Duck-Shaped Speedos for Tanks Now that we've got the good and bad of 2017 out of the way we have to resume normal service … for a given value of normal that is! This week we cast our eyes (which are admittedly in various states of working order), over the Winter 2018 season of anime and pick out the things that have caught our attention (i.e. were very shiny). Our featured anime are Girls Und Panzer: The Real Anzio Battle and Devilman Crybaby.

2017 is over, and what better way to mark the beginning of a new year in animation than a two-part look back at the previous year. With that in mind, we decided to do something a little bit therapeutic (for us), and get all of the bad stuff out of the way first - so get ready for the rants and the strange awards we're handing out!

Waifu or Otter? So Disney have bought the lion’s share of the Fox media empire, which means Star Wars and Marvel fans have something to be happy about over the Christmas holidays. Meanwhile, we discuss the impact this will have on the Disney Princess register. Hey! Pointless things can be important too! We’re just not sure how or why – questions which also apply to the rather conspicuous anime eyes on Alita in the trailer for James Cameron’s version of Battle Angel Alita (or Gunnm – we refuse to call it Alita: Battle Angel because it already has a perfectly good name in English). After that it’s time for some animated Christmas cheer so buckle up as we take a ride through some of the “seasonal” (and we use that term very loosely at times), cartoons, anime and puppetry that caught our attention for one reason or another. We want to thank all of our listeners for their continued support. We’ll be back in January of 2018 with more animated goodies for everyone, but until then have a wonderful Christmas a

Magic Mushroom Milk So we finally hit the big one hundred mark, and it’s been … emotional. Okay, so in actuality we forgot our birthday (blame it on old age), but we do have some interesting things to talk about this week. We start with the 45th Annie Award nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Animated Feature - Independent, and more importantly why they annoy us. After that it’s down to serious business with the epic-sounding Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle (Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut), Satoshi Kon’s captivatingly surreal animated feature film Paprika and the comedy series with the greatest background character in anime - Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto (Sakamoto Desu ga?).

Scrooge McDuck's Human Trafficking Operation Shocking revelations abound this week! First we discover that Batman is actually a ninja in the trailer for the cunningly titled animated film Batman Ninja. After that we’re left positively thunderstruck by Akira Toriyama’s claim that Saiyans need S-cells to become super. All together now … MIDICHLORIANS! It’s enough to send Mark searching for some quiet time on The Magic School Bus but instead he gets the mediocre "Rides Again" sequel. Then it’s off to Academy City for A Certain Magical Index The Movie: The Miracle of Endymion before Tucky regales us with some new and improved(?) DuckTales. After all of that it’s time for a relaxing dip in the sea with Masaaki Yuasa’s absolutely delightful Lu Over The Wall. #BatmanNinja #AkiraToriyama #DragonBall #TheMagicSchoolBus #TheMagicSchoolBusRidesAgain #Disney #DuckTales #ScroogeMcDuck #DonaldDuck #ACertainMagicalIndex #Movies #Films #TheMiracleOfEndymion #MasaakiYuasa #LuOverTheWall #Animation #Anime #Cartoons #

Gundam’s Glorious Jazz Hole The 26 animated feature films that have been shortlisted for an Oscar nomination have been announced so naturally, we're going to see what all the fuss is about … Before all of that though, our first order of business is visiting Mark who is currently wallowing in mech-hell after his addiction flared up again due to the extreme musical stylings of Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt. After that we're off to explore the forest in Goro Miyazaki's adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's children's novel Ronja: The Robber's Daughter (Sanzoku no Musume Ronja or Ronja Rövardotter) - which is also the first ever anime TV series produced by Studio Ghibli.

Peter Rabbit's Death Star Fundraiser The trailer for Sony's new Peter Rabbit movie is out so we decide to share our thoughts on it (which aren't very positive to be honest). Then it's time to get to business with season 20 of South Park and a Pokémon double-bill of Indigo League and the 20th movie in the franchise - I Choose You! After that it's time to get serious with the Sunao Katabuchi's stunning adaptation of Fumiyo Kouno's dramatic wartime slice-of-life manga In This Corner of the World.

Satoshi Kon's Anime Sausage The times, they are a-changing … 45 years after their original team-up, Batman once again joins forces with Scooby Doo and the rest of the Mystery Gang. Meanwhile, Sony complete their purchase of Funimation (a lot faster than we expected), and Anime Ltd. move into music distribution. Our featured anime movies are Satoshi Kon's psychological thriller Perfect Blue and Makoto Shinkai's supernatural drama Your Name.

Now With Added Mathservice It's a strange thing when a show about animation doesn't actually feature any actual cartoons or anime, but we do have some related and very interesting things instead. First up is Andrew Osmond's Ghost in the Shell - a book that covers the production, influences and legacy of the original animated movie that was released in 1995. After that the gloves come off and we get really nerdy with the Association of Japanese Animations' Anime Industry Report for 2016.

Farmer Goku's Fight Club This week we forego any preamble and dive straight in to our featured anime. With Girls und Panzer: Der Film, Mark proves that his addiction to anime beginning with the letter G looks set to continue. Meanwhile, Tucky gets suuuuuuuuuperrrr! with Dragon Ball Super season 1 Part 1 (Episodes 1 to 13), after which we explore the inner workings of a most epic night out in Masaaki Yuasa's The Night is Short, Walk On Girl. Also, who wouldn't want a Girls Und Panzer - Dominion: Tank Police crossover?

The Censored Brow We kick things off this week with our featured cartoon and anime (Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls, Netflix’s Bigmouth and Ushio and Tora), and those somehow lead us on to seasonal holidays and mockumentaries.

I’ll Have a Bahamut on Ice We kick off with our featured anime this week (Rage of Bahamut: Genesis and A Certain Scientific Railgun S), before things degenerate into an impromptu discussion about dubbing, redubbing, and rebooting.
