A twice-monthly anime podcast that delves into the latest anime industry news and community events. Surreal Resolution's official anime podcast.
It's June, and that means certain grown-ass people will be throwing a conniption fit over everything and everyone. But for us here, that means only one month until Anime Expo, and also a bit of a lull until then, so we'll be spending the month looking around for some interesting stories to talk about. In this case, said stories of interest include a strange revelation of a Death Note MUSICAL, a look at the manga and novel sales num...
You know what's great about double entendres? They always apply more than one way, and in this case, it's about a bad movie and a bad manga application. Because why go for easy success when failure is an option too? And along with talking about bad failures, we also like to talk about good things, like good shows getting a good dub cast, good shows getting a second chance on home video (in some regions), good cases of lost media be...
Even we can't believe we made it to 150 shows. It doesn't even feel like it's been that long, but alas. What a wild journey it's been, and it's still not over yet, and to commemorate this milestone... well, the newsroom was slower than usual over the past few weeks. So, the executive decision was made to bring back a time-trued time-killer in recounting the spring 2023 season dub casts and tack on a full Movie Night show, as well -...
Well, it took a month, but all of us are back in the swing of things, and not a moment too soon either - Sakura-Con, Anime Boston, AND AnimeJapan 2023 all happened and they brought their own slew of announcements to the table for us to sift through and discuss. And to go along with that, we have another dabble in the wild world of lost media, our brief thoughts on the now-over winter season, plenty of non-AnimeJapan project announc...
Well this is certainly something different. Thanks to some scheduling snafus on all of our ends, we haven't been able to do a normal show for a while, and with nearly a month passed since our last show this brings us to an emergency last-minute bonus show: an hour and change of rambling about the world of live-action anime known as professional wrestling. All of the good and bad of WrestleMania weekend, the biggest weekend of the w...
“It’s almost like big companies make the worst crap.” - Wade “DankPods” Nixon
We try to move past the Crunchyroll Anime Awards show thing, and every year we find ourselves sinking deeper and deeper into its aura of apathy. We don't criticize these events out of a place of bad faith or spite, we do it because we know this company can be so much better, but it seems like wishing for the best isn't what's best for business because ...
Some shows have a central theme that dictate how the rest of the episode will play out, and some shows don't have a real theme to it and are just a hodgepodge of "stuff" to talk about. This is the latter, as we discuss the legacy of Leiji Matsumoto and some questionable future plans from Toei, more continued production delays, whatever this new Zoids project is, and another round of "internet translators are loud and annoying and n...
You ever have one of THOSE kinds of weeks? Feels like it was one of those weeks for everyone this week, but with the Super Bowl imminent there's no better way to get ready for it than to listen to 2 hours of anime talk - trust us, it's way better than 7 hours of pregame coverage. And for this particular edition, we have a pretty hefty DISCOTEK DAY to go through, some choice words from an anime legend on some projects with his name ...
Many years ago, people were comparing Attack on Titan to The Walking Dead in tone and structure. Today, those comparisons continue, only… wait, this is how an episode from last year started off. Well, it happened again, in even more stupefying fashion if you can believe it. And to go along with that, we have what’s become an annual tradition at this point: trying to make sense of the Crunchyroll Anime Awards nominations list. But a...
Well, we've made it to 2023. Somehow. In commemoration of this achievement, we're getting back to what we do sort-of best: small town college anime club-styled radio. Admit it, you've missed us, too. And to get back into the swing of things, we have something everyone enjoys: LISTS. And a good number of them, recounting the things that came out in the year prior, from the good and bad to the curiously headscratching. As per usual w...
After a rather eventful month (to say the least), we close things out for the season - and the year - a bit early with a rundown of what happened at Anime NYC with a spoiler: A PLACE FURTHER THAN THE UNIVERSE DUB IS HAPPENING. And along with that, we have confirmed locks for HiDive and Crunchyroll, a pair of shows coming in 2023 that are both interesting and not, and there's a new world champion around these parts - after a 25 year...
In Memoriam Kevin Conroy 1955-2022
It’s been about a month since our last main show so that means one thing: a LOT of catching up to do for every aspect of the industry. From weird and interesting new anime announcements to changes in a few business sectors, upcoming dubs and upcoming sequel seasons, weird ventures into the real world, and the biggest thing of the last few weeks: the latest DISCOTEK DAY that had a little bit of ...
Well, we made it. One of the biggest anime seasons in history, and we're talking all of it... or at least most of it. It's time to finally tackle the fall 2022 anime season, a season so giant that we're intentionally doing this in two episodes to give everything the time they all deserve. In this second part, we tackle the biggest shows of the season - and possibly of 2022 as a whole - and give them plenty of time to shine, be it t...
Well, we made it. One of the biggest anime seasons in history, and we're talking all of it... or at least most of it. It's time to finally tackle the fall 2022 anime season, a season so giant that we're intentionally doing this in two episodes to give everything the time they all deserve. In this first part, because there actually are other shows worth checking out besides the super big titles, we go through the best of the rest fr...
The fall season has begun, and Chainsaw Man Tuesdays are here to make your work week that much more enjoyable - and insane. And before we begin our deep dive on the seasonal offerings, we have some happenings from New York Comic-Con to go over, some more adventures in paywalled internet content from both sides of the Atlantic, updates on stories from our last show, and some lighter levity in the end to balance things out. Negativit...
With the fall season upon us, commencing in mere hours, the back half of September has been assessing the good and bad of big platforms - sometimes you get really great news, but more often than not you get really awful news. And in rare cases, said awful news could easily be avoided if not for taking the "scenic route" and burning several bridges in the process. Yes, we're an opinionated show, but that opinionated nature comes fro...
It has been one month since our last main episode, and while some things are changing around here some things will remain the same - namely, the "season" gimmick and the non-sequitur titles and pictures. Those aren't ever going away. And to kick off this new run of shows, we have a discovery of a long-lost Saban pitch pilot, how a big summer show flew too close to the sun and has been punted to restart in fall, a curiously interest...
Back at it a bit too long since our last special movie episode, it's time to take in the bombastic and earth-shattering awe of the latest anime blockbuster in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero! Witness the glory of domesticated Piccolo, the cuteness of young Pan, what Wario would sound like as a mob boss and what Tanjiro would sound like as a mad scientist, and the greatest (or dumbest, perspective will vary) version of Gohan yet.
i...
Yeah, the whole "numbered seasons" gimmick is still going. Couldn't tell you why, it's just an organizational thing. And speaking of seasons, the summer season is in full swing, even if it's a bit "ehhhhh" in comparison to others, but maybe that's by design because of what's coming up in the fall. Namely, TOO MUCH. But until then, we have a more lax summer season to discuss, weaving through some more average titles to find some dia...
The month of July has come and gone, and as we look back on it we can say that it was a pretty strange and wild month across the board. But as the dog days of summer trek onward, so does this show, with plenty of big convention announcements and dub casts for the roll call of the season - and even some extra bits that show that Crunchyroll is just doing way, way, WAY too much for us to keep track of.
There will also be some hars...
