As the fall season begins and as we start taking our notes on the season at large, we have a good bit on the docket for this show - NYCC events, an update on the Cowboy Bebop rollout on Netflix, a sudden delay for... uh, an *interesting* show for the fall season, and a Kickstarter project well worth your time for checking out: DIRTY PAIR on Blu-ray with a new English dub for the classic 1985 TV series. And it's guaranteed to deliver a much stronger performance than Comcast does with their internet service. Here's to hoping we're back at full strength for next time.

Episode 114 – The Dirty Pair Return!

The fall season is upon us, and with it comes the end of one disappointing series and the disappointing reveal of a returning favorite, all to the dismay and bewilderment of the dais of this program. But it's not all doom and gloom, as there are plenty of details for some upcoming Netflix projects to discuss, be it good or bad or even cautiously optimistic, some upcoming theatrical rollouts planned for the end of the year and the start of next year, some choice home video offerings to close out the year with, and a Gintama movie dub cast that seems to be the best of both worlds for fans all around. Be ready for an eventful October for this program, there's plenty to come throughout the month with the fall season kicking off this weekend. And there's nowhere to go but up for Digimon now, because Tai has to go now. His planet needs him.

Episode 113 – The Dumbfounding Digi/Demon Disappointment.

After a few extra weeks of preparation for this momentous occasion, we are now ready to bid a long goodbye, farewell, and amen to the wild world of Evangelion with its final film, aptly titled Shin Evangelion (or that long clunky title if you prefer), the culmination of 26 years of just not going to therapy and instead making a landmark anime property instead. Whatever works, right? And we also have the first convention any of us have been to since... well, you know, along with a surprise early pickup for Funimation, even more surprises coming in October from Netflix, some continued frustration over the lack of a premiere date for Demon Slayer, and Inuyasha hitting Blu-ray in Japan... with a catch.

Episode 112 – The Long Goodbye to Evangelion

It probably says something about how slow a period it's been when the only big news to talk about is the Neon Genesis Evangelion Blu-ray release, as well as its now-sold out Ultimate Edition set. But there are still a few bigger topics to discuss, like the first preview of the live-action Cowboy Bebop series for Netflix, a set of projects coming in 2022, a pair of theatrical releases for the upcoming autumn, a rather notable Sentai @ Home event, and a notable coup for an upcoming fall title. There have been a few big news items that dropped after our recording, but we'll talk about those next time. Even we aren't capable of bending the realms of space and time to talk about a certain Science Saru project coming later in September, but next time we'll discuss it. CM Punk. CM Punk. CM Punk.

Episode 111 – You can(not) buy this Ultimate Edition.

Welp. It certainly was a busy week, last week. Everything seemed to happen within the span of seven days, from Evangelion hitting Amazon, Stone Ocean confirmed to be for Netflix in December, the Crunchyroll sale being closed and finalized, Discotek at Otakon, a LOT went down in a very small amount of time. And we’re here (and Sketch, too, he’s back) to run down all of the insane developments in the industry, the drops that have left us scratching our heads, and the surprises that have us rather giddy in anticipation for what’s to come. It’s an extra-packed show, so get comfortable and enjoy the wild ride. And just remember, all the world’s a stage. Usually a soundstage. cold open - the deal is finalized 8:32 - intro 10:44 - WELP.

Episode 110 – The Explosive Week of Everything!

As we arrive to the summer season in fashionably late style, the full seasonal crew are here to lay out the diamonds in the rough of a very meh season that seems to be as such before fall arrives for another overwhelming feast of quality content and programming. But despite being a very average season, there was still enough to talk about to make this a two-part episode. It always seems to happen in such a way. In this second part, the discussion of Funimation’s summer pickups continue before going to the strange pile that Crunchyroll has amassed - some good, some bad, a few headscratchers, a BAD case of polyamorous romcom-itis, and even the true best show of the season that everyone should watch because Jahy is all and all is Jahy. May her reign of dominance and minimum-wage survival be an inspiration to us all. And yes, we will be talking Crunchyroll next time. Along with Evangelion and Discotek and Fena: Pirate Princess and CRX and everything that happened this week because EVERYTHING happened this week. start-31:01 - Funimation (second half) (The Duke of Death and His Maid, Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan, Scarlet Nexus) 31:01-end - Crunchyroll (Dragon Maid, Girlfriend Girlfriend, Jahy, The aquatope on white sand) additional audio from: Jellystone!

Episode 109 – The Average Summer Heat! (Part 2)

As we arrive to the summer season in fashionably late style, the full seasonal crew are here to lay out the diamonds in the rough of a very meh season that seems to be as such before fall arrives for another overwhelming feast of quality content and programming. But despite being a very average season, there was still enough to talk about to make this a two-part episode. It always seems to happen in such a way. For this first part, there are the true diamonds from Funimation that should be on everyone’s radar, a cursory glance at the spring leftovers, and even some questionable topics brought up in a show or two. But before all of that, there is a roast to be had - once again, fashionably late, but such a roasting required some assistance. There is also a precursor to what we’ll be talking about next week. May Haruhi have mercy on us all. cold open/intro - it’s happening, folks 6:49 - the roast of Anime Tube and its colossal failure 31:36 - spring season leftovers (MHA S5, To Your Eternity, Iruma-kun S2) 50:38-1:04:01 - Netflix (Godzilla, BEASTARS) 1:04:01-1:16:54 - HiDive (Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory, Getter Robo Arc) 1:16:54-2:08:18 - Funimation (first half) (Sonny Boy, The Case Study of Vanitas, Kageki Shoujo) additional audio from: WWE Curb Your Enthusiasm Whose Line is it Anyway?

Episode 108 – The Average Summer Heat! (Part 1)

After four years, 100-plus episodes, some gags that have gone away, and plenty of hot-button discussions, we're still just getting started with this dog-and-pony show of ours. Welcome to season 9 of the mothership, where we have reconvened and walked into one heck of a confusing situation regarding Vinland Saga - there are TWO dubs for it. Weird, right? And that's just one discussion we have in store here, as we are also going to ask the most important question regarding Wonder Egg Priority and its polarizing finale (being WHAT THE F HAPPENED???), a look at two upcoming Toonami originals before their premieres, GKIDS acquiring another major holy grail license, and a brief chat about a certain Taco Bell commercial making the rounds. You know the one. Stay tuned for the next show, as well, as we'll be giving an overdue roast with a few more folks joining us, as well as taking our look at the summer anime season and all of the averageness that it will contain.

Enjoy roughly 15 minutes of audio diving into the “press release” from one Mr. George GameFace on his very obvious Kickstarter scam campaign – AnimeTube – and revel in the still-ongoing inanity of it all. There will be much more to come later in the month, consider this just a small prelude.

BONUS AUDIO: The AnimeTube PR Nightmare!

There just had to be one more show to cap off a pretty busy season of this show, and we’re deeming it to be overtime since the “lite” event in question really did make true on that name. Anime Expo Lite came and went, and along with the rather brief discussion on the virtual convention we have some more titles from Seven Seas coming very soon, a set of interesting movies headed down the pipeline, Amazon getting the last laugh with Evangelion, and just a little bit of possible blasphemy with some choice words from the overtime panel.Thanks for sticking around for season 8 of PodcastONA – stay tuned for the season 9 premiere later in the month, with happenings at Comic-Con @ Home to discuss and a really bad Kickstarter to roast. And we mean ROAST. intro – overtime and 2007 computers4:46 – “Shin Evangelion” (3.0+1.0) hitting Prime Video on August 1314:00 – the latest Seven Seas licensing thread39:48 – Platinum End trailer released, premiering in fall43:15 – what’s the deal with this Peach Boy Riverside show?48:42 – Anime Limited/Crunchyroll Movie Night coming stateside50:56 – upcoming film from the Expelled From Paradise staff52:08 – upcoming film from the A Place Further Than the Universe crew53:22 – Isekai Quartet getting a film55:28 – Perfect Blue steelbook available in September57:03-1:29:10 – Anime Expo Lite rundown57:03 – thoughts on their “lite” experience1:00:28 – Crunchyroll1:03:44 – J-Novel Club1:14:54 – Star Wars: Visions1:20:33 – Rightstuf1:23:29 – Demon Slayer S2 reconfirmed for 2021, more info to be announced July 131:25:10 – Taisho Otome Fairy Tale coming in fall for Funimation1:26:06 – Shikizakura coming in fall for Sentai1:27:23 – Stone Ocean info to be announced August 81:29:11 – Aniplex Online Fest announcements (SAO, SK8)1:39:28 – BONUS AUDIO: a certain Kickstarter scam Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3QSpotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TPiHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us:Alex – @AuraOfAzureDuelist – @HeartofSword75, youtube.com/DuelistGSketch – @Sketch1984, soundcloud.com/toonamifaithfulpodcastSam – @szuniverse, toonamisquad.com As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Episode 106 – The Lite Overtime Shift! (Season 8 Finale)

Welcome back to this double-length train ride of an episode, where we have brought some friends along for the ride to partake in a scenic route journey with several big stops along the way. In this second half, our good friend Megan joins us to have a lovely chat and discussion about a certain little film some of you may have heard of, DEMON SLAYER: MUGEN TRAIN. And we go in deep on this film, discussing the good and the bad and everything in between, because even blockbusters deserve due diligence. Yes, there are spoilers for the whole discussion.

Episode 105 – The Doublewide Train Trip: Flame Breathing! (Part 2)

Welcome aboard this double-episode train ride, where we have brought some friends along for the ride to partake in a scenic route journey with several big stops along the way. In this first of two episodes, a show that was quite literally TOO BIG to just be one, our good friend Sketch joins us as we take a look at the state of anime production in 2021 (hint: it’s not great), lament yet another film adaptation doomed for the pile of development hell, wonder when MAPPA will finally get some sleep when they’re not preparing the world for Chainsaw Man (and not a certain movie), and even discuss the merits of the reasons for an immediately-cancelled manga’s demise.Stick around for the second half of this double episode, where we finally sit down and discuss a little movie called MUGEN TRAIN. And most importantly, *WATCH ODDTAXI.* It’s GOOD. And it won’t let you down unlike a certain show that turned rotten. intro – WATCH ODDTAXI5:55 – let’s talk about anime production in 2021 (re: Record of Ragnarok and Crunchyroll)30:09 – Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles game releasing in October35:57 – Azuki manga service has launched38:06 – Crunchyroll has “less censored” Demon Lord Omega episodes39:21 – So I’m a Spider episode 24 was indefinitely delayed42:37 – Saga of Tanya the Evil S2 confirmed45:07 – Magia Record S2 premiering July 31, S3 end of 202147:32 – Fruits Basket finale thoughts50:16 – Fruits Basket will continue with a new project54:27 – Made in Abyss live-action film in early development58:31 – GKIDS acquires The Deer King film (Production I.G.)59:31 – Eleven Arts acquires the “final” final Gintama film1:05:01 – a fifth Strike the Blood OVA is confirmed for… someone1:05:34 – takt;op set for the fall season1:11:28 – Chainsaw Man gets its PV and crew1:19:43 – Mari Okada’s next film being helmed at MAPPA1:22:27 – where is Ice Adolescence?

Episode 104 – The Doublewide Train Trip: Revving Up! (Part 1)

Every now and then, we like to talk about video games, and there’s no better time to talk about video games than during the weekend-plus that was E3 2021, an event that we can definitely say did happen. And Nintendo was there to save the festivities from being a total bomb, as per usual. So please do enjoy the first half of this show, a good hour of video game talk and discussion and running down of upcoming projects and titles that will be released between the next few months to few years, if we’re all lucky. Then stick around for the anime portion of this *anime* podcast, talking some upcoming theatrical releases, an update on a big Toonami project that’s seeing a hefty delay, more of whatever the heck Netflix is doing, and a run-through of the festivities of the latest Discotek Day livestream announcements panel event – there was some screaming that happened when we watched it live. You can probably guess what for. And stay tuned for next time, where we *finally* talk about that one really big movie everyone’s already probably seen a few times over: MUGEN TRAIN.

Episode 103 – The DiscotE3k Doubleheader!

Summer is upon us and that means things are starting to heat up a bit, be it with the weather or with this show, as the first of three episodes in the month of June brings a long-winded rundown of upcoming titles from Yen Press and Seven Seas, some very interesting titles dropping online for your streaming platform of choice, a few interesting products from across the pond on the way, and a discussion about a creator taken far too soon in the creator of Berserk, Kentauro Miura. There may also be discussions of certain books that have some cringing subject matter.

Episode 102 – The Pride of Summertime!

NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the announcement of Berserk author Kentaro Miura’s passing. This will be discussed in the next episode. Well, it’s not like the explosion of the big blue Death Star wasn’t totally inevitable. It was, it is, and we’re pretty humdrum over its lasting ramifications, be it with projects being mishandled, jobs being lost, how Crunchyroll was the first to be sold off for parts, or a large combination of all three and then some. But at least Crunchyroll is making some big moves that came out of nowhere, and that’s leaving some of us much more excited than the rest, and we’ll be getting into all of that in this show, along with the usual Netflix shenanigans, some upcoming home video releases, a tale of leaks of different varieties, why the band ALI may not be around for a while, the latest in the Russian court case against anime titles, along with a brief look at the One Piece global popularity poll and why Carrot and Yamato deserve to be Straw Hats. Because they totally do. intro – what smells like burning?3:36 – AT&T spins off WarnerMedia into Discovery Communications15:47 – sidebar: “Critique That Leak!” and Mark Millar projects18:12 – Dragonball Super 2022 film leaked, then announced29:31 – Komi Can’t Communicate leaked, then announced35:43 – no, a Berserk Netflix project isn’t happening40:09 – Eden dub cast revealed52:35 – (SPECULATIVE) what’s with the Sailor Moon Eternal trailer?58:44 – sidebar: when shows are allowed to have some gay in them (EVA, SK8, Twittering Birds)1:01:42 – western CG Ultraman film in development for Netflix1:05:19 – Overlord season 4 and film announced1:06:43 – the latest from the Happy Science Organization cult1:12:15 – ALI drummer twice arrested and indicted, kicked out of band; music being wiped from platforms1:17:42 – Russia v. anime: the isekai round1:21:45 – Aniplex of America titles leaving Crunchyroll on May 281:24:10 – Sentai acquires Alice in Borderland OVA series1:25:13 – the Crunchyroll/Sentai deal got a LOT bigger (1:35:27 VOLUME WARNING)1:43:05 – Ghost in the Shell 4K steelbook coming July 12 (Funimation UK)1:45:23 – upcoming Nozomi releases (Gundam SEED, El-Hazard)1:46:53 – Viz/Funimation distributor update, JoJo Golden Wind rerelease coming July 121:50:48 – Funimation August home video slate2:00:55 – top 20 of the One Piece popularity poll additional audio from:Scott the Woz Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3QSpotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TPiHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us:Alex – @AuraOfAzureAndy – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalkJet – @Divinenega, animationinfinity.comDuelist – @HeartofSword75, youtube.com/DuelistG As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.
