Animateys Podcast

Here we (almost) are in the future, and everything's absolved once your family trauma is dealt with..... right?! Empires are just bad feelz, right? Our last look at O.G. Steven Universe, seasons 4 and 5, is here!

Your mom isn't as cool as you are, Steven. Seasons 2 and 3 really do a lot of work. New gems, new threats, new trauma, new songs, and more Pearl being Pearl.

All I want to do is see you turn into a giant woman. Steven Universe season 1 begins the end of our big 3 shows of the golden era!

Spooky monsters and sibling hijinks about in this episode of Animateys! We're investigating the mysterious success of this Disney show and discuss its place in our Cartoon Renaissance period. Please Dipper in and Mable you will have a listen!

As sad as it is, we've reached the end of our journey with Adventure Time. Come along with us, through the last (long) episode for this amazing and groundbreaking show. We promise the extra time is worth it!

Hop on board mateys for this newest episode! We're talking about seasons 7 and 8 of Adventure Time in our penultimate Adventure Time episode!

This week we go through seasons 5 - 6 of Adventure Time!

We continue our journey through Ooo with Adventure Time, seasons 2 - 4.

Animateys time, come on grab your friends, we're going to very distant lands, with Chris the prof and Paige the human, the fun will never end it's Animateys time! The first episode in our multi-episode series on Adventure Time, what it's done for us and the medium as a whole. We're setting up the show and talking a bit about the characters and the first two seasons.

Hm, Hm Hm. OOOOOOOOOOO. Everyone's been there: early to mid twenties, directionless, working a menial job, and attacked by giant floating heads and pie demons. Regular Show is the first show in our "Cartoon Renaissance" lineup, and what a fun first entry it is!

This episode marks the begining of SEASON 3! It's amazing we made it this far and we would like to thank everyone who helped and continues to help support us! This season will focus in on the period we're calling the "Holy Modern Cartoon Renaissance". Before we can arrive there, however, we must see how we are to get there. This show is the incubator for so many shows that followed, and we wanted...

Ju-lee, do the last thing! Our final romp through Korra includes bisexuality, fascism, healing, PTSD, and lots of giant robots (which Shinji won't get in).

"Release your earthly tethers, enter the void, empty, and become wind."

Spirits, civil war, movies, and bad relationships - this season has it all! We unpack a lot of material this week on a longer-than-usual episode. JULEE, DO THE THING!

We begin the end of Season 2 with a continuation of the Avatar phenomenon: Legend of Korra! We're going to "bend" the rules a bit and do an episode per season. We hope we have the right "elements" featured in this episode. I promise that's the last pun, I'm "naga"-nna put anymore in this description!

A followup to our Sailor Moon episode, this week we focus on a modern take of the magical girl genre of anime: Madoka Magica! In a show which Nietzsche would fawn over like a little girl, the universe is meaningless, good things are really bad, and perhaps bad things aren't so bad? Girls in bouncy outfits with magic powers shouldn't make us think this much about the nature of our world!

Aahhhhhhhhhhhh! We're back with a show that will probably make you go "oh yea, I remember that one". We return to early Nickelodeon with the gross, gag-filled show that is Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. We review its inception, aesthetic and some different ideas present throughout. This weeks show is a bit shorter and slightly more tangential, but we hope you like it!

Fall is upon us, so we are getting in the spirit with some spooky fun! Over the Garden Wall is a beautiful miniseries that ran on Cartoon Network in 2014. We hope you love it as much as we did.

A continuation of last week's episode about Sailor Moon!

In the name of the moon we will punish you! We begin our occasional forays into anime with anime that 90's kids would have seen on TV. One of our earliest introductions of anime was the one and only Sailor Moon. This week is mostly an introduction to some issues in anime, the magical girl genre, and a plot rundown of Sailor Moon. Next week we will be discussing themes and other more content-relate...

This week we're coming in hot with Season 3 of Avatar the Last Airbender! We wrap up some very fulfilling story and character arcs, all while discussing the very complex emotions and situations the last season creates for the viewer.

We continue this week with Book 2 of Avatar the Last Airbender! Always remember: there is no war in Ba Sing Se.

Avatar the Last Airbender is a show that, for many, represents a clear example of masterful Western animation. We begin season 2 with the heavy-hitter, a fan favorite and a show jam-packed with a great story, characters, and also political, cultural, psychological, etc, themes. Join us and please enjoy!
