    KFR 143: Black Lagoon - Get on their level Michael Bay!
    2025/07/07
    The Black Lagoon manga is returning to production after another long hiatus and we finally know a little more about what’s going on behind the scenes.Creator Hiroe Rei recently opened up to Comic Natalie on the struggles he’s had with his mental health over the past 15 years. That struggle resulted in the manga going on hiatus after hiatus.With the upcoming return likely being another limited run before a break, we decided it’s a great time to discuss the series and its background. And also ask the question: Is the outro sequence ripping off Twin Peaks???All this plus the latest anime news and our current watch list as the new anime season gets under way!Mental HealthIf you’re struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you’re not alone. It’s not easy to ask for help or admit we need it, but airing out our struggles can help make them lighter to carry.

    KFR 142: Crusher Joe - The Movie
    2025/06/11

    This episode, Kyle and Aaron look back into the 80’s at an often-overlooked franchise – Crusher Joe!


    Based on a series of sci-fi novels which began in the 70’s and a film produced by Sunrise in 1983, will this movie and accompanying OVA’s crush the competition? Or will it crush our hopes and dreams for 80’s anime goodness?


    Plus a hidden gem from this season and the latest anime news – straight to your eaaarrrssss.


    P.S. Apologies for the late release - details explained in the episode!

    KFR 141: Where to start with Fate/Stay Night!
    2025/05/26

    It's long been an in-joke in the anime community that it's difficult to find the right jumping on place with the Fate series.


    But we've got great news for you - Aaron is here to clear up the confusion around TypeMoon's most successful franchise, amd we've even got a watch order for you too!


    So strap in and get ready for a knowledge drop - and we promise: it's NOT as confusing as it seems!

    We’re doing a little something different this time as the episode lands on Mothers day here in Australia!


    There’s a lot of amazing anime mums to talk about – both in recent series and classic.


    But instead, we’re going to rely on a list for the internet and repeatedly ask why!


    If you want to read along at home, here is the list in question: https://animecorner.me/30-best-anime-moms-youll-always-love/

    KFR 140: The History of Beyblades
    2025/04/28

    It’s time for another classic shonen series that spawned a massive merchandise franchise to get our focus! And this time it’s Beyblades!


    So with Kyle’s understanding of Beyblades being “shiny-disk-spin-and-go-brrrrrr”, we thought it best to bring in some subject matter experts – meaning both Terry and Brendan join Kyle and Aaron!


    Be prepared for bad jokes, dad puns and a surprisingly awkward news segment thanks to Netflix.

    Plus all our usual segments including an interesting back catalogue pick!

  • KFR 139: Yakitate!! Japan - Bread the Anime?

    KFR 139: Yakitate!! Japan - Bread the Anime?
    2025/04/14

    This episode is all about bread. Seriously, that’s the show!

    We have bread, we talk about bread, discuss baking bread and there’s even a bread anime!

    Yakitate!! Japan is a time capsule of early 2000’s anime, from a time when animation cels were still in use, the seasonal format was only just beginning, and shonen anime would air until their team had to create filler!


    So how well does this award-winning franchise hold up after 20 years?


    Plus we talk the latest anime from this seasons and dive into a heavy fortnight of Anime News!
