Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast: Recent Episodes
Bad Bard Productions
Kawaii-Fi Radio is all about Anime, Manga and Japanese Otaku Culture!
From the big anime news stories to what's worth watching to Back Catalogue recommendations, we're an all-ages podcast celebrating the world of anime - new and old!
New episodes fortnightly and monthly YouTube Videos!
Come join us - www.kawaiifi.com.au
We’re a bit late this episode due to a combination of life events and work getting in the way of us recording! Our dinosaur anime ep is now dropping next episode, and in the mean time we have an anime film to talk to you about!
Long time anime fans will know of the incredible Your Name by Makoto Shinkai, and likely his follow up features – Weathering With You and Suzume.
Before finding success with garden of words, Shinkai moved from making short films to feature lengths with the 2011 film – Children who Chase Lost Voices, also known as Journey to Agartha in some markets.
It’s his first full length film and it certainly shows. So we have to ask - is this Makoto Shinkai’s worst film?

According to the internet - Cat girls are back in anime!
But did they ever truly leave?
With the virality of Chainsmoked Cat (in more ways than one, yeeeeesh!) we’re looking at where this character archetype came from, and how they’ve changed since their earliest interpretations!
Plus the latest anime news, reviews and a dose of “why” every so often!

Many samurai movies have kind of come and gone in Japanese cinema – both in live action and animated varieties. And while some leave a lasting impression on Nippon’s cinematic industry, others are forgotten - not because they are bad - but often due to simple things such as bad release windows, limited advertising budget or extremely limited availability after release.
This week’s episode is all about one of the later – a cinematic, action packed, animated samurai film, set in the gritty Sengoku period, with a dash of China’s Wuxia storytelling thrown on top of beautiful, hand-crafted animation at Studio Bones.
Does Sword of the Stranger of tread a new path compared to other Samurai tales? No – but it truly does not need to. If you love samurai tales like the gritty remake of Dororo or even the bombastic Samurai Champloon, this is 2 hours you’ll be glad you spent watching this amazing film.
P.S: We’re almost back to our normal release schedule folks – Patreon content will start dropping this weekend!

After a celebrated run at international film festivals, the anime movie adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s All You Need is Kill is now available to buy digitally – and hopefully should land on streaming platforms soon.
So how does this re-imagining of the light novel compare to the Hollywood adaptation – Edge of Tomorrow – and even its own manga adaptation?
Honestly? It doesn’t. But it’s not because it’s bad – it’s a whole new take on the story.

The Criterion Collection just added the K-ON movie to their catalogue, cementing it as a classic anime film for the ages. That said, they only have 5 anime titles in the collection, so we’ll take it with a grain of salt lol.
However, it’s a great excuse for us to revisit an iconic Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) anime from the early 2000’s!
So, does K-On hold up to current audience expectations? Or does its meandering, slice of life pacing made it harder for current audiences to enjoy?
Join us as we share our thoughts, dig into the series history and explain why the series ended despite its huge popularity.
Also, BIG apologies on the delayed recording and release - illnesses, travel for work and scheduling conflicts made this episode a real struggle to get out. Our next 2 releases may see delays due to Kyle travelling extensively for work over the next 6 weeks, but we’ll keep you in the loop!

At Kawaii-Fi we wouldn't describe ourselves as "sporty" people - shocking we know! But every now and then, a sports anime will bring people in from all areas of the anime fandom.
We've seen it happen with Haikyu and Slam Dunk, and we may have another one to add to the list.
100 Meters dropped on Netflix late last year after a widely praised run at film festivals around the globe. So what's the deal?
Utilising everything from hand drawn art and rotoscoping to modern animation techniques, this unique film follows several young sprinters throughout their careers, sharing a unique perspective on the sport - and it's a very engaging watch!

This episode we’re diving into the Back Catalogue to share a fantastic series we should have talked about more when it aired – Sand Land!
Based on the early 2000’s manga by legendary mangaka Akira Toriyama, this series and its game were the last projects he worked on before passing away in 2024. And with Dragon Ball Super returning this year, it felt like the right time to revisit the series!
This, plus gushing over the second season of the Live Action One Piece, the latest anime news and an odd retro series set in the distant future – 2026!

Penguins showing up in a Japanese town miles away from any ocean, coupled with other strange occurrences? Sounds like a compelling idea for a film, and the artwork looks amazing!
But temper your expectations - Penguin Highway is unfortunately not a great example of Japanese storytelling, with logic frequently thrown to the wind and a heap of forgotten and unexplained plot points.
So is it worth a watch? Guess you better listen to the episode!
In general news, we're back on schedule with the brand refresh now mostly complete. However, this has resulted in Kyle making poor choices on what we watch two times in a row! If he messes up the episode after white day, he may have his weeb card confiscated lol

Literally bursting at the seams with a ludicrous amount of low angle shots, this questionable franchise received two prequel series for it’s leading lady.
But is it any good? Honestly? Better listen to find out!

It’s time again for the Kawaii-Fi Anime Awards!
As we do each January, we’re looking back on the past year of anime! Each team member picks out their favourite shows across categories featuring genres, music and art – and we also touch on those they’d rather forget!
We won’t be able to capture all the great shows from 2025, so sound off in the comments with your picks for each category!
Our rules for award eligibility:
-
An anime must have finished airing in 2025. This means a broadcast run ending before December 31st, 2024 in Japan. This includes anime that began their run in 2024 and finished in 2025 (ie 2-cour series that run into the new year).
-
Anime which are ongoing from the previous year (eg Cat’s Eye, Tojima want’s to be a Kamen Rider etc) do not qualify for these awards, but are eligible for the 2026 awards once their broadcast run ends.
-
Anime films must have had a true international release (cinema or digital) in this calendar year to qualify. Re-releases and remasters are not eligible.

Angel’s Egg is a bit of an oddity – it has hardly any dialogue, the characters are unnamed, there are weird groups of ghostly fishermen, and – of course – a girl carrying an egg.
Released in 1985, the film is an avante garde story set in a fantastical setting. And you know you’re in for a wild ride when even the creator says they don’t know what it’s about!
It’s a piece of anime cinema that predates some of the biggest films of the era, and with the 4K remaster out in the wild, you might be tempted to check it out.
But be warned – it’s an odd experience, especially in todays fast paced and attention grabbing world of entertainment!

Fujimoto Tatsuki is now fairly well known for his action blockbuster series Chainsaw Man, the very strange manga Fire Punch and his introspective short Look Back.
But before any of these stories began, Fujimoto-san wrote several one-shot manga that he submitted to manga awards and contests between the ages of 17 and 26.
These short stories were collected into two manga volumes in 2021 and were just released as an anime compilation series on Amazon Prime!
Collecting a selection of his works from 2011 through to 2018 (Kyle apologises for getting the date wrong in the episode!), Fujimoto Tatsuki 17-26 shows how the manga-ka’s work evolved over time and gives us glimpses of the ideas that would go on to shape some of his future work!
They’re also just great fun!

Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc has been doing fantastically in cinemas around the world!
It's violent, bloody, and a real punch in the gut, featuring spectacular artwork and storytelling.
Is Denji still emotionally stunted? Yes, and the story wouldn't be anywhere near as compelling if he wasn't still learning about the world.
Plus all our usual shenanigans, the latest anime news and a few recommendations from this season and the manga catalogue!
P.s. We're releasing on Wednesdays going forward!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Halloween is upon us and - as is tradition – we’ve let our Patreon members choose this episode’s topic… and we should have known better XD
This episode, we dive into the world of Ecchi-Horror – a niche genre that tries to offset the violence and psychological impact of horror with content from the other end of the genre spectrum.
And as always, we have some shows from this season and the latest anime news to fill you in on!

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle - Part 1 has been obliterating records for Japanese films throughout its run – and in some countries, it’s not even opened yet!
Aaron, Kenny and Kyle sit down to talk about the latest instalment in this blockbuster franchise, but be warned: there will be very mild spoilers, too many flashbacks and a surprise Tatem Channings.
Plus, what we’ve seen from the new season, hi-fives and a rather beefy anime news segment alongside our usual hijinks!

This episode, we were originally going to talk about the airing anime Turkey… but after watching several episodes… We uh… we didn’t really rate it lol.
So instead, we’re looking at a fantastic film from the early 2000’s – Summer Wars!
Back in a brighter time, where the dead internet theory wasn’t so prevalent, content slop didn’t exist and AI was only a glint in the worlds eye.
All this plus what we’ve been watching (yes, Turkey is in there) and the latest anime news!

You might think that Takopi’s Original Sin is a weird title for something that looks so cute and wholesome at first glance – but don’t be fooled.
This episode, Kyle and Aaron shed some tears for a show that doesn’t pull its punches, as an octopus shaped alien tries to make one child happy – experiencing the abuse, trauma and fear the children are going through.
This episode is NOT for our younger listeners, as it covers a lot of heavy themes including bullying, manipulation, self-harm and domestic violence.
Plus, the latest anime news and two picks from this season to cleanse your pallet after the weight of this series.
MENTAL HEALTH
If you’re struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you’re not alone.
It’s not easy to ask for help or admit we need it, but airing out our struggles can help make them lighter to carry.

With wild storms sweeping Australia at the moment, we're throwing back to a film we saw in the first year of the podcast - Weathering with You!
How has this film held up over the past 6 years? Is it still a visual feast? And how well does the story hold up?
Join us for a bit of nostalgic Makoto Shinkai viewing and the answer to the question - what happened to Japan's flood management system in this film???

Is it anime? No. But is it animated and taking the world by storm? Very much so!
Kpop Demon Hunters might not fit our usual range of topics on this podcast, but the film is a great example of how media that is firmly grounded in its culture can take the world by storm when it's handled right!
It's a film produced by Sony's Spiderverse team (and all the baggage that comes with it), which has resulted in some typically anime style elements and art choices being used throughout the film!
All this, plus What We've been Watching and a bag full of anime news items!

The Black Lagoon manga is returning to production after another long hiatus and we finally know a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes.
Creator Hiroe Rei recently opened up to Comic Natalie on the struggles he’s had with his mental health over the past 15 years. That struggle resulted in the manga going on hiatus after hiatus.
With the upcoming return likely being another limited run before a break, we decided it’s a great time to discuss the series and its background. And also ask the question: Is the outro sequence ripping off Twin Peaks???
All this plus the latest anime news and our current watch list as the new anime season gets under way!
Mental Health
If you’re struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you’re not alone. It’s not easy to ask for help or admit we need it, but airing out our struggles can help make them lighter to carry.

All this, plus our picks from the 2025 Spring season and the latest anime news!
SHOW NOTES & UPDATES
-
We had something go wrong with Aaron’s mic as part of the recording (poor connection) so please excuse the issues with his audio track! The issue has been found and addressed :)
-
NEW RELEASE DAY: We're now releasing audio episodes on Tuesdays going forward due to changes with work and team availability. Video episodes will continue to release between then and Wednesday evening (mostly due to YT's processing time for ling videos!)

This episode, Kyle and Aaron look back into the 80’s at an often-overlooked franchise – Crusher Joe!
Based on a series of sci-fi novels which began in the 70’s and a film produced by Sunrise in 1983, will this movie and accompanying OVA’s crush the competition? Or will it crush our hopes and dreams for 80’s anime goodness?
Plus a hidden gem from this season and the latest anime news – straight to your eaaarrrssss.
P.S. Apologies for the late release - details explained in the episode!

It's long been an in-joke in the anime community that it's difficult to find the right jumping on place with the Fate series.
But we've got great news for you - Aaron is here to clear up the confusion around TypeMoon's most successful franchise, amd we've even got a watch order for you too!
So strap in and get ready for a knowledge drop - and we promise: it's NOT as confusing as it seems!

We’re doing a little something different this time as the episode lands on Mothers day here in Australia!
There’s a lot of amazing anime mums to talk about – both in recent series and classic.
But instead, we’re going to rely on a list for the internet and repeatedly ask why!

It’s time for another classic shonen series that spawned a massive merchandise franchise to get our focus! And this time it’s Beyblades!
So with Kyle’s understanding of Beyblades being “shiny-disk-spin-and-go-brrrrrr”, we thought it best to bring in some subject matter experts – meaning both Terry and Brendan join Kyle and Aaron!
Be prepared for bad jokes, dad puns and a surprisingly awkward news segment thanks to Netflix.
Plus all our usual segments including an interesting back catalogue pick!

This episode is all about bread. Seriously, that’s the show!
We have bread, we talk about bread, discuss baking bread and there’s even a bread anime!
Yakitate!! Japan is a time capsule of early 2000’s anime, from a time when animation cels were still in use, the seasonal format was only just beginning, and shonen anime would air until their team had to create filler!
So how well does this award-winning franchise hold up after 20 years?
Plus we talk the latest anime from this seasons and dive into a heavy fortnight of Anime News!

It’s White Day and that means our wonderful Patreon members have gifted us an anime to watch in return for Valentine’s day - Long time listeners know where this is heading!
This time around - we’re talking about the ecchi and yuri filled colour-fest that is 2024’s Gushing over Magical Girls! This series is not for the feint of heart, covering several fetishes and some rather dicey content – you have been warned!
All this plus the latest on what’s airing right now and the latest anime news!

Lord of the Rings has conquered many forms of media, from books to film, top comics and even audio dramas. But while attempts have been made, the animated medium has had middling success.
So how would a LoTR anime fair? We’ve had our first taste with The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim – which is now available to stream on HBO Max.
So has this outing faired any better? And should you seek it out?

It’s February, and that can mean only one thing! It’s time for our annual Valentine’s Day episode!
This episode is not one for the kids (yes, I can see you reading this boy) and neither is the show we’re discussing, so if you’re one of our younger listeners we’d advise skipping this one.
The show in question is the 2003 ecchi martial arts series Ikki Tousen.
This franchise is now old enough to drink, and good thing too because it has some pretty heavy adult themes through it!
This series is a time capsule - of a time where the line between anime and “chicken formal wear” was very clearly defined. But compared to more recent ecchi shows, Ikki Tousen seems out of place.
So is it worth revisiting?

It’s the end of the year and that means it’s time for an Anime Hotpot Episode!
Each of us have brought an anime series from the back catalogue to share as we wind down for the end of the year – so what’s going in the pot this time?
A little cyber broth from Ergo Proxy, some tasty boys from The Wallflower and a dash of chaos in the form of Hinamatsuri!
It might sound like an odd mix but hey – you never know what people will bring to a hotpot - looking at you Ken!
All this plus the latest anime news, a few anime recommendations from this season and plenty of ‘No Kenny’ moments to keep you warm (or cool!) this festive month!

This episode, special guests Terrance Drye aka The Drye Guy and Local cosplay creator Brendan aka the Aussie Obelix, join us to talk all things zoids, model kits and a whole load more unhinged laughter.
Buckle up for a messy one with all the trimmings – plus the latest anime news and watch recommendations!

This episode, we’re jumping into the mind of Fujimoto Tatsuki, creator of Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch, as we talk his latest animated outing – Look Back!
This 50-minute film is a beautiful semi-autobiographical tale of two young girls who bond over manga, showcasing the mangaka journey and the struggles it entails!
This film doesn’t pull its punches and showcases Fujimoto’s ability to write and draw complex characters and emotions with some incredibly unique scenes.
All this, plus a flood of anime news, manga recommendations - and a LOT of tangents for some reason!

This plus the latest anime news, our picks from the summer season and news on our upcoming schedule for the Halloween Special!

So instead – we’re sharing with you a short film Kyle found at a convention!
Cocolors is a short dystopian tale produced in 2017 and, while it’s not the most mind blowing of films, it is certainly a unique and interesting story some of you might be interested in checking out!

It’s been 15 years since one of the weirdest controversies (and programming choices) in anime history.
In mid-2009, the second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’s was under way when fans had a moment of Dejavu – it seemed like the same episode had aired for three weeks straight?
This was the start of the series’ infamous Endless Eight arch – a timeloop where 8 almost identical episodes were aired back to back, with only minor changes.
Why was this done? How did it impact the series reception? And does anyone actually like this? No.
This plus the latest anime news, podcast cats and a jab at Monogatari for good measure lol.

This episode, Kyle and Kenny dive deep into the history of Studio Gainax – a beloved anime studio with over 40 years of history which sadly declared bankruptcy in 2024.
Gainax was an anime studio established by fans and ultimately fell apart due to mismanagement and bad financial behaviour.
So what were the origins of this studio and how did this historic studio go from the global recognition to law suits and administration?
All this, plus the latest anime news, expired kitkat’s and Durian ice cream?

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Episode
This episode – Our Patreons have spoken and our White Day episode is a little spicy…
So as usually with any of our spicy eps – a disclaimer:
This episode’s topic is for mature audiences 18 years and over, or under parental supervision… though I’d recommend against the later cause I can’t imagine anything more awkward for this one!
We’re talking Shimoneta – A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist; an R-rated anime from 2015 that dives head first into the world of censorship and surveillance, through the idea of anything considered pervy or raunchy being outlawed!
Also, please excuse the issues we had with Tifa’s microphone on this one, we’re trialling some new hardware and it seems it acted up, and we only found it in post!

This episode, we’re a little late but it’s here!
After delaying and rearranging for a few months, we’re finally talking about a series that has a special place in all of the teams’ hearts – Cardcaptor Sakura!
This series aired in English shortly after Sailor Moon finished it’s run on kids morning TV, and introduced a new generation of viewers to the Magical Girl genre.
But while the series is pretty beloved, it did come with a few issues – some thematically, but mostly around the various dubs it received!
Join us as we explore this beloved series and why different viewers had vastly different experiences due to the dubbing culture of the early 2000’s.

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!
The Annual Kawaii-Fi Anime awards looks back at the past 12 months of anime we've consumed, giving each of the Kawaii-Fi Team the chance to talk about our favourite shows of the past 4 seasons!
While there are many deserving and amazing anime from 2023, we have each chosen our favourites to share with you – each serving as a recommendation for whichever team members tastes align more with your own.
This is by no means a definitive list – 2023 was an incredible year for anime – and it’s much more a chance to reflect on the shows that truly grabbed our attention or a place in our hearts and minds.
We’d love to hear your picks from the year, so don’t hesitate to sound off in the comments on socials or YouTube with your preferred picks for 2023!
There is no wrong answer, unless it was created by Studio GoHands :P

Digimon Adventures is back in the cinemas for another hit of nostalgia as 02’s Digi Destined confront a dark story set after the events of Last Evolution Kizuna.
While drenched in the history of Digimon, it also tells a very different story for the series, with less action and more introspection as the anime franchise approaches its 25th anniversary in 2024.
So was it good? And why is it getting a low fan rating on Rotten Tomatoes? (Hint: It’s not all cinema goers…)
All this, plus stories from the cinema, the latest anime news and some humble bragging about making it onto Dexerto’s best anime podcast list – see the link below!

It’s been in development for almost a decade and FINALLY Pluto has landed on Netflix!
Based on one of Astro Boy’s most iconic story arcs, The Greatest Robot on Earth, the story was rewritten in the 2000’s as a mystery series, giving the franchise a more mature approach to it’s storytelling and themes.
So should you watch it? Well let’s not beat around the bush – Yes. It’s excellent even if you’re not familiar with Astro Boy other than the name!
But there’s a LOT more buried in this series origin and it’s adaptation than you might realise, including links with several other highly acclaimed anime too!
All this, plus the latest anime news, plus Kyle trying to make you watch the weirdest show of the season!

Guess what - it's a Kawaii-Fi Extra this time around celebrating the phenomenal Millenium Actress film landing on RetroCrush!
If you've not seen this incredible movie, now is the perfect time to load it up and experience a journey through Japans golden age of cinema, with a journey through the eyes of two of it's stars rolled into one!
This is not a sponsored episode - and we can't legally watch RetroCrush in Australia - but we love their work in maintaining classic anime series for hopefully generations to come.

This time, Kyle and Kenny take a look at the wonderful and Very Chill™ world that is the Yuru Camp aka Laid Back Camp Movie!
Will there be any drama or consequences? Probably not!
But that's why we love this slice of life camping franchise!

WE’RE BACK!
This episode, we dive into an under-appreciated Studio Ghibli film that started its production run as something incredibly different!
The Cat Returns may not be the first film to jump to mind when you think of big Ghibli productions, and it had an unusual start to its existence – as a spin off project commissioned after Whisper of the Heart was released!
So why the character overlap? Is this an interconnected Ghibli Universe? And why is this English dub so incredible???
Answers to all these questions, plus what we’ve been watching this season and a library worth of anime news for us to talk about in this episode!
Also, apologies for that unplanned hiatus – Kyle is feeling much better now and is back on deck!

The move is complete and our new home: Kawaii-Fi Studio 5 is up and running, but not quite ready for its close up yet!
Who else isn’t ready for a close up? Hollywood’s take on Saint Seiya – a beloved manga franchise which headed to the live-action big screen in early 2023!
If you didn’t get the memo on it, you’re not alone! Neither did the rest of the world and it was a box office flop. But is there anything salvageable from this cinema outing?
Plus the latest anime news, Barb-enhiemer, some fighting words and Kyle slowly descending into a retirement home – all in this episode!

The 2023 Summer Anime season is finally here and there's plenty to talk about as always - but we have a Big Old Asterix hanging over this episode!
We originally recorded a whole episode with Keiralee a week before this, and something went wrong with our recording of just Aaron's mic!
Without it, the episode made little sense so we opted to re-record with Aaron and Kyle and include Kieralee's comments that we scavenged from the previous version as she was not able to make it for the re-recording.
So please bear with Kyle and Aaron as they guide our way through this years picks from the team - along with the usual silliness and jabbering on that happens when these two are left without supervision!

In the final years of the 1990's, the world was introduced to two seemingly similar Japanese franchises - Pokemon and Digimon.
From the outside they seemed very similar - both featuring young protagonists using monsters for battle, but their origins and implementation were incredibly different!
25 years on from its humble digivice toy origin, Digimon has proved its staying power, with its anime franchises on air almost as much as Pokemon!
We’re diving into the origins of these Digital Mosnters, along with some really unusual factoids in this episode - plus all the latest anime news, bad life advice and for some reason - Bionicles?

This episode, we’re finally diving into one of the most hyped up animes of the past year – Chainsaw Man!
Love it or hate it, this series is an important part of the evolution of the Shounen manga scene, alongside Jujutsu Kaisen and Hell’s Paradise, introducing a darker tone to the genre.
So is it all it’s hyped up to be? And why are Tifa and Kyle calling season 1 “just a taste”?
This plus what we’ve been watching, the latest anime news and attempt to answer a big question – is KamiKatsu trolling us all?

The Pokemon animated series has been running since 1997 and with it we've seen the trials and challenges it's leading character Ash (Satoshi) and his faithful companion Pikachu.
But in 2023, the journey of Pokemon's leading character is finally coming to an end, with two new youngsters taking the reigns in the new series.
So this time, we're looking back on the legacy of the Pokemon anime - inclkuding some of the banned episodes!
All this, plus much more in this episode of Kawaii-Fi Radio!

It’s our first episode back after the massive weekend of Hoshicon Perth and only Kyle and Tifa appear to have survived!
We’re talking about Mokoto Shinkai’s incredible new film Suzume, which we feel lives up to the hype!
This along with some great shows from this anime season and some interesting news out of the Live Action One Piece at Netflix!
Please bear with us on this one – the post-convention exhaustion has not been cleared from our systems just yet!

This was streamed live on our YouTube channel on April 23rd – and the plan had been to get this online the day after… but it ended up running for THREE HOURS.
Join us as we dig through the current Top 100 MyAnimeList films and series – as of April 23rd!
Also, apologies for the delay in uploading – our 100th episode was the week before Hoshicon 2023 – which Kyle is the AV and Panel coordinator for!
With all his duties for the convention, he unfortunately did not have time to sit down and focus on the editing until today! 😊

In this mini episode before we hit the 'Big Hundo', Kyle and Emma take a look at the Live Action adaptation of The Promised Neverland!
Were the child actors any good? Should they have spent more on wigs? And how good is Naomi Watanabe as Krone? (Hint: Pretty darn good actually!)
Join us for this mini episode to offset the 2-and-a-bit hour epic that was the 2023 Spring Anime Preview!

We’re celebrating the life and works of the incredible Leiji Matsumoto, who passed away last month.
Matsumoto was famous for space operas such as Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999 and INTERSTELLA 5555, and was part of a cohort of very early mangaka’s who helped shape the industry we have today.

The Kaguya-Sama: Love is war film “The First Kiss that Never Ends” is out in international cinemas and we caught it at… 3:30 PM – because that was the only time our cinemas had it for some strange reason!
So is this continuation of the story worth the trip to the cinema? Or does it suffer from the same issues other recent film outings have faced (Spoiler – nope!)
All this, plus cocaine bear, generation talk, the latest news, and Physically Baek!
The big 100 is coming soon!

We're braking from tradition to start anew - and our 2022 wrap will be the first episode in the new year!
So to cap off what ended up being a chaotic year for the team, we sat down for a bit of a different episode - as Tifa and Aaron tried to explain to Kenny and Kyle what JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is all about!

Wait, another NARUTO anniversary? Didn't we just have one of those a few years ago?
Yes! But this is for the 20th anniversary of the anime and let's be honest - outside of Japan Naruto really gained traction and popularity once it started airing on TV!
So how does it stack up after 20 years? Do we still love it? Or are we now seeing it in a different light?
This, plus the latest anime news, what's currently airing and a silly amount of moon people jokes!
Episode Notes:
Towards the end of the episode, Tifa mentions a new shounen trio while we're talking about the Big Three and it's history.
She's checked and confirmed this is called the "The Dark Trio of Shounen" and refers to the mangas of Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.
These three manga have been grouped together due to their darker aesthetic, the death of core characters and a more cynical view of the world, along with being seen as an indication of the direction Shounen manga is heading.
Hope this helps to clarify what we were talking about!

Well the move got pushed back a little bit so, we grabbed out the microphones from storage and recorded a Kawaii-Fi Extra!
In the spotlight is the latest Dragonball feature film - Dragonball Super: Super Hero.
It's been given a lot of grief since it's first trailer came out looking VERY CGI orientated, but - much to our surprise - this film lives up to the franchises past and future.
Also - this is our 100th upload! Crazy!

It’s been 20 years since .Hack//Sign first aired on Japanese TV, eventually becoming a popular multi-platform franchise which laid the ground work for many successful future Animes!
From Sword Art Online to Log Horizon to Overlord – .Hack is an origin point for the popular “Trapped in an MMO” trope that we’ve seen repeatedly for the past decade.
So is it still good? Listen to find out, along with all the latest anime news, what we’ve been watching and a few cast updates for good measure!

On this uplifting and heart-warming episode of Kawaii-Fi, we watch a film we’ve been putting off for a while – I Want To Eat Your Pancreas.
This plus the return of the wonderful Kieralee, Vending Machines in Dungeons and “Sushi made by Westeners” on this episode!
NOTE:
This 2018 film brought up a lot of interesting conversations around trauma, mortality and psychology, causing us to dive into some areas we don’t normally tread.
Because of this, we thought it prudent to provide some details regarding one of the topics that came up – the “Myth of Stockholm Syndrome” and how it’s been used to discredit women.
The term was invented by psychiatrist and police negotiator Nils Bejerot in 1973 in Stockholm, after hostage Kristin Enmark criticised the actions of the police forces involved in the stand-off with bank robbers.
Bejerot essentially used the term to discredit Enmarks’ criticism of how the police handled the incident, and coined the term without ever having talked to her – a critical fallacy of the claimed diagnosis.
It also lead to Bejerot being employed by the FBI and other international groups working in hostage negotiation, leading the term becoming more wide spread, along with it being used as a defence in the trial of Patty Hearst in 1974.
Stockholm Syndrome has since become a term the world treats as a real condition despite it never having being classified as a disorder, along with having no criteria for diagnosing it.
Additionally, calling it a Syndrome is wrong, as a syndrome is defined as “a set of medical signs and symptoms which are correlated with each other and often associated with a particular disease or disorder”.
Its invention was a form of victim blaming to silence a woman’s criticism of men’s behaviour, and it tries to turn the choices the victim made to survive into a way to invalidate their views.
The trauma they experienced is real – whether in a hostage situation, an abusive relationship or a dangerous confrontation – and it takes a lot of courage and inner strength to survive these ordeals.
To claim these survivors are suffering from a disorder due to surviving, belittles the horrible events they have had to overcome and misunderstands the psychology of survival – if someones threatening your life, you are going to do everything you can to survive.
We’ve included some links in the episodes description showing how this idea is beginning to be challenged in recent years, starting in the 2010’s.
It’s worth a read to understand the terms dubious origins and how it’s repeatedly used to invalidate women’s criticisms of those in power.

It’s been 3 years since Promare hit cinemas in Japan, exciting fans the world over with it’s bombastic colours and heart filled story.
And as the film celebrates this milestone, along with breaking 1 million ticket sales, it’s returned to cinemas in Japan to celebrate – hopefully meaning an international rerun could be on the cards!
But a lot has happened over the past 3 years – both in the world and in the anime industry, so does this fire-fuelled film hold up well? (Spoiler: Yup)
It’s our first post-COVID episode (1/2 the team had it), and Promare is in the spotlight along with the usual WWW and the latest anime news!

It's time to get controversial and talk about an anime that's manga is banned in Australia - despite only being rated PG!
No Game No Life has been criticised for it's questionable themes and how it handles it's female cast, yet it's built a cult following that spans the gender spectrum!
So why is this series held in such high regard? And will we ever see a second season?
We also introduce the wonderful Tifa this episode!
Go check her out on Youtube (TheTKennedy), Instagram (@TheTKennedy) and Twitch!
Here's hoping we didn't scare her off!

We had to push back our recording sessions for this year’s awards due to restrictions from the pandemic!
But with that sorted, it's now time to award those that have stood out in a strange year of anime and shame those who truly failed to consider what they were creating.
Who will take home the Cabbage of Shame? And who will be the winner of the Golden Kawaii-Fu?
The answers to these questions - plus the best OP's and ED's of the year - will be revealed in this glitzy episode!

In this episode, we’re focusing on one of the most incredible writers in Japan – Okada Mari.
If you’re an avid anime watcher, you’ve likely come across her work in some shape or form over the years – from Anohana and Toradora to Maquia and A Whisker Away.
Okada has an incredible focus on the human connection in her work, and it’s part of the reason we love her series and movies so much!

Well, it's finally come to this - we've hit our 69th episode and after applying pressure for months, the team finally convinced Kyle that this was a good idea.
This time we talk about the lewd, rude and occasionally crude world of raunchy anime to celebrate our 69th episode! From zombie apocalypses to animes about trialling brothels... there's a lot to address.

This episode we talk about comedy anime – shows to make us laugh and that make us poke our friends to pay attention!
From classic gags to witty conversations – there are so many great shows and we’re going to touch on 4 that we love.
And as comedy can sometimes go awry - this episode comes with a mild parental guidance warning. These shows, while hilarious, do contain a bit of content that may be a bit much for our younger listeners.

Snow is apparently melting somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere as Spring gets underway - and that means there's some new anime knocking on our door!
We’ve picked 11 anime from the 2021 Spring Season that we think are worth checking out and we’ll be running you through them this episode!
Also – we look back at the 2021 Summer Season and talking about our favourite anime of the past 3 months…. and one big disappointment. If you’ve listened to our previous episodes this year, you probably won’t struggle to guess which show this is.
And one of our team has joined an idol group! Well, not really – April fools and all! If you’re up for a Goofy Laugh, check out the Video here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNGydzthSyQ/

Put on your scarf, fill up your Delorian and assemble your team – It’s time to go time travelling! This episode we’re taking a wander through time and looking at anime’s that deal with this tricky Sci-Fi trope!
There’s a great range of time travel animes - such as Orange, Sagrada Reset and Erased – but we’ve settled on a couple of films and a well-trodden Kyo-Ani series!
PLEASE NOTE: We had some issues with audio at the end of this episode, which you will hear as a bit of crackling. Don’t worry, it’s not your speakers or headphones, just our desk dying XD

It's time for another Kawaii-fi Extra and this time we're diving a little deeper into the film back catalogue!
Back in 2001 an anime film came out which felt almost like it had been plucked from the past and tweaked for a modern release.
Based on the great Osamu Tezuka’s original manga from 1949, and influenced by a 1920's German expressionist film, Metropolis is an eye popping classic you need to see!
You can buy it through Youtube and Google play on the following links:

This episode we take a look at another of Japan’s many animation studios!
This house of ideas is responsible for many of the past decades most popular shows - from Sword Art Online and Darling in the Franxx to Blue Exorcist and Fairy Tail.
A-1 Pictures has built a diverse and extensive back catalogue over its 15-year run. So where did their story begin? And why has the studio become controversial in the anime community?
We’ll be digging up some history and a looking at a few of its less popular works this episode!

This episode we’re talking anime focused on Otaku culture!
Whether it’s anime and manga, or Idols, cosplay, video games and even computers, the word Otaku has a broad catchment in Japan, but it has one core concept connecting these areas: It’s an obsession seen as having a negative impact of peoples social interactions.
But we’re all good, right?

This episode, with the reboot of Sorcerous Stabber Orphen now in full swing, we’re talking reboots!
In Hollywood culture we’re used to seeing reboots fairly regularly across all mediums – from big budget films to cartoons and TV shows.
Japan has a slightly different take when it comes to rebooting their shows, and it’s why we’ve only seen a handful of shows get the full reboot treatment recently.
