be sharing some notable things.</p><p>* As I was recording this episode I used the linked post as a rough script. What I didn’t realize was that Crunchyroll took off this anime series. Not sure if the license expired or it’s not popular so no reason to keep it in their library?</p><p>* I have been watching and reading things. So don’t worry I’ll be posting some actual new content on here. It’s just that I’m still reading/watching those things. I try where possible to finish stuff before commenting about them.</p><p>* I’m only now just discovering <strong>The Amazing Digital Circus</strong>. Apparently people on the internet have been watching this series for the past 2 1/2 years. I guess it’s just because of what type of stuff I tend to watch on YouTube that I literally NEVER heard of this show. I have plans to write a post about it. You might wonder why I’d write about something NOT Japanese or Korean on here. It’s because it’s reminding me of an anime series and no, it’s not the one most people think of. Admittedly I haven’t watched Sword Art Online. Probably I’m better off NOT watching it BEFORE I write this essay first.</p><p>As a side note, the next post will be July 5 as scheduled. I will make sure to have something posted then. I might make sure I write something ahead of time.</p><p>Have some thoughts? Leave a comment below!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

From Comics to Live Action!
<p>So this week I decided to get back on the mic and do a podcast episode. To be fair it has been 3 months since I did an episode announcing I would bring the podcast back. I did warn people it would be a sporadic release.</p><p>This week I’m doing the audio version of a story I posted last June. You can just listen to the episode (if you’re reading this) or you can just read it <a target="_blank" href="https://cafemanga.substack.com/p/from-comics-to-live-action">here</a>.</p><p>In other news, I have officially made a new website that I named <a target="_blank" href="https://www.elizabethlew.com">Gillfull Thinking</a>, It’s basically a funny, cutesy name for my personal website. It’s a hub website where I link all the various projects and activities I do online in one spot so people can get to know my efforts on the internet. That includes this Substack publication. At some point I’ll eventually add Cafemanga.com along, but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.</p><p>If I can be candid with you readers, I’ve been debating for a long while now whether to keep this publication on Substack or move it. I’m leaning towards WordPress since my plan for CafeManga.com is to be a WP site. However I still get some interaction on Substack so I’m sticking around. There is a variety of reasons why I’m debating about the future of my being on Substack. If you have actual opinions feel free to share in the comments!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

The 3 Titles I Was Obsessed With in 2025
<p>Before I get started, I want to apologize if the audio quality might be off. I’m not sure what the cause is but when I listen to the playback during the editing, I sound off. Not sure if it’s because it’s late at night when I recorded and my voice sounds funny or Descript is being weird.</p><p>I wanted to explain how it’s been a year since I did the last episode of the podcast. I thought I was burnt out and done. To a degree I still am. However my analytics tell me that people are apparently listening to old episodes of the podcast. I’ve decide to bring the show back. Sort of.</p><p>What do I mean sort of? Well I’ll be doing episodes. However they won’t be weekly. I will do them sporadically as weekly is just not doable. I’m already struggling slightly to continue writing every week. Podcasting is even more work than writing. I’ve decide that there are just occasions where I have an idea for a post, but in reality it’s just easier to talk about it verbally rather than writing it out.</p><p>At most, I’ll do one episode a month. More realistically it’s probably every other month. It’s also an opportunity to cross post and see if I can convince listeners to check out the Substack.</p><p>I will still write out a post. It’s part show notes for the episodes. It’s also a way for people who can’t or don’t want to listen to the episode to at least read about what the episode is about.</p><p>I am cheating a bit with this episode. I’m basically repeating part of the past reviews I did in this episode. You can read the full versions of said reviews below.</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://cafemanga.substack.com/p/campfire-cooking-in-another-world"><strong>Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill</strong></a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://cafemanga.substack.com/p/debut-or-die"><strong>Debut of Die!</strong></a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://cafemanga.substack.com/p/cinderella-chef"><strong>Cinderella Chef</strong></a></p><p>Before I close out, I’ll wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in 2026!</p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
