Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime!

Listen to Bonus Episode: Patreon Preview – Sailor Moon Episode 21

Andy is on his way out of town tomorrow, so instead of a new One Punch Man review, enjoy this episode from our vast Patreon bonus episode archive! In this episode, Bill and Andy talk through and review an episode of Sailor Moon, entitled “Protect the Children’s Dreams: Friendship Through Anime.” Also, since this episode is about an animation studio, do the right thing and donate to Kyoto Animation’s GoFundMe if you have the means! Enjoy this, and we’ll be back next week with a brand new One Punch Man review!

Welcome to Season 5 of our humble little podcast! Hello to all of our fans, new and old! This season we are tackling the insanely wacky and satirical One Punch Man. All three of your hosts–Andy, Bill, and Josh–tackle the very first episode of the series, “The Strongest Man.” Between all the explosions and elaborate backstories, we are introduced to Saitama, our show’s bored and overpowered protagonist. What do all three hosts think about the debut episode? Guess you’ll have to tune in and find out!

Today marks the end of Season 4 of Tooning Japanese! That means it’s time for a retrospective on Wolf’s Rain. Who would be better to join Andy and Bill in this than our very own Superfan Matt!

Next week we have an episode full of bloopers for you!

Listen to Season 4: Episode 23 – Full of Poison

Sorry, we forgot to post last week’s episode here! So here you go!

Andy may be exhausted from spending his whole day creating the new Tooning RPG episode (link below) and this episode, but if there are any night owls out there, check this one out! Andy and Bill (and again, briefly Josh) break down the very last episode of Wolf’s Rain, which is creatively titled “Wolf’s Rain.” Again, the OVA proves to be extremely dark and extremely confusing. That said, it’s really a unique and intriguing end to the series. To find out each of our thoughts, give it a listen!

Wait a minute…Thurk is here? AND Josh!? It’s a miracle…and a bit of a nightmare to edit. But that’s okay! This week the four of us talk about the second-to-last Wolf’s Rain episode, “High Tide, High Time.” Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse for the wolves…well, here we go!

I guess it’s just Bill and Andy this week again (though stay tuned for a short surprise at the tail end), and they have a brand new review of the overly bleak Wolf’s Rain OVA. This week they talk in depth about Episode 2, “Gunshot of Remorse.” The wolves deal with trying to find Paradise amidst a dying, desolate landscape. Will their pack survive all the way to the end? What sudden surprises will get in their way? Guess you better listen and find out!

We’re back to 2 again, but this time it’s Andy and Bill picking up where the season finale of Wolf’s Rain left off. Yeah, it’s OVA time, and we have 4 episodes to talk about as we wrap up Season 4. If you were expecting a happy ending, then you are not going to like where things go from here. Tune in this week for our discussion of Episode 1 of the Wolf’s Rain OVA, “Where the Soul Goes” as well as our Top 3 favorite raccoons!

Well, the best laid plans of wolves and men often go awry. Or was that mice? Or owls? Who really knows? People don’t read books these days. So due to massive flooding, Andy had to bail on this week’s recording, so enjoy a Bill and Josh episode. They also had to abandon the studio due to water, so the audio isn’t as crisp as usual–sorry about that! Bill and Josh (and Andy due to some post-production magic!) talk about the finale of Wolf’s Rain. Things come to a…conclusion…sorta. Thank God for the OVA. Enjoy our deep dive into Episode 26 of Wolf’s Rain, “Moonlight Crucible.”

Holy new episode, Batman! We’re back, everyone! Well, two of us are. Andy and Bill have gotten into the studio to record a brand new review of Episode 25 of Wolf’s Rain, “False Memories.” When we last left our pack, they were all pretty well buggered, and things go from bad to even worse this time around. Want to know how bad things are or why we hate Hige so much? Listen to the latest episode of Tooning Japanese to find out!
