Dreaming Machine / Keyframe | An Animation & Anime Podcast

I’ll Have a Bahamut on Ice We kick off with our featured anime this week (Rage of Bahamut: Genesis and A Certain Scientific Railgun S), before things degenerate into an impromptu discussion about dubbing, redubbing, and rebooting. All of that leads to a post-show hunt for an All-Purpose Cultural Catgirl with a Scouse accent on Ebay. If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your fri...

The Adventures of Trevor the Whip Guy The Summer anime season has started so we put some of the new shows under the first impressions microscope to find out if they’re any good.

Things get a little ranty this week as we try to work out if long-running shounen are still relevant, or if the desire to produce the next One Piece/Dragon Ball/Bleach/Naruto is nothing more than a false hope. Our featured anime are Little Busters! Refrain, Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions and Boruto: Naruto The Movie. #LittleBusters #Refrain #YuGiOh #DarkSideOfDimensions #Boruto #Naruto #An...

This week we ditch the boring old news and trailers and try to have an actual conversation about animation.

Our featured anime are Wish Upon The Pleiades, Ergo Proxy and Digimon Adventure tri. Chapter 1: Reunion. #WishUponThePlieades #HoukagoNoPleiades #ErgoProxy #...

This week we ditch the old ways and embrace a new mindset.

Our featured anime are Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist (Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Tai...

It's a shorter show than normal this week, partly because it's awards season. Normal service will resume shortly (I've always wanted to say that).

Aside from another bunch of trailers we complain about public polls to find the “best” anime. Our featured anime are Punch Line and Transformers: The Movie (the original, not the Michael Bay one - and before you ask, yes, it is an anime). . #Animation #Anime #Cartoons #Keyframe #MAPPA #NelsonShin #News #Podcasts #PunchLine #Reviews #ShojiKawamori #ShouzoTajima #TheGeekShow #ToeiAnimation #Transfor...
