The AniTAY Podcast is ripe and ready for some new summer 2020 anime impressions. There aren’t quite as many shows this season as one might usually expect (thanks rona), but that just means that the AniTAY Podcast had the time to leave no stone unturned as we offer our unsolicited opinions on every show Crunchyroll and FUNimation managed to get their grubby hands on. Finally, for fans who stay tune...

We return to our regular programming with the AniTAY Podcast to discuss anime old and new, from blockbuster hits such as The Severing Crime Edge to artistic series that really push the boundaries of the art form such as 8th Son .

And in honor of this achievement, this episode is about...I’m not going to repeat it. It’s in the title. Blame DocKev’s write-up in the most recent collab for this mess.

The AniTAY Podcast has returned to ask a crucial question: how many dads? Also, we chat about some streaming service news, currently airing anime, and Gugsy professes his love for Golden Time in a shockingly revelatory moment. Does he actually do so? Or did I just make that up? Who in the chat properly shaves their neckbeards? Find out on this episode of the AniTAY Podcast.

The spring 2020 anime season is upon us. Although man shows are getting delayed, quite a few have managed to wrap up production ahead of time and (as of writing) are still broadcasting on schedule. We here at AniTAY have gone to great lengths to watch all the anime we can. For the podcast. Because we care. Except for Gugsy, I think he’s just watching anime because he’s a nerd. Anyway, check out th...

The AniTAY Podcast has survived a lot of things: Raitzeno’s cooking, coronavirus, the fall of Gawker, and even the rise of the Animasocists. But in this decrepit age of corrupt politicians and ragged masses of Twitter users huddled in the internet cold, one is tempted to recall a brighter time, a time when the only airs our heroes put on were Jordans. I am talking, of course, about the famous anim...

Every year, the folks at Crunchyroll give out their official anime awards for some of the best OSTs, characters, directors, and series in the industry.

The AniTAY Podcast rings in the new year with a preview for the winter 2020 anime season. Listen in as AniTAY authors gasp in horror at the terrors that await them in the new year.
