It's long been an in-joke in the anime community that it's difficult to find the right jumping on place with the Fate series.

But we've got great news for you - Aaron is here to clear up the confusion around TypeMoon's most successful franchise, amd we've even got a watch order for you too!

So strap in and get ready for a knowledge drop - and we promise: it's NOT as confusing as it seems!

We’re doing a little something different this time as the episode lands on Mothers day here in Australia!

There’s a lot of amazing anime mums to talk about – both in recent series and classic.

But instead, we’re going to rely on a list for the internet and repeatedly ask why!

If you want to read along at home, here is the list in question: https://animecorner.me/30-best-anime-moms-youll-always-love/

It’s time for another classic shonen series that spawned a massive merchandise franchise to get our focus! And this time it’s Beyblades!

So with Kyle’s understanding of Beyblades being “shiny-disk-spin-and-go-brrrrrr”, we thought it best to bring in some subject matter experts – meaning both Terry and Brendan join Kyle and Aaron!

Be prepared for bad jokes, dad puns and a surprisingly awkward news segment thanks to Netflix.

Plus all our usual segments including an interesting back catalogue pick!

This episode is all about bread. Seriously, that’s the show!

We have bread, we talk about bread, discuss baking bread and there’s even a bread anime!

Yakitate!! Japan is a time capsule of early 2000’s anime, from a time when animation cels were still in use, the seasonal format was only just beginning, and shonen anime would air until their team had to create filler!

So how well does this award-winning franchise hold up after 20 years?

Plus we talk the latest anime from this seasons and dive into a heavy fortnight of Anime News!

Lord of the Rings has conquered many forms of media, from books to film, top comics and even audio dramas. But while attempts have been made, the animated medium has had middling success.

So how would a LoTR anime fair? We’ve had our first taste with The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim – which is now available to stream on HBO Max.

So has this outing faired any better? And should you seek it out?

It’s February, and that can mean only one thing! It’s time for our annual Valentine’s Day episode!

This episode is not one for the kids (yes, I can see you reading this boy) and neither is the show we’re discussing, so if you’re one of our younger listeners we’d advise skipping this one.

The show in question is the 2003 ecchi martial arts series Ikki Tousen.

This franchise is now old enough to drink, and good thing too because it has some pretty heavy adult themes through it!

This series is a time capsule - of a time where the line between anime and “chicken formal wear” was very clearly defined. But compared to more recent ecchi shows, Ikki Tousen seems out of place.

So is it worth revisiting?
