Episode 183: THE THIRD ANNUAL SUMMIES. Ok to be fair we didn't start calling it the Summies until Nick came up with the term recently BUT YES! It is the 3rd Review of the whole year we have done as Anime Summit. Have fun with this longer episode and let us know what your tops were for 2018!
Today on the news there is a lot of video game hype and movie hype. Tricia also gives us a weather report before I delve into Dragon Ball Super movies numbers in the U.S., Kemonomichi getting an anime, and Jump Force open beta weekend. This episode is dedicated to the bassist of the Ravecore J-Rock band: Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas...who passed away a few days ago. RIP Kei!
Episode 182: YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST DUO IS BACK #TeamNom. Nick and Som are minus a Dannie so we fool around with the Monkey Paw...A great anime? But at what cost? We then play some games in the second half on this light episode.
This week on the news we got a lot of movies to get hype for! New City Hunter movie, Made In Abyss, and new Gundam film Trilogy: Hathaway's Flash. Also talk about Resident Evil 1 shot demo, KH3 epilogue, Soldier 76 from Overwatch in the new Bastet story, and the Crunchy Roll Awards.
Episode 181: Finally after messing up the 1st Impressions and doing it 3 times and after having a few fun episodes we are back on that Anime grind and binge. We review the shows of Fall Season of 2018 and go over our favorites, Award show style! Welcome to the Anime Summies for Fall!
Happy New Year! This newscast Dannie joins Som to bring you news about upcoming goodies like Kingdom Hearts 3 Deluxe Edition and Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card goodies! We also talk about Pokemon and a potential Mewtwo movie remake, Nexon being sold, and details about the American live action adaptation of "Your Name". This newscast is also dedicated to the late "Mean" Gene Okerlund. RIP Brother!
Episode 180: Kwoka... The host who brought us all together is stepping down from the main podcast we produce. Although he will still be making Extra content and AO content, we will miss him on the main show with his Professional White Guy opinions. This episode is us just messing around with him as he takes his leave. Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays! Bit of a slow news week because of the holidays but thats ok. Today we mention some upcoming anime, DB Super movies box office slam, Cosplay for your pets, and the passing of Toshiko Fujita; the voice actress of the iconic character Taichi Yagami from the Digimon series.
I dont EVEN know what to write for this description. This is just to tie you guys over while we take the week off. Kwoka farted and Nick ruins everything and Som hypotheticals people in their clavicles and Dannie doesnt like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Welcome to the 2nd newscast! I got a lot of cool feedback on the last one so here we go! Som gives her take on One Punch Man PV for season 2, some cool new merch coming out, Masako Nozawa wanting Goku to light the Olympic torch, SFV ads in the game, and Hentai Haven shutting down.
Episode 177: Have you gone through your MyAnimeList lately? We did and we found some under appreciated hidden gems that we want to recommend to YALL. Going by some guidelines, we try to find anime that we consider hidden gems in a overflowing sea of anime. Did we forget mention one that you consider to be a hidden gem? Let us know!
Episode 175: Remember that one time when Dannie guested on our podcast and reviewed Netflix's Castlevania with us? Well now we GOTTA do a review for the second season obviously. Som reveals her power level of fandom of Castlevania which we find out isn't as high as we thought but still 10x higher then Nick's power level because he thinks Castlevania is Metroid and only heard the song "Bloody Tears" like JUST now. Thanks again to Kai for joining us!
Episode 170: We are in the middle of Spooptober which means were gonna pull out (LOL) the erotic horror anime Legend of the Overfiend and review it. I am not sure whats more scary though...the demons raping literally everyone or the fact that this exists. Honestly there is something to be said about the unsettling nature of these Adult stories though. Think of it as a Violentsploitation B movie or something...You know what I don't know it was just REALLY weird and gross.
From the remnants of Studio Ghibli comes Studio Ponoc and their first feature film, "Mary and the Witch's Flower". We all watched the film and give our reviews on the film and delve just a bit if it was a good launch for the new studio that was born from previous Ghibli employees.
HOST SWAP! We gotta make sure Dannie gets to swap a show with everyone. Last time she swapped Princess Jellyfish with Nick's Baccano! This time around she traded Paradise Kiss for Kwoka's Cromartie High School! Honestly both of these shows were pretty cool and we recommend that you give them a watch!
We take a look at Key Visuals and the cover arts on MyAnimeList and talk about how we often judge them by their covers to pick what we want to watch. How do you pick what you want to watch besides the PV? Then we also use MAL to play a game at the end!
SUMMER SEASON 2018! Its way too fucking hot outside so we are staying inside to watch Summer Season Anime...ALL FOR YOU. We go through most of the shows and let you know what we like, dont like, and what we just plain didn't understand.
IT'S SEASON FOUR BITCHES!! For our premiere we talk about Anime Expo 2018 and talk about where we were 3 years ago at the birth of Anime Summit...Of course the only way to do that properly is having our guest be... But in all seriousness; THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We are going to keep going until we no longer can. Your support has been amazing. HERES TO ANOTHER YEAR AND ANOTHER SEASON OF ANIME SUMMIT! #SexySummitSquad
Here is a fun episode while Nick recovers from AX 2018 and Kwoka gets back in the swing of things. We ask Kwoka about Korea and answer listener questions too. We are happy he's back but at the same time praying that we don't get any more Kimi No Na Wa Updates. Welcome back ya ass <3
WHAT A SEASON! Megaloboxing, Klaxosaurs, and psycho kinetic power wielding girls. This season was TRULY fun and had a nice handful of decent shows in it; of course along with a handful of "meh" shows but nothing truly that terrible! Unless you hated Darling in the FranXX which you probably did. What were your favorite shows this season?
If you were given a HUGE mountain and you were told to carve FOUR things that represent FOUR shows that are monumental to Anime Entertainment, what would you carve? At first Som said Nadesico then everyone took a shot so we were like "Nah." Join the Summit crew and try to figure out what would be the Mount Rushmore of Anime. What Anime shows/franchises do you think were monumental to the industry and Anime as we know it?
We know its just by popularity...but yall still WRONG! In all seriousness we check out the Top 100 TV anime series on MyAnimeList and try and see if we feel the same way. We break it down and tell you why your favorite shows suck. If you disagree? Well thats just like.. your opinion, man.
Its time to talk about what is known to be a cult classic and even a timeless anime: FLCL aka Fooly Cooly/Furi Kuri...What does Fooly Cooly mean to anime, what does it mean to us, and actually what does the term itself FOOLY COOLY mean? Listen and find out with Nick, Som, and Dannie!
Nick, Som, and Dannie go back in time on the Nostalgia Hype train and reminisce about the time when the afternoon Toonami Block played on Cartoon Network. We then try to tackle the idea of coming up with our own Toonami block to pitch it to the Execs upstairs! What would you put on Toonami if they brought the afternoon block back today?
Here we go again with one of our favorite guests! Tony AKA Black Critic Guy! Hes back to join us and talk about anime and unpopular opinions we have in the anime world! And at the end a bonus where the 4 of us play a game. Have fun!
How is your Spring going? Ours is a bit overwhelming! So many shows...But for our mid impressions we fuck around and talk shit once again and let you guys know what we dropped and picked up so far this season.
HOST SWAP! Havent done one of these in awhile! This time Nick and Dannie trade shows: Nick hands Dannie Baccano! and Dannie gives him Princess Jellyfish. Give MANLY MAN Nick some girly gender bending shit every once in awhile nomsayin?
CUE THE MUSIC! A good soundtrack will power the visual entertainment we are enjoying. In this case its Anime! Here are some of our favs because we thought it powered the anime perfectly..or it was just because we liked the music!
Today we have a cosplay spotlight! In are first ep covering Cosplay we talk with Discord member Heather! She loves cosplay and loves making costumes..She tells us why she loves anime and loves to go to conventions in costume! Let us know if you like these! Should we have more cosplayers on?
Spring is here! We are a couple of weeks late on this one but here we have our first Impressions of what we believe to be so far a pretty awesome Season for Anime. This ones a long one as we go over all of the awesome sequels, the reboots, and cat face johnsons.
