Tokyo Podfathers Podcast

That's right. It's that time of the year again. It's time to have opinions on things. We also talk about how fan perspective has changed on this series since the manga ended, and how it compares to former and current hype trains for newer series like Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and Chainsaw Man. AoT Weekly is streamed live on our YouTube channel every Sunday, with audio posted to streaming p...

New Year, New Us, New Eva. We covered the original Evangelion series before, and as promised, we're back to cover the Rebuilds. And, spoiler alert: we really, really liked the last one.  Our episode on the original series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqHK53HMtSw&t=31s  HUNDREDS OF WAYS TO SAY HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE AND ALSO LOVE IS OTHER PEOPLE: https://formeinfullbloom.wordpress.com/2021/08/19/...

This is our official announcement - The /r/Anime Podcast is rebranding to Tokyo Podfathers. This will be reflected on our YouTube channel and all streaming outlets tomorrow, January 1.  Thank you all for your continued support.  Please note: This is NOT any change of management, no one left (or is joining) the podcast, we are not changing our content at all. This is simply a name and iconography c...

That's right. A Sopranos podcast before the year ends. Woke up this morning, got yourself a pod. We're talking the fuckin' regular-ness of life, whistling in the wheat fields, the best onion rings in the state (as far as some are concerned), and the fact that Quasimodo predicted all of this. In the midst of death, we are in life. Or is it the other way around? Either version you're halfway up the...

See you (never), Space Cowboy. Get it? That's a REFERENCE. To an OLD THING that you LOVE. Are you NOSTALGIC yet? Do you remember enjoying things??? This week, we talk about the beloved classic anime Cowboy Bebop that made its way into our hellscape reality via Netflix, also known as Cowboy Bebop. But more live action. And less Ed. For better or for worse.  1:19:45 - Live Action spoilers start here...

Here at The /r/Anime Podcast, we make it a point to complain about aggregate ratings when we disagree with them. And few ratings are as undeservedly low as those of SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon, two spectacular anime in a bizarre universe full of cheesy callbacks of near-forgotten vintage kids shows, Studio Trigger creative brainblasts, kaijus tied to psychological drama, and... really hot girl...

Heike Monogatari flew way under the radar this season, but this collision of Yamada Naoko and Science Saru, two of the greatest creatives in the industry, absolutely should not be missed! It's an ambitious show, and we discussed how it takes on the original epic, how it differed, and where it succeeded to make a totally unique tale. ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhjA ➤ Follo...

Times today are stressful (but when were they not?), but every now and then it's nice to reflect on some good things that happen. The Podfathers are gonna talk about things they're thankful for recently, and we invite others to call in!  ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhjA  ➤ Follow us on twitter! - https://twitter.com/tokyopodfathers  ➤ Past Episode Mp3s - https://tokyopodfa...

The Podfathers are taking a break from anime and podcasting, and no one takes a break from anime better than The Funkmaster.

Twenty-six years after the series began, the final Rebuild is out, and Evangelion is over. Meanwhile, over 200 pods in, we have never actually done an episode about this show! Can you even call us a real anime podcast?? It's finally time to talk about Neon Genesis Evangelion.   ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhjA ➤ Follow us on twitter! - https://twitter.com/tokyopodfathers ➤...

Ooh, 2sp00ky. It's the Halloween special... which just means we review a bunch of first episodes again. But the anime this season are--gasp!--pretty good, so why stress and scare yourself this holiday when you can have a bunch of sweets instead. Unless one of them is Mushoku Tensei or "the kid from 86" flavored or something. That would suck. ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhj...

It all started with a broad but fun topic--what anime have we seen that left no impressions, even after completion? What are such "pointless" anime, and why did we bother putting up with them? We then talk about other things, including but not limited to why Space Jam 2 is bad and sucks. ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhjA ➤ Follow us on twitter! - https://twitter.com/tokyopo...

Remember that show from six months ago that everybody loved until they didn't? It's finally time to process our grief and say goodbye to an anime with one of the most promising beginnings we've ever seen, and perhaps the most hellish, trainwreck ending of all time.  ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhjA  ➤ Follow us on twitter! - https://twitter.com/tokyopodfathers  ➤ Past Epis...

Bex and Kaverik return to the podcast (along with Sinrus) for their first episode in literal years -- and what else could bring them back but FLCL? All three of us think that this is one of the greatest anime ever made, and we think you can too! 

It's time to D-D-D-D-D-D-do another Q&A, continuing from our first batch of interviews. In this episode, we discuss many important things, including but not limited to: whether creamy or crunchy peanut butter is better, how to throw the world into chaos with one cubic meter, how to (not) get into Visual Novels, and what it's like to live in Seattle. Also, a surprise debut from Sha's puppy! (this i...

Sites like MyAnimeList are a cornerstone of the anime fandom. But why do we use them? Why are anime fans expected to track everything they've ever watched? Why do we do this to ourselves? Everybody uses them differently anyway, it's not even that useful for gauging somebody else's taste!! Well, to clear up the confusion, we're here today to explain how and why we rate all the anime we've seen.  ➤...

Let's celebrate! Let's party! It's another sub special WOOO! We're bringing back the (almost) yearly Q&A special in a different way, with each member being interviewed individually by another. We might actually talk about something this time! Such things may include but are not limited to: why trains are cool, what's the coolest dinosaur, Pokemon Cards as IRL gachas, and why people don't watch ani...

Amagi Brilliant Park is one of many quality series by the legendary Kyoto Animation, but does it truly get the credit it deserves? In this podcast, we review this somewhat old anime and discuss how well it holds up! And it's spoiler-free!  Also discussed are the wonderful horrors of actual amusement parks and BattleBots.  *Disclaimer: We recorded this before Donda released, so we don't meme about...

If spring is expected to bring flowers, then 2021 had quite the bouquet. With many high-profile series like Vivy and Megalo Box exceeding expectations, plus incredible hidden gems like Odd Taxi and SSSS.Dynazenon, we had quite a lot on our plates this season. This will likely be our final retrospective episode, and we go out with a bang.  --  Sign up to HIDIVE's streaming service using the followi...

In this episode, we discuss one of the most highly anticipated and highest-grossing anime films of all time--Kimetsu no Yaiba's Mugen Train! Is it worthy of the insurmountable hype, or is it a trainwreck? We'll review the film and recap some thoughts on the original TV series--and don't worry, we do not talk about any manga spoilers.  ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhjA  ➤ Fo...
