Due to audio issues, we had to record this episode multiple times. Thankfully, hybridmink was able to replace me as host when I wasn't able to make it to the rerecording session. The result is a new and improved versi- Just kidding, of course. All versions of this episode are equally as bad as each other. But if you're looking for our thoughts on spring anime, ebay erotica, and the life of Berserk author Miura, then give this episode a listen.

Everyone wants to get a piece of that Demon Slayer pie, from Gigguk to Gugsy (equally famous anibloggers). But where are the old people? What do they think of the movie? Well wonder no more, my friends, because today we bring a tightly-woven episode of the oldest men hybridmink could dig out of the AniTAY author Discord. And fear not, anime hipsters, for this episode contains more than slayers of demons. Nier Replicant, Shadows House, and random old anime from your grandfather’s childhood all have their time to shine. This episode’s members: hybridmink, Requiem, DocKev

On this week's episode of the AniTAY Podcast, we pivot from our wide-ranging seasonal impressions featured in our previous episode to hone in and talk about a few specific new shows at length. From the comedic insanity of Full Dive to the unending journey of To Your Eternity, we've got some spicy takes about some of the biggest hits and anti-hits of the season.  This episode's members: "The Professional" Protonstorm, "Riveting" Reikaze, "Gugsy" Gugsy, Req

Now that the spring season is in full swing, it’s time to for our rapid-fire first impressions! Today’s episode features our more m a t u r e cast members, so if you’ve ever wondered what it is like to hear four senior citizens yell about Japanese cartoons, wonder no more.

We are right on the cusp of April, and you know what that means: a new season of anime! As is tradition, the AniTAY Podcast crew gathered together to take a gander at the latest and greatest of upcoming Japanese animation projects. What do we think will be good, what do we think will be bad, and how awkward will all these predictions become when they are inevitably proven wrong? Give this episode a listen to find out!

Within the anime fandom, even the most abhorrent of shows have their supporters. Equally as important, for each and every show with fans there is an equally rabid group of haters. Today's episode is about the haters; haters of The Devil Is a Part-Timer (dil), haters of the new Netflic original anime High Rise Invasion (kinksy), and haters of Neon Genesis Evangelion (requiem). But why do they hate? I think part of it is that they see themselves reflected in those anime, and they can't bear the sight of it. If you want their reasoning, you'll have to listen to this episode!

What are your favorite anime weapons? I want you to think about your answer to this before Requiem inevitably explains why his favorite is from Ice Age "90s" anime, whatever that means. Much more importantly, the crew also gives their thoughts on the latest and greatest anime of Winter 2021, from sequels like The Promised Neverland to newcomers like Wonder Egg Priority and more.  This episode's members: hybridmink, DocKev, DilKokoro, Requiem

Looking for some really deep dives on a couple of the top anime hits of the season? Then this episode of the AniTAY Podcast is for you! This extra-long episode features in-depth discussion on Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki-kun, Mushoku Tensei, and more. From pants-wearing titans to animator scholarships in Japan, we also cover the latest in Japanese pop culture news later in the episode. (As you may have noticed, both this episode and the last episode were a couple of days later than our usual posting. I’m hoping to return to our regular bi-weekly Wednesday date for the next episode.) This episode’s members: Protonstorm, Raitzeno, #1 Pecorine Player DilKokoro, Gugsy

After a two-day delay (issues with audio editing, sue me) the AniTAY Podcast is back with another spicy rack of anime takes, as is essential to any good weeb cuisine. After all, no anime season can truly be counted as having started until Requiem alerts us to his terrible taste. On a related subject, you are all perhaps aware that a show called Cells at Work! CODE BLACK is airing, which means it is time for our doctor-in-residence DocKev to chime in with his opinion on the show. But I can assure you that whatever direction you think that conversation is going to go in, you are wrong. But how wrong? Only one way to find out!

The AniTAY Podcast is back for the New Year with a brand new season. And what better way to start off a new round of podcast episodes than taking a proper look back at the year that was? This episode, we step away from our regular format for our special yearly look at the official AniTAY top anime of 2020 list. For anyone looking to hear more about the reasoning (and disagreements) behind our official rankings, this is the episode for you! **Warning: the audio for this episode was damaged, sorry! We are working to find a new method for recording to avoid this problem in the future.** This episode’s members: Protonstorm, Kinksy, Requiem, and special guest TGRIP

It's that time of the (future) season again. Join AniTAY authors as we attempt to divine which shows will be the best and worst of the season. Will we be terribly wrong? If our past record is to be believed, the answer is "yes," but we will try our best anyway.  This episode's members: hybridmink, DocKev, Raitzeno, Thatsmapizza, Requiem

It’s a tale as old as time. A boy is told from a young age that he can become whatever he wants when he grows up, but hidden behind those words is the truth that not all dreams come true. The AniTAY Podcast seeks to bring to fruition as many youthful dreams as we can, which is why we teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation* to help young lad DilKokoro fulfill his dream of becoming a VTuber. Find out more about our mission in this week’s installment of the AniTAY Podcast. But more importantly, this episode of the AniTAY Podcast was an opportunity for us to do some deep dive discussions on some of the hot topic anime this season, including The Day I Became a God, The Irregular at Magic High School, and Higurashi: Gou. We also discuss some of our (least) favorite anime characters of all time toward the end of the episode. Please enjoy the final AniTAY Podcast episode of 2020!

The AniTAY Podcast is back and it’s not about to take any prisoners. Not after the last time’s PR disaster. The Fall 2020 anime season is still chugging along, and it will surprise exactly no one to learn that both Kinksy and Requiem continue to watch terrible anime. These terrible shows take many forms. Some, like Wandering Witch, are debatable. Others, like By the Grace of God, were probably never going to be good in the first place. This may lead you to ask: how do these guys even choose which anime to start watching at the beginning of the season?? This question, along with many others, will be answered in this week’s episode.

The AniTAY Podcast is back for the first time since our transfer to Medium. This episode was actually recorded in the final days of our kinja blog, but we managed to avoid chatting too much about what at the time felt like our impending doom. Regular member DilKokoro stepped into the host chair to lead our intrepid anime explorers as we break down the latest in Fall 2020 season anime, upcoming sequel (prequel?) announcements, and even our favorite anime couples. Please give this episode a listen to show your support! Every view counts!! This episode’s members: DilKokoro, Requiem, DocKev, Stinolez, Reikaze

You asked, and we delivered: five hours (eight minutes) of Higurashi discussion, unfiltered, brought to you by the sick monsters at the AniTAY podcast. And that’s just the beginning of our chat about the blockbuster Fall 2020 anime season. Things move to a more general Japanese pop culture discussion in the second half of the episode. From DocKev’s deep-seated hatred for the Muv-Luv visual novel series to a biting critique of a poor man’s attempt to compile a top 25 rivals in anime list, the crew manages to cover bases I didn’t even know existed. This episode’s members: hybridmink, Dilkokoro, Requiem, DocKev

The AniTAY Podcast is back for some of that Fall Madness action. Does Jujitsu Kaisen live up to the hype? Will Wandering Witch stay good? (Apparently not, it turns out.) Whose “anime that makes me angry” answer left everyone in shock? Find out all this and more on this week’s episode. This episode’s members: Protonstorm, Dilkokoro, Requiem, Thatsmapizza, Gugsy

It's that time of the (pre)season again: the seasonal preview podcast is live.
