Animezing Podcast

With Halloween right around the corner, it's a new first for Animezing Podcast, as Kellen and James present a commentary for the first episode of the Hellsing Ultimate OVA.

Kellen brings in a blast from the past as he reviews the first film in the Rebuild of Evangelion series: Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone.

Brennan's back to review The Girl Who Leapt Through Time with Kellen.

Kellen returns to Animezing Podcast fulltime with a brief, yet detailed rundown of the closure of ADV Films, and the new companies that have risen from the ashes. What does the whole situation mean for ADV's catalog, and why is SXION23 possibly the greatest insider joke ever? Listen to find out.

Kellen repeatedly forgets the name of his own show as Animezing Podcast raps up its Ai-Kon 2009 coverage. Kellen is joined by good friend and fellow Ai-Kon committee member James Trenchard to talk about their experiences before, during, and after the weekend of controlled chaos that we like to call Ai-Kon.

The Dragon Ball franchise is one that is near and dear to the hearts of both Kellen and Brennan, however neither expected much out of the US-produced Dragonball Evolution. Did the movie exceed the low expectations or was it just an overall disappointment?

Despite being under half an hour long, Kellen is able to cram in a lot of topics, including his thoughts on the second half of Ouran High School Host Club, the Girls High anime series, as well as the first episode of the brand new K-On anime. Also Kellen makes an important announcement about the future of the podcast.

It's two milestones in one! In this 25th episode / 1st anniversary super-spectacular, Kellen and Bren each list off 25 (give or take) of their favorite anime. How diverse are their tastes and what causes each other to walk out of the room? Also, Brennan rants about Twilight. Join the fun!

Kellen and Brennan both loved the Afro Samurai series because of its amazing visuals, great music, exceptional voice talents and a simple but incredibly effective story. One of those was missing from its movie sequel, Afro Samurai: Resurrection, and the guys have a lot to say about it.

It is the only anime to feature the voice talents of Samuel L. Jackson. It was the first anime series to be broadcast on Spike TV. And it was the highest-selling anime series of 2008. Kellen and Brennan review Afro Samurai.

Kellen claims that he would not be the otaku he is without this show, and Brennan was so bored that he couldn't get past the fifth episode. What prompted such differing opinions on the teen melodrama anime Rumbling Hearts? All is revealed inside.

Many attempts have been made to adapt the Street Fighter game series into movies and TV series, mostly with disastrous results. However, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie is often seen as one of the few bright spots in the long list of terrible movies. Kellen and Brennan recently watched the movie and discuss if this is because it's good on its own merits, or just not as bad as the rest.

After an extended break over the holiday season, Kellen is back for this 20th episode spectacular! Inside, a review of the rock anime BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, with a heavy sampling of music from the show. Also, Kellen debuts a new co-host. Click. Listen. Rock out!

In the spirit of the season, Kellen dedicates 2008's final episode of Animezing Podcast to Ken Akamatsu's two-episode OVA series My Santa.
