PODCAST

Anime Against the World

Know anything about anime? Because Will certainly didn"t, until his anime-loving, best bud moved his butt all the way from the UK to Japan! As a way to keep in touch, our hosts decided to set up a podcast! What"s the theme you ask? Well, originally it was all about teaching the novice Will all about anime, and there is a substantial back log of episodes focussed on just this for you to enjoy! This was also under the name Gateway to the Aniverse, so you may come across that title from time to time..

Spy x Family - If BOND and BOURNE started a family...

Anime Against the World ·

2022/09/27

It's spies! We talk BOND! We talk BOURNE! We talk HUNT! We talk MR AND MRS SMITH! This show got us so hype, and you can probably tell that given it takes us 13 minutes to get onto the actual show. From cute, mind reading children to bad ass assassins and world class spies, this show has a lot to unpack. It's beautiful, it's ridiculous, and it is nothing if not entertaining - but does it have what it takes to get into the Aniverse? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

One Piece (Ch. 1-25) - Will reads his First MANGA!

Anime Against the World ·

2022/09/20

Firstly, sorry for the audio quality! Sam accidentally used the built-in microphone again. We've tweaked it as much as we are capable of so hopefully it's not too jarring! Secondly, this is another change for the books! We're reviewing the first 25 chapters of the One Piece manga! As Will has just picked this up, we thought we would check in periodically to catch his thoughts and build in some interesting discussion around this huge piece of Weeb culture! Enjoy!

Beyblade (2001) - the original playground death battle

Anime Against the World ·

2022/09/15

It's Beyblade!!! If you're a 90's kid (is that the most buzzfeed thing ever?), then I don't need to explain. This show has a special place in 2000's primary schools across the UK and rewatching the first three episodes of the original series brings back memories galore for our two wannabe Weebs, Will and Sam. Let it Rip! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

YuYu Hakusho - When do we get to the BATTLE SHONEN!?

Anime Against the World ·

2022/08/09

This week we look at the nostalgia giving ghost punching hot blooded battle shonen that is Yu Yu Hakusho! Our boys, as usual, watch only the first three episodes and decide whether this is the kind of show you could give a noob to get them hooked on anime. From ghosts and spirits to gang street fights and romance, this show has a lot to offer a noob, and presents it in an easily digestible format... but does the sketchy etchy and drawn out narrative ruin this show?

Bubble 2022 - What Prince of Stride should have been!

Anime Against the World ·

2022/07/06

This week we watch this Wit Studio blockbuster that everyone's talking about - perhaps because it's being pushed by Warner Bros. and Netflix. This sci-fi, post-apocalyptic parkour battle movie has a bit of everything, a smidge of something and a whole lotta something else. It's weird, it's beautiful and its definitely got us talking!
