The words "the final phase" keep crossing our minds. Of course they do. It's 2025 and Muzan finally let us in to the most bombastic, physics defying, and confusing place of residence in all of fiction. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is upon us. We went to watch it to bring you back the feels, the top-tier animation, on top of the sword play action that made us wait for so long. Shout out to the water tribe, if you know you know, cue the Upper Moon 4 strumming her biwa (yes, we're cultured) and join us on this multidimensional escapade. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum. (The only exception being older titles)

Her son, Hikaru Tanaka, also a voice actor, paid tribute to Tanaka on the date of the first anniversary of her death.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
As the summer beings to wane down, Meelz, LJ and AD pull out a critically-acclaimed, universally-loved, and highly-rated banger for Summer at Kame House. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is this week's watch and we go in-depth into the first cour of the series in terms of what makes Frieren such a compelling character, what the plot of this anime lays in the background and foreground, why people love this anime so much and a long-debate between seeing if this or Solo Leveling deserved to be named Anime of the Year 2025.
We are nearing the end folks, only a few episodes left before we complete S1 of Frieren! This episode we give a special shout out to a great fan, a great fan indeed.

Cam aka CamCammeii returns after 3 1/2 years as we catch up, talk about some of the newer fandoms she's into, and talk about her growth and changes within the past years. We first kick things off by acknowledging that Cam is the designer behind the new Tales from the Fandom logo, as of 3 1/2 years ago. So a little piece of Cam lives on in each episode promo you see on the social media side of things. Cam and I revisit Genshin Impact and talk about its impact (pun intended) on her video game playing. From her first getting into the game, the characters she enjoys, how it involved her getting a custom PC, and much more. Then we change gears and talk about two anime shows that Cam has gotten into. We delve into the realm of Delicious in Dungeon, and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Cam talks about why these two specifically call to her, the characters and story, and what you can expect from them. The back half of the episode, we're talking all about Cam. Our first Cam-topic is talking about her foray into Twitch streaming. We talk about her motivation into starting Twitch streaming, and what you can expect from her channel. Cam and I also talk about her continued work in the cosplay side of things, from newer characters, to her relationship with her body, and what you may see in the future from her. Plus, Cosplay photography! How cam has continued to hone her photogaphy craft, and what cons you may find her at and how to book with her. You can find Cam at: https://www.instagram.com/camcammeii/ https://www.twitch.tv/CamCammeii https://www.instagram.com/camcammeiiphotography/ https://beacons.ai/camcammeii https://www.tiktok.com/@camcammeii You can listen to Cam's original episode at: https://talesfromthefandom.libsyn.com/episode-255-imiicie-talks-about-white-collar-my-hero-academia-cosplay-and-cosplay-photography
This month, we discuss the anime series Frieren:Beyond Journey's End, the anime movie Suzume, and the Sony Pictures animated film Kpop Demon Hunters. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
As far as slice-of-life animes go, Frieren completely shatters the mold with a brand new premise in the fantasy-DnD-adjacent genre and a level of quality (in terms of adapting a manga) that really hasn't been matched before or since its 2023 release. With the eponymous main character experiencing the passage of time so differently than the peers of her past and of the present, it's incredible how well this show treats flashback scenes, the passage of time within the world and its evolution, and the effect of the past affecting characters in the present. It's also gorgeously animated, has a charming soundtrack, and presents its narrative at an unusually relaxing pace, even during scenes where magic is flying across the screen. One thing we can all agree on—this is a one of a kind show that cannot be missed. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.
Mirror, mirror on my phone, who's the baddest? (Us, hello?) This episode, we are joined by a very special guest, Audrey Hall, to talk about the Netflix animated film, KPop Demon Hunters!We get into productive intersection of idoldom and demon hunting that allows the film to explore internalized–and externalized–shame, particularly through the romance of Rumi, the leader of KPop group Huntr/x and Jinu, our kpop demon boy. (Because no discussion of KPop Demon Hunters would be complete without a little consideration of sexy demons.)What's Sparking Joy this episode: The Law According to Lidia Poet (Netflix), K-Pop concerts, BTS's returnEpisode was recorded July 4th, 2025Show Notes:Support us on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/sexlovelitpodcastCheck out Audrey's Poetry!: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7suo4ius6oeyzjt3jttcwjo5 & https://www.instagram.com/audreyy8771/Listen to our Joy Sparked: SLL Song Recs playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/50MNBI1kYKdJgxh8CzEJF1?si=d9df62854c684557Concept Art of Rumi's Mom: https://www.tumblr.com/sexlovelitpodcast/788116129167065088Concept Art of the Saja Boys: https://www.tumblr.com/sunshine-of-rebellion/787102616182308864/new-saja-boys-concept-art-just-dropped-and-youBTS "Pied Piper" MV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5CFyri4dLgF.D.

Ranking different epochs in the history of Anime isn't for the uninitiated; it requires the wisdom of an Arataka Reigen, the battle prowess of a King from One Punch Man, the pathetic capacity to cry on demand of a Hanagaki Takemichi, and the incredible usefullness of Rock Lock's ability.

[School of Everything Else 2025] Neurodivergent elf seeks party for spell-gathering, demon-slaying and appreciating life a whole lot more... Despite our longstanding NO ANIME rule (which nevertheless still allows us to occasionally do shows on the movies we love within that medium, and you folks have been good as gold insofar as overprescribing anime shows when you know it will overwhelm us with volume) this commissions season saw us so in need of emergency funds that we opened the door to not one but two beloved recent series'. However, while we instantly found Delicious in Dungeon to be captivating, funny, charming, hilarious and nerdy in the most appealing easy-sell way possible, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End was much more of a slow-burn. And while we came out the other side appreciating many of the subtleties there were some glaring creative decisions which actively ruffled our feathers. So, to ensure this would be talked about with passion and enthusiasm in a way that would help us see the best in it, we brought in a brace of guests who gave us the lowdown on both the show and the manga. Many thanks to our extremely patient backers for this episode; Tylor, Banzai and Painter47 Guests Alejandra Vargas Bradford Yurkiw

We review Jin-Roh director Hiroyuki Okiura's second animated film, A Letter to Momo, about a young girl that forms an unlikely friendship with a trio of troublesome yokai who through a series of comical misadventures help her to cope with the loss of her father. Released in 2011 after seven years in production, and to seemingly little fanfare on this side of the Pacific, this underrated family film, equal parts charming, comic, and heartfelt, deserves another look. Tune in for the full review! Timestamps: [00:00] Intro + Macross, Street Fighter 6, Gaogaigar, Combattler V, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End [43:30] Review - A Letter to Momo
