It’s February, and that can mean only one thing! It’s time for our annual Valentine’s Day episode!This episode is not one for the kids (yes, I can see you reading this boy) and neither is the show we’re discussing, so if you’re one of our younger listeners we’d advise skipping this one.The show in question is the 2003 ecchi martial arts series Ikki Tousen.This franchise is now old enough to drink, and good thing too because it has some pretty heavy adult themes through it!This series is a time capsule - of a time where the line between anime and “chicken formal wear” was very clearly defined. But compared to more recent ecchi shows, Ikki Tousen seems out of place.So is it worth revisiting?VIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedy SUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi JOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kawaiifianimeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQ LISTEN ELSEWHERE?Spotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleYT Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-Fi-YMCastbox: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiCastboxGoodpod: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-fiGoodpodAmazon Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAmazonPocket Casts: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiPocket EPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Show Opener00:04:02 – What We’re Watching00:23:54 – Retro Classic: Ikki Tousen00:51:49 – Anime Communique01:07:57 – Green Tea, Hobbits and travel plans!Tags:anime,podcast,anime news,anime podcast,anime reviews,anime recommendation,Valentines Anime,Ikki Tousen,Battling Venus,Ikki Tōsen,一騎当千,Ecchi anime,Retro Anime

You might think that Takopi’s Original Sin is a weird title for something that looks so cute and wholesome at first glance – but don’t be fooled.This episode, Kyle and Aaron shed some tears for a show that doesn’t pull its punches, as an octopus shaped alien tries to make one child happy – experiencing the abuse, trauma and fear the children are going through.This episode is NOT for our younger listeners, as it covers a lot of heavy themes including bullying, manipulation, self-harm and domestic violence.Plus, the latest anime news and two picks from this season to cleanse your pallet after the weight of this series.MENTAL HEALTHIf you’re struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you’re not alone.It’s not easy to ask for help or admit we need it, but airing out our struggles can help make them lighter to carry.Check out the Museum of Sticks & Stones Mental Health Resource Hub to find mental health services around the world: https://www.sticksstones.org/mental-health-hubVIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedy SUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi JOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kawaiifianimeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQ LISTEN ELSEWHERE?Spotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleYT Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-Fi-YMCastbox: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiCastboxGoodpod: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-fiGoodpodAmazon Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAmazonPocket Casts: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiPocket EPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Show Opener00:02:41 – What We’re Watching00:13:47 – Now Featuring: Takopi’s Original Sin00:46:51 – Anime Communique01:02:49 – Next Time, bowling, dish washing, and “I’m proud of you, Son.”Tags:anime,podcast,anime news,anime podcast,anime reviews,anime recommendation,Takopi’s original sin,Takopii no Genzai,New Saga,Crunchyroll,Digimon,Isekai Quartet,Made in Abyss,Demon Slayer,Infinity Castle

Is it anime? No. But is it animated and taking the world by storm? Very much so!Kpop Demon Hunters might not fit our usual range of topics on this podcast, but the film is a great example of how media that is firmly grounded in its culture can take the world by storm when it's handled right!It's a film produced by Sony's Spiderverse team (and all the baggage that comes with it), which has resulted in some typically anime style elements and art choices being used throughout the film!All this, plus What We've been Watching and a bag full of anime news items!VIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedy SUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi JOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kawaiifianime TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQ LISTEN ELSEWHERE?Spotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleYT Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-Fi-YMCastbox: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiCastboxGoodpod: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-fiGoodpodAmazon Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAmazonPocket Casts: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiPocket EPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Show Opener00:03:34 – What We’re Watching00:33:25 – Now Featuring: KPOP Demon Hunters01:17:52 – Anime Communique01:41:48 – Next Time, Surprises, Soju and PsyTags:anime,podcast,anime news,anime podcast,anime reviews,anime recommendation,Kpop Demon Hunters,Sony,Spiderverse,The Summer Hikaru Died,Ruri Rocks,2.5D Seduction,Uglymug Epicfighter,Hideaki Anno,Dragon Ball,Cyborg 009,MAO,Golden Kamuy,Frieren,Reincarnated as a Slime,A-DO,Space Brothers,Rooster Fighter
The Black Lagoon manga is returning to production after another long hiatus and we finally know a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes.Creator Hiroe Rei recently opened up to Comic Natalie on the struggles he’s had with his mental health over the past 15 years. That struggle resulted in the manga going on hiatus after hiatus.With the upcoming return likely being another limited run before a break, we decided it’s a great time to discuss the series and its background. And also ask the question: Is the outro sequence ripping off Twin Peaks???All this plus the latest anime news and our current watch list as the new anime season gets under way!Mental HealthIf you’re struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you’re not alone.
