The AniTAY Podcast prides ourselves in being your third or fourth choice for anime news and commentary. But little did we know, there was a traitor amongst us all along. He’s a man so despicable that even the filthy pirates at Manga Rock revile him. I am talking, of course, of AniTAY author and frequent stowaway on the podcast, Kinksy. To find out more, you’ll have to give this week’s episode a listen. We also talk about some new anime like Weathering with You and sprinkle in some geopolitical n...

This week’s AniTAY podcast starts off on a slightly different note with some video game discussion before quickly devolving into the aggressive mediocrity that is most anime (according to gugsy). But are there some diamonds in the rough, and is one of them Granbelm ? Only one way to find out! This episode’s members: hybridmink, Gugsy, Requiem, Dilkokoro Itinerary Intro: 0:00 - 0:35 Tales of Berseria: 0:36 - 6:52 Fire Emblem Three Houses : 6:53 - 12:56 Kentaro Miura: 12:57 - 17:40 We Never Learn ...

After the devastating loss of the previous episode, the AniTAY Podcast has managed to return despite longtime fans’ hopes that we would just end it and finally remove Requiem’s platform for offering his terrible anime selections to the unsuspecting masses. This episode, we warm up with some bad takes from Japanese anime fans (via Crunchyroll) and move on to some truly terrible takes from the AniTAY authors themselves. When will the madness end? This episode’s members: hybridmink, Kinksy, Requiem...

This episode’s members: hybridmink, Gugsy, Requiem, TheMamaLuigi Note: This episode was originally intended for posting earlier this week, but we decided to delay the release out of respect for the victims of the hor...

The snow is melting, flowers blooming...spring is in the air. And we all know what that means: more anime. Join the AniTAY crew as we investigate this forecasted April shower of anime. This spring, Japan has trimmed some of the fat and there are fewer shows than previous years. This helped us continue our streak of hour and a half long preview episodes, a feat seemingly impossible as recently as two years ago. And when I say us, I mean myself and the lovely lads Raitzeno, Requiem, TheMamaLuigi, ...

You may have seen/heard that the Crunchyroll Anime Awards aired last month. Quite a few of us over here on AniTAY tuned in together to listen. This is the resulting audio . This is not an official episode of the podcast (there was really no planning or organization involved whatsoever), but if you are looking for some goons to listen to and inevitably be disappointed by the award selections with, then look no further than this podcast. To follow along, watch the Crunchyroll Anime Awards video ( ...

The AniTAY podcast’s year-in-review episode is finally here ! Join us as we take an extra long look at the year of 2018 in anime! This podcast follows a similar structure to the 2017 one that was never published (may it rest in peace). Naturally, that means no one knows how we do this, so I’ll outline it: we go through the list of AniTAY’s favorite anime of 2018 and discuss our thoughts on all of the shows from the bottom of the list to the top!

Haven’t you heard? There’s a new season of anime that started this week! It’s really hard to look back and imagine what I thought an anime was going to be before I watched it . I always have expectations going in, but these are inevitably subverted in some way after actually watching. I imagine there are many shows that I predicted but was totally (embarrassingly, even) off the mark about. Fortunately, we here at AniTAY have a habit of recording our follies and preserving them for future generat...

Have you heard of the recently-theatrically-released Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms ?

What did we think of the upcoming season? How right/wrong were we? Will Gugsy ever get anyone to watch a show he recommends? Find out the answers to these and more in this month’s podcast....

This episode, we talked about the new *at the time* Winter 2017 season along with some of our winter break anime activities. Also: something weird was going on with one of the mics, no idea why.
