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!

Show Notes 0:00: Justin and Helen once again find some time to share what they’ve been up to…ok, only Justin has a title he liked a lot, and it’s published by TOKYOPOP! News 5:53: The hosts then get into discuss Crunchyroll’s latest troubles, ranging from layoffs to a possible security breach that also gets Justin to discuss reporting in the big 2026. 21:02: A couple episodes ago the hosts discussed one live event being cancelled in Japan due to threats — now we’ve gotten another one, this time involving Love Live! and Japan Airlines. 23:02: The Culprit Hanzawa manga is going on hiatus for an unspecified time; meanwhile Kōji Kumeta suffered a finger injury, so he’ll be on hiatus until that heals up. Let’s just say his explanation on how he suffered the cut is indeed hilarious. 24:55: Saint Seiya Episode.G: Requiem is back on Akita Shoten’s Champion Cross website following a 3-month hiatus; Naoki Urasawa’s Asadora is now also back from its hiatus, returning to Shogakukan’s Weekly Big Comic Spirits; and we have another manga magazine in Japan ending publication — Kadokawa’s Comic Alunna. 26:23: The alternative rock band the pillows announced that the band’s drummer, Shinichiro Sato, died on March 23 due to esophageal cancer; The editorial staff of Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine announced a few weeks ago that manga creator Majuro Kaname died in February; and publisher Chikuma Shobo announced that manga creator, Yoshiharu Tsuge, died of aspiration pneumonia at the age of 88. Licenses 30:16: For whatever reason, Titan Manga decided it was finally time to announce what they’re up to for this year: FLIPFLOPs's Darwin’s Game Arata Yamaji's Egnaro the Star-Eating Killer Shin Kazuki's Even After Doronjo-sama Was Reincarnated She Remained a Villainess kamatama's Nova, Little Girl in the Monster Forest Zino's Resident Evil: Death Island Touko Amekawa, Kuroyuki, & Nae Serizawa's The Legendary Witch is Reborn as an Oppressed Princess manga Togawa Yonan's Black Witch Mirror Tatsuya Tobitaka's Ifrit of the Sea Sand Yasuo Isanami's The Obsession of Red Riding Hood 32:29: Seven Seas’ Wonderful Wednesdays is back! Post Media-Do acquisition, which means the following series will be under scrutiny (unless mentioned otherwise) on how it’ll be handled: NEMUI ASADA’s I SAY Kazumi Takayama & tae’s Trapezium (Airship) Suzusuke, Shibanobancha, Yu Yagami, & Sumihei’s The One-Eyed, One-Armed, One-Legged Sorcerer Betty Tamamori’s Your Meteor, Hidden in Flowers Atsushi Suga’s A Quirky Girl is Inviting Me to Bed (Ghost Ship) TATAL & Masuda Mikio’s Legend of the Accidental Sword Saint: Playing the Mentor from the Sidelines (Airship, digital) A Siren audiobook release of Haka Tokura’s Magical Buffs: The Support Caster is Stronger Than He Realized!, narrated by Josh Hurley 34:32: (New manga) publisher Mahjong Pros appears to finally be establishing itself this year, as they announced they’ve licensed the following titles: Hideki Ohwara’s Reform with No Wasted Draws: The Legend of Koizumi Yoshiki Suda & Mio Junta’s Crybaby Mermaid: Illustrated Memoir of Yuumi Uotani Bingo Morihashi & Drill Jill’s Getter Robo High Ayato Sasakura’s Vermilion Stella: Illustrated Memoir of Arisa Date 36:55: Yen Press had a good amount of announcements ahead of their yearly Sakuracon appearance: Shōichi Taguchi & Sugaru Miaki's Three Days of Happiness manga (YP already pubbed the novel) Mitsubachi Miyuki's I'm Just in a Faux BL Suzuka Morino's Servant Beast Watomura's I’m Home, Pardoning the Intrusion Ayune Araragi's Ms. Isshiki Wants to Know About Love Kazune Yamamoto's What Six Survivors Told…… Gen Momoji's Let's Go Nirvana!

My Summoned Beast Is Cute! (Yen On) An omnibus edition of Yoshiki Tonogai's JUDGE 38:43: Usually Justin or manga enthusiasts looking at retailers catch TOKYOPOP licensing lots of things without them saying anything for like months — but it finally seems like TOKYOPOP’s getting around to announcing what they have on time: Lemon Fujikura's My One-Sided Love Hinako Yugumo's If I Could Write My Love Into You Kisa Inami's Blue Spring in Your Eyes Jiro Ōnishi's How to Befriend a Demon Kana's Our Lucky Future Together Hana Ikuta's The Shadow and the Flower Toworu Miyata's Aoharu Once More Kouji Setsu's Enomoto Is No Angel Toto Tsurui's Spicy Milk Candy/Toto Tsurui's Good Hair & Bad Habits Seno Yanase's The Lion Dances With a Loved One Joe Aruku's Caught in Your Web 39:58: Crossed Hearts has licensed Mei Fujimatsu & Satsuki Haru’s Afternoon Tea for Two for their Glam Beat! yuri imprint; Abrams Kana announced they’ve licensed Makiburo, Nazuna Shiraume, & Mai Murasaki’s Within The Villainess manga; MANGA Plus has added Maki Kanemaki’s The Hero’s Bereaved Family to their service; and more Discotek titles have been added to the MediaOCD Discotek Deep Dives list. Streaming News 42:23: During the Akane-banashi YouTube live stream, global streaming platforms and details were revealed for the anime, which premieres later this week. This got Justin to go down an unlikely rabbit hole as another Weekly Shonen Jump title does not go to Crunchyroll for some reason (and instead, it’ll stream for North American users on YouTube, with Netflix streaming the anime beginning in May). 49:36: Helen gets to talk about the other bizarre streaming situation this Spring in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, which had its first episode (1st STAGE) go up on Netflix, and nothing else. The 2nd STAGE has been announced to air in 2026. When in 2026? Only the execs at Netflix know apparently! And this sure has led to a LOT of discussion regarding how this series has been handled since Netflix made the deal with david production years ago. 1:00:15: The newest anime streaming service in North America, Amasian TV, just added Mugen Train and that can be watched for free; The Crave streaming platform in Canada added 14 anime films, from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero to In This Corner of the World; Lupin the IIIrd The Movie: The Immortal Bloodline has been released digitally for rental or purchase by GKIDS, with a BD release (collaboration with Shout! Studios) coming in July; and thanks to GKIDS, Gundam fans will get to see the second film of the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway anime project in US theaters May 15. Weird News 1:02:29: You say it’s over…it’s never over apparently! For Shadow Skill, which ended 12 years ago, clearly it getting a sequel shows you can return no matter what; and as rumored, From Far Away is getting an anime adaptation — the shoujo manga started in 1991! 1:08:04: You know, there’s not too many cases where an anime character is added to a video game, and certainly not a fighting game, so we had to note Kenshiro getting added to the latest Fatal Fury game; and sure, bringing back a 4KIDS voice actor can be kind of interesting but generally not terribly weird, but for this particular run of One Piece, there’s levels to having Erica Schroeder return to the One Piece franchise as Joyboy.

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!

Show Notes 0:00: Justin and Helen return from hibernation (and attempting to stay warm in the East coast) to resume recording episodes of It’s Not My Fault TheOASG Podcast is Not Popular, and with the break, means catching up to things from even late December to January. The hosts start with once again a scanlation site shutting down, and what this ultimately means considering who was involved (and maybe not Kakao, which gets both hosts explaining how manhwa copyrights are…crazy) News 12:36: MediaOCD will be distributing Discotek Media’s catalog (as much as they can), and based on information online this project seems to have been sped up following a number of home media titles being delisted on Crunchyroll. This gets both hosts speculating on what this means, and why it sometimes now gets harder and harder to support official publishers. 18:59: Netflix continues making some deals as they’ve worked out a partnership with MAPPA and will be working with TOHO (and their new studio) to produce a bunch of works in a couple years 21:35: We got some hiatuses and returns to cover, starting with The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses manga being continued; after just not having any new chapters since 2022, The Girl, the Shovel, and the Evil Eye manga will return and also finish in a couple chapters; Kemono Jihen is taking a one-issue break due to Sho Aimoto suffering from gastroenteritis to start 2026; Phantom Busters will be on break as something’s going on with Neoshoco, the hosts hope they’re ok; The hosts break down what the heck’s going on with The New Prince of Tennis series as it went through some major editor mismanagement, enough to wear there could not be a new chapter in Jump SQ; The Days of Diamond will go on hiatus, no announcement on its return; Bocchi the Rock! was intended to return this month, but Aki Hamaji’s health has not improved enough to return to serialization, so the hiatus will continue; and in final manga hiatuses, Hajime no Ippo’s taking a break, no announcement on when it’ll return. 25:38: Makes sense that Go Nagai will be inducted into this year’s Eisner’s Hall of Fame, took them long enough; Manga creator Hisashi Eguchi apologized in December after tracing allegations were made back in October that had a number of companies suspend working with him; Chitose in the Ramune Bottle’s got some work to do following its delay due to production issues; And apparently A Tale of the Secret Saint needs more work as it’s been pushed from Spring to Fall season; What in the world is going with the Madoka movie? Well no one knows except that’s now been delayed from its release this month to an unannounced date; and the voice of Hitomi Koshigaya, Yumiri Hanamori, stepped down from the role for an undisclosed reason. So for the upcoming Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. anime, there will need to be a new voice for her. 30:53: Talent agency Aoni Production announced that voice actor Kōzō Shioya had died on January 20 due to cerebral hemorrhage — a number of people noted his impact on them and sent their condolences on social media on this difficult loss. Licenses 31:57: Seven Seas and their Wonderful Wednesdays have returned for 2026! That means catching up to everything they’ve announced in January: Hayate Kuku's Yoichi & Tsugumo Daken, Mugi Sawai & saino's The Wicked Princess and Her Twelve Eyes: The Legendary Villainess and Her Elite Assassins manga Mizuhara's Working as a Goddess!

Osamu Tezuka’s Black Jack as an oversized Deluxe Edition and a Full Color Selection of Muneyuki Kaneshiro & Yusuke Nomura’s Blue Lock 37:23: Yen Press also decided to start the year off pretty strong as well: Hoku Tomose's List Rouge Masaaki Nakayama's Seeds of Anxiety: Asterisk Sakuhiro's The Crow’s Ballad at Dawn Umi Ruike's Beneath the Fur Akumi Agitogi & Kei Tamura's The Bubble Love of the Mermaid manga Daisuke Motomi's Magic Doctor Rex's Perverted Medical Record Nanigashi Shima & raemz's Love Unseen Beneath the Radiant Night Sky (Yen On) 38:16: Cross Infinite World has licensed these three titles: Mayo Momoyo & Wan Hachipisu's The Brooding Duke's Guide to the Lie-Detecting Lady, Mashimesa Emoto & Nitou Akane's Goodbye, Horrible Fiancé, Hello, Fun Magic School Life! and Hanami Nishine & Renta's Strawberry Princess: The Time Loop Defying Villainess; Abrams ComicArts’ Kana imprint announced they’ve licensed Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Kensuke Nishida’s Jagaan manga; Nao Iori’s Manaka the Human and the Slaughter Robot, Yuto Ito’s Goodbye My Idol, & Manose and Miharu’s Island Rock have been added to MANGA Plus; Crossed Hearts has licensed Akisuke’s The Executioner of Grenimal and Hanami Nishine & Satsuki Amamiya’s The Matchmaker’s Fiancé: My Fiancé Won’t Leave Me Alone While I’m Finding Him The Ideal Bride; and Manga Mavericks announced they’ve licensed Koukoku Brothers's Divine Messengers and Demonic Guardians & Banjo Saitou's Vegetable Sandwich 40:40: Meanwhile, Discotek had a few announcements, and yes, more Lupin the 3rd is a given at this point for them! Streaming News 41:34: The Dangers in My Heart compilation film will be screened in some of the more popular cities this month; Whoever Steals This Book has been acquired by Crunchyroll and will also make its debut at the New York International Children’s Film Festival. 43:11: Remember when Oshi no Ko S3 got picked up by Crunchyroll? What did that mean for HIDIVE since they had the first two seasons? Absolutely nothing apparently since HIDIVE is still streaming it; Justin gets to talk about his excitement about the Umamusume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era being in theaters at the end of the month; And Helen wonders why ALDNOAH.ZERO is back as Crunchyroll has added the English dub — which includes a new episode that aired in Japan last year — to their service. 46:10: A few anime will be on Netflix this year: Kyoto Animation’s Sparks of Tomorrow (in the summer) and Studio KAI’s Ramparts of Ice (in Spring); 47:05: So there were two anime that aired in Japan last year — April Showers Bring May Flowers and Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded — that was not picked up by an official service…until now! Prime now is streaming these anime; Fawesome began streaming the Despair of the Monster indie anime film sometime this past December, but at the moment only those in Canada and the UK can watch it. Weird News 49:18: More news about live-action Gundam keeps pouring out, and it gets even closer to becoming a real thing; Pokémon and Hatsune Miku is a thing again; The X (Twitter) continues to just get worse and its editing image feature for lots of people had a couple artists saying they do not want to put their illustrations on there. 55:36: The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio is over!…in print! It’s still ongoing digitally though. This gets Helen wondering however… 57:48: Sugar Sugar Rune has been added to Tubi…BUT there's a reason why it's in the weird news section! So far not at Tai Chi Chasers level, but… 59:32: Rumiko Takahashi made a trip to San Francisco some time ago (which can probably mean VIZ and her are cooking something) and visited a museum — somehow Bible Black is brought up in this part (Why Helen, just why); Justin wonders if Sazae-san is gearing up to be released overseas moving forward now that it’ll see its first overseas release in Taiwan; Otakon announced on Bluesky on Thursday the event is no longer allowing the sale of fan art in its dealers room beginning with the 2026 event, and Helen explains what this means. 1:05:17: Anime can make famous actors cry — see Michael B. Jordan crying over My Hero Academia — and can have its own category on Jeopardy!. Both hosts wonder if anime has become too mainstream… 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!

Nobody cared who I was until I put on the kigurumi. This week we have our Manga Recap of Volume 111 with Vero, Josh McKenzie, and Delaney Jordan, featuring special guest Stephen Paul (translator for One Piece in Shonen Jump and Manga Plus). We also have our Piece Together segment followed by every fujoshi's favorite game, the Yaoi Thunderdome! (Editor's note: this week's Anime Recap has been postponed, but every time we say it's coming up in the episode it's surrounded by a funny bit, so we'll just have to immortalize being wrong for comedy's sake.) 00:00:00 Introduction; 00:09:48 Manga Recap: Vol. 111; 01:28:54 Piece Together; 01:40:27 Yaoi Thunderdome & To Be Continued!
