Tooning Japanese

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! Now that we had officially finished Season 4 of the podcast, that means there's just one thing left to do. That's compile our bloopers! These come from Episodes 14-24 of our podcast. As always, these bloopers might contain more inappropriate content that we leave out of our usual episodes, so listener...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! Today marks the end of Season 4 of Tooning Japanese! That means it's time for a retrospective on Wolf's Rain. Who would be better to join Andy and Bill in this than our very own Superfan Matt! The three talk about the show's highs and lows, some of its more in-depth ideologies, and their favorite chara...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! Andy may be exhausted from spending his whole day creating the new Tooning RPG episode (link below) and this episode, but if there are any night owls out there, check this one out!

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! Wait a minute...Thurk is here? AND Josh!? It's a miracle...and a bit of a nightmare to edit. But that's okay! This week the four of us talk about the second-to-last Wolf's Rain episode, "High Tide, High Time." Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for the wolves...well, here we go! Watch ...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! I guess it's just Bill and Andy this week again (though stay tuned for a short surprise at the tail end), and they have a brand new review of the overly bleak Wolf's Rain OVA. This week they talk in depth about Episode 2, "Gunshot of Remorse." The wolves deal with trying to find Paradise amidst a dying...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! We're back to 2 again, but this time it's Andy and Bill picking up where the season finale of Wolf's Rain left off. Yeah, it's OVA time, and we have 4 episodes to talk about as we wrap up Season 4. If you were expecting a happy ending, then you are not going to like where things go from here. Tune in t...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! Well, the best laid plans of wolves and men often go awry. Or was that mice? Or owls? Who really knows? People don't read books these days. So due to massive flooding, Andy had to bail on this week's recording, so enjoy a Bill and Josh episode. They also had to abandon the studio due to water, so the a...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! Holy new episode, Batman! We're back, everyone! Well, two of us are. Andy and Bill have gotten into the studio to record a brand new review of Episode 25 of Wolf's Rain, "False Memories." When we last left our pack, they were all pretty well buggered, and things go from bad to even worse this time arou...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! This week we are featuring an episode requested by our good friend Yata over at the Reanimetor Podcast! Yata donated to our show (see our Patreon link below), and as part of that donation he requested we watch and review the anime Mushi-Shi. To be honest, none of us over here had even heard of it, and...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! The moment we've been dreading has arrived. We've reached the end of Bonus Season 2. Bill and Andy recap the finale of the Record of Lodoss War OVA, and the feelings are bittersweet. Even though they're sad it's over, they had a great time rewatching the show and dissecting all of its Dungeons & Dragon...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! We're back to just Bill and Andy, but we cannot wait any longer! We're so close to the end of Season 4 that we had to march on, regardless of how short the episode ended up. At least both of our intrepid hosts agreed that Episode 24 of Wolf's Rain, "Scent of a Trap," was really good. Everyone finds the...

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! We're just about done with our second bonus season, and this time around Andy and Bill have two very different episodes leading up to our grand finale.

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! We're back with a new double review of Wolf's Rain!

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! Well, there's no new episode this week. However, we have a couple of really big announcements!

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime! The crew rings in 2019 with more Wolf's Rain. This episode we find out more about the lore of wolves and humans, but unfortunately it's at the expense of some typical Japanese racism. This week's episode, Episode 19, "A Dream of an Oasis," isn't that great, but we'll just blame that on a distinct lack...

Bill and Andy are sans Josh again, but that won't stop them from talking about another episode of Wolf's Rain! This week the dynamic duo tackle Episode 11, "Vanishing Point."
