Show Notes 0:00: The two hosts of TheOASG Podcast return once again to talk about what they’ve been up to over the past few weeks, which involves Justin talking about the Star Detective Precure and Detective Conan collaboration and Helen talking Shonen Jump catchup, Bookworm Part 3, and Ramparts of Ice! News 23:02: Dark Horse staff recently formed a union (Dark Horse Workers United), and the company has recognized it — the hosts will see how negotiations will go moving forward; Japanese VA Kenjirō Tsuda filed a lawsuit against the operator of the video-sharing app TikTok for posting videos that allegedly used AI (artificial intelligence) to imitate his voice without permission, and it will be something to monitor moving forward. 29:46: Let’s just say voice actor Kazuki Atsumi might have had a future in the talent industry, but after his contract was terminated by his agency following a report of him being arrested for suspected sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl, the future ain’t looking great for him; meanwhile One-Punch Man artist Yūsuke Murata decided he had to comment on a very wild post about Pakistani Britons, and the comment was so bad that people in many languages criticized him. 34:44: Animator and character designer Kunihiko Hamada shared that he is no longer working at Madhouse — the two hosts discuss Madhouse letting him go after 35 years and how they let him go; Justin and Helen have questions and some concerns on Aki Sora manga creator Masahiro Itosugi saying he has banned by Google while uploading older works to Google Drive. 39:39: A few Japanese magazines will be ending soon or sometime this year; the Captain Tsubasa: Rising Sun Finals manga will enter a hiatus following the 100th chapter; Nippon Sangoku will go on hiatus as creator Ikka Matsuki recovers from steroid withdrawal syndrome; and Eiji Hashimoto announced they will temporary switch to a triweekly schedule for Rappa: Yankee Ninpū Chō after a two-week hiatus due to numerous ailments he’s going through right now. 44:43: Galaxy Express 999 lyricist Jun Hashimoto sadly passed away in a Tokyo hospital at 86 due to liver cirrhosis; Screenwriter Takao Koyama posted on X/Twitter a few weeks ago that scriptwriter Hiroyuki Kawasaki had died on January 23 at 60 years old; and Japanese film director and special effects artist Yoshihiro Nishimura died at 59 — Variety reported that Nishimura had been in the hospital for nearly two weeks fighting a liver disease. Licenses 47:37: Another Taiyo Matsumoto manga has been licensed — but not by VIZ, by Manga Mavericks Books instead!; Aloha Comics announced they’ve licensed Ikuno Tajima’s After Märchen (Ever After in English) as their first ever manga license; K MANGA added a few new titles to its service; and so did Manga UP!; Kogattuo & Ichika Kino's World Wide Web MIKO! has been added to MANGA Plus. 51:21: Not new licenses, but might as well be considering some of these titles have been out of print for a long while! Look out for a couple Jiro Taniguchi titles, Hideo Azuma’s Disappearance Diary, and Kiriko Nananan’s Blue at some point this year; And with Otakon happening next month, Discotek announced a couple titles ahead of it, including the next entry of Digimon for them (Tamers) and the Hana Yori Dango anime. Streaming News 53:00: GKIDS acquired the North American theatrical rights for Adolescence of Utena and will screen the movie in Japanese with English subtitles in US theaters June 21-22, which has Helen in a pickle; JUJUTSU KAISEN Hidden Inventory / Premature Death compilation film and English dubs for Given: Hiiragi mix and Given The Movie: To the Sea, and the Bean Counter OVA are now on Crunchyroll. 55:49: HIDIVE has announced their comings and goings from the service this month, from the Heavy Metal L-Gaim TV anime and OVAs to The Life of Budori Gusuko being added, while Get Backers, Humanity Has Declined, Mayo Chiki!, and Wasteful Days of High School Girl anime are leaving HIDIVE on June 30; premieres of the Cherry and Virgin film and the Sekiro: No Defeat anime will happen at this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival. 58:34: And yes, Conan Cinema Saturdays has returned this summer…which means Justin will just be vibing and getting these movies views instead of watching most of them properly this year! Weird News 1:00:25: Osaka's holding an exhibition of 17th Century Dutch masterpieces, and it's set to take place at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka between August 21 to September 27. Somehow, Frieren and Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring is a part of it as a crossover, and Helen had a great story to tell involving earrings and which one it needs to go on for this rabbit, but found out that those without a Bluesky account can’t see it. Guess who found this out mid-podcast? 1:03:43: We will now have Baki’s dad in Tekken 8, meaning these anime/manga characters appearing in fighting games has gone up somehow. 1:05:19: Usually we put a manga getting a US live action in this section because again, these normally don’t work out very well — somehow it’s that and weird because it’s one of most unlikeliest manga to get a US live-action series…it’s based off a Josei manga series! If there’s anything you’d like to share about the latest news or about the episode, please feel free to reach out to us on Twitter (@TheOASG) or comment below with your thoughts!

Ok, be honest with me. Did ANYONE know that the Crunchyroll store had an affiliate program?!? In the span of 24 hours I had learned about the existence of the affiliate program and also witnessed its closure. What a trip! This news sparked Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage taking a deeper dive into the current state of the Crunchyroll store, specifically the quiet collapse of its manga marketplace. SKUs are being quietly removed. Series aren't being restocked. Even new releases are impossible to find at times! The bakabois look into all of the recent happenings over at the Crunchyroll store and try to speculate what the future might hold for this goliath of the anime and manga market.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitch: BakacopodcastTikTok: @bakacopodcastInstagram: @bakacopodcastBlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.socialYouTube: @bakacopodcast---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollectionSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bakacompany-podcast.

In PCJ Pops, the Pop Culture Junkies share their recommendations on what to experience in pop culture, today and yesterday. Shauna went all the way back to 1997 to watch the anime series Berserk. Based on a long-running manga, Berserk the anime series only had a single season, but that one season was hyperviolent and completely addictive. (And also very triggering, as the hero, a swordsman named Guts, goes through hell over the course of the series.)

Another year, another Crunchyroll awards show that only the influencers and most terminally online folks actually care about. We're not some of those people, but we talked about it anyway because it's just our routine to talk and kvetch about it. But there are other things worth talking about, like some industry financials heading down a bit, GKIDS nabbing The Adolescence of Utena for theaters next month, Macross DYRL getting its first stateside screening at Anime Expo, Katsuhiro Otomo launching a new animation studio, and other things both good and bad. As is also our routine at this point. Thanks for putting up with the wonky schedule as of late. We're trying our best to keep things somewhat steady. Here's an actual awards show from our friends at Dub Talk you should pay attention to, in the meantime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFiruYsAlY0 intro - talking about anything but the CR awards 9:19 - talking about the CR awards 34:00 - news items (memoriams, industry financials, Otomo's new studio, Macross DYRL @ AX) 1:01:58 - announcements (Dorohedoro S3, Adolescence of Utena in theaters) 1:39:13 - home video releases (Dragon Maid movie, Dragonball Daima, Sentai rereleases, Wind Breaker, Rooster Fighter) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

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.

(Crunchyroll), The Ramparts of Ice (Crunchyroll), You and I Are Polar Opposites (Crunchyroll), Abbott Elementary (Disney+), Hogwarts Legacy (PlayStation), Invincible (Prime Video), Black Mirror (Netflix), Tales of Arise (Xbox), Bad Sisters (Apple TV+), Prime Target (Apple TV+), Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (Prime Video), Little Kitty, Big City (Xbox), The Legend of Vox Machina (Prime Video), Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Crunchyroll)Connect with Dom online:Website: https://www.gamesaid.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sussex-gamesConnect with Lao online:Website: https://laokservices.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/laokarunConnect with Louise online:Website: https://www.youtube.com/@NoMoreDraftsConnect with mayamadamayamada is a manga brand and mission-driven creative agency all about equipping young and aspiring creatives to thrive on the creative journey - whether they're discovering what's possible, developing new skills, or sharing expertise with the next generation.Website: https://mayamada.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayamadatvTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayamadatvBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mayamada.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/mayamadatvTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/mayamadaJoin our Studio77 community on Discord to connect with other creatives and be part of the journey https://discord.gg/b5fmnuT

The GZ Chop Shop crew — Greg, Ty, and Ulysses — break down the biggest stories in gaming this week.First up: after three years of community hunting, Diablo 4's legendary secret Cow Level has finally been found — but is the payoff worth all that effort? The guys debate whether Blizzard should have done more with one of the franchise's most iconic traditions, and break down exactly how to unlock it (spoiler: you need to beat Lord of Hatred first and kill 666 cows).Then it's over to Xbox, where new CEO Asha Sharma is making moves fast. Game Pass Ultimate just dropped from $29.99 to $22.99 a month, Call of Duty is no longer a day-one title on the service, and the leadership deck is getting reshuffled. Is this the reset Xbox needed — or just a honeymoon phase?From there, Project Helix takes center stage. The next-gen Xbox console is generating more buzz under Sharma, but dev kits don't ship until 2027. The crew weighs in on whether the PC-console hybrid concept makes Xbox's identity clearer or murkier — and whether we even need new hardware yet.GTA 6 rounds out the main topics. November 19th is still the date, but the May 21st Take-Two earnings call is ten days away from this recording and the crew is watching the trailer situation closely.Plus: the Like a Dragon: Stranger Than Heaven trailer has Ty losing his mind over Tori Kelly, and the guys react to 86 Eighty-Six being pulled from Crunchyroll — which turns into a bigger conversation about streaming, licensing, and why the anime is always just the sales pitch.key topicsDiablo 4 secret cow level hunting processGTA 6 upcoming release and trailer expectationsXbox Project Helix development and future plansIndustry leadership changes and market strategy shiftsChapters00:00 The Discovery of the Cow Level in Diablo 406:53 Xbox's Leadership Changes and Game Pass Pricing18:51 The Future of Xbox Under New Leadership25:10 Microsoft's Leadership Changes and Xbox's Future28:26 Project Helix: The Future of Xbox38:07 GTA 6: Anticipation and Expectations45:01 Anime Adaptations and Streaming ConcernsVisit our Website: gzchopshoppodcast.comJoin our newsletter!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/gzchopshop.

I vote Deku for Crybaby of the Decade Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum. (The only exception being older titles)

Welcome to TV Break, where Pop Break's Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus is joined by editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky to talk about the happenings in television.This month Alex is continuing his work to get Suits: LA back on the air, so this month Josh & Bill are flying solo.Here's the format of the show:The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month  – Bill, & Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month including: Netflix's Frieren Season 2 and This is a Gardening Show, Demons of the Shadow Realm on Crunchyroll, and  Disney Plus' Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and Maul: Shadow Lord.Newsbreak – This month, they are discussing the news of Netflix adding “clips” feed on vertical video on their mobile app. This feed will feature YouTube Shorts/TikTok-esque clips from current shows and movies as well as past favorites. Disney+ has done something similar called “Verts.” Bill and Josh discuss this and if it'll work … and if they're too old to be the target audience.Streaming Wars – Bill, & Josh each selected their top streamer of the month. Josh honorably mentions HBO MAX due to the buzz around Euphoria Season 3, The Pitt and its finale, but ultimately picks AppleTV. This is due to the new series Widows Bay which has received high reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. There's also Shrinking Season 3, the return of F1 Racing, For All Mankind and Ted Lasso, the success of Margo's Got Money Troubles, and the new season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Meanwhile Bill gives it to Disney+/Hulu/ESPN due to May being a huge month for Star Wars, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and Zootopia 2 as well its sports presentation of the NFL Draft, the NBA Playoffs, Savanna Bananas, and their first broadcast Wrestlemania.New Series Spotlight  – This month Bill and Josh return to TV Break's most watched streamer (that could be a lie) AppleTV for Widows Bay. The series was created, written and produced by Katie Dippold who wrote Ghostbusters (2016), The Heat, Spy, and Haunted Mansion … and is a fellow Rutgers University Journalism alumnus like Bill. The series stars Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) as the beleaguered mayor of a small New England island. He's trying desperately to drum up summer tourism business via a NY Times article, but a mysterious fog and an apparent curse may derail his plans.

Also, My Hero Academia in concert sets US tour dates, a permanent Square Enix cafe to open in LA, and Crunchyroll is not even in the top 3 for anime streaming worldwide!

Meelz, LJ, and AD lock in for Episode 232 of The Lookout Podcast, continuing their journey through One Piece's Punk Hazard Arc. Before they head over, they discuss My Hero Academia's upcoming new episode 'More' and Chainsaw Man's movie coming to Crunchyroll. The Punk Hazard recap dives through the extra fun filler episode with Goku, Luffy, and Toriko, wonder if this is the series' most inhumane arc yet, where we stand with Law, talking Haki, Luffy vs. Caesar Clown and the trend of Luffy losing then winning, and the introduction of Vergo and Donquixote Doflamingo.

395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book DayDoom Scrolling IntroSteph opens with a wild work moment: getting called a “fat bitch” by a frustrated patient during physical therapy — and somehow holding it together professionally while dying laughing internally. The Foos ease into the weekend recap with drinks (Steph's whiskey-limoncello highball, Joe's Michelob Ultra “carb watch” era), a Shoelace Express show at Pro5 in Upland, and Joe accidentally driving to the wrong Eureka because he didn't realize there's more than one.Then the Florida chaos arrives: a woman allegedly trashes a Subway over peppers on her mobile order — knocking equipment around, throwing trays, and earning herself an arrest for criminal mischief. Florida, never change.Geeking Out starts with DC going full horror: Clayface is getting a biological horror-thriller treatment, leaning hard into the actor-turned-monster origin and the “this is not a superhero movie” vibe. They talk why Batman villains can be more interesting when Batman isn't even in the story, and take a quick shot at Sony's villain-movie track record (with Venom being the best of the bunch).Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord continues heating up, with episodes dropping in pairs and the finale landing on May 4 for Star Wars Day. The Foos debate Maul vs Vader, who's scarier vs who's more interesting to watch, and even who has the better skincare routine (spoiler: Vader's face is not winning any awards).Then anime gets its own month: Crunchyroll turns May into AniMay with watch parties, award tie-ins, theater events, and big headliners like Chainsaw Man the Movie and Re:Zero content — followed by the eternal question: who has a Crunchyroll login they can borrow?They also dig into a Magic: The Gathering resurgence (Vegas buy/sell events, collabs like Spider-Man and Avengers, and whether they should start playing again), plus hype for the new Mortal Kombat movie and favorite characters.Before signing off, Steph drops a genuinely useful heads-up: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2 — 24 free titles across publishers, perfect for newcomers to sample different vibes. She highlights a few standouts and brings up AWA's Telepaths — which is getting an Apple adaptation called Liminal starring Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.Sports makes a brief, chaotic comeback too: MLB glove break-in methods, including steaming… and one player straight-up microwaving his glove for two minutes.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroSteph gets called a fat bitch at work and survives professionallyDrinks highball limoncello + Michelob Ultra carb watchShoelace Express show at Pro5 Upland + Eureka wrong locationFlorida woman trashes Subway over sandwich peppersGeeking Out Clayface turns Batman villain into horror thrillerBatman villains more interesting without BatmanMaul Shadow Lord schedule finale on May 4Vader vs Maul villain debate + skincare routine jokeAniMay Crunchyroll anime month watch parties Chainsaw Man ReZeroMagic the Gathering comeback Vegas event collabs Spider Man AvengersMortal Kombat hype favorite charactersFree Comic Book Day May 2 titles to grabAWA Telepaths Apple adaptation Liminal Vanessa Kirby Yahya Abdul Mateen IISports MLB glove break in steaming and microwavingOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroClayface, DC horror movie, Maul Shadow Lord, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, AniMay, Crunchyroll, Chainsaw Man movie, ReZero, Magic the Gathering, Mortal Kombat movie, Free Comic Book Day, AWA Telepaths, Liminal, Vanessa Kirby, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ontario, Upland, Shoelace Express

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We have almost too many topics, which is odd because normally this only happens when we skip a week. We start off with a discussion about Paradise Killer, the first game from the folks who created Promise Mascot Agency. From there, we talk a bit about the current round of Hugo Award Nominations since Thalen gets to vote. Ash talks about the existence of Beat Weaver, but is NDA bound and cannot go into much detail. This is essentially a spiritual successor to Frequency and Amplitude from Harmonix. We talk a bit about Vampire Crawlers and its shifting the Vampire Survivors formula to turn-based Might and Magic style combat. Bel has been playing Space Dad Simulator in the form of Pragmata, and it is delightful.  Final Fantasy XIV had its Anaheim Fanfest, and we talked about all of the announcements that came out surrounding the upcoming Evercold expansion. Diablo IV Lord of Hatred launches on Monday and seems to be fixing most of the issues with the game, and Bel is looking forward to playing a SRS Warlock.  We talk a bit about Crunchyroll and the recent anime trends, and then devolve into a bunch of us just suggesting various anime.  Finally, Ace and Bel geek out about Eurovision because it is coming up in a few weeks, and they are pumped.   Topics Discussed: Paradise Killer Hugo Nominations Beat Weaver Vampire Crawlers Pragmata FFXIV Fanfest Anaheim  Evercold Diablo IV Lord of Hatred  Crunchyroll and Anime Eurovision is Coming
