Ancient Anime

KRF is going solo this week to talk about his favorite anime franchise of all time - Slayers. Tag along as he completely derails every train of thought, dives way too deep into the lore of how every character is connected, and make a direct reference to Designing Women. This episode has it all!

KRF is back at it, this time bringing along Vtuber and long-time video game enthusiast Komi! This week they dive into the 90s Sonic OVA, a 50(ish) minute romp through pre-2000s glowup sonic. The two of them take on hard hitting questions like why are there cat girls in the sonic universe? Why is there so much exposition? And most importantly -- Who's idea was it to give Knuckles a cowboy hat (because we want to praise you). Come be just as confused as they are this week on Ancient Anime! 

Another week, another ancient anime... or is it? The gang goofed this week and chose something post 2000, but that shouldn't matter too much because it is the Ghibli masterpiece The Cat Returns. Join KRF and Nuri as they shoehorn in topics of Ferngully, how gay men and gay women can unite under one front, and just how little our hosts know about actual cats.

Nuri is back as our semi-permanent co-host just in time to go back to 1970 and waste days with plot points we will never follow up on. Neither she nor KRF really can put their finger on what makes this movie so... unique. Is it the confusing set up, the glaring plot holes, or is it that this may be the most phoned in time travel movie of all time? Listen to find out. Except maybe they don't know either. 

Joined again by friend of the show Ramses, KRF takes a look at Hayao Miyazaki's first venture into full length film featuring the world's most charismatic thief. Through discussions of disguises, misdirections, and the idea of a death being scarier the less that is shown, these two fumble their way through the vaguely Italian land of Cagliostro and uncover all of it's secrets -- including those the main character forgot to tell them!

Nuri (@nurihyau) joins host KamenRiderFurry to talk about the gayest-not-gay movie from the 90s, Sailor Moon's first movie, Promise of the Rose. They talk about Mamoru/Darien's ex boyfriend, why Fiore looks so "familiar", and how exactly Sailor Moon got KRF banned from the internet. 

This week, friend of the show Ramses (From the Saint Seiya Cosmocast) joins KRF for a look at the mind blowing (literally) epic journey through a post apocalyptic world with literally zero context. It's Fist of the North Star The Movie this week on Ancient Anime, and chances are you'll be just as confused as they are. 

Host KamenRiderFurry tackles the extremely nostalgic fan-favorite film "Pokemon: The First Movie" and goes through scene by scene to find out if this movie holds up in 2022 or if the box office receipts were directly proportional to kids wanting all of the cards from watching it in theaters. (Spoiler alert: KRF got none of the cards somehow.)
