Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

2025/09/16

This episode, we were originally going to talk about the airing anime Turkey… but after watching several episodes… We uh… we didn’t really rate it lol.So instead, we’re looking at a fantastic film from the early 2000’s – Summer Wars!Back in a brighter time, where the dead internet theory wasn’t so prevalent, content slop didn’t exist and AI was only a glint in the worlds eye.All this plus what we’ve been watching (yes, Turkey is in there) and the latest anime news!VIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube:

KFR 146: Takopi's Original Sin is DARK

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

2025/08/20

You might think that Takopi’s Original Sin is a weird title for something that looks so cute and wholesome at first glance – but don’t be fooled.This episode, Kyle and Aaron shed some tears for a show that doesn’t pull its punches, as an octopus shaped alien tries to make one child happy – experiencing the abuse, trauma and fear the children are going through.This episode is NOT for our younger listeners, as it covers a lot of heavy themes including bullying, manipulation, self-harm and domestic

KFR 145: KPOP Demon Hunters?

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

2025/07/30

Is it anime? No. But is it animated and taking the world by storm? Very much so!Kpop Demon Hunters might not fit our usual range of topics on this podcast, but the film is a great example of how media that is firmly grounded in its culture can take the world by storm when it's handled right!It's a film produced by Sony's Spiderverse team (and all the baggage that comes with it), which has resulted in some typically anime style elements and art choices being used throughout the film!All this, plus

KFR 143: Black Lagoon - Get on their level Michael Bay!

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

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

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?

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

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!LINKS!Hoshicon 2025: https://www.hoshievents.com.au/hoshi-conKawaii-Fi YouTube:

KFR 140: The History of Beyblades

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

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

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

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

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

KFR 136X - Lord of the Rings as an Anime?

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast ·

2025/03/03

Lord of the Rings has conquered many forms of media, from books to film, top comics and even audio dramas. But while attempts have been made, the animated medium has had middling success.So how would a LoTR anime fair? We’ve had our first taste with The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim – which is now available to stream on HBO Max.So has this outing faired any better?

It’s February, and that can mean only one thing! It’s time for our annual Valentine’s Day episode!This episode is not one for the kids (yes, I can see you reading this boy) and neither is the show we’re discussing, so if you’re one of our younger listeners we’d advise skipping this one.The show in question is the 2003 ecchi martial arts series Ikki Tousen.This franchise is now old enough to drink, and good thing too because it has some pretty heavy adult themes through it!This series is a time
