The Podcast That Loves Anime
Recorded on August 19th, this podcast exists so we will hit episode 200 at the right time. We discuss episode 200, Leeds Film Festival and Flaming Hot Monster Munch. Plus: Brian makes too many mouse clicking noises. Sorry about that. Feel free to skip this episode, there’ll be another along shortly…

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Recorded June 24th, so already out of date, as UK’s Boomerang channel started airing Doraemon this week, upping the channel’s cat quotient beyond its already dangerously high levels of Tom, Sylvester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

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.

The Summer’s here and the time is right for a round up of the just-finishing and the just-about-to-start anime with Bradley Meek of the The Anime Now Podcast. That’s right, it’s the Summer Anime Preview episode!
What did we manage to watch? What catches our eye? What is the name of the quiz we’ve played multiple times before? We answer two of these questions on this episode of the podcast and if you know the answer to the other one, please add a comment.

We reach the end of Stardust Crusaders and the end of the weekly JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure podcast from Dynamite In the Brain and Secret Of The Sailor Madness. Far more talk of trepanning than you might expect, celebration of the bit part actors and teases of future podcasts, both JoJo’s and otherwise.
