Summary

Nobody is sure why Kyle watched all of Wotakoi. Even Kyle is perplexed. Sabikui Bisco, on the other hand, is awesome and Noel has confirmed this by watching all of it. JP wraps up the show with an update on the status of voice actors organizing Crunchyroll's dubbing operation. Surprise, a lot of misinformation is being spread in an attempt to weaken the union.

Summary

There wasn't a ton of news last week. I guess that's a good thing in this business. Netflix is making more bad decisions. Crunchyroll has a new CEO. Spy x Family is selling like hotcakes. Bleach is selling like less popular hotcakes in a modern context.

Summary

Broadcasting from the past, it's another podcast full of nonsense! Noel really wanted to talk about Kotaro Lives Alone and I JP managed to drag that out for most of the episode because he didn't watch anything. After that, JP talks about Inio Asano's Downfall.

Summary

Oh boy -- this was a slow news week. We pushed some of these stories to the limit. In a way, this episode is like the Naruto Filler of The News Broom. Spy x Family seems to be doing well. Unless you're that one person on TikTok that thinks it's creepy. Crunchyroll sure has a lot of dubs in production for a company pretending they don't have enough money to pay their contractors a fair wage. All that and more on this exciting episode of The News Broom.

Summary

In this very special episode, Evan Minto joins me to talk about his Anime News Network article, "The Battle for Union Dubs." We talk about why the dubbing industry needs to organize, how it got this bad, why we let it slide in the past, and much more.

Summary

Is Crunchyroll banning remote recording for their dubs? Not sure, but some actors think it will happen. One Piece is coming back after a six-week hiatus. Cygames wants to increase the length of your cat. Maybe. All that and more on this week's episode of The News Broom.

Summary

Noel and JP are in the same room again this week. What a novel idea! They spend the first half of this episode catching up on Ranking of Kings, but since JP is watching the dub -- and since this episode was recorded two weeks ago -- they only cover up to Episode 16. After that, JP talks about Gigant, a "new" manga from Hiroya Oku, the creator of Gantz.

By some bizarre coincidence, Episode 22 of NNAS was recorded on 3/22/22. That means this episode will bring you good luck. Probably.

This week we are joined by special guest Tom Aznable to talk about a bunch of Gundam news. AnimeNEXT has cancelled their event this year. Grappler Baki put out a teaser trailer.

Summary

People have been asking us to talk about Dick Fight Island for since the first volume came out. The wait is finally over. JP and Vinnie take a surprisingly analytical approach to what is probably the most explicit manga they'll ever read. Afterwards, JP does a quick rundown of Call Girl in Another World, a manga about jerking off demons to save the world.

It should go without say that this episode contains discussion of sexually explicit material. If that kind of talk makes you uncomfortable, I would advise skipping this episode.

Summary

Inio Asano is getting his anime debut! A ton of upcoming anime had release dates announced last week. Crunchyroll's Spring line-up is so long it took three of us to read it. Netflix announced a bunch of new anime and also a potential price hike for people that share their account. The biggest story is Crunchyroll discontinuing ad-supported streaming.
