Key Frames

Episode 74 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. Come in, have a glass of barley tea, and sit with us next to the fan. It's another scorcher of a day, one in a series that never seems to end, but eventually this summer of pandemics, unemployment, and anime will be over and we'll all have to go back to school. In the meantime, enjoy the sounds of Andy practicing the recorder out on the porch. Once he's done, we'll find Ben and Duncan and get snacks from the corner store.

Episode 73 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. JoJomi stumbles backwards onto the pavement as Dioko advances on her. "You think you can defeat me, the immortal Dioko?" sneers the towering blonde vampire. "I am unstoppable!" "Maybe I can't on my own," JoJomi replies, "but you haven't seen the final form of my Stand, 'Hand to Mouth'!" Dioko tries to say something in return but suddenly, impossibly, JoJomi is behind her. As fists and sparks fly, a cry rings out above it all: "Ara ara ara ara!" Anyway, Ben, Andy, Duncan, and Jeff talk about OPs and EDs in this episode.

Episode 72 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. I genuinely thought that our discussion of KanColle hentai a few episodes ago or Andy's description of kaiju semen a few before that would be the nadir of this podcast, but here we are with an entire episode on waifus, best girls, and the various -dere types. I looked briefly into what kind of text formatting would convey my weariness here, to no avail, so I guess you'll just have to trust me when I say that I'm sorry... again. Anyway, after that, Ben talks more about Durarara!!, then Jeff and Duncan praise Deca-Dance, before Duncan leaves the room when Jeff brings up Japan Sinks 2020. Enjoy, as best you can!

Episode 71 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. Seasons are born, they grow old, and they die. We are here to watch them, because anime is in our DNA. It's like... ANA? ANAme. Is that anything? Probably not. Let's start over! Ben, Duncan, Jeff, and Jon look back at spring and forward to summer before talking about Re:Zero, the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 movie, and Lovely Complex!

Episode 70 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. After seventy episodes, we finally begin to find some flaws in the way that we tag what anime have been discussed. Ben, Jeff, and Jon talked about plenty of shows while talking about this episode's title in the first half! It's just that most of them didn't hit the forty five-second mark. Don't worry, though—after the break, there's plenty of conversation about Durarara!!, Ascendance of a Bookworm, and... uh, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Sorry about that.

Episode 69 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. We've revamped our format a little bit, to be able to bring you better content, and you know what comes with spring cleaning? That's right, we gotta air some of our dirty laundry. Come listen to Ben, Andy, Duncan, and Jeff show a remarkable absence of guilt over their so-called guilty pleasures, then there's talk about the second season of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Dorohedoro on Netflix, and The Eccentric Family 2!

Episode 68 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. Oh ho ho, it's magic, you know? Never believe it's not so! After talking about shows both new and old, Ben, Andy, Duncan, and Jeff get into a fairly far-ranging discussion of magical girls in anime. Is Princess Tutu a magical girl anime? Is Bubblegum Crisis a magical girl anime? Is Show by Rock!! a magical girl anime? Jeez, this is worse than the isekai episode we did...

Episode 67 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. With the arrival of new anime for spring 2020, you'll get to hear plenty of things you've never heard before. Just think, Duncan talking about a Ghost in the Shell anime! Or how about Ben gushing over an adaptation of a Koji Kumeta manga? If that's not to your taste, why not check out Jon watching an isekai with a very wacky premise? There's also Andy talking about a shounen battler, for those of exotic and discerning tastes. Truly, something for everyone in this episode!

Episode 66 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. Everyone's been rampaging through anime during self-isolation! Ben swallowed Battle Athletes Victory, Sailor Moon, and the first Urusei Yatsura movie whole! After whetting his appetite on Princess Connect! Re:Dive, Andy joins Duncan in savoring Kiki's Delivery Service. Jeff is also there, doing a Godzilla-like thing, I'm sure. Can you tell that the topic of discussion is kaiju? Stomp on over and give it a listen! Just... watch out for the game that Andy left lying around.

Episode 21 of Key Frames: Inbetweens, a mini-podcast about anime. There's a new anime on Netflix and everyone is talking about it! Join Andy, Duncan, Jeff, and Jon as they talk about the thematic and artistic value of Beastars and struggle not to mention Zootopia too much. How many times is too many? Four? Five? Listen and decide for yourself!
