Fandom Post Radio

The regular crew is nestled all snug in our podcasting studios, ready to mostly cap off the Fall 2024 anime season. The ghosts of anime properties past are haunting the season while visions of crunch are ready to pass judgement... okay, so my metaphor is failing apart. What’s been naughty and what’s been very nice, we discuss. Plus some recommendations and news. Have a safe and happy holiday! See you next year!

A great soundtrack can elevate any work. Cain, Kestrel, and Brandon have compiled a list of favorite anime composers, both theirs and yours, to discuss their work and impact on the industry.  Selected music excerpts include: Joe Hisaishi: One Summer’s Day (あの夏へ) from Spirited Away Yoko Kanno: Tank! from Cowboy Bebop Kensuke Ushio: lit (var) from A Silent Voice Kenji Kawai: Making of Cyborg from Ghost in the Shell Yoshihisa Hirano: The World of Adventurers from Hunter x Hunter, and Beyond the Seas from Hunter x Hunter

This is Fanzenshuu... Okay, that's not a thing. We may not be fusing with Kanzenshuu, but we wished upon the Dragon Balls to summon them for the task of discussing Akira Toriyama's legendary franchise as it hits 40 years strong. Between Toriyama's passing and the first new TV series in 9 years, this year has given us a lot to think about for this big anniversary. Kestrel is joined by Cain, Brandon for the first time in a while, and of course the respective founders of the highly detailed Dragon Ball fan sites that would fuse to become the all-encompassing Kanzenshuu. We cover the franchise as well as Kanzenshuu and its predecessors, and like any good battle in DBZ, it takes way longer than we expect.

So... it’s been a minute but we’re back from our late summer break. We have new fall anime to talk about, including the return of some favorites. We discuss Uzumaki, Orb, Blue Locl, Dan da Dan, Ranma 1/2, Natsume and more! Plus some more passings in the industry and other lighter news, and some recommendation! ---AIRHORN SOUNDS---

The dog days of summer are a bit slow this year. So slow that half our regulars aren’t even watching anime! Good thing we have a bunch of Otakon news to talk about, as well as the biggest anime leak in years. YEARS. Then we cover what everyone has been watching, such as Tower of God, Spice & Wolf, Nekotan, DeadDeadDemonDedede... well, you get the point. Got something you’ve been watching that’s been getting you out of the summer doldrums? Let us know!
