POPULARITY
Many samurai movies have kind of come and gone in Japanese cinema – both in live action and animated varieties. And while some leave a lasting impression on Nippon's cinematic industry, others are forgotten - not because they are bad - but often due to simple things such as bad release windows, limited advertising budget or extremely limited availability after release.This week's episode is all about one of the later – a cinematic, action packed, animated samurai film, set in the gritty Sengoku period, with a dash of China's Wuxia storytelling thrown on top of beautiful, hand-crafted animation at Studio Bones.Does Sword of the Stranger of tread a new path compared to other Samurai tales? No – but it truly does not need to. If you love samurai tales like the gritty remake of Dororo or even the bombastic Samurai Champloon, this is 2 hours you'll be glad you spent watching this amazing film.P.S: We're almost back to our normal release schedule folks – Patreon content will start dropping this weekend!

After a celebrated run at international film festivals, the anime movie adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka's All You Need is Kill is now available to buy digitally – and hopefully should land on streaming platforms soon. So how does this re-imagining of the light novel compare to the Hollywood adaptation – Edge of Tomorrow – and even its own manga adaptation? Honestly? It doesn't. But it's not because it's bad – it's a whole new take on the story.

The Criterion Collection just added the K-ON movie to their catalogue, cementing it as a classic anime film for the ages. That said, they only have 5 anime titles in the collection, so we'll take it with a grain of salt lol.However, it's a great excuse for us to revisit an iconic Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) anime from the early 2000's!So, does K-On hold up to current audience expectations? Or does its meandering, slice of life pacing made it harder for current audiences to enjoy? Join us as we share our thoughts, dig into the series history and explain why the series ended despite its huge popularity.Also, BIG apologies on the delayed recording and release - illnesses, travel for work and scheduling conflicts made this episode a real struggle to get out. Our next 2 releases may see delays due to Kyle travelling extensively for work over the next 6 weeks, but we'll keep you in the loop!

Freshmen's Log When? 2026 Nani? Freshie Awards Why? Keeping it Fresh It's that time of year again when we host the annual AF Freshie Awards and turn our expert caps backwards a la Ash Ketchum when he's about to once again choose the worst suited Pokémon for a crucial all-out battle. In line with this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards, we'll let you know who will, might, won't, and maybe even can't win their respective categories, making sure that, with man like @jaysamzlive from @shownentell in the cut (appreciate you bro), the takes are spicy, the verdicts are potentially crazy, and the vybz Gachiakuta.

At Kawaii-Fi we wouldn't describe ourselves as "sporty" people - shocking we know! But every now and then, a sports anime will bring people in from all areas of the anime fandom.We've seen it happen with Haikyu and Slam Dunk, and we may have another one to add to the list.100 Meters dropped on Netflix late last year after a widely praised run at film festivals around the globe. So what's the deal?Utilising everything from hand drawn art and rotoscoping to modern animation techniques, this unique film follows several young sprinters throughout their careers, sharing a unique perspective on the sport - and it's a very engaging watch!Watch it here: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81785821SUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi NEWS ITEMSStudio KAI Announces Insolvency Due to Deficit The Last Airbender Leaked Online.

Afrikan Families are a Treasure, but not for the weak. So much so that 'laughing at the pain' is an unofficial right of passage. But how do these experiences mesh with the medium that is Anime?

This episode is long overdue, because we've all seen a cosplay so on point that we instantly thought 'NANI'?!?', and we almost got GTA6 before getting to deep dive into the Grand Line that is Cosplaying. And to get that in-depth, expert perspective on what it means to turn imagination into a life-sized Tanjiro with Nezuko in box, we had to get the Cosplay Royalty that is @Folacosplays, with all the tips, tricks, and vybz that we know and love her for, showing why it's not just a costume, it's a passion.

What happens when anime podcasters get sucked into not one—but three chaotic fantasy worlds ruled by spinning wheels and terrible life choices? In this special episode of Isekai Roulette, our hosts become the unfortunate heroes (or villains?) of randomized realms, armed with bizarre powers, cursed roles, and only podcast mics to their name. Expect wild world-hopping, questionable decisions, and magic systems we barely understand. Whether it's battling slime gods, negotiating with undead kings, or trying to find Wi-Fi in a dungeon, this is isekai madness like you've never heard before.

From Fame and Fandom to Final Forms, from Hollywood to Hidden Leaf, do celebs really Go Plus Ultra for Anime? Main Episode: In this episode, we are talking about celebrity anime fans and what we think about them bringing anime to the “mainstream” Do we feel these people are legitimately into anime or is it for ‘clout'? How would we gauge if it's genuine? Have we seen any celebs getting involved in the anime community? Do we know if they show up at conventions? Do they only do stuff if it's paid? How would we express our anime fandom if we were a celeb? Are we loud with it or under wraps? Would it influence the work that we take on? Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Have you ever dreamt of being Spirited Away? If I asked you, would you tell me Your Name? Forever elusive, not unlike a Ninja Scroll. Perhaps you're the Neo-Tokyo to my Akira. And yet, a Ghost in the Shell is worth two in the hand. All in all, keep calm and patient, until The Cat Returns. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

“Calling all cars, calling all cars. Be on the lookout for another Skynet Review episode, approximately drunk with power and making picks at random...” We close out this edition of Skynet with an anime that defies expectation, logic, reason, and plot. No description does it justice. A girl and her father, mixed with powers and comedy somehow. We present Hinamatsuri. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

A hallowed tradition that reigns supreme within the Freshmen lore is a Night of reasoning; a meeting of the minds; a parlay of perspectives. We call it Quiz Night. Once again, the Freshmen test their Anime credentials against all challengers in a serie of challenges, this time against ourselves. How it went? If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

The Geeks finally bring three new anime to the table to recommend to each other that we've slept on. We'll check back on those in the new year. We also go over some hot topics and other musings.
Episode 472: This week Nick and Som throwdown some cool recommendations for your Spoopy and Scary needs. Halloween party? Quite Hallows Night with your partner? Or with a small group of friends? Check out these recs!
Basil Barrington and DJ Keo are back. We just watched the 1987 anime film Wicked City on Amazon, and while it's a great example of classic horror anime with incredible visuals, you really need to pack your sensibilities for this one. The story is gripping and the animation style is top-notch, but the film's depiction of women is problematic, leaving us conflicted. Join us as we discuss what we loved about Wicked City, what held it back, and why it's still worth a watch for mature audiences.You can check out clips and full video episodes on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/behindthegroove
This week the nerds start off by talking about Deep Deuce Grill then they get into a bit of nostalgia by talking about strategy guides and PlayStation's 30th Anniversary bundle.
