Anitay

Welcome to the AniTAY Podcast! Here’s an extremely late episode of the AniTAY Podcast, recorded early in early July, but because Fruity disappeared off the face of the earth and Dex was busy having fun with the Xbox One SDK & Disney Infinity, he never edited it. It has some technical difficulties, but it’s worth a listen regardless. Also, it’s the last AniTAY podcast in this format, so give it a last hurrah! So, in this episode, because we recorded it when we did, we talked about the spring season and anticipation for the summer season, which we’re currently in. Hope you have a blast! Chapters Audio Demons Warning + Intro: Start - 1:21 Yamada Kun & The Seven Witches: 1:21 - 14:37 My Teenage Romantic Comedy SNAFU: 14:55 - 28:26 Ore Monogatari: 28:26 – 41:07 Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works: 41:07 - 1:12:59 Kekkai Sensen: 1:12:59 - 1:23:57 Spring 2015 Wrap Up/ Food Wars Tangent: 1:23:57 - 1:25:29 Summer 2015 Intro: 1:25:29 - 1:25:58 EvenSteven’s Picks Dragonball Super: 1:25:58- 1:31:12

Today, a couple of us Ani-TAY authors were having a dandy Skype call and somehow the question, “How long would it take to watch every anime?” was asked. Specifically, if you started watching 10 hours of anime a day starting now (mid 2015), how long would it take to watch every anime that had already been made, including all of the new anime that would air during the time to complete this feat? The following was recorded. Keep in mind that these calculations based off values that are essentially ballpark estimates. It’s not sophisticated by any means and is only a loosely educated guess. Also, this is a snippet from the call, so there are no proper introductions. I hope you enjoyed it. :P

Well, hey there! I bet you didn’t think this would exist! Fortunately, the brilliant minds behind Ani-TAY bring you another, super special bonus episode of the podcast. However, we’ve changed up the formula...slightly... so you all are in for a surprise! Make sure to stick around for the whole thing, trust me. Enjoy. Disclaimer: Protonstorm most definitely did not kidnap Ani-TAY authors for this social experiment, they were most definitely willing volunteers.

Let me just say, sorry for the super long delay. It’s been a very busy period for a lot of us and this was nearly the death of me. After that being said, it’s the one and only Ani-TAY Podcast !!

This episode features the usual with Toshi filling in for Richard. we discuss some old anime along with the new ones, and Fruity planned something super fun at the second segment for everyone to enjoy!!

Hey everyone, it’s the eleventh episode of the podcast.

Hey guys! Been a while right? Well don’t worry; we’re back with a brand new episode of the Ani-TAY Podcast, just in time! So sit back , relax and have a good time. Whole new year, whole new anime , same old cast! We’ll be discussing some of the brand new anime airing winter 2014, and touching on one that is still going strong. Also we go topical with February where the crew will tell us their favourite romantically themed anime in time for Valentines!

It’s been all of 3 months since we did one of these, so if you have no idea what it is, check out episodes 1 and 2. After Hours is where we just talk about anything we want, so we decided we’d talk about the past year of anime, and AniTAY (It was more of the latter). Today on this glorious 2 hour episode of after hours made to make up for the December episode we didn’t do, we have myself (Rockmandash12), Dex (Dexomega), Michael (Protonstorm), Thomas (Thatsmapizza), Koda (Koda89), and Scott (EvenSteven02). These episodes will have no chapters and are totally unstructured, with us going off many tangents because it’s after-hours! No restrictions or rules in place and hopefully just as much fun. Please excuse the not great editing and random mice clicking/keyboard/mic gains/etc. :/  

Right going to keep this short, and let you enjoy this behemoth of an episode. Hopefully everything turned out okay, and let me just say this, READ THE CHAPTERS IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS!! That being said, we have the amazing Toshi Nakamura (ANOTHER KOTAKU WRITER) and he was just delightful! This episode we spoil everything and discuss some of the bigger named show this fall season 2014. Right Chart Also big thanks to Kevin (Rockmandash12) for producing a desperately needed podcast art, and on such quick notice (at time of asking) Chapters Intro with added toshi - 0:00:00-0:07:50 Fate Stay Night - 0:07:50 - 0:32:20 psycho pass 2 - 0:32:20 - 0:55:40 Super spoilers episode 8- 0:46:50 - 0:51:33 cross ange - 055:40 - 1:25:00 Bahamut & Garo - 1:25:00 - 1:49:30 SPOILERS, FOR EVERYTHING EVER, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED David Ruined Fafner - 1:49:30 - 1:54:45 AKB0048- 1:54:45 - 1:58:27 Idolmasters- 1:58:27-2:01:42 Kevin Ruined Code Geass -2:01:42 - 2:02:40 Steins Gate- 2:02:40 - 2:05:50 Schools Day- 2:05:50 - 2:13:00 W

IT’S EPISODE 8 guys!! My lord so close to double figures, because apparently double figures hold high significance! Ahh seasons changed and it’s already November, don’t know about you but it’s also much colder as well. So let’s see…..oh yeah the Ani-Tay podcast episode 8 features the amazing mdubs! Who’s written a lovely little piece here about cliché love story, give it a read it’s worth your time. As usual it’s your reoccurring cast of Me (FruityDrinks), Richard, David (dexomega) and Kevin (rockmandash12) making our scheduled appearance as well. Also thank Richard for our episode title. This episode we discussed some fun shows that are airing this season to freshen things up and keep up with the new change of the season, while closing off a major arc in Sword Art Online II. Sword Art Online II (Gun Gale Arc, I always read that as Gun Gal) Parasyte The Lord Marksman and Vanadis Trinity Seven Your Lie in April Now I’m sure we’ve all had our own opinion on certain anime. Saying various things on why

It’s been a while since we did one of these, so if you are not familiar with the concept, check out episode 1. After Hours is where we just talk about anything we want, and we certainly did that, but we tried to focus on this season. On this edition of after hours, we didn’t have Ken, so Kevin (Rockmandash12) is taking place of the host (and the editing ;-;), and like usual we have Dex (Dexomega), but joining our ranks is Michael (Protonstorm, First Half), Thomas (Thatsmypizza), and once again, Koda (Koda89). These episodes will have no chapters and are totally unstructured, with us going off many tangents because it’s after-hours! No restrictions or rules in place and hopefully just as much fun. Please excuse the not great editing and random mice clicking :/

Step right up, blast those speakers, put on your headphones, and quietly slip in your earphones (all at once). It's that time again where you listen to the ANI-TAY PODCAST EPISODE 6. Can you believe it 6 months we've been running this gig, from the days of recording a skype call (oh I missed those, easier to edit) to now actually recording locally. So thank you for your continued support! In this episode the cast is joined by the immaculate Protonstorm A.K.A Michael. Together we'll be discussing the most popular anime airing this summer 2014. We'll be voicing our opinions on these anime along with our general thoughts. While on the subject of popular shows that people tend to gravitate towards, we thought we'd indulge in past popular anime with our views on them. Hope you enjoy the episode!! Chapters ( thank you Dex) Intro: 00:00 - 03:55 Sword Art Online II: 03:56 - 22:06 Tokyo Ghoul: 22:07 - 35:38 Terror in Resonance: 35:39 - 53:10 Akame ga Kill: 53:11 - 01:08:27 Aldnoah.Zero: 01:08:28 - 01:26:28 Ending of S

You know that scene in anime, 2 people agree to meet for a date, and one turns up really early and anxious, the other turns up a little late? Yeah I like to think this is what happened with the release of the podcast Podcast : Sorry I'm late, were you waiting long? You : No, it's okay I just got here (In reality you arrived and waited almost 2 weeks) Joining our ranks is the Deadly….Fatalis!! In this spoilerific episode ready to ruin your enjoyment of shows you've never seen (though since the release of this episode is a little late, hopefully it won't!) We picked shows that we really enjoyed at the start of the summer season, which made a great impression on us with the few episodes we had seen at the time. Only then for us to think back of previous shows which had achieve a similar feat of astounding us personally in their first few episodes. This is the part where you listen to the podcast and then forgive me for being late because you had a blast with the podcast. If not then let me again say sorry for be

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, beautiful people across the whole wide world (credit to Day[9]) Enjoying your summer ? Well it'll only get better with this episode of Ani-TAY Podcast! Special guest this episode is our own MainProtoganist. So we thought we'd switch it up a little for this episode since we're on the verge of a new season. We decided to do a retrospective view on our spring picks 4 months ago and say how we feel about the show in the end, after the season has ended. Only to pick ourselves up again and say top shows that aired during the spring that we thought were good! After that we thought it'd be fun to do it again, and do a summer preview on shows we expect to have fun with! Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?

After deliberating between ourselves, we decided we should do an after-hours episode. Difference is we’ll discuss everything and anything that was left out from the main podcast episode. This episode has Ken, David and Kevin as your usual members with a special guest Koda(Koda89) Also be reading out some user comments from the open article!

A podcast made by the Kotaku reader-run anime community Ani-TAY, a sub-community of Talk Amongst Yourselves. The Ani-TAY Podcast features Kotaku author Richard Eisenbeis and Ani-TAY Community members FruityDrinks (Ken), Dexomega (David) and Rockmandash12 (Kevin)! This podcast is dedicated to the latest seasonal anime & discussing broad open subjects about anime in general. In addition to the main cast, we also feature a different guest from the community every episode! This episode’s special guest is Aestevalis (George)! A lot of preparation and work was put into this special pilot episode, and I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labour. As we cast our minds back over the course of two seasons we share our opinions on some of the biggest shows that aired. We also expressed our views on what we anticipate most for the spring 2014 in anime. It’s only right we then open up old wounds and scars that past series that have inflicted such onto us, due to that exact anticipation and hype which sometime surrounds a
