Anime Roundtable episodes
- April 26 2022 - Working Out the Rust
We’re back with the first regular episode in more than a month (and a few weeks since the last time we chatted). And we talk just a little more about Kevin’s LA trip, ice cream there, vacations in general, and a COVID update
26:40 - Yes we had to talk Netflix and their recent downturn. But of course we tried to put some sort of Anime view on it
1:05:17 - So what have you been watching or reading lately? (PS: the phrase Mike was looking for was “Grasping at Straws”)
1:15:24 - The Bullets. GKids picking up Nadia Secret of Blue Water. Netflix giving a shot reviving the Japanese Iron Chef. Pop up Maid Cafes in the Toronto East End. Anime North relaxing attendance caps. And the Toronto Japanese Film Festival
This weeks Drinking Game: Take a shot whenever the word “nosedive” is said, and then one more for the state of the world
Mike Nicolas, Kevin Ng, Mohamed Sharmarke
Opening Theme: “FUBUKI - Snowstorm” performed by Pico Maski
1 hr 39 min - Space Heater Chat - April 4 2022: Kevin’s Awesome LA Adventure…with his sister
Mike talks with Kevin a few days removed from his Los Angeles vacation. With some thoughts on KPOP and spots that would be of interest to Asian pop culture junkies, and of course relate it to Toronto and the pandemic
Mike Nicolas and Kevin Ng
Editor’s Note: This isn’t Kevin’s first one on one space heater chat. He did one on Halloween night too
1 hr 12 min - Space Heater Chat - March 27 2022: What Do You Get When the Snow Melts?
Mike and James again go off topic talking about early Spring in Toronto (which is very much like winter), and some sports. Then we talk Discotek’s twitch stream of announcements, Sentai titles leaving the Crunchyroll streaming service (and staying on their own HiDive service), how Sony actually looks at their Crunchyroll brand and ad supporting. Then we end coming home with some Anime North observations and some house cleaning here
1 hr 30 min - March 12 2022 - I’m Batman!!
Mohamed and Geoff return to the table this week after successful Batmen pursuits. So we’ll get their takes and follow up on the CR and AN stories before getting everyone elses takes on Disney+ expanding into more Japanese programming, Megumi Ogata and gender in the seiyuu industry, and Makoto Shinkai’s earlier works finding a new home. We’ll end by looking back on a bunch of things as well
Mike Nicolas, James Austin, Kevin Ng, Mohamed Sharmarke, Geoff Greig

1 hr 21 min - Space Heater Chat - March 2 2022: You Saw It Coming Right Down Dixon Rd

54 min - February 20 2022 - Who’s the Good Boy?
After spending almost 40 minutes talking about the long weekend in various parts of Canada, COVID, Winter Olympics, and somehow connecting all of those dots to anime, manga, and graphic novels (trust us, it worked out better than you thought), we talked about a Japan Society online presentation on the topic, and Nintendo doing its best Sony impression when it comes to their older online game stores
And don’t forget the Anime Community Calendar at the end

2 hr 6 min - February 5 2022 - Weekly Shows? Pffft
And here we thought we’d start doing weekly episodes…
On the first weekend of the Winter Olympics, and a week after Canada’s latest successful games in FIFA World Cup Qualifying (and the usual jokes about the organizations who run them), we react to the latest in the aftermath of the Microsoft Activision-Blizzard acquisition, the latest in the Totally Not Mark fair use story, and react to the other stuff that we’ve been playing and watching

1 hr 28 min - January 22 2022 - The Gang's All Here
Let’s be honest, Microsoft’s announced acquisition of Activision/Blizzard is the big story this week (it took almost an hour of the show). So we’ll talk about it, and try to tie it into the anime sphere. Around that though, we do also talk about Anime North being pushed into July, and take a crack at Project Anime’s 2022 predictions (since we did them last year too)

1 hr 49 min - January 15 2022 - It's an Episode Full of Nothing
It’s a very Seinfeld-ish episode. Or at least one that wasn’t prepared. Geoff adds his two cents on the NFT and Scott Pilgram talk from last week, Moh shakes his head on the Netflix price increase news. Then after we look at the latest Anime North news, Mike poses a question on one of the great male protagonists of the medium before finally looking ahead to next week…and a plot
