Fandom Post Radio @fandompostradio.bsky.social · 5d

Episode 160

A huge season has wrapped up. #fragrantflower is just starting for us, but there's plenty to say about the fascinatingly experimental #TOBEHEROX, the always degenerate #grandblue, and many more. Plus, we check in on some of the records #DemonSlayer has been breaking.

Episode 159

Fandom Post Radio Episode 156: To Be Hero X Gon' Give It To Ya

Fandom Post Radio @fandompostradio.bsky.social · Jul 20

Episode 157

Somehow, #AnimeExpo returned. Is it Hideaki Anno's fault? It doesn't have "Shin" in the title, so probably not. What do these topics have to do with each other? Probably nothing. It's just a big old news episode complemented by plenty of AX anecdotes and hot takes.

Fandom Post Radio @fandompostradio.bsky.social · Jun 16

Episode 156

A relatively light spring season is quickly approaching its end, but it still has an interesting variety that spans the watchlists of our four hosts. Plus, #TheApothecaryDiaries weaves together its seemingly disparate plot threads to build toward a satisfying climax!

Episode 154

A new #Gundam series by veterans of #Evangelion? A new original from the director of #CowboyBebop? A striking new series technically related to forgotten garbage? A new adaptation of a classic previously adapted by the founders of #studioghibli? Frogs? What a season.

In one week, we'll be going through our favorite #anime character designers, similar to what we did for composers a few months ago.

Highlight from the latest @fandompostradio.bsky.social : me: “I think the nearest imax to me is still the Jordan’s Furniture one” Cain: “furniture, what” kestrel: “we’ve had this discussion before!”

Episode 153

Our character designer episode is postponed (send top 5s) in favor of catching up on months of news (including big #frieren news) and wrapping up the winter season (including top hits like #SoloLeveling and #apothecarydiaries plus the conclusion of #DragonballDAIMA).

Episode 152

We're well into the Winter 2025 anime season, and it's a light season for most of us, but we have returning favorites like #SoloLeveling and #ApothecaryDiaries along with promising but worrying new series like #SAKAMOTODAYS, plus some #DragonBallDaima and a bit more.

Episode 151

With rollover masterpieces like #FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd mostly excluded, our lists of best NEW anime of 2024 lend great praise to the likes of #Dandadan and #Lookback as well as some hidden gems. And a guest appearance by #マケイン? It's more likely than you think.

Fandom Post Radio @fandompostradio.bsky.social · Jan 2

Happy New Year! As we do every year, we'll be kicking off 2025 by looking back (pun intended?) at the best of 2024, so if you have a top 5 list of anime from the past year, send them our way and we'll read through them, as well as aggregate them with our own into a final ranking.
