Podcasts about Crunchyroll

Man könnte meinen, diese Season wirkt nur deshalb so bescheiden, weil sie zwischen zwei absoluten Ausnahme-Seasons gequetscht ist. Doch der Eindruck täuscht nicht: Sie ist tatsächlich sehr schwach. Und als wäre das nicht genug: Crunchyroll hat passend zum Season-Start mit mehreren Negativpunkten die Anime-Community erst einmal ordentlich gegen sich aufgebracht. Während sonst das Problem beim neuen Format ist, sich nur auf sechs Titel beschränken zu müssen, hatten Julian und Lukas dieses Mal Schwierigkeiten, überhaupt sechs Titel zu finden, die sich lohnen zu besprechen. Die finale Season von "My Hero Academia" ist natürlich gesetzt, bei der neuen Staffel "Spy x Family" ist man gespannt, welche Story-Progression neben den Spaß-Chaptern diesmal kommt, und "To Your Eternity" Staffel 3 hat mit seinem neuen Setting zumindest interessante Aspekte. Danach wird es aber dürftig. Lukas bleibt sich zumindest treu und präsentiert zum zweiten Mal in Folge einen Horror-Anime mit einem homosexuellen Paar. Und obwohl es Otome-Isekai in dieser Season gab, ist sich Julian unsicher, ob "Who Made Me Princess" es verdient hat, hier besprochen zu werden.

We're back in Kyoto again to look at another new work from our friends at Kyoto Animation: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: A Lonely Dragon Wants To Be Loved, the feature film sequel to the beloved (and bizarre) slice-of-life TV comedy. Originally directed by Takemoto Yasuhiro in its first season before his tragic death in the 2019 arson attack, the series originally returned for a second season directed by KyoAni stalwart Ishihara Tatsuya, who again takes the helm for this film sequel. But with a more focused and bombastic story centering on the character Kanna, with much of the action taking place in the dragon realm, A Lonely Dragon Wants To Be Loved proves an even better fit for Ishihara's talents than the TV series was, making for a surprisingly exciting and affecting film that delivers astonishing animation and some big emotional reactions. With the film now having screened in the US thanks to Crunchyroll, we break it all down, and look forward to the next era of Kyoto Animation as this one draws to a close. Enjoy! Time Chart:Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:30Intro and History: 0:01:12 – 0:52:17Eyecatch Break: 0:52:17 – 0:53:01Movie Review: 0:53:01 – 2:04:08End Theme: 2:04:08 – 2:05:09Subscribe to our YouTube channels! Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastRead Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.comRead Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vK“Welcome to Japanimation Station” – Music by Thomas Lack, Lyrics by Sean Chapman, featuring Hatsune Miku. “Happily Ever After” – Music & Lyrics by Thomas Lack, featuring Hatsune Miku. https://www.thomaslack.com 

This week we have a special guests guests CJ and Artsy from Anime Anonymous and we kick things off with a small discussion about “what counts as anime,” then we dive into Arcane Season 1 and how it is framed around the undercity vs. topside divide with the main characters Vi and Powder's break that births Jinx, and how well the show is even if you've never played the game. The biggest part is that it was done in a three-episode arc rollout, ruthless cliffhangers, the music that was amazing and the story and character development was amazing for the show we finally hit Hextech vs. Shimmer, talk about the pacing with the flashbacks. And then we finally pick favorites get called: Rick picks Ekko, Jack and CJ pick Jinx, Artsy picks Vi. About the anime: Set in the League of Legends universe, Arcane follows sisters Vi and Powder as a class struggle between the undercity of Zaun and the gleaming city of Piltover boils over. Scientific breakthroughs around Hextech collide with crime, politics, and family fractures, pushing Powder toward the chaotic persona of Jinx while Vi fights to hold onto what's left of their bond. Next Week's Pick: "Arcane Season 2" Have you had the chance to watch Arcane Season 1 or any of our previous selections? We'd love to hear your thoughts and recommendations for future picks!

The cult chaos of Panty & Stocking crashes back into our feeds, and we're sorting the sparks from the smoke. We pull apart what made season one a nine-out-of-ten riot—cartoon shell, anime soul, and that iconic Anarchy cue—and why season two, despite Trigger's hyper stylized flair, feels sleeker but softer around the edges. Think Newgrounds energy filtered through modern sensibilities: the parodies still pop, the transformations still dazzle, yet the writing sometimes swaps sharp character beats for a stack of cameos.We dig into the big swings and the pulled punches. The Demon Sisters get the glow‑up they deserved, turning every run‑in into a proper rivalry with real chemistry, while the new angel bros speak fluent Gen Z with reckless confidence. At the same time, the reworked tone clips one of the series' most provocative threads: Garterbelt. Instead of reinventing him with a clear arc, season two trims him down to scolding and scheming, and the absence of a meaningful rewrite is felt. We're not arguing for old shock value; we're arguing for better writing—replacing retired gags with growth, consequence, and character‑driven humor.Along the way, we connect the dots between Drawn Together, South Park, Clone High, and the broader “sanitized reboot” era. We debate the art of endings, the danger of cliffhangers with no plan, and why some shows—like Edgerunners or Scott Pilgrim Takes Off—achieve cult status by knowing when to bow out. Our final read: season one remains essential viewing; season two is a lively, good‑looking return that needs sharper teeth and bolder stakes to stand shoulder to shoulder with its predecessor.If you love meta‑comedy, messy angels, and demon rivalries done right, press play and tell us where you land.

What do you do when a show quietly erases its own first season? We dig into Demon Lord Retry and make the case for a rare watch order: skip straight to season two. From the opening minutes, we break down why the “continuation” acts like a do-over—restoring character arcs, tightening the lore, and reframing the central conflict around control, authorship, and identity.We unpack Akira's reveal as the creator inhabiting his avatar, Hakuto Kunai, and why the amulet twist matters: power literally changes hands mid-battle, turning every fight into a moral pivot. Zero's origin as a dragonborn hero designed by Akira's younger self transforms a flashy alter into commentary on ego, youth, and the cost of absolute certainty. Luna finally gets her due with a fully earned backstory—her bond with Eagle, the weight of demi-human prejudice, and a fifth-tier spell that reads as character payoff rather than spectacle. Around them, church politics, slavery rings, and a vampire rematch expand the world without the filler haze that clouded season one.We also look at the “tech as magic” economy: wells that never run dry, rare goods that fund an oasis, and a second boss phase that drags enemies into a game-arena where design is destiny. It's still a mid-tier ride—an honest 6.5—with pacing taxed by the need to fix what came before, but the ideas finally land. If you've bounced off the series or wondered where to start, this guide lays out the cleanest path, the key upgrades, and the moments that actually hit.Enjoy the breakdown?

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesDuring a recent round of interviews with various comic-centric YouTube channels last week, James Gunn seemingly revealed that despite rampant speculation, his DCU is not building toward the character of Darkseid as a “big bad”. As to why he's not pursuing what many fans might argue is the obvious direction for the studio, he cited the efforts of the comic book cinematic universes that paved the way for his own, saying, "Using Darkseid as the big bad now is not necessarily the thing... because Zack did it so cool in his way and because of Thanos and Marvel." Gunn expanded his thoughts on both, acknowledging some of the shortcomings of the DCEU and detailing how similar Thanos and Darkseid are that it wouldn't feel fresh for audiences. While Marvel has yet to confirm the much-discussed Scarlet Witch's return to the MCU, in a new interview with beauty, fashion and pop culture outlet InStyle, Elizabeth Olsen reiterated that she's ready to step back into the role. "It's ridiculous," she said of making MCU movies. "We're grown people behaving like children on a playground. We're flying. We're shooting things out of our hands. And it's a character that I've gotten to return to so many times over 10 years. It's good to put her down and then I miss her, and I want her back. I'd jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again." Last week, Netflix revealed its plans to release the feature-length finale of Stranger Things' final season in theaters, reversing course after the streamer had previously rejected the Duffer Brothers' theatrical release pitch. Theaters will screen the finale starting Dec. 31 at 5 p.m. PT — coinciding with its global Netflix debut — and continuing through Jan. 1, 2026. Disney+ will begin streaming The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Nov. 5, following the film's $521 million worldwide box office haul over the summer.Over the weekend, Sony's Crunchyroll released Chainsaw Man – The Movie, which topped the domestic box office with $17.2 million and reached $108 million globally. Black Phone 2 continued its solid run, surpassing $80 million worldwide. Regretting You debuted in third place with a better-than-expected $22.9 million, while the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere disappointed with $16.1 million in its opening weekend.Paramount Pictures is finalizing a deal to acquire Ti West's adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, with Johnny Depp set to play Ebenezer Scrooge. The film will release on November 13, 2026.Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler are in talks to star in Joseph Kosinski‘s big-screen reboot of Miami Vice.Sony Pictures Animation will produce a sequel to its 2021 Oscar-nominated feature The Mitchells vs. the Machines. Production is expected to begin early next year.IMAX has unveiled its planned releases for 2026 at an Investor Presentation and at this moment, Spider-Man Brand New Day is not included in the lineup. The film will be released on July 31, which means it's debuting right in the middle of a pretty crowded IMAX season: the live-action Moana and The Odyssey are arriving on July 10 and July 17, respectively.Disney has officially exited its partnership with the BBC on Doctor Who after two years. For now, the BBC does plan to air an upcoming Christmas special next year and then continue the series on the network.Captain America star Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have welcomed their first child, a girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans

Welcome to episode 158! We suddenly remembered it's October, so time for some "horror." But it's kinda... bad. And it's called Calamity of a Zombie Girl.

This week we dive into Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2 and we spent most of the time talking about the teaching arc like why that first “demo” bout with Shiki was about earning respect and not scaring off the students, whether Makoto's class were troublemakers or just talented misfits, and how that whole school stretches into bigger geopolitical plot points; we also pulled in manga-only context that patched the anime's fuzzy bits, like humans getting language as a goddess “gift” so it helped explain why he thought he couldn't speak it. From there we spiral into some of the lore, contract power-scaling, and how those Demiplane critters are basically demon-lord tier. We argued pacing vs. payoff on the academy and merchant-guild threads, questioned the handling of Hibiki's spirit-beast armor without much on-screen context, and leaned on chats live notes to connect how the classroom stuff sets up the wider moves happening off camera.About the anime:Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off, with Makoto heading to Rotsgard Academy and then he reluctantly takes a teaching job more so that he can open a store in the city forcing him to juggle that and the Kuzunoha Company while also quietly growing the Demiplane into a functioning society. The goddess's chosen heroes, Hibiki and Tomoki, also step into the spotlight this season, with their ideals clashing with Makoto's hands-off approach as campus lessons spill into citywide incidents and merchant/noble scheming. The plot weaves through academy lectures, the Rembrandt family, and rising human-demon tensions, and sprinkled with character growth and fights that are nudging the whole world toward a larger political and spiritual showdown that even the goddess can't ignore.Next Week's Pick: "Arcane"Have you had the chance to watch Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2 or any of our previous selections?

Chainsaw Man is unstoppable. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is #1 at the North American box office, knocking out prestigious releases from Disney and the like with an impressive $17 million in its first opening weekend.Per Variety, Chainsaw Man: The Movie continued Sony's box-office anime dominance with an opening-weekend haul of $17.2 million from 3,003 North American theaters. This is the second big win for Sony's anime-distributing brand, Crunchyroll, following the jaw-dropping domestic success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle. However, the box-office weekend from Friday, Oct. 24, to Sunday, Oct. 26, was anything but good news for Disney, as its big-screen musical biopic of Bruce Springsteen flopped in theaters.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Science Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5nFXe9dPeWrMpyObyAlrnF?si=7358d1cf32cb45b7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week we talk about Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy S1 which was Jeb's pick. We talk about how Makoto gets pulled to another world, but then instantly gets rejected by a vain goddess for being “ugly”. From there he builds his own life and founds the Kuzunoha company coupled with a hidden demi-plane for demihumans, and contracts with Tomoe and Mio while butting heads with human society mostly on ideology. Jack contrasts manga vs. anime (the “ugly” bit hits both worlds) and floats a theory that Makoto's magic pressure warps how humans see him; and the two other “pretty” heroes exist mostly as goddess eye-candy. We also touch on several other aspects like archery, his element quirks and the Level-1-forever gag vs. why he won't fake it.About the anime:Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy follows Makoto Misumi,a highschool student that gets sent to a fantasy world by the moon god Tsukuyomi due to a contract his parents had, only to be rejected by the resident Goddess of the world he was going to for being “ugly.” As a result he is stripped of the “Hero” title before his adventure even begins. Makoto is forced to carve out his own path, quickly amassing power and allies: the dragon Tomoe and the calamity-spider Mio. He also makes the Kuzunoha Company, builds a hidden demiplane where demi-humans can thrive, and clashes with huyman society and the goddess.Next Week's Pick: "Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2"Have you had the chance to watch Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 1 or any of our previous selections?

There is been one disappointment after another recently.

In this episode we dive into The Unwanted Undead Adventurer. We dig into the world building which was solid in its own right and the fact that they have an in-story researcher helps explain everything naturally, plus the power mix that the MC uses along with the weird biology bits like one drop of blood apparently goes a long way help to tie it all in and explain some of the other mechanics as well. However the early sprint with minimal explanation of the overall time line does hinder it a bit as it does not really give you much in the way of the overall progression. Plus there were a few dangling threads that bugged us luckily there is a Season 2 confirmed.About the anime:Rentt is an unlucky veteran adventurer who dies after running into a dragon(?) in the Labyrinth of the Moon's Reflection which is supposed to be a low level (or easy if you will) dungeon and then revives as a skeleton. He learns that defeating monsters fuels his “existential” evolution, letting him climb undead forms toward his goal of becoming human again or as close to it as possible. With the help of his friend and scholar mage Lorraine, he is able to conceal his identity and starts off as a rookie adventurer again and begins to climb the ranks to his ultimate goal and life long pursuit of being a mithril ranked adventurer.Next Week's Pick: "Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy"Have you had the chance to watch The Undead Unwanted Adventurer or any of our previous selections?

Hianime is still targeted for piracy, the subtitle quality at Crunchyroll is at an all-time low, and Ae! Group member activity suspended after arrest! Also, AnimeJapan teams with Crunchyroll for a new award, the original Tiger Mask mask, found and verified, and Bushiroad reveals Hunter x Hunter survivor game! Meanwhile in Japan, a man was arrested for a naked trip to escape reality, and banks were irked by stolen envelopes and online reselling?!

This week we talk about Chivalry of a Failed Knight and talked about the vibe of the anime and not so much the plot. One of the main points that we touch on is that the main couple actually communicates. We also talk about the main character Ikki and how he makes his own style because no one would train him, and he has a skill that is basically a burst mode that hits hard and then floors him right after. We even argued about chivalry and finally landed on yes, Ikki also sets boundaries and is willing to help people with no strings attached. One thing though is that the pacing bugged us with what seemed like jumps between episodes or ground work laid out but it also felt like there were whole sections just left out. All in all it was an entertaining show and is worth the watch. Set in a modern world where a small number of humans possess the ability to manipulate their souls into powerful weapons, these individuals are known as "Blazers." and the main story follows Ikki, the so-called “Worst One” at Hagun Academy due to his low magic. His life gets upended when he encounters Stella Vermillion, an A-Ranked Blazer and a princess, in a compromising situation in their shared dorm room. After some shenanigans the two push each other to grow while training for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, a national tournament that crowns the strongest student knight. The show blends tournament arcs, romance, light comedy, school politics, clean fights and a straight-shooting main couple that actually communicates most of the time.
