The cart is before the horse. The cows have pulled a prodigal son on us. Pigs have flown. I am speaking, of course, of Sony's recent purchase of Crunchyroll, which effectively cements their monopoly on anime streaming in the United States (to say nothing of our wayward Canadian brothers). But the anime community continues to soldier on, and we here at AniTAY limit our conversation about Funiroll Crunchymation to one segment of this episode to make plenty of room for seasonal discussion, so fear ...

With another season of anime right on the horizon, your favorite authors and requiem are here to give our wild predictions. The catch? None of us have any idea what we are talking about (except for our source material-reader Raitzeno, of course). How many of our predictions will prove true? How many will prove idiotic?

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.

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 si...

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...

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 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 wh...
