AnimeJapan has come and gone... a while ago, with how late this show is, but with it comes a lot of big announcements of a VERY big summer season coming up, and we're going to lay out the details for what's poised to be a rom-com-heavy July along with the usual updates and menageries that the strange and bizarre anime industry has on offer, like a weird pseudo-incestuous corporate offspring, HiDive losing and gaining some shows this month, Netflix viewer data, a new paid 'adult' platform, and most importantly of all: GAY ANGEL TWINKS.

Lighthearted shows are not easy to find these days, and your backdoor anime hangout had a ball in the movie theaters watching the first three episodes of the upcoming romcom series - Witch Watch. Two childhood friends reunite - one an ogre named Morihito who wants to live a peaceful life, and the other a witch named Nico who strives to both help people and woo Morihito's heart - and live together amidst an unforeseen impending disaster brewing. We give our first impressions from our favorite scenes to our hype for LilyPichu's voice over role announcement as the titular Nico. Witch Watch will begin streaming 06 April 2025 via:NetflixCrunchyrollHuluMore information on Witch Watch via GKids.Crew:Jonathan "Joestar" BeltranJonimagEnShreddyMany thanks to Christian Wiseman for equipment.

“I know in my heart, I'm more woman than anyone!”Cass from Distant Echoes joins us for this joyful Christmas masterpiece, led by a heroic and unapologetic trans woman in a cast of complex unhoused characters. We explore filmmaker Satoshi Kon's unparalleled filmography–including the deep empathy that led him to tell a magical story about the queer and homeless experience–along with the imaginative animation from Madhouse, and the reclamation of Hana as a trans character in modern translations despite early missteps.Film Release: November 8, 2003For the next couple months, we're doing a biweekly Special Presentation miniseries featuring a selection of non-Pixar movies & TV aimed at younger audiences and families featuring clear, unafraid, and unambiguous depictions of queerness.Satoshi Kon's final blog post (Kon's Tone)Interview: Satoshi Kon (AnimeNewsNetwork)Interview with Satoshi Kon, Director of Perfect Blue (perfectblue.com)Satoshi Kon: The Illusionist by Andrew Osmond — out of print (check your library system!)Tokyo Godathers, 2020 GKIDS re-release special features:— Making Of Tokyo Godfathers— The Process of Animation— An Interview with Shakina NayfackPart of ⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠ | Patreon⁠E-mail us: pixarpodcast@gmail.comMore from ⁠Doug⁠More from ⁠Derek⁠Theme song features: “Stasis” by Eagle-Eyed Tiger | ⁠SourceClosing song: “No.9” by Keiichi Suzuki & Moonriders

Yes, the world may be on fire and/or a frigid wasteland at the same time, but we're still here and still kicking. And to prove that there is still some good in the world (along with football YouTuber Tom Grossi raising over a million dollars for charity in one week) there's a very long-awaited announcement: NO. 6 IS GETTING A NEW NOVEL. Let's hope that the reunion will, indeed, be coming for those boys. And along with that, we have the news of BOCCHI THE SECOND SEASON happening, Masaaki Yuasa starting up a new studio, an hour's worth of book announcements from several publishers (even from Tokyopop, but just briefly), Fate/stay night airing on a... *curious* cable TV channel, some ripples in the Gundam pipeline, the recent AnimEigo "town hall" announcements, and a whole lot of dumb shenanigans to help distract all of you from the real world at large. And if all else fails, just wait for the Canada gooses to begin their attack. They'll never see it coming. intro - winter's almost over 8:45 - main stories 48:15 - book announcements 1:44:30 - announcements and updates 2:15:04 - home video releases 8:45 - Masaaki Yuasa establishes a new studio 13:11 - Kadokawa builds their empire further 15:37 - The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All anime announced 19:24 - BOCCHI THE SECOND SEASON 22:40 - No. 6 gets a new novel after 14 years 24:47 - My Dress-Up Darling ends in its next chapter 29:41 - the Zombie Land Saga movie still lives 33:04 - a new live-action Gundam film project announced 41:35 - a new Avatar sequel series greenlit at Nickelodeon 48:15 - Kodansha USA book announcements 59:33 - Seven Seas book announcements 1:16:34 - sadly, Tokyopop has more BL titles 1:20:20 - Yen Press book announcements 1:36:33 - Viz licenses the Kingdom manga 1:44:30 - so, about Fate/stay night UBW on television… 1:49:51 - J Balvin guest starring in Solo Leveling 1:55:11 - GKIDS releasing LOVE & POP (Hideaki Anno) in theaters 1:56:29 - BOCCHI THE ROCK! recap movies and more Touken Ranbu now on Crunchyroll 2:00:21 - Disney backlog dubs hitting Hulu in March (The Fable, Tokyo Revengers, Murai In Love) 2:01:40 - Samurai Pizza Cats: The Video Game is a real thing coming in 2026 2:06:06 - Vampire Hunter D coming to theaters in April 2:06:49 - the recent AnimEigo “town hall” announcements 2:15:04 - misc. home video releases (WB, Anime Limited, AnimEigo, Aniplex) 2:18:04 - GKIDS/Shout Studios releases (Summer Wars, APFTTU, Wolf Children) 2:19:24 - Sentai May releases (Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night, Insomniacs After School) 2:22:17 - Crunchyroll May releases (Iruma-kun, One Piece) 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.

It's been... quite a month for a lot of us. For a lot of reasons. For the foreseeable future, we're all going to be on our own for a while, and we're all going to be depending on each other for help, support, and even survival. And we're all probably going to need more time to ourselves when we need a break from everything, hence why this show is going up so late. Again, it's been "a month" for the ages. But, as long as we all have breath in our lungs and a drive to distract, we'll keep doing these shows for all of you. If only because we all need a break from everything, once in a while. We've got Discotek Day announcements, some thoughts on the top shows of 2024, GKIDS playing with big boy money, Macross finally going up on Disney+ (and Hulu), and more random tangents all over the place. intro - we're all on our own together 9:18 - Discotek Day announcements 1:05:31 - ANN's top 10 anime of 2024 1:19:52 - main-ish news items 2:16:18 - home video releases 1:19:52 - Miles Thomas' ANN report on isekai 1:33:52 - a lot of Viz book announcements 1:40:51 - the dub cast for Sakamoto Days 1:49:25 - Netflix gets Ippo 1:51:26 - Hulu/Disney+ FINALLY gets Macross up 1:55:01 - Sony bounces back at Bloomberg with… a new Crunchyroll manga app (and other projects) 2:06:34 - Witch Watch getting a theatrical premiere in March 2:11:41 - GKIDS gets BIG BOY MONEY with Gundam (GQuuuuuux) 2:14:51 - Signal.MD merging with Production I.G 2:16:18 - Sentai April releases (Princess Principal, Urusei Yatsura) 2:21:35 - March and April home video releases (Undead Unluck, Ghost Cat Anzu, MHA You're Next) 2:26:41 - Crunchyroll April releases (Shangri-La Frontier, Berserk of Gluttony) 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.

The latest film from Kyoto Animation veteran Yamada Naoko – known for K-On!, A Silent Voice, and Tamako Market – arrived in American theaters courtesy GKids this weekend, and both Sean and Jonathan made trips to the theater to check it out. Now working with Science SARU, Yamada's voice is as singular as ever, and while The Colors Within returns to some familiar narrative territory for the director – high-school students forming a band – the way this story is told is singular. It's an aggressively low-key, gentle narrative about quiet but profound emotions, and it builds to a musical climax that is an absolute knockout – one we couldn't resist recording a podcast about.  Enjoy! And please look forward to Season 5 of Japanimation Station, our ‘Grand Tour' of anime, which we are excited to announce will be premiering Sunday, March 16th, 2025! Read 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/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels! Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstationPurely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastSupport the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff“Welcome to Japanimation Station” – Original Music by Thomas Lack, Lyrics by Thomas Lack and Sean Chapman, featuring Hatsune Miku; “ICE” – Original Music & Lyrics by Thomas Lack, featuring Hatsune Miku. https://www.thomaslack.com 

So… things may be a bit rough and not make sense, and the future may not be as bright as we'd all like it to, but we're going to keep doing what we do for all of you as well as all of us - if only to serve as a momentary distraction from the world around us. The fun and shenanigans will continue, even if the real world reminds us how cold it may be, but we're going to fight the good fight going forward, be it big or small. And so should all of you since we're all going to be in this together. Preferably on the platform of "bluer skies," too, hint hint. P.S. enjoy Thanksgiving however you like - preferably with those who are good to you. And with parades and football. intro - some comforting (if unassuring) words 13:42 - a pair of very bad things 37:08 - main stories 56:24 - and the rest 1:23:22 - home video announcements 13:42 - David Wald leaves Crunchyroll for very personal reasons 22:08 - Reuters reporting Sony is in talks to acquire Kadokawa 37:08 - Gundam SEED Freedom ZERO prequel announced 39:12 - Farmagia anime set for January 42:55 - Laid-Back Camp and Iruma-kun season 4s announced 48:28 - Look Back on Amazon Prime with an English dub 52:43 - Hypnosis Mic continues to innovate 56:24 - some more Seven Seas sauciness 1:05:45 - dubs, premieres, and Ninja Scroll on HiDive 1:11:09 - Tomorrow's Joe now on Crunchyroll 1:12:38 - Expelled From Paradise sequel coming in 2026 1:14:38 - GKIDS acquires A Silent Voice and Liz & the Blue Bird 1:20:11 - Anime Limited @ MCM London Comic-Con 1:23:22 - some loose cases (Berserk steelbook, DBZ/S and Samurai Champloo, Shippuden, Nasu - Sumer in Andalusia) 1:25:59 - Sentai January releases (Ninja Scroll, BASTARD!!) 1:27:11 - Crunchyroll February releases (One Piece, BUCCHIGIRI?!, Jujutsu Kaisen) 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, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Director Naoko Yamada (A Silent Voice; K-On) has released a new film - an original story about a girl who can see and feel a person's color joining a band with a dropout and an aspiring medical student in preparation for an upcoming school festival. The Colors Within is an exploration of both the internal struggles of hiding secrets and the joys of creating music as an act of community and worship; all utilizing color and light as a storytelling device. Show Host, Jonathan "Joestar" Beltran, and his guest, Jon, talk about the movie's nuances, themes, and details and feature interview snippets featuring Yamada-san herself. Many thanks to: GKIDS & 42 West LLC for the interview and screening opportunities Alanna Hall and Grace Liriano of 42 West LLC for their help Naoko Yamada for her time and insight Satsuki Yamashita for her interpretation

Yes, it's a wrestling reference given that the only two on here for this show have names that start with A. And yes, this show is late, once again due to a more-than-hectic week. Apologies for the not-great scheduling, but we're working in the background to get things more stable. Also, there's a thing happening on November 5, so maybe do it either on that date or before - you all know what the thing is, it doesn't need to be said. Anyway, we've got an abbreviated recap of the summer season, thoughts on Look Back and MHA: You're Next, a major shift for GKIDS, and the biggest change to the One Piece anime yet - that's all in the first hour, and there's plenty from NYCC to dive into, both good and not-as-good. Convention season is wrapping up and we've got some bangs to go out on, for sure. We'll be back with the fall dub cast rundown next time, after... you know, the thing happens. Please make sure the good thing happens, folks. intro - schedule's still screwy 10:13 - best and worst of summer (from AniChart) 27:55 - main stories 1:17:06 - New York Comic-Con 2:15:18 - and the rest 2:26:08 - home video releases 27:55 - Look Back is incredible (and on Prime Video on November 7) 34:42 - MHA: You're Next is more of the same 39:01 - TOHO International acquires full equity stake in GKIDS 48:48 - My Hero Academia's “final season” slated for 2025 51:24 - the One Piece anime is changing in a big way 57:27 - The Colors Within film coming to theaters in January 59:23 - Hideaki Anno and Khara making a Space Battleship Yamato film project 1:01:10 - Viz announces several big book pickups (Steel Ball Run) 1:17:06 - Lazarus previewed at NYCC 1:20:10 - Toonami has things in November (Invincible Fight Girl, Mashle, Blue Exorcist) 1:29:02 - new Kodansha book pickups 1:41:35 - new Square Enix book pickups 1:47:40 - new Yen Press book pickups 2:01:50 - The Beginning After the End anime announced 2:03:23 - Viz has the YAIBA anime and some more book pickups 2:06:04 - GO FOR IT, NAKAMURA! anime announced, all is good 2:08:48 - other Crunchyroll announcements 2:11:29 - what's up with the new Zenshu PV? 2:15:18 - Yen Press simul-publishing the new Haruhi Suzumiya light novel digitally 2:15:58 - Glitter Force and Voltron LD leaving Netflix? 2:17:48 - SK8 the OVA finally coming in the winter 2:19:17 - HiDive locks in Otaku NEET Kunoichi 2:19:51 - the next Gintama spinoff is coming next October 2:20:49 - a pair of Doga Kobo BL anime are coming 2:22:58 - the new Aquarion anime starts in January 2:23:44 - AnimEigo gets a niche film license 2:26:08 - Naruto full series Blu-ray box coming in January 2:26:55 - Aniplex December releases (Rascal, Blue Exorcist) 2:28:10 - Crunchyroll January releases (a lot of isekai, Horimiya, Apothecary Diaries) 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/ Where to find us: Alex – @Xander_Thoughts Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Fanmacia Popular marca un hito dentro de la historia de la radiodifusión y el podcast. El pasado 4 de mayo se dio cumplimiento a un sueño que inició el día 18 de marzo de 2017 y que el pasado 4 de mayo logró ingresar al selecto grupo de programas que llegaron a los 300 episodios en mas de 7 años de existencia.

Programa emitido el día sábado 19 de octubre de 2024.

First, yes, this show is very late. Blame a long work weekend and a few days dealing with COVID (remember that? it's still around) for this show being later than it should have been. But we have plenty of happenings and goings-ons from Anime NYC to talk about, along with the winner of the Look Back sweepstakes, a major deal for One Piece in the UK, and the long-awaited and long-belated summer dub cast rundown - perfect for the season almost ending, we know.

It's the last stop before Anime Expo, and with it comes a smaller platter of stuff to talk about, but a platter nonetheless - and since that Urusei Yatsura anime revival worked so well, why don't we do it again with Ranma 1/2? It'll be... something, that's for sure. There's also a not-so-great update on the recent business dealings of Kadokawa, HiDive getting back into business with Hulu, the end of My Hero Academia drawing near, and an early best-and-worst of an admittedly middling spring season that had the real best show of the season be unavailable due to a return of Toei's bag-fumbling skills. C'est la vie, as some say. We'll catch you all back here next time for the AX goods.

Yes, this episode is very late. Life sometimes gets in the way of getting this show done. Nevertheless, there's quite a bit to talk about as we are in the "pre-Anime Expo" buildup, namely some big moves from Science SARU and GKIDS, a good amount of manga and light novel synopsis reading, a deep dive on Netflix's anime data, and the (hopefully) permanent financial demise of GAINAX. All of that, and so much more to come both in this show and in the coming weeks. Call it the prelude to the madness in LA. P.S. the Attack on Titan discussion episode that was promised last year? It's cancelled. Sorry for that, too. Just imagine all of us screaming for 2 hours straight and that's the discussion we would have had. intro - a VERY late show and vidya ranting 11:45 - main stories 1:00:26 - announcements and updates 2:06:00 - home video releases 11:45 - GAINAX files for bankruptcy 21:56 - Science SARU acquired by TOHO, producing a new Ghost in the Shell series in 2026 32:34 - GKIDS acquires Angel's Egg 36:04 - GKIDS acquires home video rights for DAN DA DAN (and ARCANE) 41:34 - SCOOP CONFIRMED: Sakamoto Days is REAL 44:07 - Gachiakuta anime announced for 2025, produced at BONES 49:07 - a Netflix anime data deep dive 55:35 - Attack on Titan… the MUSICAL? 1:00:26 - Ishura dub is FINALLY up on Hulu 1:04:39 - Suicide Squad Isekai premieres on Max… AND Hulu 1:07:40 - Sailor Moon Cosmos coming to Netflix in August 1:10:01 - The Imaginary (Studio Ponoc) dub cast revealed 1:12:00 - Delicious in Dungeon season 2 announced 1:14:37 - Re:ZERO season 3 premiere to be movie-length 1:18:59 - SPY x FAMILY season 3 announced 1:21:15 - Mr. Osomatsu season 4 announced 1:23:34 - One Piece Egghead arc dub premiere happening at Anime Expo 1:26:30 - some more J-Novel Club cringe 1:37:16 - some more Seven Seas licenses 1:51:22 - some new Viz manga licenses 2:03:00 - Crunchyroll locks for summer and beyond 2:06:00 - MACROSS PLUS ultimate edition out on 9/30 2:09:07 - Dragonball Super LE reprint out on 7/30 2:10:08 - more Aniplex July releases (Rascal, Yamada Lv999) 2:11:37 - Otaku no Video out on 10/8 2:12:12 - Sentai August releases (Helck, Executioner/Way of Life) 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/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure, https://xandersmachinations.wordpress.com Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Well, then. After taking an unexpected month-long break from this show, we are FINALLY back and we are FINALLY whole again with Andrew back in the saddle to give all of the shenanigans that have been sorely missed in his absence. This includes running down the spring dub casts (finally) and reading some cringy light novel summaries, and it also includes talking about some pretty cool things like a Sakamoto Days project for Netflix getting leaked out, TOONAMI REWIND on Fridays, a positive tease for 86 from VIZ of all companies, a scintillating sell for the new Code Geass project, and the curious case of Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction going from movies to a TV series with zero notice - same with Crunchyroll picking it up and giving it a dub ALSO with zero notice. All the fun you've come to expect, and then some, back at it again for all of you to enjoy over this holiday weekend.

Congratulations are in order for Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli, and GKIDS for their Golden Globe award for best animated film with The Boy and The Heron (How Do You Live?)! With award season only just beginning, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage decide to walk through the last few years of the Golden Globes and reevaluate the category of 'Best Animated Film' by adding some anime movies that deserved to be nominated.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitter: BakacopodcastTwitch: FrankfurtterTikTok: @bakaconewsYouTube: Baka & Co---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animerecommendations #mangacollectionSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bakacompany-podcast.

For the first time in Hayao Miyazaki's decades-spanning career, the 82-year-old Japanese anime master is No. 1 at the North American box office. Miyazaki's latest enchantment, “The Boy and the Heron,” debuted with $12.8 million, according to studio estimates. “The Boy and the Heron,” the long-awaited animated fantasy from the director of “Spirited Away,” “My Neighbor Totoro” and other cherished anime classics, is only the third anime to ever top the box office in U.S. and Canadian theaters, and the first original anime to do so. The film, which is playing in both subtitled and dubbed versions, is also the first fully foreign production to land atop the domestic box office last year. Though Miyazaki's movies have often been enormous hits in Japan and Asia, they've traditionally made less of a mark in North American cinemas. The director's previous best performer was his last movie, 2013's “The Wind Rises,” which grossed $5.2 million in its entire domestic run. “It's really a resounding statement for what animation can be,” said Eric Beckman, founder and chief executive of GKIDS, the North American distributor for Studio Ghibli films. “American audiences have been ready for a lot more than what they've been getting, and I think this really points to that direction.” “The Boy and the Heron” for years was expected to be Miyazaki's swan song. But just as it was making its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Junichi Nishioka, Studio Ghibli vice president, said the previously retired Miyazaki has begun working toward another film. “The Boy and the Heron,” has been hailed as one of the best films of 2023. The film, featuring an English dub voice cast including Robert Pattinson, Christian Bale, Dave Bautista, and Mark Hamill, follows a boy who, after his mother perishes in World War II bombing, is led by a mysterious heron to a portal that takes him to a fantastical realm. In Japan, its title translates to “How Do You Live?” “The Boy and the Heron” earlier collected $56 million in Japan despite zero promotion. Studio Ghibli opted to release the film without production stills, trailers, ads, or billboards. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

This week on The Searchers, Kevin, Ben and Chris discuss the latest film from legendary director Hayao Miyazaki, How Do You Live? Unfortunately it was re-titled by GKids to "The Boy and the Heron," which the three of us agree was a dumb move by the distributor. We meditate over why Miyazaki chose this as his potential last film, and why it was something that pulled him from retirement. Historical trends, modern Japanese culture, personal reflection, the gorgeous animation, and the comparison to other animated works are thoughtfully discussed. Were we over-hyped? Or is this the best Studio Ghibli film of all time? Listen and find out. Submit your mailbags to us at thesearcherspodcast@gmail.com. Thank you.

"The Boy And The Heron" had its North American premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was 2nd runner-up to the People's Choice Award. The new Hayao Miyazaki film has garnered strong reviews, winning Best Animated Feature from the New York and Los Angeles Film Critics and has now been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score for Miyazaki's close collaborator Joe Hisaishi. The world-renowned Japanese composer has scored all but one of Miyazaki's films, and his latest is receiving considerable praise. Hisaishi was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, now playing in theaters from GKIDS, which is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at this year's Academy Awards. Thank you, and enjoy!

10 years ago, hand-drawn film Ernest & Celestine, about the unlikely pairing of a bear and a mouse, charmed moviegoers and Academy members. It earned a Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination alongside Hayao Miyazaki's final film at the time, The Wind Rises, and CG blockbusters Frozen, The Croods and Despicable Me 2. This Friday September 1st, GKIDS will release a sequel feature in theaters, with the title characters on their biggest and most meaningful journey yet. Here's my conversation with the directors of Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia, Jean-Christophe Roger and Julien Chheng.

We're covering a lot of ground on this week's episode so buckle up nerds. Firstly we've got a very special certified RWBY expert joining us today, she's probably familiar if you're a long time listener, to see how RWBY Ice Queendom may or may not be living up to expectations of the fanbase. From there we're making the case for Made in Abyss does it deserve classic status? Is it goated? We think it's got a fighting chance, but we'll let you decide. And for our biggest segment this wee we're bringing you our review of Masaaki Yuasa's new work Inu-Oh.

With its two movie Chrises (Hemsworth and Pratt), "Love and Thunder" also gives us an opportunity to revisit 2018's TOP 5 CHRIS POWER RANKING, with Adam and Josh offering their revised rankings at the end of the show.
