In order to display our undying gratitude to all of our fans who are also mothers, we present to you this Mother's Day Special episode! And, not a moment too soon! This time, the Cousins talk about My Dress-Up Darling, and also discuss the ongoing spring season.   In all seriousness, this is a semi lost episode that I straight up forgot to edit and post. It was recorded on April 17, 2022. So, in your mind, just pretend that it's 5 months ago.   Let us know what your spring plans in the comments! Disclaimer: This was hastily edited. I promise we just recorded a new episode, so in the interest of not skipping episodes, please enjoy this chronologically correct entry. A new one will be on the way very soon.   This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

Happy New Year! Its 2022! Now that its February, I can finally post the episode that we recorded back in December. We discuss Kumoricon 2021, which took place in-person in the midst of a deadly pandemic. Was it amazing? Was it a mistake? Our Man on the Ground™ Kenny brings us his detailed report from the convention space in beautiful and sunny Portland, Oregon.

As per usual, there is no particular excuse that this episode is late other than 'I was busy' and 'I didn't get around to it.' But, as it happens, we finally watched the final Evangelion film Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time (シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版 , Shin Evangerion Gekijōban). Well, one of us is watching for the first time, and the other is watching for the first time subtitled. Will that make a difference? Tune in to find out! "What Have You Been Watching" starts at 6:13. Spoilers for Eva start at the 27:15 mark.   This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

In another exciting edition of "Third-of-life Crisis", the Cousins decide to stay a while on Memory Lane, aka Nostalgia Boulevard and talk about everybody's favorite orange ninja, Naruto. We also spend way too much time talking about the pandemic, so if you want to skip right into "What Have You Been Watching?", go directly to the 30-minute mark.   Kenny read all of the manga, while Laven watched all of the Anime*. *Not including filler episodes.   This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

Surprise! We actually weren't done talking about Gundam. In part 3 of our series, we discuss Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, and Mobile Suit Gundam UC (Unicorn). Hear me out: It's actually interesting so please listen. But, not before we quickly talk about the other shows we have been watching. During the aforementioned discussions, We found some kids on our lawn, and promptly yelled at them to get off. That's a joke about how we don't understand the youths.

Today the Cousins take an exclusive look at Evaneglion 3.0+1.0, aka Thrice Upon a Time, aka Shin Evangelion Gekijōban: ||, aka New Evangelion Theatrical Edition: || As you could have guessed, none other than our Senior East Asian Correspondent Laven was on site to experience the masterpiece as it unfolded within the unassuming Toho Cinema.       Its a bit of a long one, but we do our best not to spoil anything!   This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

This time on Anibros, the Cousins are back with more Universal Century Gundam! From the OG film trilogy to the Origin, we tackle everything that Kenny has watched up to this point. So, unfortunately, no Unicorn discussion this time.     This is the continuation of our previous discussion, so it is highly recommended that you listen to Part 1 first.   This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

It's happened. It's finally happened. Resident Feddy Apologist and War Crime Sympathizer Kenny has viewed a treasured historical document called Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, which catalogs the atrocities committed by the Earth in the name of keeping the peace. This has sparked a discussion about not only Zeta Gundam, but our relationship to Gundam as a whole. We recorded for over 4 hours, and covered many entries into the Gundam UC timeline, however this episode covers Zeta specifically. Part 2 will drop on Australia as soon as I find the time to edit it.   If you aren't a fan of Gundam, I think there is some worthwhile stuff in here, so I recommend you listen anyway. Maybe you'll be inspired to give it a try!       This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

Happy New Year! This is our first episode of 2021, and we hope to deliver a real banger. And its a real long one, so sorry about that. This year will be the year of changes. The first change is that Kenny is actually watching some quality anime, and shortening his back-log. But, don't be fooled into believing he is a good person, as he unapologetically implies that the Titans haven't gone far enough in Zeta Gundam. And because obviously Laven's previously stated feelings for Inuyasha were pure tsundere, he watches the entire thing in what feels like basically one sitting.   Be sure to visit his Geocities Sesshomaru Shrine, number one on the Anime Turnpike.   Also note that there are no other changes. Just the one.   This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

Here we are again for another exciting episode of Anibros: The AniCousins. This time, the cousins recap the recent DigiKumo (or, Digital Kumoricon) that happened a few weeks ago. As usual, the Anibros crew was there single-handedly saving the convention.     If you weren't there, you were, in fact, a square.   This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here

I wouldn't say this episode is timely, however it is a major accomplishment. It was recorded and posted in less than one week! Everything remains topical as of today. This time, we discover together just how much of a slacker Kenny really is. Its been several years, and he still doesn't know what a Re:Zero is. But don't worry, I took him to school.       Also, we preview some of the stuff that looks interesting for Fall 2020. Spoiler alert: It isn't much.     Double-also, we will be hosting Anime Jeopardy once again at DigiKumo, the digital version of Kumoricon happening this year, hosted exclusively on the World Wide Web! Expect the same amount of shenanigans as before. That will be held from November 6th through the 8th. Don't miss us! I'll be beaming in my presence straight from Japan via satellite teleconference.       This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku     Download MP3 Here
