Also, in honor of the series' GENESIS weapon, Kellen makes way too many Sega...

Animezing Podcast - Episode 159
March 05, 2014 16:35 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBIn today's episode of Animezing Podcast, Kellen and James reach the halfway point of Gundam SEED. Some characters die, some reveal hidden identities, and a whole lot of them mope. Par for the course. We also see two of the series greatest episodes in "The End of the Sandstorm," "The Sea Dyed Red," "Fateful Encounter," "War for Two," and "The Land of Peace."
Animezing Podcast - Episode 158
February 19, 2014 16:05 - 1 hour - 38.9 MBIn this episode of Animezing Podcast, Kellen and James begin a new arc, with a new villain that shares some qualities with a very popular Simpsons character.

Animezing Podcast - Episode 156
January 24, 2014 13:10 - 1 hour - 34.2 MBAs stated before, the social commentary presented in Gundam SEED was one of the things that drew a young Kellen and James to the program. In today's five episodes ("The Vanishing Gundam," "The Scar of Space," "Songstress of the Enemy Forces," "The Fading Light," and "Crossroads") we see this in the cohabitation of Lacus Clyne (a Coordinator) and Flay Allster (who is bigoted towards Coordinators). Listen on to see if this dynamic rings as loud for the duo now as it did in 2005.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 155
January 20, 2014 15:10 - 1 hour - 30.4 MBAfter a nearly three-month hiatus, Animezing Podcast is back! Kellen is joined by James to watch one of the duo's most long-cherished anime series: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. While they were enamored at the age of 17 with the flying mechs, political intrigue, social commentary, and teenage angst, how will it fair now that both are in their mid-20s? See how the retrospective goes as they cover "False Peace," "Its Name: Gundam," "Collapsing Land," "Silent Run," and "Phase Shift Down."
Animezing Podcast - Episode 154

Animezing Podcast - Episode 153
October 18, 2013 13:55 - 1 hour - 38.4 MBAnimezing Podcast finishes up its review of Nerima Daikon Brothers with Kellen and Will reviewing the surprisingly serialized final four episodes. "Cook Up an Erection in Mine!," which the duo think deserved more care with its baseball puns. "Give My 'Bad' a Thrilla-Thriller!," which contains a simultaneously loving and scathing tribute to the King of Pop. "A Threesome in My Dome?!," which sees the culimation of many of the shows recurring gags. And "My Finish! Take a Look at This!," which co...
Animezing Podcast - Episode 152
October 02, 2013 17:50 - 49 minutes - 22.9 MBIn this episode of Animezing Podcast, things get even weirder on Nerima Daikon Brothers. "Roll Mine, No. 1" features the most ridiculously domineering wife in all of media (as well as what may be a direct Simpsons homage). "My Backroom Fortune-Telling" involves hilarious duck puns. "Play with Mine! Sue Me!" sees the show take a very meta-humorous turn. And "My Dirt-Cheap Rocket is About to Launch!" involves a pink Darth Vader costume. Join Kellen and Will as they hack their way through this b...
Animezing Podcast - Episode 151
September 18, 2013 17:35 - 1 hour - 27.8 MBKellen Scrivens and Will Ackerman begin their look at Shinichi "Nabeshin" Watanabe's wacky musical comedy, Nerima Daikon Brothers, by diving into the first four episodes: "Please Touch My Nerima Daikon," "Sa Rang Hey Yo with My Balls," "My Shot Will Crash into Your Backside," and "My Gadget (Detective) is Huge, Huh?" It must be stated that these are episode titles, and not suggestive or rhetorical questions on the part of the hosts.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 150
September 12, 2013 17:10 - 3 hours - 87.5 MBAfter nearly two months, Kellen finally had a chance to sit down and discuss 2013's edition of Ai-Kon. While this will not be an unbiased review (Kellen and Jon have been members of the Planning Committee and Volunteer Corps, respectively, for some time now), it is the most detailed and all-access look you will get at Manitoba's largest anime convention.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 149
August 21, 2013 14:45 - 28 minutes - 13.2 MBIn 2004, 4Kids Entertainment licensed One Piece for English adaptation. This adaptation has the reputation of being one of the worst adaptations ever produced. In 2007, after the license was dropped by 4Kids, Funimation Entertainment acquired the license and produced their own version. Kellen has watched through a significant amount of both of these versions of the show and asks the question: While the Funimation dub is better, was what 4Kids did really as bad as most make it out to be?

July 10, 2013 14:00 - 1 hour - 44.2 MBKellen and James reach the end of Kaleido Star season one with a blast as they review the final six episodes: "The Amazing Mystery Star," "The Amazing Resolve Beneath the Mask," "The Legendary Amazing Maneuver," "The Amazing Intensive Training Continues," "An Amazing Bond," and "An Amazing Comeback." In lieu of actually doing a full review of the show's second season, New Wings, Kellen and James provide a quick rundown of why it's not being reviewed and some of the issues facing it.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 143
June 28, 2013 14:45 - 1 hour - 36.3 MBSora's friends and family make the trek across the pond and the endgame of the first season of Kaleido Star begins to take shape as Kellen and James review "An Amazing Sinister Rumor," "Fire It Up! Amazing Mia," "Yuri's Amazing Trap," "Amazing Family Ties," and "An Amazing Change From Zero to Hero."
Animezing Podcast - Episode 142
June 12, 2013 15:50 - 1 hour - 34.2 MBThe set of Kaleido Star episodes reviewed by Kellen and James today show some of the best and some of the worst that the series has to offer. "Anna's Not So Amazing Father" gives us comedy that is in no way funny. "An Amazing Hot New Production" and "The Amazing Competition Calls Up a Storm" provide some of the most awesomely ridiculous action sequences in any anime. "Mysterious Amazing Circus" has some of the worst repeating animation this side of the 1960s. And "The Diva's Amazing Love" bre...

May 31, 2013 18:10 - 1 hour - 32.9 MBIn "The Amazing Seal," Sora takes a new pet home with her, hijinks naturally ensue. "The Amazing Girl Who Doesn't Smile" introduces us to diabolo world champion Rosetta. "An Amazing Star Even in Tough Times" introduces us to Layla's emotionally distant father (shockingly, a major character with living parents in this anime). Finally, as Kellen and James continue their review through Kaleido Star, "My Amazing Challenge for the Lead Role" and "Facing an Amazing Wall" sees the beginning of Kalei...
Animezing Podcast - Episode 140
May 15, 2013 17:25 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBAfter going through a four-month downer with Nana, Kellen decides to get happy again by teaming up with James Trenchard to begin covering the amazing first season of Kaleido Star! In "My Amazing Stage Debut!" we discover the effect of jet lag in the anime universe (none, for the record). In "My Amazing & Lonely Challenge!" we discover the power of the montage. In "The Amazing Distant Stage" we begin to discover that some cliches are abounding. In "Try Hard & You'll Get an Amazing Chance" we s...
Animezing Podcast - Episode 139
May 01, 2013 19:10 - 1 hour - 50 MBIn this episode of Animezing Podcast, Kellen and Lisa review the final five episodes of Nana, and spoil most of the franchise beyond the anime. (You have been warned.) Terrible depression, the need for closure, and the announcement of the next series are all contained within. Music by Olivia Lufkin.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 138
April 19, 2013 16:25 - 1 hour - 44.9 MBIn the penultimate group of Nana episodes, Kellen and Lisa notice that every minor character is played by Richard Ian Cox, bemoan the lack of visible drugs, imagine Takumi as Eric Cartman, discuss wedding paraphernalia, and our etymology in between actual analysis. Music in this episode is from Billy Talent.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 137
April 03, 2013 06:00 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBKellen and Lisa celebrate five years of Animezing Podcast by depressing themselves greatly with the next five episodes of Nana. Two characters get engaged and move in to a lavish new apartment. Only in this show can that be made to be a horribly depressing fact. Music today is from Derek and the Dominos.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 136
March 20, 2013 15:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MBOn this very special episode of Animezing Podcast, thanks to Nana, we learn that unprotected sex plus woefully vague breakup lines don't end well. Who'da thunk it? In addition, Kellen and Lisa discuss the first round of guests announced for this years Ai-Kon. Music in this episode is from Bif Naked.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 135
March 06, 2013 14:25 - 2 hours - 60 MBKellen and Lisa are rather capricious in this episode of Animezing Podcast as they cross the halfway mark of Nana. Music today is supplied by Mr. Big.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 134
February 24, 2013 15:50 - 1 hour - 42.1 MBThis next batch of episodes of Nana score 49 out of a possible 50 points from Kellen and Lisa. Kellen sings some Kanye West, the duo discuss the method of lying to your friends, and a character drives Kellen to want to punch a voice in the throat. By the end of this we need to cheer up, so today's music is supplied by Prozzak.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 133
February 11, 2013 16:30 - 1 hour - 44.5 MBThe melodrama continues and keeps getting bigger as Kellen and Lisa review the next set of episodes from Nana. The usual complaints about Viz's treatment of the production remain, but the multiple relationship blowups, secrets being revealed, and the most screwed up 15 year old in all of anime keep the scores high. And to celebrate the breakups, we spin some No Doubt.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 132
January 23, 2013 14:25 - 1 hour - 46.1 MBIn what may be the most emotionally draining episode of Animezing Podcast to date, Kellen and Lisa review five more episodes of Nana. Kellen freaks out about a couple changes in the Western release, as well as by a particular voice actress whose character debuts. In honor of the final episode reviewed, we throw in a song from the Foo Fighters. (For those wondering, audio quality is not perfect, but better than last time.)
Animezing Podcast - Episode 131
January 09, 2013 19:20 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBFirst order of business for 2013, while this podcast is not known for its incredible production, the audio quality of this episode is "Kellen on Earth-2.net The Show episode 15" bad (first podcast for the new laptop, still working the kinks out). That said, It's Kellen Scrivens and Lisa-Marie Carlson looking at the first seven episodes of one of the most heart-destroying anime ever created: Nana. And, as a bonus to make up for things, Kellen throws in a song by The Bouncing Souls.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 130
December 12, 2012 18:40 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBAnimezing Podcast wraps up 2012 with Kellen and Hannah reviewing the final four episodes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica ("I'd Never Allow That to Happen," "I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore," "The Only Thing I Have Left to Guide Me," and "My Very Best Friend"). The hosts consider one of these episodes to be possibly one of the best pieces of anime ever produced, but to understand why, it's best you have a listen.
Animezing Podcast - Episode 129
November 30, 2012 14:20 - 1 hour - 37 MBIn "There's No Way I'll Ever Regret It," Sayaka gets her butt kicked by Kyoko, the new girl in town. In "This Just Can't Be Right," Homura appears to get through to her just a little bit. "Can You Face Your True Feelings?" sees Kyoko expressing and articulating to Sayaka why she feels how she does. And "I Was Stupid, So Stupid" shows Kyoko being there for Sayaka in her moment of need. Aside from this classic tale of the misunderstood bully, some really fucked up shit occurs in these four epis...
