Taiiku Podcast

We're back for anther January podcast with perhaps the best anime of 2016 (check in on our Top 5 Anime of 2016 podcast to find out!).

Listen Show notes: 0:31 - We start the show and talk a bit about Sayo Yamamoto! 11:10 - I ask the two Sayo Yamamoto-ians what their impressions were of the show before i...

We're back in the new year! It's the first podcast of the year and we start it off strong covering the previous season's sports anime offerings: Scorching Ping Pong Girls and Keijo!!!!!!!! With me is Ink ( @AnimatedInk ) for a combination of torture and surprising quality. Also I forgot to call Keijo!!!!!!!! by its alternative title, Hip Whip Girl. Oops. Listen Show notes: 0:30 - We start the show...

We're back again with the Reverse Thieves ' Anime Secret Santa! In 2014, I wrote about Hyouka , and in 2015, I wrote about Mawaru Penguindrum . Now, I've got Chris ( @gokuffy ) on the podcast and we're discussing Gankutsuo and Shimoneta . Opinions are varied on these shows... Thanks, as always, to Kate and Al of the Reverse Thieves for organizing this for however long they've been doing it. Always...

We are here with a sort of sports anime, but not really, but sports happened! Jared ( @savevsjared ) joins me to talk about Dragon Ball Super thus far. Listen Show notes: 0:30 - We start the show and talk about Dragon Ball Super! That's it! Next time should be Haikyu with Dylan ( @Hazukari ) and Josh Dunham ( @Josh_Dunham ), then Ping Pong Girls / Keijo!!!!!!!! with Ink ( @AnimatedInk ) and Kenny...

We're back just before the end of November! Chris ( @gokuffy ) and Ink ( @AnimatedInk ) joined me to complete the Chihayafuru redux podcast (instead of, you know, doing something like Slam Dunk, which has been on the shelf for forever, but baby steps here). Listen Show notes: 0:42 - We start the show and discuss Chris's thoughts on season one! 5:17 - DANCING IN THE STARLIGHT! 25:31 - We start talk...

It has been two years and change since I opened this podcast with the previously ill-recorded Chihayafuru episode and it's time for a revisit to this series. This is one of my favorite series of all time and, though it seemingly eschews as a sports anime, it definitely follows the same types of formula. It counts! Unlike a lot of the other things we do. Anyway! For this, I grabbed Chihayafuru fana...

Welcome back to the best damn sports anime podcast around! We're not talking about sports anime or manga again, as is typical. First up, I have the best cosplayer I know enough to ask on my podcast in Helen ( @WanderinDreamr ) to talk about Complex Age . Then, we've got Chris ( @gokuffy ), Ruby ( @PassionTentacle ), and Kenny ( @Minoru79 ) talking about the greatest anime of 2016: Love Live Sunshi...

We're back and it's almost the end of the month so I better release a podcast! I grab my best internet bud Chris ( @gokuffy ) to talk about three sports manga that have come out recently, Kuroko's Basketball , Yowamushi Pedal , and Haikyu . It's a little long! Listen Show notes: 0:31 - We shoot the shit a little, talk about what we've been watching. Symphogear, Berserk, Jojo's, Food Wars, High Sch...

We're talking about sports anime on the sports anime podcast! Chris informed me we had until the end of the month to watch Dear Boys (also known as Hoop Days) until it would be GONE FOREVER, so we did! This weird anime from 2003 didn't elicit many words, but it was surprisingly...well, just listen to this . Listen Show notes: 0:36 - We introduce ourselves and talk about Dear Boys! And that's it! I...

We're back with real life fake anime! I grabbed Ink ( @AnimatedInk ) and Tony ( @tondog ) to talk about a great show that just ended, Assassination Classroom ! Sports anime will probably resume eventually! I swear Slam Dunk WILL HAPPEN!! Listen Show notes: 0:30 - Introductions and what we've been watching! 7:56 - We start talking about Assassination Classroom! 48:48 - Break time! We talked about r...

Tony ( @tondog ) and I were bored and shooting the shit then I randomly threw out we should do our own WWE Mock Draft. So we did! An hour and a half or so later, I have an entire episode edited and ready to go. I wish every podcast was like this! Listen No show notes this time because it's just us talking about wrestling. Good times had all around.

I'm not ready!! Casey ( @MinovskyArticle ) and I aren't ready for the next part of Slam Dunk, so here we are in June without a podcast...until now. I have this cockamamie plan to review the entirety of YuYu Hakusho with Chris ( @gokuffy ), Casey, Dawn ( @bunnycartoon ), and Ruby ( @PassionTentacle ), which will be coming soon. But until then! Here's this episode zero of stuff tangentially related...

We're back on the Slam Dunk train! Back from the first episode are Dawn ( @bunnycartoon ) from the Anime Nostalgia podcast and Tom ( @calaggie ) from Sports in Fiction and Nigorimasen to cover episodes 33-48. Listen Show notes: 0:31 - We start the show and give Dawn and Tom's thoughts on episodes 15-32! 18:02 - We, as usual, got off on tangents during the break, but talked about that rugby guy for...

Alright, so this was three and a half hours of audio that we all recorded back in...March or something. It's now April, and I still haven't edited it...UNTIL NOW. I've gathered the usual suspects sans Tony (because I didn't want it to be four and a half hours, but he'll be back for something!) for counting down the top five movies of 2015. Back in the cohost chair is Camellia (the artist formerly...

Ace of Diamond is over!! We're all very, very sad. ;_; To wrap up the show, I brought on guests from the last episode Chris ( @gokuffy ) and Jared ( @jyareddo ) and we're joined by, from the Taisho Baseball Girls podcast, the Reverse Thieves ' Kate ( @narutakiRT ). Listen Show notes: 0:30 - Start of the episode and introductions! 4:00 - Kate recaps her experience with jumping into the show 70-odd...

We're back on the Slam Dunk train! Hear the roar of the crowd...And out from the locker room comes genius basketball man Hanamichi Sakuragi comes onto the court with everyone that is way better at basketball than him. Joining me in the Slam Dunk podcast project are Casey ( @MinovskyArticle ) from Space Opera Satellite and Chris ( @gokuffy ). I even talk more than normal! Listen Show notes: 0:30 -...

This one's been a long time coming...It was supposed to come after Cross Game, then I just didn't get around to editing it. Then I decided that the top anime and movies lists should come first, so it just got pushed to the backburner. But never fear, Ink! Your suffering (ENJOYMENT!!) wasn't for naught. I'm here to present everybody with the Taiiku Podcast's greatest episode: Love Live School Idol...

It's that time of year again! 2015 is behind us and 2016 is now off the horizon and up in the big sky that is the world. That means it's time to count down the Taiiku Podcast and friends' top five anime of 2015! This year I booted Camellia, Kyle, and Tony to the curb and replaced them with Patz ( @PatzPrime ) of The Cockpit and Space Opera Satellite , Tom ( @ABCBTom ), and Chris ( @gokuffy ) to co...

I FORGOT TO EDIT THE EPISODE! And now it's a couple days until libsyn resets and I'll either have an unused month or edit everything in one day. So here we are! This time, I grab the Anime Nostalgia regulars Dawn ( @bunnycartoon ) and Heather ( @CandyAppleCat ) to join Space Opera Satellite and Bloodbath and Beyond cohost Casey ( @MinovskyArticle ) (and Casey's cat) and myself to talk about Mitsur...

It's been a year since I started this podcast and enlisted Camellia against her will to assist me. It's been a year since the ill-recorded Chihayafuru episode (sorry about that...). A year since September 20, 2014. Ok, ok, I admit, it's been more than a year but some stuff happened and we were delayed, alright! I said this was episode 12, but it's actually 13 because some of those reasons. Also be...

We're here for the sports anime that's not sports anime...wait, we did that already. Ok, we're here for the tennis anime...wait, that's not it either. I got it! We're here for a special episode of the Taiiku Podcast where we're talking about Clueless , the film from 1995 that is not at all sports or anime. Joining me in this episode are Dawn ( @bunnycartoon ) from Anime Nostalgia , Chris ( @gokuff...

We're back and with new guest! I'm joined by returning champion Ink ( @AnimatedInk ) from Ani-Gamers , the Fandom Post , and Otaku USA and Kate ( @narutakiRT ) of the Reverse Thieves to talk about a show not from the 1920s, but set in the 1920s: Taisho Baseball Girls ! I said it was episode 13, but I lied. This is episode 12. Listen Show notes: 0:30 - We talk about what we've been watching! We rec...

I had to write a Ten Years Later piece on Suzuka , so I decided to also podcast on it! My victims this time are Chris ( @gokuffy ) and Kenny ( @Minoru79 ) from the Rabona Podcast . My co-host, Camellia, regrets to inform you that he was unable to make the show. We missed him. Listen Show notes: 0:30 - We talk about what we've been watching! This was recorded July 19, so it's a little outdated...bu...

Here's the beginning of what's going to be a really long series! The original idea was to record one episode each time Cinedigm releases a new set, but...well... Anyway, I'm probably just going to dive right into this series one episode after the other with the rest of the parts after a few preceding episodes. Until then, you listeners will have to sate yourselves with part one. Dawn ( @bunnycarto...

Hello and welcome back to the Taiiku Podcast where I write words sometimes and then also talk sometimes. But not this time! I think I had like five lines in the entire episode. I'm gonna have to have a talking to with the director after this... This time, I grabbed some folks from the Anime Nostalgia podcast to talk with me about Rumiko Takahashi's Maris the Chojo and Wanna Be's. Their wonderful h...
