Tooning Japanese

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! What was supposed to be a one episode review ended up as two! Yes, this week it's two hosts and two reviews! Bill (sorta) reviews Episode 18, "Grave," and Andy does Josh's job for him this week with Episode 19, "Superior." We're in full video game mode now, and it's not quite as fun as watching a Twitc...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! It's no April Fool, just another episode of Tooning Japanese! This week Andy formerly introduces us to Mika in the aptly titled episode "Mika." Josh comes to terms with his deep-seated hatred of the young girl. Also, a lot of characters either die or change for the worse. It's not a great episode, but...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! We didn't drop off the face of the earth. Okay, maybe for a bit.

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! It's a Bill and Andy episode! They review Episode 12 of Gungrave, "Kind." Sadly, they both aren't too kind to the content of this one. We skip ahead in time yet again, and the events of this episode are mostly filler. At least there's still some really good conversation to be had! Watch Gungrave on  Fu...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! I cannot believe that we have finally reached the end of 2020 after the last 27 months.

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! This week marks the beginning of an awesome story arc!
