Before superhero movies became mainstream, you could always count on Anime series to feature some cool special powers. From shooting giant fireballs to the ability to transform into a literal Chainsaw demon, Anime characters have always thrilled us with their over the top powers.

On this episode of the MANA (Manga Anime Netflix Adaptation) Podcast, Matt geeks out with actor Mason Gooding (Scream 6, Love, Victor) about their favorite anime powers and abilities, while Mason attempts to convince the HunterxHunter hater in Matt that the nen system is good actually.
