Episode 172 – The Grand Return!

May 26, 2024 23:07 - 2 hours - 133 MB

Well, then. After taking an unexpected month-long break from this show, we are FINALLY back and we are FINALLY whole again with Andrew back in the saddle to give all of the shenanigans that have been sorely missed in his absence. This includes running down the spring dub casts (finally) and reading some cringy light novel summaries, and it also includes talking about some pretty cool things like a Sakamoto Days project for Netflix getting leaked out, TOONAMI REWIND on Fridays, a positive tea...

Episode 171 – The Finished Stories, Both Good and Bad.

April 28, 2024 00:06 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

Since our last episode, Cody Rhodes "finished the story" at WrestleMania to become the undisputed WWE Champion, and that's good. Sadly, also since our last episode, the overlords at MAPPA decided to finish another story by axing a long-awaited movie project after years of nothing, and that's bad. Things aren't fun, right now, and with that comes a bit of a lull in everything as this is one of the quickest episodes we've done in a very long time - there's some news about Embracer Group to tal...

Episode 170 – The Pitfalls and Depths of the Industry, Consortium-Style!

April 07, 2024 01:30 - 1 hour - 81.8 MB

As of this episode going up, we’re in the middle of WrestleMania weekend, and that means many things to many people, and it means hoping that a certain someone finally “finishes his story” on Sunday so that we can all be done hearing about it. But for us, the grind continues as we put a bow on the winter season and lament the continued cannibalism of the anime industry with a tale of what happened the last time a company or two or three went under. It was a dark time. But we also have a reca...

Episode 169 – The Spirit Carries On

March 16, 2024 22:34 - 1 hour - 90 MB

"Move well, study well, play well, eat well, rest well - that is the Turtle Master way!" "Tackle life with as much energy as Goku! I'll try to do the same!" In Memoriam Akira Toriyama 1955-2024 intro - remembering Akira Toriyama 15:55 - (other) main stories 47:34 - announcements and updates 1:24:43 - home video releases 15:55 - let’s talk about that Verge interview 24:32 - producer Kouichirou Itou arrested for lewd misconduct 28:06 - Disney hands off their home video distribution to Sony ...

Bonus Episode: End the Crunchyroll Awards.

March 03, 2024 03:30 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

No jokes, no hyperbole, nothing over-exaggerated - this "awards show" needs to go away and never come back. The corporate overlords at Crunchyroll can put together all of the window dressing they want, but if these events are going to continue awarding themselves and ignoring what the people at AniTrendz and Anime Corner and r/anime put the time and research into awarding then they'll be talked about in an equal manner - with corporate-focused cynicism and exhausted apathy with a whole bunch...

Episode 168 – The February of Our Discourse Discontent.

February 20, 2024 21:55 - 1 hour - 73 MB

As we inch closer and closer out of the winter doldrums, we find more and more cases of rabid internet discourse popping up and it just makes us ask one thing: whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. We don't like talking about these things, but alas, it is our duty to discuss certain elements of discussion with these topics, namely the topic of what NOT to do when you're working on a major anime dub production (yes, THAT) as well as the unknown future of a post-Funimation world with that side of the service set...

Episode 167 – The Fate-ful Winter Payday!

February 07, 2024 00:39 - 1 hour - 90.7 MB

HEADS UP: some of the audio is a little crunchy. Weird things happened with some of the recording. We’ll try to not let that happen next time. The sluggish days of winter are here and we're all feeling it around here. We're all a bit tired and we're still trying to wade through our shifting schedules, so pardon any additional dust around here as we work to make the best of an ever-evolving situation. In the meantime, while there are some serious matters to discuss here, there are also a bit...

Episode 166 – The 2-For-1 Bonanza Blitz!

January 23, 2024 21:49 - 3 hours - 170 MB

Welcome to 2024 and welcome to a new year of this stilly dog-and-pony show we do every so often. We're back in a big way, basically putting together two whole shows in one, recounting the fall season and 2023 as a whole while looking forward to "award season" in one certain aspect and going through the latest pants-filling announcements from Discotek media - one such announcement was very "berserk" in a way, hint hint. And along the way, we've got news on the next show premiering on Toonami ...

Episode 165 – The Year Jump Festa Went Crazy!

December 25, 2023 00:07 - 2 hours - 142 MB

As 2023 comes to an end, you all may have varying feelings about the year as a whole. For some it was good, for others it was bad, and for the rest it was just very... meh. But we hope to leave the year for all of you on a better note, namely with about two and a half hours of anime discussion to listen to while you're all doing things during your Christmas holiday. Namely, a good bit of wild announcements from Jump Festa across the board, some interesting bits from Netflix regarding what pe...

Episode 164 – Yet Another New York Minute!

November 27, 2023 02:58 - 2 hours - 148 MB

After a long Thanksgiving weekend, the grind continues onward - if only for one more week as Anime NYC was quite the event to look back on as opposed to the litany of terrible news we have to go through on this episode. We're all really just limping to the end of the year, in a way. But we carry on, if only for our own sense of self-worth and in honor of the greatest man who ever lived: Kento Nanami. May he find his happiness on the beaches of Malaysia for the rest of time, and may the psych...

The Black Friday Discotek Day Marathon! (Best-Of)

November 24, 2023 19:34 - 8 hours - 487 MB

Happy Black Friday and/or Small Business Saturday and/or Cyber Monday - the best time of the year for reckless spending on random stuff nobody really needs but the deals are just way too good to pass up - and to help bide the time while you're out shopping (or endlessly browsing Amazon) here's a very long best-of compilation of our past "Discotek Day" events for you all to listen and look back on... for nearly NINE HOURS. Now, in response to the question of "but WHY tho?" the answer is simpl...

Episode 163 – An Unprecedented F-ing Up & The Final Finale… Maybe?

November 03, 2023 22:02 - 1 hour - 82.6 MB

November is here, the fall season is in full swing, and things have been pretty quiet for a bit all over the place, which means it's the right time for someone to screw up in spectacular fashion. There are not-so-kind words being sent out to a certain voice talent over how a certain recent situation played out, and our punches aren't being pulled in this case because WOW this was bad. But, in happier news, Toonami has things worth talking about again, (most of) the fall season dub casts are ...

Episode 162 – The Spooktacular Surprises!

October 22, 2023 23:44 - 2 hours - 159 MB

Well THIS sure became a meaty show, didn't it? Between the offerings and goings-on at New York Comic Con, Crunchyroll doing a bit of good and QUITE a bit of bad (you all know what it is), and another fantastic Discotek Day event happening, there's quite a lot to get to in this show. There's also a neat rundown of the dub cast for The Boy and the Heron, a pair of curious manga anecdotes to take a laugh or two at, even more manga and light novel announcements, and ALL of the goods that Discote...

Episode 161 – The Devilishly Dashing Drops!

October 08, 2023 22:09 - 1 hour - 107 MB

For this go-around, we've got a little bit of everything for everyone here - big announcements, business news, recapping a MID season, terrible bullcrap nobody likes, hilarious overreactions from light novel and manga announcements, and even a terrible correction to what we thought was something cool from the last show, only to find out it was all a multi-tiered mistake that was never going to happen to begin with. Such is life, in a way. But at least there's a cool Devil May Cry project com...

Episode 160 – It’s Kagurabachi’n Time!

September 25, 2023 21:46 - 1 hour - 99.4 MB

(Producer’s note: this episode is late due to a very busy week. Apologies for the delay.) Have you all heard about the smash hit new shonen series Kagurabachi? It's gotten three anime seasons, two movies, and has sold one trillion copies of its manga - it's the new MORBIUS SWEEP... okay, jokes and memes aside, sometimes Morbius-meme-ing a series can work, but we'll see in the coming weeks and months if Kagurabachi has the legs to live on in the pages of Jump. And along with talking about th...

Episode 159 – The Surprisingly Successful Voyage!

September 09, 2023 21:04 - 1 hour - 64.6 MB

As was made famous on an episode of The Simpsons many years ago, it was the best of times and the BLURST of times. In the case of the former, it's the smashing success of One Piece on Netflix - and yes, it IS good - but in the latter, it's a crash-and-burn of a supposed upstart company with too much ambition and not enough capital. Such is life, in a way. As for what it all means for this show, it doesn't mean a whole lot, but this IS the shortest show we've done in quite a while as not a lo...

Episode 158 – The Heat of an Off Day!

August 26, 2023 16:21 - 1 hour - 89.2 MB

In Memory "Bray Wyatt" Windham Rotunda 1987-2023 The summer heat is still lingering around and it's affecting all of us in various ways. Namely, we were all a bit off on some things today, like forgetting certain voice actors' roles or figuring out whether or not Sentai's upcoming Familiar Of Zero rerelease has the season one dub because of website formatting. Here's to cooler temperatures coming sooner for all of us because we could use it, but in the meantime we have some looks at the upc...

Episode 157 – The Digital Wizardry Unleashed!

August 06, 2023 21:40 - 2 hours - 139 MB

Otakon has come and gone, and in its wake... well, we think you all already know what happened. Quite a bit of things were brought to the table from Discotek, including some very unexpected good news in the form of absolute mental wizardry and devout dedication to the craft of Digimon - with one notable omission, of course. We're all pretty excited, too. And we made sure to dedicate some time to The First Slam Dunk and its amazing... well, everything, as well as the dub casts for a rather pa...

Episode 156 – The Comic-Sized Revelations!

July 30, 2023 00:24 - 2 hours - 130 MB

So who could have guessed that an actor strike would mean San Diego Comic-Con would end up being more like the SDCCs of old? With that, so too comes quite a bit of announcements, namely from the likes of Adult Swim and Crunchyroll as it relates to this program. We also take a brief look back at the spring season now that it's been over for a month, show our surprising optimism for the Netflix One Piece series with its new trailer, go through quite a bit of Dengeki Bunko event announcements, ...

Episode 155 – The Striking Convention Menagerie! (Part 2)

July 09, 2023 21:59 - 1 hour - 97.9 MB

It’s that time of year again, when the convention season meets its apex in Los Angeles for the cluster-mess known as Anime Expo - where all of your dreams may not come true but there’s bound to be some cool announcements. In the second of this two-part episode, we continue with the rest of the first day of AX with even MORE manga to go through, and afterwards we roam through the rest of the convention for some questionable discussions, curious yet head-scratching reveals, and a LOT of One Pi...

Episode 154 – The Striking Convention Menagerie! (Part 1)

July 08, 2023 21:50 - 2 hours - 114 MB

It’s that time of year again, when the convention season meets its apex in Los Angeles for the cluster-mess known as Anime Expo - where all of your dreams may not come true but there’s bound to be some cool announcements. In the first part of this two-part episode, there is some pre-AX news to go over as well as a Discotek stream to recap - which had some interesting announcements in its own right - before kicking off with the first day of Anime Expo… well, most of the first day, anyway, sin...

Episode 153 – The Summertime Reload!

June 24, 2023 22:30 - 2 hours - 117 MB

Welcome to summer, where it's hot and muggy and probably storming three times a week. While you're all dealing with the humid heat, stay inside and enjoy our not-always-luminous voices going through the last bit of news bits before Anime Expo happens and we're all spending hours and hours dissecting every major announcement to come from it. We also talk about how great Across the Spider-Verse* is, how *meh* the third season of Demon Slayer really was, the vibes of the Netflix One Piece trail...

Episode 152 – The Contrasting Conflict Conundrum

June 04, 2023 21:02 - 2 hours - 127 MB

It's June, and that means certain grown-ass people will be throwing a conniption fit over everything and everyone. But for us here, that means only one month until Anime Expo, and also a bit of a lull until then, so we'll be spending the month looking around for some interesting stories to talk about. In this case, said stories of interest include a strange revelation of a Death Note MUSICAL, a look at the manga and novel sales numbers halfway through the year, a not-great update on Kodansha...

Episode 151 – The Bombastic Bombs Away!

May 21, 2023 23:55 - 2 hours - 122 MB

You know what's great about double entendres? They always apply more than one way, and in this case, it's about a bad movie and a bad manga application. Because why go for easy success when failure is an option too? And along with talking about bad failures, we also like to talk about good things, like good shows getting a good dub cast, good shows getting a second chance on home video (in some regions), good cases of lost media being discovered, and good manga platforms coming out of the wo...

Episode 150 – The Slow Milestone!/Movie Night: Suzume

April 30, 2023 21:47 - 2 hours - 147 MB

Even we can't believe we made it to 150 shows. It doesn't even feel like it's been that long, but alas. What a wild journey it's been, and it's still not over yet, and to commemorate this milestone... well, the newsroom was slower than usual over the past few weeks. So, the executive decision was made to bring back a time-trued time-killer in recounting the spring 2023 season dub casts and tack on a full Movie Night show, as well - one for the latest film from Makoto Shinkai, SUZUME. "'Til...

Episode 149 – The Springtime Convention Kickoff!

April 17, 2023 00:38 - 2 hours - 155 MB

Well, it took a month, but all of us are back in the swing of things, and not a moment too soon either - Sakura-Con, Anime Boston, AND AnimeJapan 2023 all happened and they brought their own slew of announcements to the table for us to sift through and discuss. And to go along with that, we have another dabble in the wild world of lost media, our brief thoughts on the now-over winter season, plenty of non-AnimeJapan project announcements that run the gamut of quality, and Sentai coming out w...

Bonus Episode: WrestleMania Weekend

April 06, 2023 00:46 - 1 hour - 67.6 MB

Well this is certainly something different. Thanks to some scheduling snafus on all of our ends, we haven't been able to do a normal show for a while, and with nearly a month passed since our last show this brings us to an emergency last-minute bonus show: an hour and change of rambling about the world of live-action anime known as professional wrestling. All of the good and bad of WrestleMania weekend, the biggest weekend of the wrestling industry, from the exciting matches to the baffling ...

Episode 148 – The Crunchyroll APATHY Awards: Corporate Edition.

March 11, 2023 23:32 - 2 hours - 132 MB

“It’s almost like big companies make the worst crap.” - Wade “DankPods” Nixon We try to move past the Crunchyroll Anime Awards show thing, and every year we find ourselves sinking deeper and deeper into its aura of apathy. We don't criticize these events out of a place of bad faith or spite, we do it because we know this company can be so much better, but it seems like wishing for the best isn't what's best for business because these shows keep happening. At least we have more fun and more ...

Episode 147 – The Galactic Legacy!

February 26, 2023 01:39 - 2 hours - 115 MB

Some shows have a central theme that dictate how the rest of the episode will play out, and some shows don't have a real theme to it and are just a hodgepodge of "stuff" to talk about. This is the latter, as we discuss the legacy of Leiji Matsumoto and some questionable future plans from Toei, more continued production delays, whatever this new Zoids project is, and another round of "internet translators are loud and annoying and need to let the adults work" - as one does, you see. Also, PLU...

Episode 146 – The Delightful Batch of Honey!

February 12, 2023 02:44 - 2 hours - 121 MB

You ever have one of THOSE kinds of weeks? Feels like it was one of those weeks for everyone this week, but with the Super Bowl imminent there's no better way to get ready for it than to listen to 2 hours of anime talk - trust us, it's way better than 7 hours of pregame coverage. And for this particular edition, we have a pretty hefty DISCOTEK DAY to go through, some choice words from an anime legend on some projects with his name attached to, a bit of an elephant in regards to a new Gundam ...

Episode 145 – The Perplexing Season Padding Plan… AGAIN.

January 29, 2023 01:43 - 2 hours - 128 MB

Many years ago, people were comparing Attack on Titan to The Walking Dead in tone and structure. Today, those comparisons continue, only… wait, this is how an episode from last year started off. Well, it happened again, in even more stupefying fashion if you can believe it. And to go along with that, we have what’s become an annual tradition at this point: trying to make sense of the Crunchyroll Anime Awards nominations list. But at least we have Discotek Day happening on Monday, and that al...

Episode 144 – The New Year… But The Same Us!

January 15, 2023 03:36 - 2 hours - 142 MB

Well, we've made it to 2023. Somehow. In commemoration of this achievement, we're getting back to what we do sort-of best: small town college anime club-styled radio. Admit it, you've missed us, too. And to get back into the swing of things, we have something everyone enjoys: LISTS. And a good number of them, recounting the things that came out in the year prior, from the good and bad to the curiously headscratching. As per usual when we return from an extended break, please pardon our dust ...

Episode 143 – A Limited New York Minute! (Season X1 Finale)

November 25, 2022 18:22 - 2 hours - 143 MB

After a rather eventful month (to say the least), we close things out for the season - and the year - a bit early with a rundown of what happened at Anime NYC with a spoiler: A PLACE FURTHER THAN THE UNIVERSE DUB IS HAPPENING. And along with that, we have confirmed locks for HiDive and Crunchyroll, a pair of shows coming in 2023 that are both interesting and not, and there's a new world champion around these parts - after a 25 year chase. Thanks for listening throughout the year. We'll catc...

Episode 142 – The Month-Behind Catchup Episode!

November 15, 2022 20:17 - 3 hours - 183 MB

In Memoriam Kevin Conroy 1955-2022 It’s been about a month since our last main show so that means one thing: a LOT of catching up to do for every aspect of the industry. From weird and interesting new anime announcements to changes in a few business sectors, upcoming dubs and upcoming sequel seasons, weird ventures into the real world, and the biggest thing of the last few weeks: the latest DISCOTEK DAY that had a little bit of something for everybody. And that also means this show will be ...

Episode 137 – The Cataclysmic Combo-Breaker! (Season X1 Premiere)

September 16, 2022 21:17 - 2 hours - 119 MB

It has been one month since our last main episode, and while some things are changing around here some things will remain the same - namely, the "season" gimmick and the non-sequitur titles and pictures. Those aren't ever going away. And to kick off this new run of shows, we have a discovery of a long-lost Saban pitch pilot, how a big summer show flew too close to the sun and has been punted to restart in fall, a curiously interesting deal between Netflix and NTV worth keeping an eye out on,...

Movie Night: Dragon Ball Super – Super Hero

August 26, 2022 20:48 - 1 hour - 108 MB

Back at it a bit too long since our last special movie episode, it's time to take in the bombastic and earth-shattering awe of the latest anime blockbuster in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero! Witness the glory of domesticated Piccolo, the cuteness of young Pan, what Wario would sound like as a mob boss and what Tanjiro would sound like as a mad scientist, and the greatest (or dumbest, perspective will vary) version of Gohan yet. intro - movies, movies, and more movies 6:19 - DBS: Super Hero -...

Episode 136 – The Summertime Prequel to the Fall! (Season 10 Finale)

August 20, 2022 19:02 - 2 hours - 134 MB

Yeah, the whole "numbered seasons" gimmick is still going. Couldn't tell you why, it's just an organizational thing. And speaking of seasons, the summer season is in full swing, even if it's a bit "ehhhhh" in comparison to others, but maybe that's by design because of what's coming up in the fall. Namely, TOO MUCH. But until then, we have a more lax summer season to discuss, weaving through some more average titles to find some diamonds in the dull rough, conspicuously sitting next to a more...

Episode 135 – The Grande Convention Haul!

August 08, 2022 20:58 - 2 hours - 163 MB

The month of July has come and gone, and as we look back on it we can say that it was a pretty strange and wild month across the board. But as the dog days of summer trek onward, so does this show, with plenty of big convention announcements and dub casts for the roll call of the season - and even some extra bits that show that Crunchyroll is just doing way, way, WAY too much for us to keep track of. There will also be some harsh and profane words spoken about a *certain* individual. And ye...

Episode 134 – The Grand AX Return! (Part 2)

July 10, 2022 19:56 - 1 hour - 98.2 MB

NOTE: This show was recorded before news of the passings of Kazuki Takahashi and Shinzo Abe. After three years since its last in-person event, Anime Expo had its grand return on the big stage, and to the surprise of few it’s still as imperfect as ever with how the event is actually run and managed. Especially since it’s in Los Angeles in JULY. Nevertheless, this means another extended deep dive at the happenings, goings-on, and announcements from AX 2022, of which there were quite a few tha...

Episode 133 – The Grand AX Return! (Part 1)

July 09, 2022 20:01 - 1 hour - 105 MB

NOTE: This show was recorded before news of the passings of Kazuki Takahashi and Shinzo Abe. After three years since its last in-person event, Anime Expo had its grand return on the big stage, and to the surprise of few it's still as imperfect as ever with how the event is actually run and managed.

Episode 132 – The Flame Burning Eternal

June 22, 2022 23:11 - 2 hours - 159 MB

In Memoriam Billy Kametz 1987-2022 There's been a lot happening over the past few weeks, some good and some not so good. We're here to run everything down, express our jubilation over a few new projects, catch up on some things you and all of us may have missed, and pay our respects to a kind and warm soul taken from this world far too soon. We'll be back to the usual mishaps and shenanigans next time. intro - summer heat everywhere 2:57 - remembering Billy Kametz 15:20 - additional June p...

Episode 131 – The Hunter’s Emergence!

June 04, 2022 22:24 - 2 hours - 141 MB

Are you all ready for a super-deluxe-loaded fall season? We sure aren't, which is why we're all hoping for the summer season to be a bit easier for us so that we can lead into fall with a bit more ease - though that's not going to be easy with several big shows slated for premiere in October. And with the approach of summer comes convention season, with industry panels big and small and, in this case, a bit Discotek-y as well. Let's hope that Anime Expo won't leave us melting in the summer h...

Episode 130 – The SPRING x RUNDOWN!

May 23, 2022 21:43 - 3 hours - 195 MB

After some additional delays and time needed to get our spring season rundown ready, it’s finally here, and it’s another extra-packed edition that, somehow, managed to find 10 minutes to talk about the trash known as Trapped In A Dating Sim. Don’t ask us how it happens. But that’s not what you’re all here for, you’re here for the biggest new hotness since the last biggest new hotness, and we will be talking all about the spies and the families along with some big sequel titles, other notable...

Episode 129 – The Spring Dub Rundown Bonanza!

May 03, 2022 16:46 - 2 hours - 140 MB

With our last show before diving into the spring season, it's only fitting that we have a giant slate of spring season dub casts to run down for this show - hence the surprised Anya face to serve as Andrew's exhaustion over cobbling together all of that information. And along with that, we have a wide discussion over Netflix's very bad week, some movie talk over what and what not to go see, pondering how deep that mysterious Blu-ray master vault really goes, and trying to find a way to end t...

Episode 128 – The Perplexing Season Padding Plan… PAIN.

April 15, 2022 15:16 - 2 hours - 114 MB

Many years ago, people were comparing Attack on Titan to The Walking Dead in tone and structure. Today, those comparisons continue, only in a different form with its recent announcement. But to go along with that bafflement, there’s a lengthy discussion on some other rumblings in relation to the anime dub production scene as the spring season prepares to launch, along with some interesting updates to various productions, the latest one-shot from the cinematic auteur known as Tatsuki Fujimoto...

Episode 127 – The Announcement Barrage & The Spring Ruminations!

April 05, 2022 20:38 - 2 hours - 158 MB

April means many things to many people, but in this case it means the end of the winter season and a long list of announcements to talk about from AnimeJapan, in which there were plenty - for good and bad - to go along with the usual rundown of Netflix projects getting revealed and dated, a small bit go house-cleaning of the winter season, an assessment of some good and awful April Fools shenanigans, and maybe, just maybe, some cursed energy sprinkled throughout. All very sudden and all unw...

Movie Night: Jujutsu Kaisen 0

March 27, 2022 23:16 - 1 hour - 95.6 MB

It's time for another installment in the Movie Night sub-series, this time talking about the latest shonen blockbuster gracing the big screen: Jujutsu Kaisen 0! And with it comes an interesting twist to the discussion, as two in-the-know fans talk with two new-ish-comers about how the world of JJK actually works, all while having fine discussions about salmon, kelp, and Christmas; yes, this is an unofficial Christmas movie, that's just how it works. start - intro 8:03 - our theater experien...

Episode 126 – The Anniversary of Discotent!

March 23, 2022 01:26 - 2 hours - 151 MB

The lesson of Toonami turning 25 is that, in 2022, people will yell over everything they do, be it for the good or bad or indifferent. But that's where this show comes in, to lay out a grounded overview of what to expect from the block in the future, be it for the good or bad or indifferent. And along with that lengthy discussion, there are more details over the Crunchyroll-Funimation whatever-it-is and what to (not) expect going forward, information regarding the Toei hack, more details on ...

Episode 125 – The Week of Consortiums!

March 06, 2022 23:19 - 2 hours - 150 MB

So... yeah, it's been a busy week just about everywhere for everything. But as it relates to this subsection of the world, things are about to get a lot more consolidated with the house of Sony. Expect things to be clunky for a while, as we lay out our various questions and concerns in our lengthy discussion of the final form of FuniRoll 2.0. Such is life in this weird and strange world, some would say. And along with that, we also have an array of upcoming shows and movies to discuss, plent...
