Is it the winter mid-season already? Well, this season is anything but mid! Cain, Kestrel, Brandon, and Kate catch up on what they've been watching and we get some last minute input from DJ as well. Find out who is thinking outside the penalty box, who's a Trigun Stan-pede, and Thorkell's live reactions to Vinland Saga Season 2. Plus licensing news, sad news, happy news... all the news! And recommendations! You know, the usual!
This week on the podcast our good friend and cohost Bryce rejoins us for talk on Harmony Gold's implosion (and the toys it may bring), Voltron, and how the season has opened for each of our hosts! Also: Ideas on what Elias (and Cain's obsession with his lack of lips) may or may not be in Ancient Magus Bride
This week, our hosts discuss company whiffleball games, some news from Comic-Con, and thoughts on this newest season of shows! Kestrel and Cain even agree for once!
Things do be falling around anime land. The usual crew arrives ready to discuss the fall 2025 season of anime. Final seasons of My Hero Academia and To Your Eternity, a new season of Ranma 1/2, spinoffs in Ginpachi, and against everyone's better judgement another season of One Punch Man. We have a few new shows too, so as always when one thing ends something else begins. Will those new things have any staying power or are they bound to slide into obscurity? Plus news and recommendations, you know the drill.
The air is crisp, the season is getting spooky, and we have pile of show finales to cover! The usual crew is joined by Mark again to chat about how all the summer shows shook out. We talk about the summer's hidden gems, many featuring college students, nudity, drinking, and hopefully happily ever afters. Ruri Rocks, Grand Blue Dreaming, Anne Shirley, To Be Hero X, and more! Plus news and recommendations! Did you know there are too many video games?
Reviewer Mark T jumps into the discussion this week as we dive into friendship, effort, and victory. Yup, we're talking about Weekly Shonen Jump, the long running manga publication which has brought the world the juggernauts of shonen manga! From Dragonball to Jojo's to One Piece, Jump has been a hit maker for decades. Yet with the end of One Piece somewhere on the horizon, is there anything that could possibly carry that torch? Does the magazine need series that seemingly never end, or has that age passed? We talk about the past, present, and future of Jump. Plus some news (mostly Discotek licenses...) and recommendations!
Nobody expected summer to be this stacked! Seriously, there may just be too many shows. The usual gang is here to talk over the 2025 anime summer season which features new and returning favs. We talk about The Summer Hikaru Died, Dandadan, City, Takopi's Original Sin, Ruri Rocks, Silent Witch, and more! Plus recommendations and news! (Please try to ignore my cat's opinions on the season, she is not qualified to offer opinions on shows she didn't watch.)
Kestrel has survived yet another massive Anime Expo. He has returned to tell the tale and share the sights, the sounds, the smells of the expo! (Well, okay, hopefully not the smells.) We have announcements, impressions, good news, bad news, and just... all the things! Plus some recommendations.
Time to check in on the Spring season as it approaches its penultimate episodes. Cain, Kestrel, Brandon, and Kate talk about all the shows they are watching, or should be watching. Certainly a lot of death in this batch of episodes, isn't there? We discuss Apothecary Diaries, Anne Shirley, To Be Hero X, Gundam GQuuuuuux, and a few other shows. So many shows, so little time! Plus we have a Chopper, ladies and gentlefolks! Also, recommendations! What are you watching?
It's been awhile since we did a really good list episode! Today's topic is Anime Character Designers. What are character designers, what do they do, and why is it so important? Who are our favorites? Who are YOUR favorites? Perhaps Akio Sugino, or Masashi Ando? Maybe even... *gasp* CLAMP? We have answers for all that and more in this episode!
Shakedown, 1979? Nope, 2025! Everything old is new again this spring, and the usual crew of Kestrel, Cain, Kate, and Brandon take in a stacked season of new old shows! We've got a Gundam that quacks, we've got Anne Shirley being a red-head, parkour Lazarus, To Be Hero X, and so much more! Truly a season with something for everyone no matter what your tastes might be. Plus one highly anticipated bit of news and recommendations. What are you watching this season?
Spring is almost sprung which means it's time for a check in of how the Winter anime season went. Kestrel, Cain, and Kate run through what they watched along with a ton of news. Some good, some bad, such is the way of anime. We cover Apothecary Diaries, Dragon Ball Daima, Solo Leveling, Re:Zero, and more! Plus recommendations featuring plenty of video games.
A new year, and we're just hanging in here doing what we know how to do, which is talk about anime. The usual crew is back to talk about the shows we are watching, anime adjacent news, and recommendations for anime and anime adjacent things! You know the drill. Featured this time around are Apothecary Diaries, Sakamoto Days, Solo Leveling, and more Dragonball. Plus some other stuff. What are you watching this season?
It's that time of year when the Post crew gets together to discuss the anime of the previous year in one big swoop. This time it is Kestrel, Cain, and Brandon running down their top picks. So if you are the type to not watch a ton of anime (present company excluded) then you won't want to miss this ultimate recommendation list!
The regular crew is nestled all snug in our podcasting studios, ready to mostly cap off the Fall 2024 anime season. The ghosts of anime properties past are haunting the season while visions of crunch are ready to pass judgement... okay, so my metaphor is failing apart. What's been naughty and what's been very nice, we discuss. Plus some recommendations and news. Have a safe and happy holiday! See you next year!
A great soundtrack can elevate any work. Cain, Kestrel, and Brandon have compiled a list of favorite anime composers, both theirs and yours, to discuss their work and impact on the industry. Selected music excerpts include: Joe Hisaishi: One Summer's Day (あの夏へ) from Spirited Away Yoko Kanno: Tank! from Cowboy Bebop Kensuke Ushio: lit (var) from A Silent Voice Kenji Kawai: Making of Cyborg from Ghost in the Shell Yoshihisa Hirano: The World of Adventurers from Hunter x Hunter, and Beyond the Seas from Hunter x Hunter
This is Fanzenshuu... Okay, that's not a thing. We may not be fusing with Kanzenshuu, but we wished upon the Dragon Balls to summon them for the task of discussing Akira Toriyama's legendary franchise as it hits 40 years strong. Between Toriyama's passing and the first new TV series in 9 years, this year has given us a lot to think about for this big anniversary. Kestrel is joined by Cain, Brandon for the first time in a while, and of course the respective founders of the highly detailed Dragon Ball fan sites that would fuse to become the all-encompassing Kanzenshuu. We cover the franchise as well as Kanzenshuu and its predecessors, and like any good battle in DBZ, it takes way longer than we expect.
So... it's been a minute but we're back from our late summer break. We have new fall anime to talk about, including the return of some favorites. We discuss Uzumaki, Orb, Blue Locl, Dan da Dan, Ranma 1/2, Natsume and more! Plus some more passings in the industry and other lighter news, and some recommendation! ---AIRHORN SOUNDS---
The dog days of summer are a bit slow this year. So slow that half our regulars aren't even watching anime! Good thing we have a bunch of Otakon news to talk about, as well as the biggest anime leak in years. YEARS. Then we cover what everyone has been watching, such as Tower of God, Spice & Wolf, Nekotan, DeadDeadDemonDedede... well, you get the point. Got something you've been watching that's been getting you out of the summer doldrums? Let us know!
Anime Expo 2024 happened, and Kestrel was there kicking ass and taking names, and by taking names I mean getting autographs. We go over all of the news we cared to share from AX. Cain ponders why anime is invading baseball. Kate is just trying not to melt or melt down over a Rayearth remake. Summertime, everybody! We also cover the rest of the end of the spring that we glossed over last week, and a few recommendations.
