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.

It's the last stop before Anime Expo, and with it comes a smaller platter of stuff to talk about, but a platter nonetheless - and since that Urusei Yatsura anime revival worked so well, why don't we do it again with Ranma 1/2? It'll be... something, that's for sure. There's also a not-so-great update on the recent business dealings of Kadokawa, HiDive getting back into business with Hulu, the end of My Hero Academia drawing near, and an early best-and-worst of an admittedly middling spring season that had the real best show of the season be unavailable due to a return of Toei's bag-fumbling skills. C'est la vie, as some say. We'll catch you all back here next time for the AX goods. And all of the extra nonsense that's sure to come with it. intro - summer sucks and other old people rants 8:46 - main stories 44:00 - best and worst of the spring season 58:32 - announcements and updates 1:14:46 - home video releases 8:46 - Kadokawa services struck down by a cyberattack 12:24 - Studio 3Hz consolidated into A-1 Pictures 16:06 - a sidebar about the streaming economy 18:34 - HiDive putting some big shows on Hulu 22:40 - GUILTY GEAR THE ANIME 27:17 - Ranma 1/2 remake anime confirmed 36:49 - GKIDS putting DANDADAN in theaters after all (on September 13) 40:20 - My Hero Academia finishes publication in August 44:00 - best shows of the spring season 55:35 - worst shows of the spring season 58:32 - HiDive dubs coming in the summer 1:00:43 - Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture dub cast 1:04:05 - Demon Slayer HTA dub on Crunchyroll 1:05:39 - the new Kinnikuman series is set for Netflix, starts July 8 1:07:52 - wading through the Ninja Kamui rumors 1:09:01 - Plus-Sized Elf getting three different versions 1:11:45 - Tokyo Revengers anime sequel annnounced, details TBD 1:13:58 - Oshi no Ko live-action series set for November 28 on Amazon Prime 1:14:46 - Viz September home video releases (Shippuden, Stone Ocean) 1:15:22 - upcoming Shout Studios home video releases (B: The Beginning, GITS:SAC_2045) 1:17:08 - Sentai September releases (Ya Boy Kongming! premium box, Spy Classroom) 1:19:49 - Crunchyroll September releases (Gundam, TRIGUN STAMPEDE, Jobless Reincarnation, Ranking of Kings) 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 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.

Yes, this episode is very late. Life sometimes gets in the way of getting this show done. Nevertheless, there's quite a bit to talk about as we are in the "pre-Anime Expo" buildup, namely some big moves from Science SARU and GKIDS, a good amount of manga and light novel synopsis reading, a deep dive on Netflix's anime data, and the (hopefully) permanent financial demise of GAINAX. All of that, and so much more to come both in this show and in the coming weeks. Call it the prelude to the madness in LA. P.S. the Attack on Titan discussion episode that was promised last year? It’s cancelled. Sorry for that, too. Just imagine all of us screaming for 2 hours straight and that’s the discussion we would have had. intro - a VERY late show and vidya ranting 11:45 - main stories 1:00:26 - announcements and updates 2:06:00 - home video releases 11:45 - GAINAX files for bankruptcy 21:56 - Science SARU acquired by TOHO, producing a new Ghost in the Shell series in 2026 32:34 - GKIDS acquires Angel’s Egg 36:04 - GKIDS acquires home video rights for DAN DA DAN (and ARCANE) 41:34 - SCOOP CONFIRMED: Sakamoto Days is REAL 44:07 - Gachiakuta anime announced for 2025, produced at BONES 49:07 - a Netflix anime data deep dive 55:35 - Attack on Titan… the MUSICAL? 1:00:26 - Ishura dub is FINALLY up on Hulu 1:04:39 - Suicide Squad Isekai premieres on Max… AND Hulu 1:07:40 - Sailor Moon Cosmos coming to Netflix in August 1:10:01 - The Imaginary (Studio Ponoc) dub cast revealed 1:12:00 - Delicious in Dungeon season 2 announced 1:14:37 - Re:ZERO season 3 premiere to be movie-length 1:18:59 - SPY x FAMILY season 3 announced 1:21:15 - Mr. Osomatsu season 4 announced 1:23:34 - One Piece Egghead arc dub premiere happening at Anime Expo 1:26:30 - some more J-Novel Club cringe 1:37:16 - some more Seven Seas licenses 1:51:22 - some new Viz manga licenses 2:03:00 - Crunchyroll locks for summer and beyond 2:06:00 - MACROSS PLUS ultimate edition out on 9/30 2:09:07 - Dragonball Super LE reprint out on 7/30 2:10:08 - more Aniplex July releases (Rascal, Yamada Lv999) 2:11:37 - Otaku no Video out on 10/8 2:12:12 - Sentai August releases (Helck, Executioner/Way of Life) 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.

Well, then. After taking an unexpected month-long break from this show, we are FINALLY back and we are FINALLY whole again with Andrew back in the saddle to give all of the shenanigans that have been sorely missed in his absence. This includes running down the spring dub casts (finally) and reading some cringy light novel summaries, and it also includes talking about some pretty cool things like a Sakamoto Days project for Netflix getting leaked out, TOONAMI REWIND on Fridays, a positive tease for 86 from VIZ of all companies, a scintillating sell for the new Code Geass project, and the curious case of Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction going from movies to a TV series with zero notice - same with Crunchyroll picking it up and giving it a dub ALSO with zero notice. All the fun you've come to expect, and then some, back at it again for all of you to enjoy over this holiday weekend.

Since our last episode, Cody Rhodes "finished the story" at WrestleMania to become the undisputed WWE Champion, and that's good. Sadly, also since our last episode, the overlords at MAPPA decided to finish another story by axing a long-awaited movie project after years of nothing, and that's bad. Things aren't fun, right now, and with that comes a bit of a lull in everything as this is one of the quickest episodes we've done in a very long time - there's some news about Embracer Group to talk about, some updates on that live-action One Punch Man movie project, some brief chatter about SPY x FAMILY Code: White, and talk of Netflix adding some more MANIME to their lineup next moth. Again, it's a pretty quick show, but things should be a bit longer next time when we're at full strength again. And if you need something longer to listen to, our friends and colleagues over at Dub Talk have their 2024 DUBBIE AWARDS show up, so check it out over on their YouTube channel and in your podcast platform of choice. P.S. yes this thumbnail gag has been used before. Good memes remain good. intro - “the story” is finished but life is still hard 10:00 - main stories 26:48 - announcements and updates 43:01 - home video releases 10:00 - Ice Adolescence is cancelled, nobody is happy 17:40 - the MAPPA exodus continues 19:46 - Embracer Group to split into three different companies 22:19 - some updates on AnimEigo 26:48 - Golden Axe to be a Comedy Central animated series? 28:11 - One Punch Man live action film gets new writers 30:43 - GKIDS gets Ghost in the Shell 2 theatrical rights 32:45 - Crunchyroll bringing more movies to theaters this year 34:37 - Hideaki Anno helming a 50th anniversary Space Battleship Yamato project 35:56 - Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf anime premiering next month on Netflix 37:21 - the trailer for Plus-Sized Elf is a bit… lacking 38:27 - the Look Back trailer more than delivers 40:24 - happy 30th to G Gundam 43:01 - Makoto Shinkai Blu-ray collection coming from Anime Limited (UK) 44:02 - about those Gurren Lagann 4K movies… 48:27 - Sentai July home video slate (Dark Gathering, School-Live!) 49:23 - Crunchyroll July home video slate (BOFURI, Soul Eater, vending machine isekai, Vinland Saga) 53:40 - Discotek July home video slate (Urusei Yatsura OVA, Futakoi Alternative) 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 Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com 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.

As of this episode going up, we’re in the middle of WrestleMania weekend, and that means many things to many people, and it means hoping that a certain someone finally “finishes his story” on Sunday so that we can all be done hearing about it. But for us, the grind continues as we put a bow on the winter season and lament the continued cannibalism of the anime industry with a tale of what happened the last time a company or two or three went under. It was a dark time. But we also have a recap of the major announcements from this year’s AnimeJapan, all the good and bad and “what is this” because we all don’t quite know everything new coming out, and also a case where ALL the monkey’s paws have curled in regards to Macross… and Disney. Convention season has also begun, so play it smart and safe if you’re going to one. intro - did you all stay up for Smiling Puppet Friends? 6:24 - the best and worst of the winter season 21:19 - main stories 45:15 - the AnimeJapan 2024 rundown 1:08:43 - other announcements 1:19:12 - home video releases 21:19 - Funimation is officially dead; a brief history of the 2007 home video crash* 36:37 - Apothecary Diaries creator indicted on charges of tax evasion 38:31 - Dragonball Super manga on indefinite hiatus 39:27 - GKIDS acquires four Mamoru Hosoda catalogue films for release 40:58 - Macross catalogue is headed to Disney+ later in 2024 44:31 - a new Sgt.

No jokes, no hyperbole, nothing over-exaggerated - this "awards show" needs to go away and never come back. The corporate overlords at Crunchyroll can put together all of the window dressing they want, but if these events are going to continue awarding themselves and ignoring what the people at AniTrendz and Anime Corner and r/anime put the time and research into awarding then they'll be talked about in an equal manner - with corporate-focused cynicism and exhausted apathy with a whole bunch of "whatevers" to it. This bonus audio was recorded on a day off to just get the corporate nonsense from earlier this (Saturday) morning out of the way while also highlighting the Anime Corner and r/anime awards and honors for their much better and (usually) more thought-out selections. Go to the people and leave the corporations to the side. We'll be back next time to talk about more pressing matters involving Crunchyroll - namely, THAT interview from The Verge. It won't be fun.

As we inch closer and closer out of the winter doldrums, we find more and more cases of rabid internet discourse popping up and it just makes us ask one thing: whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. We don't like talking about these things, but alas, it is our duty to discuss certain elements of discussion with these topics, namely the topic of what NOT to do when you're working on a major anime dub production (yes, THAT) as well as the unknown future of a post-Funimation world with that side of the service set to shut down and sunset on April 2nd. Not a very fun time, right now. But we can take solace in the fact that the five-year "LOLsuit" saga seems to finally be at an end, AnimEigo is under new and well-known ownership, and Crunchyroll has more than four Blu-ray releases set to come out in May for the first time in a while. See, it's not ALL bad, it's just sorta bad. But we'll all wade through the murky waters together, and our good friend Sketch is back to fill in for this treacherous journey. P.S.

HEADS UP: some of the audio is a little crunchy. Weird things happened with some of the recording. We’ll try to not let that happen next time. The sluggish days of winter are here and we're all feeling it around here. We're all a bit tired and we're still trying to wade through our shifting schedules, so pardon any additional dust around here as we work to make the best of an ever-evolving situation. In the meantime, while there are some serious matters to discuss here, there are also a bit of good matters worth talking about, a large amount of dub cast for the season, and hopefully the first bit of the END of a five-year saga that's so unbelievably stupid it's not worth going all the way back to for discussion. Let's just laugh at the disgraced sex pest who will owe half a million dollars to those whom he attempted to silence into submission and committed career suicide as a result of it. Enjoy the festivities on Sunday, too. You know the ones. intro - we’re all very tired 4:37 - main stories 31:14 - the winter dub cast rundown 57:36 - announcements and updates 4:37 - death penalty verdict on the Kyoto Animation arsonist 8:31 - a $376,000 payday from a stupid lawsuit 16:57 - Expelled From Paradise sequel announced 19:37 - Netflix nabs The Imaginary and gets a Studio Ponac partnership 22:22 - Fate/stay night Remastered announced for Switch and Steam 28:54 - From Me to You updated with English dub on Netflix 31:14 - the winter dub cast rundown 57:36 - the new MHA movie is named 1:02:00 - Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning gets distribution deal 1:03:55 - a whole lot of new Viz book licenses 1:22:47 - more Shield Hero is coming… yaaaaaaay… 1:25:05 - Mayonaka Punch and Takusetsu anime projects announced 1:28:24 - Oshi No Ko live-action series announced for Amazon 1:31:19 - not a lot of recent home video releases announced except Blue Giant in April 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/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure, https://xandersmachinations.wordpress.com Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com 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.

Welcome to 2024 and welcome to a new year of this stilly dog-and-pony show we do every so often. We're back in a big way, basically putting together two whole shows in one, recounting the fall season and 2023 as a whole while looking forward to "award season" in one certain aspect and going through the latest pants-filling announcements from Discotek media - one such announcement was very "berserk" in a way, hint hint. And along the way, we've got news on the next show premiering on Toonami next month, how much money the Macross II Kickstarter raised, Monogatari making a comeback, and even a pair of pretty *ecchi* shows making their way down the pipeline. You heard that right. To go along with this, there is also an update for the future scheduling of this show - going forward, there will be no set schedule for when the show will go up besides "it'll be up when it's up," and that's mostly due to our very varied and ever-evolving schedules conflicting with our fun passion hobby of talking anime amongst one another for a few hours every few weeks. So just keep a look out on your podcast platforms of choice (shoutout to Overcast, for one) and on the main site for this show for when new episodes will be up and available. Thanks for reading. Enjoy the show. intro - happy(?) 2024, Duelist talks the Gurren Lagann movie 13:03 - List-Mania 2023 1:01:58 - this year’s Crunchyroll awards nominees 1:48:09 - main-ish stories 1:56:58 - announcements and updates 2:11:41 - Sentai April home video releases 2:14:37 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY 10 13:03 - the best and worst of fall 2023 45:00 - Oricon manga and light novel charts for 2023 56:31 - Polygon’s top anime of 2023 58:36 - the ANN mega-poll results 1:01:58 - this year’s Crunchyroll awards nominees 1:48:20 - Ryu Nakayama defects from MAPPA, forms his own new studio 1:50:43 - Dorohedoro anime returning soon 1:51:56 - new Monogatari anime series announced 1:53:40 - The Boy and the Heron wins at the Golden Globes 1:55:18 - One Piece new episodes being simulcast on… Netflix? 1:56:58 - the Macross II Kickstarter finishes at nearly $405k 1:59:31 - Plus-Sized Elf anime announced 2:02:05 - Ninja Kamui premiering on Toonami in February 2:04:39 - some new Yen Press licenses 2:10:21 - Crunchyroll picks up an… infamous title (Manyū Scroll) 2:11:41 - Sentai April home video releases (Rozen Maiden, Otaku Elf) 2:14:37 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY 10 (Reborn, Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple, MOTHERF-ING BERSERK) 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/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure, https://xandersmachinations.wordpress.com Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com Duelist – @HeartofSword75, y

As 2023 comes to an end, you all may have varying feelings about the year as a whole. For some it was good, for others it was bad, and for the rest it was just very... meh. But we hope to leave the year for all of you on a better note, namely with about two and a half hours of anime discussion to listen to while you're all doing things during your Christmas holiday. Namely, a good bit of wild announcements from Jump Festa across the board, some interesting bits from Netflix regarding what people were watching this year, some upcoming second and third and fourth seasons recently announced, and even a good bit of news for Macross fans - the Macross II Kickstarter is live, so go to it and prepare your wallets for that sweet goodness to come next year. Thanks for listening throughout the year, and have a merry and happy whatever holiday you celebrate. We'll see you in the new year. intro - 2023 summed up: rings, plagiarism, bad vibes, and covid 11:43 - main stories 38:24 - announcements and updates 1:08:21 - Jump Festa 2023 2:16:58 - home video releases 11:43 - Delicious In Dungeon to air on Netflix weekly, simuldub 14:34 - Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation anime set for Netflix in January 18:00 - Macross II Kickstarter is live (and funded) 22:14 - The Boy and the Heron, Suzume get Golden Globes nominations 25:32 - a big Netflix data drop of anime numbers 33:20 - Rising Impact series (7DS author) announced for Netflix, coming 2024 38:24 - Dr. Stone season 4 announced, to be its final season 41:40 - Shy and MF Ghost second seasons announced 44:12 - That Time…Slime S3 announced for April 46:26 - Urusei Yatsura 2022 returns in January 48:27 - Great Pretender razbliuto coming to theaters in January… kind of 51:54 - Undead Unluck dub cast announced 58:04 - The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes coming to HiDive in January 58:36 - the next Code Geass project detailed 1:03:15 - The Eminence in Shadow gets a movie 1:04:50 - Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction movies set for March and April 1:06:34 - Godzilla Minus One to get black & white version in Japan in January 1:08:21 - Dandadan anime set for October 2024 from Science Saru 1:15:46 - ‘The One Piece’ announced from Wit Studio and Netflix 1:33:32 - Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc movie announced 1:40:38 - My Hero Academia season 7 and movie 4 set for spring and summer 1:49:58 - Blue Box teaser revealed 1:53:47 - The Elusive Samurai… not really previewed for 2024 1:56:13 - Oblivion Battery anime announced, set for April 1:59:14 - Red Cat Ramen anime announced 2:01:20 - Magiluiere Co.

After a long Thanksgiving weekend, the grind continues onward - if only for one more week as Anime NYC was quite the event to look back on as opposed to the litany of terrible news we have to go through on this episode. We're all really just limping to the end of the year, in a way. But we carry on, if only for our own sense of self-worth and in honor of the greatest man who ever lived: Kento Nanami. May he find his happiness on the beaches of Malaysia for the rest of time, and may the psychopathic executives of MAPPA find the exact opposite. intro - 2023 stinks but Scott Pilgrim is good 9:26 - main stories 40:55 - announcements and updates 51:20 - Anime NYC rundown 2:18:53 - home video releases 9:26 - MAPPA animators on the verge of mutiny? 23:59 - Kadokawa still planning world domination 26:22 - (old news) Hulu to be Disney-only by 2024 29:56 - HiDive going through some… changes? 32:28 - One Piece Day at SoFi Stadium is a thing 35:30 - Togashi’s last-case scenario ending for Hunter x Hunter 40:55 - Blue Box anime confirmed 45:25 - Legend of Kurokos gets another season 46:54 - Cherry Magic anime set for winter 48:57 - Zom 100 comes back on Christmas Day 51:20 - Anime NYC preamble 59:27 - Crunchyroll announcements 1:10:33 - surviving through cringy J-Novel Club press copy 1:26:57 - Denpa Books 1:28:55 - Kodansha 1:36:26 - Yen Press 1:44:40 - Sand Land confirmed for Disney+ Hulu 1:46:07 - Great Pretender gets a movie… with some caveats 2:01:40 - Lycoris Recoil coming to Toonami in January 2:04:20 - good news for Panty & Stocking 2:05:21 - the new BONES project and more revealed 2:14:41 - Gurren Lagann movies getting theatrical showings in January… with an English dub 2:18:53 - ANOTHER screwup on the Rascal Does Not Dream Blu-ray release revealed 2:26:16 - a $550 Code Geass collector’s edition is a thing 2:30:50 - Crunchyroll February home video releases 2:35:45 - Sentai February home video releases 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/ 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.

Happy Black Friday and/or Small Business Saturday and/or Cyber Monday - the best time of the year for reckless spending on random stuff nobody really needs but the deals are just way too good to pass up - and to help bide the time while you're out shopping (or endlessly browsing Amazon) here's a very long best-of compilation of our past "Discotek Day" events for you all to listen and look back on... for nearly NINE HOURS. Now, in response to the question of "but WHY tho?" the answer is simple: sometimes some ideas are just dumb enough to work. This is nearly a half-gigabyte of audio that took up 22 gigabytes of project files to put together and it will serve as a fine resource of the wonderful madness that the people of Discotek Media give to all of us - to note, this is NOT sponsored in any way, we're just big fans of their work. Stay tuned for our next new episode coming up this weekend, talking Anime NYC and a whole lot more. Intro - happy Black Friday 3:27 - EGDD #1 (Otakon 2019) 42:32 - EGDD #1.5: Anime Lockdown (May 2020) 1:12:29 - EGDD #2 (September 2020) 2:03:28 - EGDD #2.5.0: The Discotekkening (December 2020) 2:49:19 - EGDD #2.5.1: Super Discotek Day (March 2021) 3:22:05 - EGDD #3 (Otakon 2021) 3:43:12 - EGDD #4 (December 2021) 4:25:52 - EGDD #5 (March 2022) 4:58:43 - EGDD #6 (Otakon 2022) 5:28:11 - EGDD #7 (November 2022) 6:18:38 - EGDD #8 (February 2023) 7:03:24 - EGDD #9 (Otakon 2023) 7:56:53 - EGDD #10 (October 2023) 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/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure, https://xandersmachinations.wordpress.com Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com 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.

November is here, the fall season is in full swing, and things have been pretty quiet for a bit all over the place, which means it's the right time for someone to screw up in spectacular fashion. There are not-so-kind words being sent out to a certain voice talent over how a certain recent situation played out, and our punches aren't being pulled in this case because WOW this was bad. But, in happier news, Toonami has things worth talking about again, (most of) the fall season dub casts are run down, we have a reminder that PLUTO is worth spending your time watching on Netflix, and Attack on Titan is finally ending this weekend... we hope. Not just for our sakes, but for the sakes of everyone at MAPPA dealing with a madman for a boss. It's a short show for once, too. Fancy that. We'll all bitch about the $550 Code Geass box of crap next time. intro - spooky season is now over 6:37 - main stories 1:15:24 - announcements and updates 1:21:44 - home video releases 6:37 - how NOT to handle a dub casting snafu (RE: Bleach) 39:03 - Toonami HAS THINGS (Demon Slayer and HD IGPX) 45:12 - Crunchyroll subscription channel now on Amazon Prime Video 48:28 - the fall 2023 dub cast rundown 1:11:29 - PLUTO is good, watch it 1:15:24 - Attack on Titan ENDS this weekend… with MORE coming???] 1:19:54 - Sentenced to Be a Hero anime coming… soon 1:21:44 - Aniplex December releases 1:23:22 - Stone Ocean Blu-ray in January 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/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure, https://xandersmachinations.wordpress.com Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com 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 sure became a meaty show, didn't it? Between the offerings and goings-on at New York Comic Con, Crunchyroll doing a bit of good and QUITE a bit of bad (you all know what it is), and another fantastic Discotek Day event happening, there's quite a lot to get to in this show. There's also a neat rundown of the dub cast for The Boy and the Heron, a pair of curious manga anecdotes to take a laugh or two at, even more manga and light novel announcements, and ALL of the goods that Discotek brought to all of us last week. And yes, we get VERY blunt and serious in regards to one upcoming show's home video release and of how barebones it absolutely should not be. Don't make it a recurring thing, Crunchyroll. Next time? PLUTO. Be ready. intro - PLUTO will soon be upon us… 3:49 - main stories 37:34 - NYCC recap 1:26:00 - announcements and updates 1:36:39 - home video releases 1:59:10 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY X 3:49 - Crunchyroll launches a live FAST channel 11:22 - Crunchyroll paying out a class action lawsuit 14:04 - The Boy and the Heron dub cast 22:51 - what is up with Kindergarten WARS? 25:35 - the NO FAKES Act introduced in Congress (re: AI) 28:11 - Tonikawa manga on a short hiatus for a very specific reason 30:17 - Netflix live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series premieres in December 32:04 - Chainsaw Man gets a Harvey three-peat 33:17 - Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash game releases in February 34:52 - Dragonball Xenoverse 2 will NEVER die 37:34 - DRAGON BALL MUPPET BABIES 47:23 - more Crunchyroll license locks 58:23 - Viz summer 2024 manga releases 1:10:31 - Yen Press new licenses 1:21:36 - Kodansha new licenses 1:26:00 - another round of Seven Seas licenses 1:31:55 - HiDive has things at Anime NYC 1:34:30 - Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning comes to theaters in November 1:35:51 - Suzume back in theaters this month 1:36:39 - Sentai January releases (Love Flops, Giant Beasts of Ars) 1:40:04 - Crunchyroll January releases (One Piece, Bocchi the Rock) 1:42:50 - the Bocchi discussion/rant 1:59:10 - EL GRANDE DISCOTEK DAY X (Nanoha, Belladonna of Sadness 4K, IGPX Blu-ray, Lovely Complex dub) Information regarding the Crunchyroll live action settlement can be found here: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-10-09/crunchyroll-settles-in-class-action-suit-regarding-user-information-privacy/.203230 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/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure, https://xandersmachinations.wordpress.com Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, https://thenerdyabyss.wordpress.com Duelist – @HeartofSword75, yo

For this go-around, we've got a little bit of everything for everyone here - big announcements, business news, recapping a MID season, terrible bullcrap nobody likes, hilarious overreactions from light novel and manga announcements, and even a terrible correction to what we thought was something cool from the last show, only to find out it was all a multi-tiered mistake that was never going to happen to begin with. Such is life, in a way. But at least there's a cool Devil May Cry project coming soon, along with other weird and cool projects for Netflix coming as soon as this month - this is a reminder that we are mere weeks away from PLUTO. We will talk about it. And sadly, we also have to talk about the news regarding the status of Rightstuf - or rather, the lack thereof, going forward. It won't be fun. At least there's a Discotek Day happening next week along with NYCC.

(Producer’s note: this episode is late due to a very busy week. Apologies for the delay.) Have you all heard about the smash hit new shonen series Kagurabachi? It's gotten three anime seasons, two movies, and has sold one trillion copies of its manga - it's the new MORBIUS SWEEP... okay, jokes and memes aside, sometimes Morbius-meme-ing a series can work, but we'll see in the coming weeks and months if Kagurabachi has the legs to live on in the pages of Jump. And along with talking about that, there is good news for the future of One Piece on Netflix, a rundown of everything from the Aniplex Online Fest event, Demon Slayer and SPY x FAMILY getting Switch games that may or may not be deemed shovelware, and a rundown of Crunchyroll's fall simulcast slate... MOST of it, rather. P.S. next time we'll be going hard on the Rightstuf news.

As was made famous on an episode of The Simpsons many years ago, it was the best of times and the BLURST of times. In the case of the former, it's the smashing success of One Piece on Netflix - and yes, it IS good - but in the latter, it's a crash-and-burn of a supposed upstart company with too much ambition and not enough capital. Such is life, in a way. As for what it all means for this show, it doesn't mean a whole lot, but this IS the shortest show we've done in quite a while as not a lot has been going on lately. The end of summer means things are slowing down a bit, but we'll be back next time for a meatier show.

In Memory "Bray Wyatt" Windham Rotunda 1987-2023 The summer heat is still lingering around and it's affecting all of us in various ways. Namely, we were all a bit off on some things today, like forgetting certain voice actors' roles or figuring out whether or not Sentai's upcoming Familiar Of Zero rerelease has the season one dub because of website formatting. Here's to cooler temperatures coming sooner for all of us because we could use it, but in the meantime we have some looks at the upcoming Scott Pilgrim series on Netflix, some updates for HiDive, some Shonen Jump updates for two of its bigger titles, and a fantastic series showing up on a very unexpected platform - at least it's free, so there's that. Also, remember to pay your creditors what they're owed in a timely fashion, VIC.
