Show notes

This week Joey and Aki are in the SBS PopAsia studio and they're talking about Manga and Anime creators who have passed away with incomplete work. The Manga artist for 'Wolf Children,' sadly, recently passed away. The duo talk about a list of creators who passed away with unfinished work like Satoshi Kon, the lead singer of Boom Boom Satellites, Osamu Tezuka and Usui Yoshihito. They talk a lot about Satoshi Kon and 'Dreaming Machine'. Do you think they should create an Anime from his Manga?

Death threats to the Death Note Director; it's disgusting Sep 26, 2017

Show notes

This week Joey and Aki talk about cyber bullying and why online trolling is 'disgusting'. They feel very strongly about this. The duo first talk about how bad the new Netflix Anime, Neo Yokio, is and then talk about how Death Note was also bad, which leads to the topic of cyber-bullying and trolling. Joey and Aki explain that after Netflix released the Death Note movie, its Director got such bad backlash online, including death threats, that he had to go off Twitter. Aki is exceptionally infuriated by this behaviour; she says this is what she hates about fandoms, the extremists who think content is more important than treating a person like a human being. She thinks death threats are much lower than any bad content he could've created. Joey is angry about it too, he says you can complain or criticise a person's work but you don't criticise that person, for being a person. Unfortunately their are people who think witch-hunting a Director online is necessary and Joey and Aki think it's disgusting. They're saying Neo Yokio is a bad Anime, but aren't saying any of the creators or voice actors involved are bad people. It's never ok, so just don't do it.

How do you get your parents in to Anime Sep 19, 2017

Show notes

This week Aki’s on her lonesome because Joey (and Aki) are getting ready to come to AUSTRALIA! Aki’s been getting her mum into Anime recently, she started by showing her Wolf Children, which her mum really liked because she could relate to it. Then she showed her Grave of the Fireflies, which her mum said she’d only recommend to someone interested in history and the impact of war. Aki might be ready to introduce her mum to some Ghibli movies now but wouldn’t show her anything too ‘full-blown’. A fan asks how they can get their parents into anime and Aki says, to start by showing them a movie, if they like it great, if not just accept it and hope they can support your love for it. Thoughts?

How romance is portrayed in Anime and Studio Ghibli exploring same sex relationships Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

This week Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest talk about how romance is portrayed in Anime; about when it's done well and when it fails, and their thoughts on romance in Death Note. The duo think the way same-sex relationships are portrayed in anime is done really well. Studio Ghibli are really good at using a romantic cliche and playing around with it, in a really clever way.

Death Note and the future of Live Action, or Anime in theatres Aug 30, 2017

Show notes

This week Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest talk about Netflix's Death Note Live-Action adaptation. They're yet to see it (because they're in Hawaii at the moment) but it's been interesting to see the comments and reviews online. A lot of people don't like it. There's been a lot of people saying that it's a good standalone film, but nothing like the original. Joey thinks that would make it a bad film because it claims to be an adaptation, which means it needs to have similarities to the original. Wanting to expand to a broader audience is good, but you can't have the only similarity being the title. The duo are really interested in what they'll think when they see it.

What it's like being part of the YouTuber community Aug 14, 2017

Show notes

This week Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest are joined by special guest, CrankGameplays YouTuber Ethan. The trio talk about what it's like being a YouTuber, and let us in on being part of the YouTube community. It's very competitive, you often assume people don't like you, but when you meet them in person that's usually not the case. YouTubers don't reveal their whole selves when they're on camera; you only see the parts they want to show you. Sometimes YouTubers will be quite different in person, to what you see on camera. They still want a personal life. Would you want to be successful online?

Are Winnie The Pooh and the Moomin anime connected? Aug 07, 2017

Show notes

This week AkiDearest has a conspiracy theory (that no one's allowed to steal)...She watched Moomin for the first time and says it reminds her of Winnie The Pooh. She's decided she has her own conspiracy theory that the two are connected... She liked the anime, and wishes she'd grown up with it as a kid. Joey The Anime Man really likes it too. The original series aired in 1969 - almost 50 years ago. Joey explains why he thinks it's still so popular today for kids and adults alike.
