Podcasts about j novel club

Show Notes 0:00: On a very packed episode of TheOASG Podcast, Justin and Helen get straight into the news of the past few weeks — and that means licenses before AX! From Kodama Tales and Crossed Hearts‘ licensing week, Abrams Kana acquiring an astrology work, Bubbles Zine bringing over a Suehiro Maruo work, and to GKIDS bringing an anime film to home media, it was a fair number of works announced… …and then came Anime Expo 2026.

This apparently set Helen’s Bluesky timeline on fire once news was posted there, and both hosts discuss some background details involving this manga over the past few months. Ink Pop, Ize Press, AnimEigo (33:32:) noho’s My Neighbor Yokai Dacto's Legroom oaen and LOGO's Philomel the Fake SAISA's Footsteps in the Snow Sakon the Ventriloquist Drucker in the Dugout!

Main Topic: Spring Anime 2026 Final Impressions 38:57: Justin and Helen take no breaks and hop right into wrapping up the Spring anime season, which featured a good amount of standouts (Witch Hat Atelier, Ramparts of Ice, Dorohedoro S2) and some mostly solid works (An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess, Always a Catch, Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!?). Weird News 1:24:50: Welp, this section is the all industries are over, as AI this and AI that has taken over the minds of people who ultimately are trying to get away with being cheap — first with this anime done by an AI animation company that looks familiar in some cases if you stare long enough; then you have the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry considering providing subsidies of 11.5 billion yen (about US$71 million) to 15 eligible media companies aiming to increase overseas sales — the subsidies would aim to encourage the companies to utilize generative AI to translate their works. Welp again! 1:34:59: It’s 2026 and we have The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All getting a pretty superb adaptation — from how it looks to them having Dave Grohl say that Kurt Cobain would have loved Green Yuri, which got Helen to know all about Kurt Cobain; We also have Bamco (Filmworks and Pictures) having to apologize for making an unauthorized references to a number of works — in particular Attack on Titan — in their Sgt. Frog anime film. 1:38:04: Many questions have arisen with the announcement of Netflix working on a live-action Persona TV series, and one of them has Justin wondering why anyone let this be announced at all.

It is 1990 and we are engaged in a questionable war in the middle east. It is 2001 and we are engaged in a questionable war in the middle east. It is 2003 and we are engaged in a questionable war in the middle east. It is 2026 and we are engaged in a questionable war in the middle east. This episode, the fourth of Light Novels In Your Ears, we're talking about Iori Miyazawa's (with illustrations by shirakaba) Otherside Picnic published by J-Novel Club. Otherside Picnic credits: Translation: Sean McCann Editor: Krys Loh As always, you can find me on bsky @nidokorn, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) and the podcast on bsky at those places in the parenthesis.

Show Notes 0:00: Another episode of Justin and Helen discussing everything they’ve been up to over the past few weeks, which may include a musical and some J-Novel Club reads along the way. The two hosts also get into a bit of nostalgia for no real reason… News 17:30: Last episode, the news of Media Do acquiring Seven Seas just happened like roughly an hour or two before the two hosts started recording. It’s been two weeks, which means more information has come forth, including Media Do and Seven Seas having to make assurances that AI will not be used in any future works moving forward…let’s just say the hosts have some concerns! 27:55: The victim in the Shoichi Yamamoto/Shogakukan scandal released a statement on the entire situation, and that means Justin and Helen have more thoughts on how the company’s handling the situation and how well they can honor the victim’s request while also ensuring their culture will change moving forward. But let’s just say the hosts have worries about how they’ll handle it, considering their history. 37:32: Helen talks about a number of plaintiffs filing a consumer digital privacy class action complaint against Crunchyroll, which alleges that Crunchyroll violated the Video Privacy Protection Act. For her, the timing could not have been any more interesting; Justin meanwhile goes over Dark Horse essentially letting their Founder and CEO Mike Richardson go and what this means for the publisher moving forward. 42:36: RuriDragon will be on hiatus until late April; The Detective is Already Dead Season 2 will not air in the summer, it has been pushed to the Fall season; And I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand will also be delayed, it’s now planned to air in the summer. 43:48: Chitose in the Ramune Bottle will return following it’s production issues in the Fall season; Tomato Soup is back following maternity leave, which means A Witch Life in Mongol will return next week; and we unfortunately will say goodbye to another Japanese manga magazine, as Mag Garden has ceased publication, and with their comment on why the magazine’s ending, Justin wonders if the manga market shrinking has played a big role. 48:13: Voice actress Yukie Maeda has passed away due to her health; voice actress Masako Ikeda died on March 3 from a cerebral hemorrhage; and Kyoto Animation announced that its president and co-founder Hideaki Hatta died on February 16 — the hosts go over the loss of each of these talents and people, and wish sincere condolences to their family and friends. Licenses 52:57: Titan Manga announced exclusively on ANN that they’ve licensed the following manga for release in 2026: Tomonori Inoue’s Huck the Air Pirate and the Princess of Steam and Shinachiku’s The Regalia of the Underdog; We will see another H.P. Lovecraft novel adapted by Gou Tanabe published by Dark Horse, this one coming in September; and Mad Cave Studios’ imprint Nakama Press, in partnership with Tatsunoko Production, announced on Friday that it will release the first volume of its Casshan manga by writer Mario B. Long and Kusanagi on September 15. 54:41: Justin and Helen brought up DMP/DMG while talking about Blupetal, who just launched a Kickstarter for Sakura Kurihara’s Let Me Fix You last week (and it has already reached its goal); Japan-based indie publisher Red String announced at CitrusCon that they've licensed Yoshika Komatsu's The Elf Husband and Dwarf Wife (will exclusively be on Omoi on March 22) and Arakata's Funny Bone; The newest Crossed Hearts title has been announced and it'll be going for their Glam Beat (Yuri) line — Mei Fujimatsu’s Time is a Closet; And we got more Siren audiobooks incoming — 3 of them! 58:19: With Manga Planet closing March 31, we finally know where some of the titles will go — Renta! They’ve announced a special transfer program that will allow Manga Planet users access to chapters/volumes purchased on the service, so happy that some of the titles (they won’t be able to bring them all) will exist in some way, this time on Renta!. Streaming News 59:15: Justin and Helen go into Amazon raising their ad-tier prices for reasons, but hard to say if the reasons are good; Prime has added the Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata and the Two Lupins net anime to their service. 1:01:18: Helen is now wondering about Justin’s tastes following his enthusiastic announcement of a show he has never watched (Queen’s Blade: Vanquished Queens) that is now available on Oceanveil; If you’re not into 18+ stuff, Oceanveil will also add the Black Jack OVA with an English dub to their service. 1:03:00: More 4K Ghibli is happening in theaters, so be on the lookout for a few of their heralded films in the spring; ODK Media’s North American streaming platform Amasian TV began streaming the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime with the English dub in the United States and Canada…Justin wonders if this can actually be a streaming service to look out for in the future. 1:04:33: DOROHEDORO Season 2, despite it airing in April, has taken a while for much news to come out. Not anymore! A trailer has come out for it, with also the news that in addition to Netflix it will also stream on Crunchyroll; Retrocrush has added a couple shows to their service, with Black Jack: The Complete OVA Series arriving on their service early next month. Weird News 1:06:32: Justin ends up reflecting on the origin of TheOASG Podcast, and how when Muse came up with doing this, no one could’ve expected Pokémon, The White House, and Nintendo to even be considered in the same sentence as a topic. But we have also that (and Yu-Gi-Oh! also!) in this section. In case you needed to know how weird the news can be. 1:10:24: Let’s just say The Evangelion short that was recently released by Khara had some issues, issues that eventually led the studio to release it themselves and for both Justin and Helen to ponder the meaning of media embargoes. 1:13:11: Yes, One Piece and Elmo is somehow a thing. No, not a lie, this crossover really happened thanks to Netflix; Writer Shirow Shiratori announced that his and illustrator Kippu’s No-Rin light novel series will return from its decade-long hiatus with its 14th and final volume on June 13; Hiromu Shinozuka topped it though, as Mirmo de Pon! New is the first entry in the Mirmo Zibang! in 21 years. The return of works after so long…never say final applies for these works! 1:15:35: And finally, somehow, some way, the live-action adaptation news of manga/anime franchise does not stop…and Samurai Champloo is the next one picked. Looking forward to it coming out in 2030! If there’s anything you’d like to share, please feel free to reach out to us on Twitter (@TheOASG) or comment below with your thoughts! The post TheOASG Podcast Episode 239: Covering News That Did NOT Seem Possible Eons Ago appeared first on TheOASG.

Show Notes 0:00: Justin and Helen decide to talk about the news that’s popped up instead of what they’ve been up to as they have many licenses and an anime season to talk about! Starting with Alphapolis acquiring a CG studio, which suggests they’re trying to ramp up their anime production line. News 3:50: The World’s End Harem: Fantasia manga is back after a lengthy hiatus, and it’ll also be released weekly until the manga ends; meanwhile one series that returned — Kai-Hen Wizards — will go back on hiatus after it returned not too long ago. 6:12: My Unique Skill Makes Me OP even at Level 1 will go on hiatus due to artist Mawata’s health issues; Yūgo Kobayashi’s preparing for the new series that he will launch in Shogakukan’s Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine, so Fermat no Ryōri is going on a temporary hiatus after its 26th chapter; and Kazue Katō announced that her Blue Exorcist manga is going on hiatus as she prepares the manga’s final chapter — this will also involve some changes in her environment. 8:15: There are two anime that Doga Kobo’s involved in that were planned to come out this year. Well, one’s getting moved to 2027 (Roshidere S2) as Inept Villainess will not air in Spring, it’ll instead air in Summer. 10:35: Terminator Zero Season 1 happened and was watched, but not watched enough, as showrunner Mattson Tomlin announced there will be no more seasons of the anime; The talent agency Intention announced that voice actor Kenichi Suzumura is going on hiatus to recover from adjustment disorder. Licenses 12:23: Yen Press decided to announce they licensed this many titles last week: Yuji Iwahara's Clevatess: The King of Dark Beasts, the Baby, and the Undead Hero Rin Minato's Hand in Hand with Mu-chan: Lessons from My Autistic Daughter Yūshi Ukai, BanzaiKotobukiDaienkai, & necometal's Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table manga  Kiyomi Sugishita's Deep-Sea Aquarium Magmell Yukiaki Kurando & Sōsō Sakakibara's Then Shall I Kill in Your Stead?

Kana Nakatsuki's Don’t Tempt Me, VP! Akamaru Enomoto's I Have a Crush at Work Akiko Higashimura's Tokyo Tarareba Girls Returns Kazuto Mihara's The World Is Dancing Satoshi Morie's Killing Line Miko Senri's A Kiss with a Cat (will be released as 2-in-1 omnibuses) Ayumu Nagisa's Omega of the Divine (was never released by Kodansha in the US) 24:13: Seven Seas had a Yuri day, and announced the following titles: Kon Fukaumi’s A Love Yet to Bloom Masakazu Ishiguro’s Sleeping Idiot Puebro’s A Couple Drifting in the Wind Inori & Hanagata’s I’m in Love with the Villainess: Come on and Notice Me Already (Airship) Teren Mikami’s There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless… Short Stories (Art by Eku Takeshima) & There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless… Spin-off Collection (Art by Musshu) 26:14: TOKYOPOP finally made time to announce they've licensed the following: Neko Kiirono's Nagi & Hayasaki Natsuwo Ichikawa's Beneath the Fallen Camellia Blooms Sai Asai's 300 New Days With You Ishiko's The Devil’s in the Lunch Deals Odayaka & Comic Room's Sanctuary Princess Rokakoen's Ugly Girls Macho Tako's Ghoul Work, Kurose Kappe Hoshi's Better the Devil You Know Than the Devil You Don’t Know Tomo Kitaoka's Chibon Kaburi: The Masked God Kororiyo's 365 Days with the Yokai Nashi's Six Ryō Koshino's Dr. Ashura 27:40: Hanashi Media announced too many titles as well, but they’re at least distinct since most of their announcements have long names: Shizuru Minazuki & Yamakawa's A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring Umee & Kawaku's The Disfavored Prince is a Genius Alchemist: All I Want is to Spoil My Little Siblings take4 & Hinaco Hino's It Was Supposed to Be My Second Life, but It Turned Out to Be My Third So I’ll Change History with Knowledge and Reform Cancellara & Riv's Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer: Building a Castle Brick by Brick Yо̄suke Akano & hakusai's Reincarnated Onmyoji: Powered by the King of Hell I Refuse to Return to Hell Masanobu Serizawa & Kyou Kitazawa's The Vampire and the Chocolatier: A Genius Alchemist’s Sweet Obsession Rerux & Ryūta Fuse's I Was Banished from the Royal Capital So I’m Building the Ultimate Golems with My Hero Disciples Yuyushita Sasuga & Tamagonokimi's The Guy Who Thought He Was the Hero Used the Real Hero as a Stepping Stone and Won Mesopo Tamia & Carimarica's A Dumped Villainess Married Me, a Lazy Villain Noble—and We Became the Ultimate Power Couple Torisuke & nyanya's I Was Reborn as a Refugee Girl, So I’m Working Toward Citizenship from Scratch Takumi Yanai & Kurojishi's GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought There! 32:14: More manga have been announced for Abrams Comicarts‘ Kana imprint, which includes a new Inio Asano title; New publisher Crossed Hearts licensed for their new Yuri imprint TaaRO’s Borrowing Your Textbook 175160; MANGA Plus added a couple new series to their service, which includes a new Karuho Shiina work; Ichiha Hiiragi & Nagi Ōkawa’s Playing the Vixen to Find Happiness is now on K MANGA; Nobuko Takekawa’s Yuko, the Ghost in My Room is now on MANGA Up. 36:06: And in final licensing news, Helen and Justin remark over 2018 Captain Tsubasa getting released…in DVD format! Streaming News 39:41: Whatever the Kodansha-Disney deal was supposed to mean, Justin at least doesn’t know since the newest Ghost in the Shell anime will be streamed on Prime this summer; Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc will stream on Crunchyroll this Spring but Justin of course will make this about Demon Slayer; And not surprisingly, things don’t get cheaper, they get more expensive so Crunchyroll upping the subscription price for all tiers is not a shock. 44:43: GKIDS acquired the North American theatrical rights to Shōji Kawamori’s original animation film Labyrinth and it will be in theaters for two days in May; The 76th Berlin International Film Festival is screening a 4K restoration of Ninja Scroll; and Oceanveil continues branching out from what they’re usually known for, and now has Haigakura & Scum’s Wish on their service. Main Topic: Winter Anime 2026 First Impressions 48:04: Justin and Helen discuss a very packed Winter Anime season, which means you should find a lot to like, whether it’s sequels (Frieren S2, Jujutsu Kaisen S3) to thoughtful and dense shows (Journal With Witch) or hilarious romcoms (Tamon's B-Side, You and I Are Polar Opposites). Just don’t do what Justin’s doing and watch objectively bad anime because you liked the original source (Roll Over and Die at 53:03, Tune in to the Midnight Heart at 1:07:47). Weird News 1:57:24: The year of reviving old material continues, as now Chie Shinohara’s Red River is getting an anime adaptation, so once again Justin implores everyone to let their dreams be dreams and put out in the universe what you want to become an anime! 2:03:51: You wouldn’t think a collaboration between artists would generate any controversy, but if it involves China and My Hero Academia, then yes, there will be controversy; if you like spicy foods and Hatsune Miku, Thailand’s got something for you; And finally, Mamoru Oshii has too much time on his hands since he’s logged way too many hours on Fallout, why would he share this with anyone (meanwhile Justin reveals how many hours he’s logged into Fire Emblem: Three Houses) If there’s anything you’d like to share, please feel free to reach out to us on Twitter (@TheOASG) or comment below with your thoughts!

We went to our biggest anime convention yet and what better way to celebrate than having our longest Con-versations episode yet. This time, Austin and Tori review Otakon 2024 which was held in Washington, DC from August 2-4th, 2024. This episode would have been out earlier, but between life stuff and us recording for over three and a half hours, it was a lot to get through. Totally worth it though, if you ask me, due in large part to our very special guests, Coop and Maddy! Coop you may know from their work at Discotek Media, Anime News Network, AnimEigo, J-Novel Club, and their own podcast, Dude, You Remember Macross? and Maddy you may have heard appear on shows like Giant Robot FM and Chatty AF: The Anime Feminist Podcast. Both of them are very cool, kind folks who yapped with us for way too long about an awesome convention weekend. 00:00:00 - Introduction and everyone's history with Otakon (or lack-thereof) 00:24:40 - Venue talk, including artist's alley and dealer's room 00:40:53 - Fan panels, and a tangent about Gundam 01:05:58 - Industry panels, with tangents about EGL fashion, gas stations, and more 02:08:04 - The Great and the Terrible of autograph sessions 02:24:04 - Cosplay talk! And an aside about places to eat around the con 02:51:12 - Most iconic moment(s) 02:56:41 - Social medias and outro If you enjoy this or any other episode, leave us a Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or elsewhere!

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.

After a long Thanksgiving weekend, the grind continues onward - if only for one more week as Anime NYC was quite the event to look back on as opposed to the litany of terrible news we have to go through on this episode. We're all really just limping to the end of the year, in a way. But we carry on, if only for our own sense of self-worth and in honor of the greatest man who ever lived: Kento Nanami.

Show Notes 0:00: Justin and Helen finally get to talk about what they've been up to over the past month that has nothing to do with seasonal anime. Let's just say it involves reading a lot of J-Novel Club stuff and Helen seeing Pompo: The Cinéphile. Oh, and also watching a few more Spring anime. […] The post TheOASG Podcast Episode 146: Why Yes, The News is Weird Once Again appeared first on TheOASG.

Watching spring training games is this weird exercise in determining whether any given player will be anything, or maybe they're just taking a spot to give others a rest. Or maybe they're younger folks with real promise. Or maybe they just had a particularly good game that day. This episode, we're talking about Nozomu Mochitsuki (author) and Gilse's (illustrator) Tearmoon Empire published by J-Novel Club. Tearmoon Empire credits: Translator: David TengEditors: Samantha J. Moore, Hannah N. Carter The song you heard in this episode was "Back in Time" by Huey Lewis and the News. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen's writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post. Read Helen's reviews of Tearmoon Empire volume 1-2, volume 3, volume 4, and volume 5-6 over at The OASG. Listen Show notes: No show notes. We just talk about Tearmoon Empire. Next time is a special episode where Chris and Ink join Kory to talk about some Shuzo Oshimi.

The lesson of Toonami turning 25 is that, in 2022, people will yell over everything they do, be it for the good or bad or indifferent. But that's where this show comes in, to lay out a grounded overview of what to expect from the block in the future, be it for the good or bad or indifferent. And along with that lengthy discussion, there are more details over the Crunchyroll-Funimation whatever-it-is and what to (not) expect going forward, information regarding the Toei hack, more details on a perplexing 3DCG film, and above all else Discotek is here to show that they are still absolutely wild with their pickups and restorations. As many should come to expect, by now. Apologies for this show being late, things have been busy. Stay tuned for a make-good in the coming days.

As the year draws closer to a close, so does this year's convention season, capping off with Anime NYC to... interesting results, in some regards. Fun was had, enjoyment was shared, and panels brought with them plenty of fan experiences and announcements, and we're here to recap the happenings and goings-on - plus plenty of upcoming home video talk, a look at the 2021 Oricon sales rankings, Seven Seas brokering a big deal for a popular manga series with another company, and plenty more in this jampacked show! And do you hear that in the distance? It's the sound of Discotek Day approaching. Prepare yourselves.

My preamble to Helen's write up below is that it is MLB opening day and that I did not forget we were recording an episode, I forgot it was Wednesday at all. Soooo, Kory forgot we were recording an episode (and moved so his computer is in pieces)! So it's only Helen (me) and Apyrll doing a short podcast duet while talking about Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress!, which is complete in two volumes from J-Novel Club and available both digitally and physically. Also, as the person editing this episode, I would like to apologize for my weird audio, I will use that stimulus money to buy myself an actual mic. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen's writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post. Read Helen's review of both of the volumes over at The OASG. Listen Show notes: No show notes this time, just manga talk. Next time is TBD.
