Doug and Justin dive deep into anime this week, starting with Doug's story of watching the new Demon Slayer movie with his daughter for the first time. That leads into a full breakdown of anime tropes, including a hard look at the My Hero Academia ending and why its final stretch dragged, plus a rundown of some of the funniest and strangest anime titles out there. From there the guys rewatch Sword Art Online and Attack on Titan, which kicks off the main event: a real debate about why live action anime adaptations almost never work. They break down Attack on Titan, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, and the ongoing trend of Hollywood trying to remake beloved anime and Disney classics in live action, and why so much of it gets lost in translation. That spirals into a bigger conversation about fandom culture and why the biggest fans sometimes become a property's worst enemy. Justin also puts Doug in the hot seat for a movie trivia game, naming an actor based only on three of their most popular films. Doug's knowledge surprises even himself. The episode wraps with this week's recommendations, including The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part One, now streaming on Crunchyroll.

Regresamos al mundo de la magia y la fantasía gracias a Witch Hat Atelier, uno de los animes más esperados del 2026 y que sin duda no defraudó.Hablamos de la hermosa adaptación que se aventó BUG FILMS del manga creado por Kamome Shirahama, que en sí es una obra de arte.A pesar de que la historia se siente como un coming of age de una hermosa niñita que descubre el mundo de la magia, sus anfitrionas se clavan en cómo este anime ofrece temas mucho más profundos y densos. Por ejemplo, el tema del control del conocimiento y el poder que eso da; o también, cómo este mundo aparentemente feliz también es bastante hostil y llega hasta a marginar a ciertas personas.Recuerda que Witch Hat Atelier está disponible en Crunchyroll.

We're all mad at Sony for ALL of the reasons right now. But we're not mad at Discotek since they and AnimEigo alike offer everyone really cool things and actually treat their customers like people, unlike Sony who treats people with contempt and locks their store behind a paid Crunchyroll subscription. We're also not mad at Anime Limited for getting Banana Fish and committing to put it on a disc sometime soon, unlike Sony who would rather get rid of discs the for the glory and benefit of their spreadsheet-loving C-suite. And we're also not mad at the Criterion Channel service for getting Neon Genesis Evangelion on their platform next month (ADV dub included, per reports) since they know people like old things, unlike Sony who will gladly let old things lapse so people can't get them anymore.

Crunchyroll. What was once a gateway for anime fans around the World to enjoy the medium they love so much has now transformed into something none of us ever wanted to see... Us fans always held on to hope that Crunchyroll would look out for us and not be seduced by corporate greed, settling on maximizing its profits rather than focusing on the entrustment of its fans. Now, its hard to ignore Crunchyroll's corporate gluttony as it continuously makes decisions that harm its fans all for the sake of higher earnings. This episode, Frankfurtter, MagicallyAverage, and our special guest, BeSteveBrown, discuss the current state of Crunchyroll, from the Anime Awards to the imprisonment of its online store behind its subscription model, and everything else in between.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Guest: BeSteveBrownTikTok: @bestevebrownInstagram: @bestevebrownYouTube: @bestevebrownBaka&CompanyTwitch: BakacopodcastTikTok: @bakacopodcastInstagram: @bakacopodcastBlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.socialYouTube: @bakacopodcast---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollectionSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bakacompany-podcast.

A new report from a trusted gaming industry analyst projects PlayStation 6 to launch in 2028 and sell only four million units in its first calendar year on the market. When you consider that even PS3 managed to sell three and a half million units in a mere four months, well, it might be a tough row to hoe. And when you take into account that this analysis assumes PS6 will sell for between $600 and $800, Sony may be in for a rude awakening indeed. We discuss. Then again, other analysis paints a far rosier picture, at least as far as Grand Theft Auto VI pre-sales are concerned, where Sony will be raking it in by the many hundreds of millions in royalties alone. Other news this week includes EA's reversal on its controversial College Football 27 microtransactions, the dominance of Call of Duty: Black Ops I and II's PSN release, the delay of the upcoming first party fight stick FlexStrike, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStation in dire need of a spokesperson? Does Crunchyroll's new approach with its subscription portend a dicey future for PSN? Have we ever lent a physical game to a friend (or someone else) and never received it back? Could Episode 420 mean throwing all caution to the wind?

Anime did not cross into Western culture in one clean movement. It arrived in fragments, through edited TV dubs, bootleg tapes, playground obsessions, fansubs, late-night downloads, and eventually legal streaming platforms.In this episode of Geekstorians, Dave picks up where Season One's ‘The Anime Underground' left off, following anime's journey from cult import to global mainstream force.We begin at the 2003 Academy Awards, where Spirited Away won Best Animated Feature without sanding itself down for Hollywood. From there, we rewind to the late 90s, when Dragon Ball Z exploded on Toonami and taught a generation of viewers to expect serialised storytelling, consequences, cliffhangers, and men screaming in fields until the landscape reconsidered its options.Then came Pokémon, a franchise that became so massive, so quickly, that many Western children did not even think of it as anime. It was just Saturday morning television, playground trading, Game Boy link cables, and the dangerous social power of a shiny Charizard.The episode also looks at Studio Ghibli's very different crossing: a studio that refused to compromise, resisted Western editing, and eventually saw Spirited Away become the first Japanese film to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.Finally, we move into the digital era, where fansubs, piracy, simulcasts, and Crunchyroll transformed anime distribution. What began as a fan-built workaround became part of the legal streaming infrastructure. The underground became the industry.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown. Hosted on Acast.
