We’re back with our second look at wrestling related anime. This time we check out Kinnikuman, Plawres Sanshiro, a Dirty Pair OAV, Metal Fighter Miku and Wanna Be the Strongest in the World. And joining us to do all that is Gary Hedges.

Except he forgot to watch any of the anime we told him to watch!

But that won’t stop us recording a podcast, so join us as we dabble our toes in the stormy waters of wrestling themed anime and play a game of ANIME ACRONYMS~!

Rumiko Takahashi

Aaron Long joins us to watch an episode from each and every one of the TV adaptations of Rumiko Takahashi’s work. From visa problems to penguins to pandas to yokai, it’s all here on this episode recorded 12th July. Not quite 2 months late! Hopefully I managed to catch every reference to Kitacon and get them edited out.

And when you’ve finished listening to this, go watch Aaron’s new cartoon Sublo & Tangy Mustard!

We double down on atomic cats, as we check out a couple of episodes of the Disney XD dub of Doraemon, before experiencing the masterpiece that is the 2006 Doraemon movie, Nobita’s Dinosaur.

Recorded June 24th, so already out of date, as UK’s Boomerang channel started airing Doraemon this week, upping the channel’s cat quotient beyond its already dangerously high levels of Tom, Sylvester and Garfield.

Here’s those Toyota commercials

Episode 186 – Kitacon!

kitacon

July 31st to August 2nd. Birmingham Hilton Metropole. Why would Brian Smith, Anthony Askew and Niall Flanagan meet in these hallowed halls on that weekend? To attend Kitacon, of course! The anime convention that appears ashamed of its roots and fudges things by calling itself a “UK Anime and Geek Culture Convention”.

Boo to all things marketing themselves as “Geek Culture”.

Anyway, you can find more of this sort of thing in the podcast, so listen and enjoy, as three men successfully spend nearly 2 hours convincing themselves that they had a good time.

Plus: a quiz.
