Join our intrepid reporters as we plunge into the depths of the dark underbelly that is the isekai genre and provide our impressions of the upcoming anime season. We are joined this episode by our long-lost correspondent Dex who, riding his trusty GugRug, somehow managed to surf his...

The AniTAY Podcast prides ourselves in being your third or fourth choice for anime news and commentary. But little did we know, there was a traitor amongst us all along. He’s a man so despicable that even the filthy pirates at Manga Rock revile him. I am talking, of course, of AniTAY author and frequent stowaway on the podcast, Kinksy. To find out more, you’ll have to give this week’s episode a li...

This week’s AniTAY podcast starts off on a slightly different note with some video game discussion before quickly devolving into the aggressive mediocrity that is most anime (according to gugsy). But are there some diamonds in the rough, and is one of them Granbelm ? Only one way to find out! This episode’s members: hybridmink, Gugsy, Requiem, Dilkokoro Itinerary Intro: 0:00 - 0:35 Tales of Berser...

After the devastating loss of the previous episode, the AniTAY Podcast has managed to return despite longtime fans’ hopes that we would just end it and finally remove Requiem’s platform for offering his terrible anime selections to the unsuspecting masses. This episode, we warm up with some bad takes from Japanese anime fans (via Crunchyroll) and move on to some truly terrible takes from the AniTA...

This episode is an extra-long one! With the spring season coming to an end and the summer already beginning, we decided to try concluding this past season and give our first impressions of the new one. I apologize in advance for my colleagues’ shit taste (and Gugsy’s audio mishaps). This episode’s members: hybridmink, Gugsy, Requiem, TheMamaLuigi Note: This episode was originally intended for post...

The snow is melting, flowers blooming...spring is in the air. And we all know what that means: more anime. Join the AniTAY crew as we investigate this forecasted April shower of anime. This spring, Japan has trimmed some of the fat and there are fewer shows than previous years. This helped us continue our streak of hour and a half long preview episodes, a feat seemingly impossible as recently as t...

You may have seen/heard that the Crunchyroll Anime Awards aired last month. Quite a few of us over here on AniTAY tuned in together to listen. This is the resulting audio . This is not an official episode of the podcast (there was really no planning or organization involved whatsoever), but if you are looking for some goons to listen to and inevitably be disappointed by the award selections with,...

From the menu of anime airing this winter, we here at AniTAY have selected some of our favorites to discuss on this brief episode. Join me as I settle down for the winter and have a lovely discussion with newcomer TheMamaLuigi and series regulars dilkokoro and Requiem.* *Disclaimer: Gugsy is also present in this episode.

The AniTAY podcast’s year-in-review episode is finally here ! Join us as we take an extra long look at the year of 2018 in anime! This podcast follows a similar structure to the 2017 one that was never published (may it rest in peace). Naturally, that means no one knows how we do this, so I’ll outline it: we go through the list of AniTAY’s favorite anime of 2018 and discuss our thoughts on all of...

We’re back, and in the interest of time I decided to do a winter preview episode before our end-of-the-year episode (stay tuned) . Let’s take a glance at the winter 2019 season! Joining me today are cast members Raitzeno, Stinolez, Rockmandash12, and Kinksy. Believe it or not, we actually clocked in at around the hour and a half goal that I always have. That makes the first time in a while (ever?)...

Happy holidays folks! Let’s send the fall 2018 season off in style with a new podcast episode . It’s the only present you’re getting from us, so you better enjoy it.

Haven’t you heard? There’s a new season of anime that started this week! It’s really hard to look back and imagine what I thought an anime was going to be before I watched it . I always have expectations going in, but these are inevitably subverted in some way after actually watching. I imagine there are many shows that I predicted but was totally (embarrassingly, even) off the mark about. Fortuna...

Have you heard of the recently-theatrically-released Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms ? Well , some of us on AniTAY are big fans, so we decided to discuss it a little bit on the podcast in our first spoilercast in a while! Today’s episode features anime connoisseurs MementoMorie, Rock...ManDash...12, and Shade. Since this is a spoilercast, the entire plot of the movie is open for discussion...

Believe it or not, there once was a podcast episode recorded in January. Unfortunately, the audio was lost, and I was out of the country for the next few months . But now the podcast is back, and better than ever*! *not really Although actually now that I think about it, the audio recording/editing equipment used in this episode is actually higher quality than previous episodes, so you might notic...

After a break, the AniTAY podcast has returned to discuss the Fall 2017 anime season . Recorded just before the season started, the podcast involves yours truly and AniTAY authors Gugsy, Kinksy, Dilkokoro, and Nan attempting to guess at which shows would be good this season. What did we think of the upcoming season? How right/wrong were we? Will Gugsy ever get anyone to watch a show he recommends?...

The AniTAY podcast is back ! Truth is, this episode was recorded over a month ago, but there were a few editing delays so you’re getting it now. If it makes you feel any better, the members this time were Shade, Dil, Requiem, Stanlick, and Exile, so it’s not as if you were missing anything. This episode, we talked about the new *at the time* Winter 2017 season along with some of our winter break a...

(FYI, someone forgot to wear...
