KFR 153: Angel's Egg is a bit... odd?

Angel’s Egg is a bit of an oddity – it has hardly any dialogue, the characters are unnamed, there are weird groups of ghostly fishermen, and – of course – a girl carrying an egg. Released in 1985, the film is an avante garde story set in a fantastical setting. And you know you’re in for a wild ride when even the creator says they don’t know what it’s about! It’s a piece of anime cinema that predates some of the biggest films of the era, and with the 4K remaster out in the wild, you might be tempted to check it out. But be warned – it’s an odd experience, especially in todays fast paced and attention grabbing world of entertainment! VIDEOS!

KFR 152: You need to watch Fujimoto Tatsuki 17-26

Fujimoto Tatsuki is now fairly well known for his action blockbuster series Chainsaw Man, the very strange manga Fire Punch and his introspective short Look Back. But before any of these stories began, Fujimoto-san wrote several one-shot manga that he submitted to manga awards and contests between the ages of 17 and 26. These short stories were collected into two manga volumes in 2021 and were just released as an anime compilation series on Amazon Prime! Collecting a selection of his works from 2011 through to 2018 (Kyle apologises for getting the date wrong in the episode!), Fujimoto Tatsuki 17-26 shows how the manga-ka’s work evolved over time and gives us glimpses of the ideas that would go on to shape some of his future work! They’re also just great fun! You can watch it here: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Tatsuki-Fujimoto-17-26/0O1YMOCTYRHW1QWHTGOS6YASPJ [https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Tatsuki-Fujimoto-17-26/0O1YMOCTYRHW1QWHTGOS6YASPJ] Join us at Hoshicon 2025!

KFR 151: Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc

Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc has been doing fantastically in cinemas around the world! It's violent, bloody, and a real punch in the gut, featuring spectacular artwork and storytelling. Is Denji still emotionally stunted? Yes, and the story wouldn't be anywhere near as compelling if he wasn't still learning about the world. Plus all our usual shenanigans, the latest anime news and a few recommendations from this season and the manga catalogue! P.s. We're releasing on Wednesdays going forward! Join us at Hoshicon 2025!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Halloween is upon us and - as is tradition – we’ve let our Patreon members choose this episode’s topic… and we should have known better XD This episode, we dive into the world of Ecchi-Horror – a niche genre that tries to offset the violence and psychological impact of horror with content from the other end of the genre spectrum.

KFR 149: Flashback to the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie?

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle - Part 1 has been obliterating records for Japanese films throughout its run – and in some countries, it’s not even opened yet! Aaron, Kenny and Kyle sit down to talk about the latest instalment in this blockbuster franchise, but be warned: there will be very mild spoilers, too many flashbacks and a surprise Tatem Channings. Plus, what we’ve seen from the new season, hi-fives and a rather beefy anime news segment alongside our usual hijinks! Join us at Hoshicon 2025!
