You know what's great about double entendres? They always apply more than one way, and in this case, it's about a bad movie and a bad manga application. Because why go for easy success when failure is an option too? And along with talking about bad failures, we also like to talk about good things, like good shows getting a good dub cast, good shows getting a second chance on home video (in some regions), good cases of lost media being discovered, and good manga platforms coming out of the woodwork to pull a "Sony at E3 2013/E3 1995" move. Convention season is upon us.

Even we can't believe we made it to 150 shows. It doesn't even feel like it's been that long, but alas. What a wild journey it's been, and it's still not over yet, and to commemorate this milestone... well, the newsroom was slower than usual over the past few weeks. So, the executive decision was made to bring back a time-trued time-killer in recounting the spring 2023 season dub casts and tack on a full Movie Night show, as well - one for the latest film from Makoto Shinkai, SUZUME. "'Til next time, take care of yourself and each other."

Well, it took a month, but all of us are back in the swing of things, and not a moment too soon either - Sakura-Con, Anime Boston, AND AnimeJapan 2023 all happened and they brought their own slew of announcements to the table for us to sift through and discuss. And to go along with that, we have another dabble in the wild world of lost media, our brief thoughts on the now-over winter season, plenty of non-AnimeJapan project announcements that run the gamut of quality, and Sentai coming out with a double-shot of dub goodness... at the cost of one title not getting a dub, sadly. Next time, Suzume and episode 150 - what a wild ride it's been, and we're not stopping any time soon. intro - to the “Max” 7:15 - what did we think of the winter season? 30:00 - main stories 55:02 - announcements and updates 1:26:22 - AnimeJapan 2023 2:09:22 - Sakura-Con and Anime Boston panels 2:24:20 - home video slates 30:00 - a new Kinnikuman anime is happening 32:11 - Kodansha launching their own digital manga platform in May 35:32 - “but why tho” (and it involves Stu Levy) 38:30 - ANOTHER lost Saban animated pilot has been found 42:20 - Adult Swim gets another hour, Toonami gets… things? 47:26 - Scott Pilgrim, the anime, gets the movie cast 52:45 - Birdie Wing, the anime, gets a Switch game 55:02 - +Ultra is sticking with Crunchyroll 1:03:54 - My Happy Marriage set for Netflix 1:04:44 - Shaman King Flowers coming in January 1:06:43 - Solo Leveling set for winter 2024 1:09:17 - Ishura anime set for Disney+ (and Hulu) 1:11:04 - “somehow, GoHands has returned…” 1:14:58 - Given movie announced, coming soon 1:16:32 - The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You anime announced 1:19:23 - a fourth Aquarion series announced 1:20:00 - To Your Eternity S3 announced 1:21:01 - Wind Breaker anime announced 1:22:10 - Tonikawa S2 dub details 1:26:22 - AnimeJapan’s annual “make this show already” poll results 1:30:03 - the AnimeJapan 2023 RUNDOWN OF DOOM 2:09:22 - Yen Press Sakura-Con panel (Bocchi the Rock manga licensed) 2:19:58 - HIDive Anime Boston panel (Re:cycle of the Penguindrum) 2:23:01 - Crunchyroll AB/SC announcements (summer/fall acquisitions) 2:24:01 - Anime Limited May releases (Free finale film, Looking For Magical Doremi) 2:26:07 - Crunchyroll June releases (SPY x FAMILY) 2:33:02 - Media Blasters’ latest thing and more Boruto 2:34:33 - Discotek June 27th releases (Medarot, more Lupin) 2:35:28 - Sentai July releases (Tokyo Mew MEw New, Re:cycle of the Penguindrum, Eizouken) additional audio from: The Simpsons The X-Files Excel Saga Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Q Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, youtube.com/DubTalk Duelist – @HeartofSword75, youtube.com/DuelistG 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.

Well this is certainly something different. Thanks to some scheduling snafus on all of our ends, we haven't been able to do a normal show for a while, and with nearly a month passed since our last show this brings us to an emergency last-minute bonus show: an hour and change of rambling about the world of live-action anime known as professional wrestling. All of the good and bad of WrestleMania weekend, the biggest weekend of the wrestling industry, from the exciting matches to the baffling finishes, and especially the biggest big business story involving the biggest company of them all - and the sniveling cockroach who keeps climbing back up into positions of power and control. And yes, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled anime snark next weekend.

“It’s almost like big companies make the worst crap.” - Wade “DankPods” Nixon We try to move past the Crunchyroll Anime Awards show thing, and every year we find ourselves sinking deeper and deeper into its aura of apathy. We don't criticize these events out of a place of bad faith or spite, we do it because we know this company can be so much better, but it seems like wishing for the best isn't what's best for business because these shows keep happening. At least we have more fun and more well-researched awards things from AniTrendz and r/anime, if you can believe it. And to go along with all of that, we have another case of LOST MEDIA being discovered after nearly 10 years with a once-deleted Evangelion movie dub, Boruto going on break because Pierrot needs it, a double dose of Mononoke that happened recently, and we even pop some champagne in honor of a cult charlatan "transcending" to "the other world." As we do. intro - stand-up lamentations and cinema prestige 11:33 - main stories 1:06:13 - announcements and updates 1:18:00 - the good and fun awards shows 1:35:14 - the CR anime awards… thing 2:20:36 - Discotek May 30th releases 11:33 - rip in piss El Cantare (Happy Science) 19:13 - HiDive signs a big distribution deal with MBS television 27:50 - Crunchyroll… gets a Sony Bravia TV remote button 30:59 - Sony Music Japan record label concerts and music videos now on Crunchyroll 35:32 - Toonami schedule update 39:20 - Boruto anime going on indefinite break, Naruto anniversary episodes announced 43:28 - a not-great update on Stars Align 47:19 - the original Funimation Evangelion 3.33 dub has been found 55:08 - Digimon Adventure 2020 dub supposedly set for spring 57:17 - Urusei Yatsura 2022 dub now on HiDive 1:02:21 - the Mononoke English dub mystery is solved… thanks to Netflix 1:06:13 - Mononoke anime film postponed 1:10:26 - Shy anime confirmed for 2023 1:11:04 - Akuma-kun set for fall on Netflix 1:12:01 - the vending machine isekai set for summer 1:13:34 - Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End anime details revealed 1:18:00 - Anime Trending 2023 awards winners 1:25:44 - r/anime 2023 awards winners 1:35:14 - the CR anime awards… thing 2:12:44 - the state of Crunchyroll in 2023 2:20:36 - Discotek May 30th releases additional audio from: The Wizard of Oz Green Day - “Ha Ha You’re Dead” Evangelion 3.33 EVA 3.33 comparisons c/o Cartoon Cypher: Google Docs link Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Q Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, youtube.com/DubTalk

Some shows have a central theme that dictate how the rest of the episode will play out, and some shows don't have a real theme to it and are just a hodgepodge of "stuff" to talk about. This is the latter, as we discuss the legacy of Leiji Matsumoto and some questionable future plans from Toei, more continued production delays, whatever this new Zoids project is, and another round of "internet translators are loud and annoying and need to let the adults work" - as one does, you see. Also, PLUTO IS ALMOST HERE. Next time, it's the CR Anime Awards. Which means we'll be talking about the r/anime awards instead. intro - Deku’s mood music and no “theme” for this show 5:47 - main stories 1:21:28 - announcements and updates 1:41:08 - home video releases (May/June) 5:47 - RIP Leiji Matsumoto 8:55 - Toei future plans announced in wake of president’s passing 15:23 - sidebar: about this AI trend… 18:10 - PLUTO ON NETFLIX THIS YEAR (we hope) 30:49 - Crunchyroll Expo on pause for this year 33:01 - CR Anime Awards guests announced 39:13 - more producution delays from Aniplex and others (Misfit of Demon King Academy, Technoroid Overmind, Bofuri) 43:09 - Black Clover movie delayed to June 46:46 - Masamune-kun’s Revenge R delayed to summer 47:48 - NEW(ish) Detective Conan DUB episodes are on Tubi 1:01:16 - One Piece #590 crossover episode airing on Toonami next weekend 1:11:34 - Viz has free anime on YouTube 1:13:46 - TAAF Awards winners announced 1:15:06 - the issue with NisiOisin’s Cipher Academy manga 1:21:28 - Attack On Titan: The Final Season Part 3 (Part 1 of 2) premieres next Friday (March 3) 1:23:20 - MIX 2nd season starts in April 1:24:50 - The Eminence in Shadow season 2 announced 1:27:18 - Uma Musume season 3 coming this year 1:28:14 - more Lycoris Recoil announced 1:29:59 - The Apothecary Diaries anime FINALLY announced 1:35:21 - Slime Time season 4 set for spring 2024 1:37:47 - there’s a new Zoids… something 1:41:08 - Sentai June home video releases (My Isekai Life, Made in Abyss S2) 1:48:12 - Crunchyroll May home video releases (Violet Evergarden movie 4K, Tomodachi Game, Restaurant to Another World S2) 2:00:03 - Media Blasters has A THING Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Q Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, youtube.com/DubTalk Duelist – @HeartofSword75, youtube.com/DuelistG

You ever have one of THOSE kinds of weeks? Feels like it was one of those weeks for everyone this week, but with the Super Bowl imminent there's no better way to get ready for it than to listen to 2 hours of anime talk - trust us, it's way better than 7 hours of pregame coverage. And for this particular edition, we have a pretty hefty DISCOTEK DAY to go through, some choice words from an anime legend on some projects with his name attached to, a bit of an elephant in regards to a new Gundam dub, but all of that is insignificant to the return of the greatest anime series ever made: KING OF THE HILL. Yes, really. Financial necessity begets fandom nostalgia, after all. intro - the great internet malfunction of Wednesday 10:27 - main stories 48:06 - announcements and updates 1:25:56 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY OCHO 10:27 - the GOATED anime returns 15:28 - yet another Olympics fraud story update 19:28 - Media Blasters’ worst performing titles? 27:46 - TV piracy in 2022 39:06 - what did Shinichiro Watanabe really think of Netflix Bebop?

Many years ago, people were comparing Attack on Titan to The Walking Dead in tone and structure. Today, those comparisons continue, only… wait, this is how an episode from last year started off. Well, it happened again, in even more stupefying fashion if you can believe it. And to go along with that, we have what’s become an annual tradition at this point: trying to make sense of the Crunchyroll Anime Awards nominations list. But at least we have Discotek Day happening on Monday, and that always makes us feel a little bit better. We also have a rundown of a lot of the dub casts for the winter season, as well as some unfortunate postponements of a few shows from this season, and yet another reason why Crunchyroll’s in-house-only dub mandate was very, very stupid.

Well, we've made it to 2023. Somehow. In commemoration of this achievement, we're getting back to what we do sort-of best: small town college anime club-styled radio. Admit it, you've missed us, too. And to get back into the swing of things, we have something everyone enjoys: LISTS. And a good number of them, recounting the things that came out in the year prior, from the good and bad to the curiously headscratching. As per usual when we return from an extended break, please pardon our dust - it always takes us a bit of time to find our flow again. intro - the grand return and plans going forward 16:45 - main stories 1:06:06 - anime announcements and updates 1:36:56 - LIST-MANIA 2022 2:15:39 - upcoming home video releases 16:45 - RIP Yuji Nunokawa, founder of Pierrot 19:06 - a big One Piece dub update 25:07 - happy retirement, Ash!

After a rather eventful month (to say the least), we close things out for the season - and the year - a bit early with a rundown of what happened at Anime NYC with a spoiler: A PLACE FURTHER THAN THE UNIVERSE DUB IS HAPPENING. And along with that, we have confirmed locks for HiDive and Crunchyroll, a pair of shows coming in 2023 that are both interesting and not, and there's a new world champion around these parts - after a 25 year chase.

In Memoriam Kevin Conroy 1955-2022 It’s been about a month since our last main show so that means one thing: a LOT of catching up to do for every aspect of the industry. From weird and interesting new anime announcements to changes in a few business sectors, upcoming dubs and upcoming sequel seasons, weird ventures into the real world, and the biggest thing of the last few weeks: the latest DISCOTEK DAY that had a little bit of something for everybody. And that also means this show will be VERY jam-packed, aka long. Again. Here’s hoping our next show for Anime NYC won’t be over 3 hours long. intro - Powerballs, fake checkmarks, and catchup 7:21 - main stories 1:05:42 - new show announcements 1:35:00 - everything else 2:05:48 - home video roundup 2:18:17 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY VII 7:21 - Golden Kamuy anime postponed indefinitely 10:42 - there’s MORE to the Kadokawa bribery scandal 17:15 - ANN: a Kadokawa subsidiary 22:02 - Anime Limited acquired by Plaion (Embracer Group) 26:43 - a change in the Jump editorial staff 34:41 - so, about that Trigun Stampede trailer… 45:41 - Disney FINALLY does something with their anime pickups 51:50 - Studio Ghibli did a cute Star Wars short 53:25 - Dragon Quest Dai dub available stateside… kind of? 56:41 - Inu-Oh film dub cast revealed 1:05:42 - Buddy Daddies anime announced, coming January 1:08:57 - The Marginal Service anime announced, coming 2023 1:11:57 - stepping ever so closer to isekai singularity 1:16:47 - Lupin Zero net anime premiering in December 1:22:24 - Hiromu Arakawa autobiography becoming an anime 1:23:48 - Slime Time S3 announced, coming soon 1:25:08 - Uma Musume S3 announced, coming spring 1:27:40 - Vinland Saga S2 set for… Netflix AND Crunchyroll? 1:35:00 - BIRDIE WING S2 pushed back to April 1:36:33 - sad PSA: Tokyopop has licensed good things again 1:50:02 - another live-action Your Name director change 1:54:44 - the Laid Back Camp movie and more coming to Crunchyroll 1:57:13 - PSA: DO NOT use the Oculus IRL SAO helmet 1:59:25 - but what does the Bleach anime taste like? 2:01:29 - LAFC brought Gogeta to the MLS Cup 2:03:17 - Kentarō Satō wants Elon Musk to pay him royalties 2:05:48 - Violet Evergarden The Movie 4K coming out on November 28 (UK) 2:06:27 - Crunchyroll January home video slate (Sabicui Bisco, The Stranger By the Shore) 2:13:25 - misc. home video solicits (Magia Record, Boruto, Inu-Oh) 2:14:54 - Sentai January home video slate (I’m Quitting Heroing, Lupin Part 6) 2:18:17 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY VII (Gunbuster update, GaoGaiGar, Ultimate Muscle, Sonic X JP) 3:08:48 - Discotek January home video slate (Shaman King JP, Virtua Fighter, GaoGaiGar) 3:16:17 - BONUS: the saga of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Twitter account 3:17:34 - BONUS: deleted Ghibli/Lucasfilm discussion additional audio from: Batman: The Animated Series They Live MST3K: Space Mutiny Scrubs Gunbuster (Discotek) The Return of the King Fist of the North Star (Discotek) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Q Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us: Alex –

Well, we made it. One of the biggest anime seasons in history, and we're talking all of it... or at least most of it. It's time to finally tackle the fall 2022 anime season, a season so giant that we're intentionally doing this in two episodes to give everything the time they all deserve. In this second part, we tackle the biggest shows of the season - and possibly of 2022 as a whole - and give them plenty of time to shine, be it the... "grand" return of Bleach and the manic insanity of Akiba Maid War, the old-school cuteness of Urusei Yatsura and the dopey yet charming Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, but of course there's only one show that's gotten the collective "everyone" talking. It's the show about chainsaws and devils, obviously. If you missed the first part, check it out and take notes on what to watch when you're done with the heavy hitters. And we'll see you back next time for the latest DISCOTEK DAY wonderment. re-intro - the sixth Ranger arrives 2:00 - CHAINSAW MAN 29:05 - BLEACH: THOUSAND YEAR BLOOD WAR 38:30 - Urusei Yatsura 2022 50:44 - Akiba Maid War 1:03:13 - SPY x FAMILY (second half) 1:11:05 - MOB PSYCHO 100 S3 1:18:26 - My Hero Academia S6 1:27:02 - To Your Eternity S2 1:33:51 - Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun S3 1:41:36 - Tiger & Bunny S2 (second half) 1:59:16 - BLUELOCK 2:08:28 - The Eminence in Shadow 2:14:16 - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury additional audio from: “Hawatari 2 Oku-senchi” – MAXIMUM THE HORMONE "KICK BACK" - Kenshi Yonezu "Scar" - Tatsuya Kitani "aiue" - Minami feat.

It's time to finally tackle the fall 2022 anime season, a season so giant that we're intentionally doing this in two episodes to give everything the time they all deserve. In this first part, because there actually are other shows worth checking out besides the super big titles, we go through the best of the rest from the returning shows and new premieres, with everything from frenetic chaos in POP TEAM EPIC to stage anxiety in BOCCHI THE ROCK!, the surprisingly captivating romantic pull of Romantic Killer and the always captivating madness of more Stone Ocean, and even a truly baffling roast is had with whatever Love Flops is trying to pull off.

The fall season has begun, and Chainsaw Man Tuesdays are here to make your work week that much more enjoyable - and insane. And before we begin our deep dive on the seasonal offerings, we have some happenings from New York Comic-Con to go over, some more adventures in paywalled internet content from both sides of the Atlantic, updates on stories from our last show, and some lighter levity in the end to balance things out. Negativity can only go so far, there needs to be some dick jokes included for a few laughs. Speaking of laughs, don’t sleep on Urusei Yatsura Thursdays.

With the fall season upon us, commencing in mere hours, the back half of September has been assessing the good and bad of big platforms - sometimes you get really great news, but more often than not you get really awful news. And in rare cases, said awful news could easily be avoided if not for taking the "scenic route" and burning several bridges in the process. Yes, we're an opinionated show, but that opinionated nature comes from passion, as you will hear in our near-30 minute long diatribe about... well, you know. But there's more to it, as we have a slew of reveals from the Aniplex Online Fest and Netflix "TUDUM" events to go over, some interesting projects in the pipeline for 2023, and some good old fashioned nonsense and stupidity at the end. The fall season is about to begin. PACE yourselves. It's not a sprint.

It has been one month since our last main episode, and while some things are changing around here some things will remain the same - namely, the "season" gimmick and the non-sequitur titles and pictures. Those aren't ever going away. And to kick off this new run of shows, we have a discovery of a long-lost Saban pitch pilot, how a big summer show flew too close to the sun and has been punted to restart in fall, a curiously interesting deal between Netflix and NTV worth keeping an eye out on, and of course we had to recount the tale of the true ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny: REIGEN ARATAKA VERSUS SANS UNDERTALE.

Back at it a bit too long since our last special movie episode, it's time to take in the bombastic and earth-shattering awe of the latest anime blockbuster in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero!

Yeah, the whole "numbered seasons" gimmick is still going. Couldn't tell you why, it's just an organizational thing. And speaking of seasons, the summer season is in full swing, even if it's a bit "ehhhhh" in comparison to others, but maybe that's by design because of what's coming up in the fall. Namely, TOO MUCH. But until then, we have a more lax summer season to discuss, weaving through some more average titles to find some diamonds in the dull rough, conspicuously sitting next to a more stacked roast pile than usual. Spend some time catching up on the backlog before the fall season starts, trust us. intro - a hilarious LOLsuit update (and other updates) 7:31 - spring leftovers 16:12 - the good sequel seasons (Made in Abyss, Shadows House, The Devil is a Part-Timer!) 47:15 - the roast pile (Harem Labyrinth, Black Summoner, Rent-a-Girlfriend S2, Biscuit Hammer) 1:09:46 - the new shows worth watching (Uncle From Another World, BASTARD!!, FUUTO PI, Lycoris Recoil) 1:55:03 - everything else (Luminous Witches, My Isekai Life, Engage Kiss, Vermeil in Gold) good sequels: 16:12 - The Devil is a Part-Timer!

The month of July has come and gone, and as we look back on it we can say that it was a pretty strange and wild month across the board. But as the dog days of summer trek onward, so does this show, with plenty of big convention announcements and dub casts for the roll call of the season - and even some extra bits that show that Crunchyroll is just doing way, way, WAY too much for us to keep track of. There will also be some harsh and profane words spoken about a *certain* individual. And yes, it is highly warranted in that manner. intro - time to break stuff (VOLUME WARNING) 8:25 - RIP Kazuki Takahashi 18:00 - Ken Akamatsu actually got elected 22:02 - Isekai Island: more NFT nonsense 26:05 - Square Enix’s manga app has problems 36:21 - San Diego Comic-Con happened again (Knights of the Zodiac movie, BRZRKR anime) 49:18 - BREAKING: Crunchyroll acquires Right Stuf 55:59 - Andrew’s Crunchyroll summer (and backlog) dub rundown 1:31:23 - Anime Matsuri and Vic Mignogna: two peas in a garbage pod 1:46:03 - Netflix August drops (Tekken, Kakegurui Twin, FMA live-action movie) 1:48:57 - BELLE now on HBO Max 1:49:39 - October home video releases (CR, Viz, Shout Factory, Sentai) 2:01:33 - Discotek September home video releases 2:03:03 - Denpa Books and Sentai @ Otakon 2:17:18 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY VI 2:46:47 - BONUS: Crunchyroll Expo Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Q Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, youtube.com/DubTalk 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.

NOTE: This show was recorded before news of the passings of Kazuki Takahashi and Shinzo Abe. After three years since its last in-person event, Anime Expo had its grand return on the big stage, and to the surprise of few it’s still as imperfect as ever with how the event is actually run and managed. Especially since it’s in Los Angeles in JULY. Nevertheless, this means another extended deep dive at the happenings, goings-on, and announcements from AX 2022, of which there were quite a few that were, to sum up, BIG. In the second half of this two-part episode, days 2 and 3 (and even 4) of Anime Expo are discussed, including panels for two big upcoming series (and Bleach, too), why Tokyopop should always be avoided at all costs, some amusing anecdotes from Dark Horse, even MORE Macross coming soon, and the moment where everyone lost their minds - yeah, THAT moment.
