Welcome to the episode so ironically lacking in depth that Tom's microphone tries to compensate for it. 

This week the boys discuss the Japanese reaction to Ghost of Tsushima, the threat of Typhoons around Japan, the decline of Japanese Bathhouses, and Spirited Away.

Care to take a dip?

Geeks & Gaijins Podcast - Officially endorsed by the movie director from the Disney movie Bolt. (No, not really).

Join Jon and Tom as they explore the wonderful world of Japanese nature; including canned air, suffocating humidity, deafening bugs, and a magic temple sticking out of a death mountain. 

Such Fun.

Say what you will about our titles, but at least our commitment to puns is consistent.

This week the boys talk about Ghost of Tsushima, Tik Tok, Voice Actors Stans, and School-Mandated Hair Cuts, amongst other, more innane things.

Ah, fruit puns, the highest form of comedy.

This week's G&G Podcast features a Master's Degree in Ninja Studies, a ban on screaming at theme parks, and Jon's reviews of the local Detective Conan Manga and Pear Museums in Tottori Prefecture.

Man, remember when we did things outside? I mean, I don't, but some of you guys must miss it, I guess.

"My vision is based on vision" - Jon Gaijin, 2020

Buckle in for a wild ride folks, because this episode, in the immortal words of IGN, "has a little something for everyone". Or, as our download statisitics would indicate, a little something for roughly 10 people. 

This week, we discuss the Japanese Self Defence Force cancelling an emoji, the reveal of Studio Ghibli's new CGI Movie, Malaysian Magic Cubes, and the reveal for Smash Bros. latest fighter!

Also we have a serious discussion about race, anime, and voice acting with regards to representation, descrimination, and Japanese culture. Hopefully, we're saying the right things whilst doing so.

Big News, Everyone! The Playstation 5 has finally been revealed to the public, including a healthy lineup of games big and small, old and new. It's time for the boys to engage their gamer modes and give their thoughts on all the games announced, as well as the console itself. How original. 

For those PC Gamers that aren't so console-inclined, we has good news for you, too! Persona 4 Golden has finally been ported to PC, and Jon cannot wait to play it. But first, we have to listen to him gush about it. Enjoy!

Our good friend Jardo is back this week, and brings with him a tantalising tale of toiletry terror. Learn all about Japanese.... toilet... culture.... Wait, what?

Yeah, I'm just as lost as you are folks.

Uh, so if that's not your thing for... perfectly understandable reasons, we also have Jon's taste-test supreme of Japan's Big Three Convenience Stores: 7/11, Family Mart, and Lawson. Who will come out on top as Emperor of the lunch deal? Tune in to find out.

For those looking to learn more about the anime industry, our final segment of the podcast is about anime studio Ufotable being charged with evading tax on its.... cafes?

Stay weird, Japan.
