What if a Showa-era Japan crossed dimensions, crushed modern tech, and censored every spark of otaku culture—then discovered passion could still punch back? We dive into Rumble Garandoll's high-concept world where mechs run on shared enthusiasm and rebellion wears a chibi smile. The premise lands fast: Ginbu gas shuts down conventional weapons, the True Army puppets the state, and anime, idols, and games move underground. In that pressure cooker, style becomes strategy and fandom becomes fuel.We follow Hosomichi, a smooth talker hiding his love for a “failed” mecha classic his father produced. That family shadow reframes his distance as protection, not apathy, and his near-heist with Munakata tests whether he'll cash out or commit. The Battery Girls—Reen the anime diehard, Yuki the last idol with teeth, and Misa the shut-in hacker—turn the cockpit into a trust exercise. Sync equals strength; misalignment breaks metal and hearts. A sharp twist with Yamada and Mimi hammers the cost of being out of tune, converting emotional static into literal damage on the field.We break down the animal-themed Garandoll designs, the punchy music cues, and the way cute projections offset real stakes without draining them. We also call out what's missing: with only twelve episodes, the True Army feels capable but thin, and a charged bond between Reen and Hayate needed more time to smolder before the reveal. Still, the show's core idea sings—culture isn't fluff, it's power. Songs, shows, and games carry memory and meaning, and in this story they power a fight for identity one synced heartbeat at a time.Hit play to hear our full take, from standout moments to the 8.5 score and the case for a longer run. If this blend of alt-history, mecha spectacle, and fandom-as-fuel speaks to you, subscribe, share the pod with a friend, and drop a review telling us which Battery Girl you'd pilot with and why.Text us for feedback and recommendations for future episodes!Support the showWe thank everyone for listening to our podcast!

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it's my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven't seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time's gone by. This month, Animeigo's Kickstarter bluray for Dagger of Kamui found it's way to my doorstep one cold December morning...so what better time to revisit this 80s Rintaro classic? This movie truly has everything: Ninja, monks, psychedelic flashing colors, cowboys, treasure hunts, a banger soundtrack, and even Mark Twain! But is that truly enough to make this movie great?

You can watch the first season of DANDADAN on Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime or.. heck.. just look for it.

Nitesh Rohit (AnimeCon India) and Rohit Shrestha (Otaku Jatra) are key figures behind the rise of anime conventions in South Asia, popularizing Japanese anime in India and Nepal through cosplay, screenings, gaming zones, artist alleys, and creative workshops empowering youth, supporting local artists, and boosting pop-culture tourism.
Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, author Hiroko Yoda joins the Krewe to break down how spirituality quietly shapes everyday life in Japan, from nature and kami to shrines, folklore, and even anime. With personal stories and insights from her new book, Eight Million Ways to Happiness, this conversation offers a fresh look at happiness rooted in connection, not belief.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

“Remember when” is the lowest form of conversation–we put that theory to the test on this episode on the pokemania of the late 90s and early 2000s. After unexpected success in Japan, Pokemon launches in America in late 1998 and becomes ubiquitous in America soon after as not a single media, but as an entire world accessible through video games, TV, cards, movies, and plush toys. We discuss the globalocalization of Pokemon by Nintendo, Kawaii and the Otaku in this episode.

There is been one disappointment after another recently. Chatty Patty almost goes to a Kodansha House lottery event, Crunchyroll suddenly doesn't know how to make subtitles, and Wandance's animation is a disgrace. At least with the bitter there is a little bit of sweet in the form of some Fall 2025 anime that caught our attention. In a good way this time. 00:04:31 - It's hard to love Kodansha house as an Otaku00:22:03 - Wandance - anime fall 2025 00:29:30 - Crunchyroll, what the hell are you doing with these subtitles00:41:36 - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle00:52:43 - May I Ask for One Final Thing? - anime fall 202500:54:56 - Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! - anime fall 202500:56:44 - Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider - anime fall 202500:58:54 - A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace - anime fall 2025

Since just recently, the official Sailor Moon Youtube Channel let folks watch official recordings of Sailor Moon: The Super Live, I figured this episode where I talk to friend of the podcast Laura Watton about our experiences watching The Super Live in the US and the UK, would be one that a lot of you might enjoy. Here's my original description for the episode:On this episode, we talk about how it feels like we've gone back in time when it comes to anime we're watching (from Ranma 1/2 and Dragon Ball Daima, to Gundam G-Quacks!), and I talk a little bit about seeing Tomcat's Big Adventure on the big screen! Then, we dig into our experiences seeing the stage show Sailor Moon: The Super Live--Laura seeing it in the UK, and me seeing it it on the USA tour. Were there any big differences between the two productions? Let's find out!

Send us a textRemember when cell phones weren't just rectangular slabs of glass? When having the right phone clipped to your hip made you the coolest person in the room? This week, we're diving deep into tech nostalgia while also exploring Apple's latest offering.Lexi shares her honest review of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, highlighting the silver colorway (not her first choice), improved telephoto lens, larger battery, and vapor chamber for better heat management. The most impressive feature? Live translation that actually works in multiple languages. But as we discuss these incremental improvements, we can't help wondering: is Apple truly innovating anymore, or just making minor tweaks to the same design?This leads us down memory lane to the golden era of mobile devices. From the iconic T-Mobile Sidekick with its satisfying flip mechanism to Blackberry Curves, Motorola Razors in rainbow colors, and Nokia's gaming-focused N-Gage. We reminisce about a time when phones had personality and carriers like Nextel, Alltel, and Cingular created unique experiences that have vanished in today's consolidated market.We also explore Tesla's autopilot functionality and the concerning ways some drivers bypass safety features, custom truck modifications, and our milestone of reaching 300 followers on TikTok. It's a conversation that bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and the character-filled gadgets of yesterday.What was your favorite old-school phone? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to follow us on social media for more tech talks and nostalgic trips! https://www.carolinaotakus.com/
