Episode 183 – Switcheroo ’25 (Anime NYC)

9/1/2025
Right back at it again with another convention roundup show, the happenings and goings-on at Anime NYC brought about some pleasant treats, some fun in-person experiences, and even some good surprises - as per usual, of course. Convention season is starting to wind down for us, too, so after this and New York Comic-Con we'll be focused on our usual bits of shenaniganry to come - mainly on the movie front with Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, Angel's Egg, and Scarlet... you know, eventually. Movie Night comeback? Maybe. And to go along with all of that, we also take a gander at SANDA coming to Prime Video, we lay out the deal with SEKIRO, we wonder at the Naoki Urasawa manga BILLY BAT coming stateside and preparing ourselves for that wonderful world of madness, and we also ask ourselves one important question: what would a 1970s National Geographic special be like if it were an omegaverse manga? The answer will... probably not shock you. intro - the dichotomy of animation on Amazon 6:32 - Anime NYC: Jet’s in-person experience 15:34 - Anime NYC: the panels (Liar Game, Bryce Papenbrook joins DAN DA DAN) 1:18:14 - other news (SANDA to Amazon, Sekiro anime re-clarifications, Scarlet update, Billy Bat manga) 1:35:07 - home video releases (Sentai, Crunchyroll, Devilman Crybaby) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 192 – Anniversary (SDCC & Otakon 2025)

8/20/2025
Fashionably late and with Starbucks in hand, because that's just the run of things around here, another three-hour tour of anime nonsense is at hand, bringing both good surprises and shenanigans as far as the eye can see, from the picturesque sights and sounds of AnimEigo and Discotek at this year's Otakon to the madness of the "new" dub for Tai Chi Chasers (a show that, at most, five people will remember), along with plenty of good tidings from San Diego Comic-Con and a slate of upcoming movies to ponder over and question whether or not we want to be around people for some of these films. It'll make sense in context, don't worry. PRODUCER'S NOTE: apologies, once again, for the continued tardiness of these shows, this one in particular. Between getting sick, dealing with scheduling issues, and life as a whole being pretty rough as of late, this one had no other choice but to come out as late as can be. intro - Fist of the North Star make-up segment 11:32 - Discotek @ Otakon (AnimEigo, Shin-chan, Cagliostro new dub, Monster) 1:17:32 - SDCC rundown (One Piece, Gundam) 1:38:20 - everything else (Demon Slayer, Tai Chi Chasers dub story, GKIDS x HBO Max) 2:31:15 - home video slates (CR October, Sentai, Viz, GKIDS) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 191 – Fire Drill (Anime Expo 2025)

7/15/2025
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip - that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship. Xander was a mighty sailin' man, and Andrew brave and sure. Jet and Joe set sail that day for a three hour tour, a three hour tour. Anime Expo happened and that means our adventure to all that happened in Los Angeles that weekend, of which there was plenty of good and even a bit of smoke going off early - don't worry, everyone's fine, it's just one of those mechanical issues that tend to come up. And from this year's AX, we'll be talking about plenty of interesting manga license pickups, some cool new show announcements aside from the BIG news of Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 which... WILD, and Gigguk is doing a thing too. Cool. But there was other cool things that happened before and after AX that deserve to be talked about, like the new dub initiative for Detective Conan, a really fun world record tying into one character's speech going LUDICROUS SPEED, the return of Rie Matsumoto in the director's chair, a surprise theatrical run for... Tokyo Ghoul... okay... and one more trip to France with a few cool things happening at Japan Expo - and yes, this show IS a three hour tour, once again. Enjoy the fun shenanigans all around. PRODUCER'S NOTE: This show was a PAIN to put together, from sync issues to trying to cut out a lot of background noise to trying to make this show not be longer than 3 hours, but the biggest issue happened late in the show where Jet's microphone got disconnected while we were talking about the new Fist of the North Star series being announced. The entire segment had to be cut, we'll make up for it next time. intro - the NEW Panty & Stocking dub situation is crazy 11:52 - pre-AX/post-AX news announcements (Detective Conan new dub, 100 Girlfriends world record, Rie Matsumoto returns, Tokyo Ghoul back in theaters… for some reason) 49:29 - Japan Expo 2025 (Anime Limited, Junji Ito, Moyoco Anno/Khara) 57:44 - Anime Expo Day 1 (Gigguk anime, GATE blockchain thing, Yen Press) 1:38:53 - AX Day 2 (Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2, Kodansha, Titan Manga, N LITE, Manga Mavericks) 2:20:26 - AX Day 3 (Viz, Netflix, Square Enix, Crunchyroll) 2:57:25 - wrap-up Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 190 – Late Show

6/30/2025
Yes, yes, another late upload, but that's because it's been A WEEK - as most people know. So do enjoy this glorious distraction from the real world as it continues to get more and more enflamed, as we've got good from the Annecy Festival to get to (GKIDS picking things up, Steven Universe returning, and somehow MORE Ninja Kamui coming soon) plus some pre-Anime Expo announcements for CITY (and another show) heading to Prime Video, Gachiakuta getting a same-day dub and a... postshow podcast... coooooool... also Netflix making some interesting moves, Sunrise announcing a new Samurai Troopers series, Shingo Natsume's new project, and plenty of big home video releases coming out in September for you premium box collectors - Frieren, Eizouken, even The Eminence in Shadow. Like we used to got regularly back in the day. See you back here for Anime Expo. Stay safe out there. intro - Rent-a-Girlfriend still sucks (THAT chapter) 10:49 - Annecy Festival (GKIDS, CN/Adult Swim, Space Adventure Cobra) 26:14 - current show/movie announcements (CITY on Prime, Gachiakuta same-day dub, Ranma in October, Fragrant Flower on Netflix) 50:56 - other news items (Miraculous spinoff, GKIDS/Shin Godzilla, Samurai Troopers, new Shingo Natsume project) 1:09:53 - home video releases (Frieren LE, Eizouken and Eminience boxes, The Elusive Samurai LE, Queen Millennia) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 189 – Solo Jerk (The 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards Show)

6/5/2025
The look on Frieren's face says it all. Another year, another terrible attempt at an "awards show" that's riddled with more corporate schmoozing than your annual Christmas party, and it comes with a whole slate of "awards" that we just can't resist riffing on and yelling at Crunchyroll over - especially since this year's event felt a bit off, even compared to recent years. See you back here next year? Maybe? Anyway, there are good things to talk about here, like REMOW releasing shows both old and new (if you can find them), a small dose of manga and light novel announcements with one (or two) very big titles coming stateside, GKIDS (and Toho) delivering the second shot via the Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 compilation film, the Madhouse shoujo crew cooking something fierce for next year, a bit of a leak for an upcoming dub (hint: it's Yaiba), and the JOEN consortium making a pretty interesting move for some upcoming projects. Also, apologies once again for the tardiness - a mini-break happened between recording and release that involved seeing Metallica in the city with 75,000 other people. intro - don’t bet on “Bet” (because it sucks) 13:07 - the annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards bitch-fest 1:10:19 - other news items (REMOW, MCM London Comic-Con, Love Bullet manga licensed) 2:03:05 - home video announcements (Made in Abyss box, City Hunter: Angel Dust, Discotek July slate) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 188 – Steel Ball Snatch

5/11/2025
WARNING: This show has a running theme of discussions of oral sex all throughout. Because we're stupid. Don't listen if you're not old enough to buy an explicit album. Hi, everyone - we're back after what ended up being a VERY long April of... nonsense, to put it in a word. A break was needed and a break was had, and now we're back to our grind of anime... well, nonsense, again. But to come back after some time away, we have to take our time with the inundation of information on display, so this will be a bit of everything: the best and worst of the winter season (a month late), the announcement of STEEL BALL RUN being real, the Tenchi Muyo comic Kickstarter reaching its goal in barely any time at all, some free offerings on Pluto TV, the new Mamoru Hosoda movie getting BIG plans for its theatrical rollout, Toonami getting THINGS this coming weekend, and a good bit of home video releases coming out in the summer - including one very highly demanded release in the form of CHAINSAW MAN, AT LONG LAST, from... VIZ??? Because sure, why not? Also, yes, we're going to yell about the Crunchyroll Anime Awards nominations. Because it's easy pickings. intro - real-world kvetching and Sinners gushing 21:53 - the best and worst of winter ( 41:51 - once again, the CR Anime Awards nominees 1:30:15 - some news items of note (Steel Ball Run, Toonami additions, Tenchi Muyo comic Kickstarter, Scarlet/Columbia Pictures) 1:50:51 - a lot of upcoming home video releases (Anime Limited surprises, Wind Breaker, Call of the Night, Solo Leveling, Chainsaw Man) Tenchi Muyo Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/armigerentertainment/tenchi-muyo-original-omnibus-edition Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 187 – Live at AnimeJapan

4/5/2025
AnimeJapan has come and gone... a while ago, with how late this show is, but with it comes a lot of big announcements of a VERY big summer season coming up, and we're going to lay out the details for what's poised to be a rom-com-heavy July along with the usual updates and menageries that the strange and bizarre anime industry has on offer, like a weird pseudo-incestuous corporate offspring, HiDive losing and gaining some shows this month, Netflix viewer data, a new paid 'adult' platform, and most importantly of all: GAY ANGEL TWINKS.

April Update

4/1/2025
No, this is not an April Fools Day joke. Things have been pretty slow and rough for a lot of outside reasons and circumstances that have prevented our next episode from being up in a timely manner. Burnout and exhaustion sucks. The next episode - AnimeJapan 2025 - will be up later in the week. New episodes will likely resume in May. Thank you for your time and patience.

3/17/2025
In Memory Dave Mallow (1948-2025) George Lowe (1957-2025) The ides of "Smarch" are upon us and they've gotten off to a stupid start. Alas, we're still here doing our thing to help alleviate the continued existential dread we all have to deal with in the world. We've got Amazon getting back into the anime simulcast game in a big way, Crunchyroll trying to make good with a big partner of theirs, Viz kickstarting convention season with a pair of sizable announcements of their own, and some dates for some upcoming seasons that will - at the very least - get a reaction out of folks. Also, for the next little while, these episode titles will borrow from Space Ghost Coast to Coast as an ongoing tribute. We'll miss you, George. intro - why we take political potshots for our mental health 16:45 - main stories 1:02:00 - announcements and updates 1:24:57 - awards worth mentioning (r/anime and Anime Trending) 1:37:42 - home video releases (April/May) 16:45 - Amazon shadowdrops the Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. dub 22:47 - Amazon secures Gundam GQuuuuuuX 29:40 - Crunchyroll secures MHA Vigilantes (and got spooked by Toho) 35:12 - Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle dated for September 37:15 - Princess Mononoke 4K restoration premiering in IMAX this month 39:42 - Lazarus premiering on Toonami on April 5 43:24 - Viz at ECCC: Yaiba premieres in April 46:14 - Black Torch anime announcement 56:26 - some manga business news 58:36 - Devil May Cry (Netflix) trailer and cast additions 59:58 - Aurora Animation Studio formally announced 1:02:00 - Tenchi Muyo 1997 comic reprint Kickstarter to be launched 1:05:18 - Witch Watch dub leads 1:10:39 - Plus-Sized Elf dub now on HiDive 1:12:10 - Our Last Crusade season 2 resumes in April 1:14:06 - Shield Hero season 4 premieres in July 1:17:06 - One Punch Man season 3 premieres in October 1:18:39 - Frieren season 2 premieres in January 2026 1:19:51 - Suikoden anime announced, details TBA 1:21:48 - Moonrise finally premiering on Netflix in April 1:22:28 - Dead By Daylight adding Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul 1:24:57 - r/anime Awards 1:31:00 - Anime Trending Awards Tenchi Muyo comic Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/armigerentertainment/tenchi-muyo-original-omnibus-edition Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 185 – The Long-Awaited Reunion!

2/28/2025
Yes, the world may be on fire and/or a frigid wasteland at the same time, but we're still here and still kicking. And to prove that there is still some good in the world (along with football YouTuber Tom Grossi raising over a million dollars for charity in one week) there's a very long-awaited announcement: NO. 6 IS GETTING A NEW NOVEL. Let's hope that the reunion will, indeed, be coming for those boys. And along with that, we have the news of BOCCHI THE SECOND SEASON happening, Masaaki Yuasa starting up a new studio, an hour's worth of book announcements from several publishers (even from Tokyopop, but just briefly), Fate/stay night airing on a... *curious* cable TV channel, some ripples in the Gundam pipeline, the recent AnimEigo "town hall" announcements, and a whole lot of dumb shenanigans to help distract all of you from the real world at large. And if all else fails, just wait for the Canada gooses to begin their attack. They'll never see it coming. intro - winter’s almost over 8:45 - main stories 48:15 - book announcements 1:44:30 - announcements and updates 2:15:04 - home video releases 8:45 - Masaaki Yuasa establishes a new studio 13:11 - Kadokawa builds their empire further 15:37 - The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All anime announced 19:24 - BOCCHI THE SECOND SEASON 22:40 - No. 6 gets a new novel after 14 years 24:47 - My Dress-Up Darling ends in its next chapter 29:41 - the Zombie Land Saga movie still lives 33:04 - a new live-action Gundam film project announced 41:35 - a new Avatar sequel series greenlit at Nickelodeon 48:15 - Kodansha USA book announcements 59:33 - Seven Seas book announcements 1:16:34 - sadly, Tokyopop has more BL titles 1:20:20 - Yen Press book announcements 1:36:33 - Viz licenses the Kingdom manga 1:44:30 - so, about Fate/stay night UBW on television… 1:49:51 - J Balvin guest starring in Solo Leveling 1:55:11 - GKIDS releasing LOVE & POP (Hideaki Anno) in theaters 1:56:29 - BOCCHI THE ROCK! recap movies and more Touken Ranbu now on Crunchyroll 2:00:21 - Disney backlog dubs hitting Hulu in March (The Fable, Tokyo Revengers, Murai In Love) 2:01:40 - Samurai Pizza Cats: The Video Game is a real thing coming in 2026 2:06:06 - Vampire Hunter D coming to theaters in April 2:06:49 - the recent AnimEigo “town hall” announcements 2:15:04 - misc. home video releases (WB, Anime Limited, AnimEigo, Aniplex) 2:18:04 - GKIDS/Shout Studios releases (Summer Wars, APFTTU, Wolf Children) 2:19:24 - Sentai May releases (Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night, Insomniacs After School) 2:22:17 - Crunchyroll May releases (Iruma-kun, One Piece) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 184 – The Cold Winter’s Arrival.

2/3/2025
It's been... quite a month for a lot of us. For a lot of reasons. For the foreseeable future, we're all going to be on our own for a while, and we're all going to be depending on each other for help, support, and even survival. And we're all probably going to need more time to ourselves when we need a break from everything, hence why this show is going up so late. Again, it's been "a month" for the ages. But, as long as we all have breath in our lungs and a drive to distract, we'll keep doing these shows for all of you. If only because we all need a break from everything, once in a while. We've got Discotek Day announcements, some thoughts on the top shows of 2024, GKIDS playing with big boy money, Macross finally going up on Disney+ (and Hulu), and more random tangents all over the place. intro - we’re all on our own together 9:18 - Discotek Day announcements 1:05:31 - ANN’s top 10 anime of 2024 1:19:52 - main-ish news items 2:16:18 - home video releases 1:19:52 - Miles Thomas’ ANN report on isekai 1:33:52 - a lot of Viz book announcements 1:40:51 - the dub cast for Sakamoto Days 1:49:25 - Netflix gets Ippo 1:51:26 - Hulu/Disney+ FINALLY gets Macross up 1:55:01 - Sony bounces back at Bloomberg with… a new Crunchyroll manga app (and other projects) 2:06:34 - Witch Watch getting a theatrical premiere in March 2:11:41 - GKIDS gets BIG BOY MONEY with Gundam (GQuuuuuux) 2:14:51 - Signal.MD merging with Production I.G 2:16:18 - Sentai April releases (Princess Principal, Urusei Yatsura) 2:21:35 - March and April home video releases (Undead Unluck, Ghost Cat Anzu, MHA You’re Next) 2:26:41 - Crunchyroll April releases (Shangri-La Frontier, Berserk of Gluttony) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episod 183 – The Not-So-Daijoubu Culture.

12/26/2024
NOTE: parts of the audio from the first 34 minutes of this episode are missing due to technical difficulties. As 2024 comes to a close, we have one last show as all of the stars seemed to align just right with the added benefit of a very hefty gift bestowed to all of us from Bloomberg - a not-so-lovely exposé on Crunchyroll and their corporate culture that we spent 45 minutes dissecting and lambasting. Quite the added extra for a show that just supposed to be about Jump Festa, but yes, the major happenings from Jump Festa are here as well, from the new changes to One Piece to the next stretch of My Hero Academia and even some not-so-confirmed promises from the ever-so-slow and procrastinatory overlords at MAPPA. There's also some talk about some upcoming new seasons for some fan favorites and one more book roundup for the year, but we all know why you're here - it's for the Crunchyroll talk. Again, it's quite a doozy, and a hell of a doozy to close the year out on.

Episode 182 – The Christmas Colony Drop!

12/18/2024
Christmastime is almost here, and there's a Gundam coming down everyone's stocking in the new year! A pleasant surprise, for sure, and a good tiding of cheer in the wake of Crunchyroll changing the rules of their "awards" show in totally inconspicuous fashion that has nothing to do with a certain show airing this year about aliens and ghosts. And along with that, there are some fun movies coming out (and some that are not-as-fun), some notable dub casts announced for the new year, the Rascal dub situation is FINALLY mostly sorted out after an entire year, and a look at how the manga sales went for the year and who's at the top of the mountain for 2024 - along with much more, with one more show to come before the new year. It's going to be Jump Festa. Call it a late Christmas gift from all of us to all of you. EDITOR'S NOTE: Well, this took a lot of time to get together, didn't it? Apologies for the delay, this was recorded over a week ago and it's been a particularly rough week, so that's why it took so long to get out.

Episode 180 – The Double-A Spinebuster!

10/26/2024
Yes, it's a wrestling reference given that the only two on here for this show have names that start with A. And yes, this show is late, once again due to a more-than-hectic week. Apologies for the not-great scheduling, but we're working in the background to get things more stable. Also, there's a thing happening on November 5, so maybe do it either on that date or before - you all know what the thing is, it doesn't need to be said. Anyway, we've got an abbreviated recap of the summer season, thoughts on Look Back and MHA: You're Next, a major shift for GKIDS, and the biggest change to the One Piece anime yet - that's all in the first hour, and there's plenty from NYCC to dive into, both good and not-as-good. Convention season is wrapping up and we've got some bangs to go out on, for sure. We'll be back with the fall dub cast rundown next time, after... you know, the thing happens.

(thumbnail courtesy of Don East) Yep, it's a shorter mid-convention show here, going up while Anime NYC is in progress in... well, New York, duh. We'll be back next time with a fuller show talking all of those wild convention hijinks, but for now we've got some very interesting developments with Weekly Shonen Jump, in the return of a legendary title coming at the cost of the sudden ending of another title that most definitely exists. Also, nobody wants to let Attack on Titan die and we're very annoyed by that. All of that and a bit more coming your way in this breezier show right here, enjoy it and enjoy the rest of Anime NYC.

But we're back, we're easing through things for the time being, and we're running through the big details for the new Ranma 1/2 anime (starting in TWO MONTHS), all of the goodies from Otakon, Devilman fans eating supremely well, and one of the biggest leaks we'e sen in a very long time.

Episode 175 – The Bubbling Convention Burst!

7/16/2024
And here we are, running down the major bits and pieces from Anime Expo once again, all while the industry is threatened more now than ever in recent memory of suffering from a bursting bubble. It's best to enjoy things while we still can, but that does include plenty of upcoming projects like... more Fire Force and Blue Exorcist... but there's more TRIGUN and Panty & Stocking coming so it all balances out in the end. And that's not withstanding the folks from RWBY getting a new place of employment at Viz Media, the newest arc of One Piece getting ready for its dub premiere and the long-awaited finish line of "simuldub" inching closer and closer, and even a new film project from Shoji Kawamori in the works as well, along with plenty more to dive into and discuss. There's a lot to get to as we're in the heat of convention season, so for this "landmark" 175th episode, we're... going to do the same as usual. Except it's molten hot outside, so that's what makes this a bit more special. I think. A little bit of FYI for those who are curious: most shows we do are initially recorded anywhere from 2-3 hours in one call, though sometimes it can be a little longer than 3 hours, while the editing process can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours to scroll through everything and make the necessary cuts and edits in several editing sessions. So if anyone’s wondering why these shows take a while to come out, that’s why. It’s a one-man editing operation on a MacBook Pro, at the end of the day. We'll be back to talk SDCC and Otakon very soon. ntro - happy 175th, the heat is still unbearable 4:04 - pre/post-AX news items 57:15 - Anime Expo 2024: signs of an unstable industry 1:04:12 - the BIG announcement(s): BLUE BOX + NETFLIX 1:09:55 - Day 1 1:47:50 - Day 2 2:28:58 - Day 3 4:04 - Demon Slayer going back to the theaters 15:12 - the new Rose of Versailles film is a MAPPA production 20:37 - Magic Knight Rayearth 30th anniversary anime project announced 24:06 - Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha 20th anniversary movies re-edit announced 26:36 - Kisemonogatari compilation film in theaters in August 29:13 - Kadokawa acquires Doga Kobo 35:04 - Science SARU producing SANDA series from BEASTARS creator 37:10 - Crunchyroll fixes review bombing by disabling EVERY comment section 42:49 - THAT scene in Rent-a-Girlfriend will soon be upon us 46:05 - coming to SDCC: Adult Swim vs. AEW 48:29 - some Toonami updates: Sailor Moon and… something else 55:16 - BOCCHI THE CASSETTE TAPE 56:39 - late from Japan Expo: DEVILMAN CRYBABY BLU-RAY IS COMING AX Day 1: 1:09:55 - TRIGUN STARGAZE 1:13:01 - NEW Panty & Stocking 1:15:12 - Witch Hat Atelier 1:22:15 - Garden of Remembrance 1:24:11 - Batman Ninja sequel film 1:26:03 - Shoji Kawamori directing a new original film 1:27:01 - Kodansha USA 1:44:05 - BEASTARS season 4 1:45:21 - Grotesque AX Day 2: 1:47:50 - Viz Media acquires RWBY 1:54:53 - J-Novel Club 2:06:53 - Yen Press 2:20:27 - DENPA/Kuma 2:24:17 - Bleach: Rebirth of Souls 2:27:42 - One Piece Egghead Arc dub 2:28:58 - Tokyopop still sucks 2:30:09 - Uzumaki dub cast 2:32:07 - Special Kid Factory 2:33:37 - Bleach: TYBW 2:37:03 - MHA: You’re Next release details 2:42:50 - new Blue Exorcist and Black Butler seasons 2:43:38 - Crunchyroll 2:51:43 - AX Cinema Nights Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure, https://xandersmachinations.wordpress.com Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.
