Anibros Podcast

Kicking it old school with another late 1980s OVA, we find out what happens when you supply officers of the law with combat vehicles. This podcast unpacks the important questions posed by Dominion Tank Police: can too many explosions be a bad thing? The beginning of Fate/stay night is also touched on before we get sidetracked into looking at some top 10 anime lists trying to prove whether or not popular opinion can be trusted. There’s no I in TANK! Our producer said we’re spending too much time reading your comments on the air but we’re not afraid of him. If you want to leave your thoughts on this episode we’ll make sure they’re kept safe in the mailbag until next time.   https://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast116-Dominion.mp3 Download MP3 Here

It’s been a hot minute but now we’re back to discuss Sakura-Con 2017! The Good Patrick joined us to celebrate Sakura-Con’s 20th year anniversary and what a wild ride it was. Despite the lack of an Anime Jeopardy panel, there was more than enough fun to be had at the oldest and largest anime convention in the northwest. Good Patrick surveys a brave new world. Please be sure to listen until the end to hear some incredible advertisements for the convention brought to you by Doctor Pat, who holds a PhD in anime marketing!   https://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast114-SakuraCon2017.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Face front, true believers! In this episode the Anibros work through some family matters in the smallest corner of anitwitter before bringing you an important news bulletin and lending a sympathetic ear in the first edition of our newly syndicated advice column. All this plus an update on what anime we’ve ingested since the last time we rapped, culminating in our review of Your Name. Relationship status: it’s complicated. In the interest of fairness, I will disclose here that this episode may contain plot details for Your Name that could be considered spoilers. But even if you haven’t seen the film, please listen to this episode because you still get almost an hour of content before we get into spoilers. And if you HAVE seen the film, you have no excuse: listening is mandatory.   https://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast113-YourName.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Do you want to learn Japanese? This is the episode you’ve been waiting for! Our guest this time is Jennifer, a Japanese to English translator and administrator of Japanese Talk Online.

Get this— if you knew Japanese, nothing could stop you from watching all the anime you wanted! Not even your real-life responsibilities!   https://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast112-JapaneseTalkOnline.mp3 Download MP3 Here

As red-blooded American males, we just can’t get enough romance stories. That’s why in this episode we decide to review the greatest love story ever told: Toradora!

We’re interrupting our hibernation to bring you a preview of all the new anime scheduled to premiere this season. It’s a new year, and that means a fresh new layer of anime has been dumped on top of the now frozen landscape of unwatched shows that we’ve been neglecting. It all sounds so good though! Well, maybe not all of it… Do you remember how many breads you have eaten in your life? Please send us a kotatsu if you have one to spare, we’re freezing to death over here with only the dim glow of our televisions to keep us warm!   https://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast110-Winter2017Preview.mp3 Download MP3 Here

It’s a new world order and the wolfpack is back! Patrick is running the show because he has watched every single anime that the video on demand service Netflix has available. To make things even more interesting, he makes us guess how well received each of them are based on the user reviews. Savor it! If I learned anything from Flatland, attempting to introduce 3D in a 2D world doesn’t end well. Our apologies for taking so long to post a new episode. We’re going to review every anime on Netflix and we’re only up to Dinosaur King, so rest assured we’ll be back with more as soon as possible!   http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast107-NetflixPart1.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Welcome to another episode of the Anibros Podcast, the last one before we hit the big 1-0-0. This time we catch up with our old pal Patrick AKA the P-Rizzler and he tells us all about how the Fall season has been so far. We review Brave Beats, Comet Lucifer, Dance with Devils, The Asterisk War, and Heavy Object. Will the anime industry finally have something new to offer? No, but we have fun anyway. I don’t know what they’re riding but I don’t think it can safely seat two.

We’re back in the saddle again! Momentarily escaping from the clutches of that Non-Anime Life, the Anibros have watched Bubblegum Crisis and recorded a podcast about their opinions on the series. Also included is the only wrap-up of Summer 2015 you’re going to get from us. Set your time machine for the year 2032, or is it 2033?
