Season 8: Episode 5 – Sexual Punchlines

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes talk about Japanese anime!

Listen to Season 8: Episode 5 – Sexual Punchlines

We’re back with another wild episode of FLCL to discuss. In Episode 5, “Brittle Bullet,” things get a heck of a lot hornier, and there’s at least 200% more guns. And hands. It’s a weird episode. And that’s even by the standards of FLCL. Just one more episode to go in this season. Will we actually get some actual plot, or will this just be an experiment in frustration? Guess you’ll have to listen to this week’s episode to find out!

Season 8: Episode 2 – Tummy Faces

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes talk about Japanese anime!

Listen to Season 8: Episode 2 – Tummy Faces

Well, we have another episode of FLCL to talk about and go onto weird side tangents. If this show is good for anything thus far, it’s been their weird references to other things, such as Robot Detective K, which might be Andy’s new favorite thing. This episode involves arson and another head robot. So basically much of the same. Join us for our review of Episode 2, “Fire Starter.”
