The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

This week Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest are recording after 15 hours of travel. They're delirious, which is probably an understatement. The duo have been to a small anime convention in Finland, which turned out to be their favourite ever. There were about 3,000 attendees and half of them went to Joey and Aki's panel, which was also their favourite panel ever. The two explain why Finland's anime con is the best, and talk about anime sereis that are massive in Finland but not elsewhere...

Joey The Anime Man, AkiDearest and Gaijin Goomba discuss how they feel about anime's rapid rise in popularity. Aki thinks there was more creative freedom in the past; more gore and weirdness. Nowadays there's more censorship and a lack of demand for the gory, weird content. People love the cute girl, bright animation and simple slice-of-life storyline in 12 episodes because of patience (or lack of). In saying that, some gems have come out recently...

This week Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest are joined by special guest, Gaijin Goombah; another famous anime YouTuber. They discuss their favourite (and least favourite) Ghibli and Miyazaki films. From Spirited Away, to Nausicaä, When Marnie Was There, Castle in the Sky and so many more, the trio want to know if you agree, disagree or have some others to add?

Joey The Anime Man has a lot of fans online, and when he sees them in real life they can get a bit excited. Joey shares two funny, and slightly awkward, experiences he's had with fangirls at conventions. One happened while he was sitting next to AkiDearest, who was (secretly) his girlfriend at the time . What would you do if someone 'proposed' to you while sitting next to your partner - who they don't know is your partner? Joey's response was hilarious...

This week Joey The Anime Man and AkiDeareast talk all things Anime Expo. The duo are in LA, having an awesome time at the AX convention. They spill on who they've met, parties they've been to, and what it's like to go to the convention (as a guest, and as a 'normal person'). What's good about conventions, what's bad and what's the most popular cosplay costumes.

This week Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest are joined by special guest Soul (anime YouTuber: soulanimation), talking about upcoming anime; the good and the bad. There's an anime coming up this season called 'The Reflection' and it's been written by Stan Lee, and done by Studio Dean so the trio are super excited. For someone from the comic book industry to work on an anime, is huge. Seeing Stan Lee talk about anime is insane...
