  • This episode, we’re jumping into the mind of Fujimoto Tatsuki, creator of Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch, as we talk his latest animated outing – Look Back!

    This 50-minute film is a beautiful semi-autobiographical tale of two young girls who bond over manga, showcasing the mangaka journey and the struggles it entails!

    This film doesn’t pull its punches and showcases Fujimoto’s ability to write and draw complex characters and emotions with some incredibly unique scenes.

    All this, plus a flood of anime news, manga recommendations - and a LOT of tangents for some reason!

    More background on Look Back's origin here (spoilers):

  • This episode, we’re taking a brief break before we start talking Girls und Panzers to help us line up the team and let them recover from sickness and work!

    So instead – we’re sharing with you a short film Kyle found at a convention!

    Cocolors is a short dystopian tale produced in 2017 and, while it’s not the most mind blowing of films, it is certainly a unique and interesting story some of you might be interested in checking out!

  • It’s been 15 years since one of the weirdest controversies (and programming choices) in anime history.

    In mid-2009, the second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’s was under way when fans had a moment of Dejavu – it seemed like the same episode had aired for three weeks straight?

    This was the start of the series’ infamous Endless Eight arch – a timeloop where 8 almost identical episodes were aired back to back, with only minor changes.

    Why was this done? How did it impact the series reception? And does anyone actually like this? No.

    This plus the latest anime news, podcast cats and a jab at Monogatari for good measure lol.

  • This episode, Kyle and Kenny dive deep into the history of Studio Gainax – a beloved anime studio with over 40 years of history which sadly declared bankruptcy in 2024.

    Gainax was an anime studio established by fans and ultimately fell apart due to mismanagement and bad financial behaviour.

    So what were the origins of this studio and how did this historic studio go from the global recognition to law suits and administration?

    All this, plus the latest anime news, expired kitkat’s and Durian ice cream?

  • It's time for another mini episode as the team recovers from a busy weekend of weddings and events!

    So what's in our sights this time around? A 1987 cyberpunk feature that would mark the beginning of a synth-wave of tech sci-fi shows in the years to come.

    It's team went on to be involved and create some of the genre's most beloved anime experiences, including Ghost in the Shell and Akira.

    But is it worth checking out today?

  • Has it really been 10 years since Kill la Kill aired its final episode??? Not quite (there was an OVA!) but time really flies when you’ve got new anime to watch!

    Join us as we look back on an anime that defined a generation of cosplayers and helped make Studio Trigger the legend of the industry that it has become!

    Plus a few recommendations from the team and of course the latest anime news!

    EXTRA NOTE

    We didn't cover it this episode but Kill La Kill shares a LOT of it's aesthetics and style with an 80's J-Drama series called 'Sukeban Deka'.

    Game Rant have a great article on the overlap and similarities (including the shots used in the ending credits) which you can read here:: https://gamerant.com/the-80s-j-drama-that-inspired-kill-la-kill/

  • Kawaii-Fi Radio - Episode

    This episode – Our Patreons have spoken and our White Day episode is a little spicy…

    So as usually with any of our spicy eps – a disclaimer:

    This episode’s topic is for mature audiences 18 years and over, or under parental supervision… though I’d recommend against the later cause I can’t imagine anything more awkward for this one!

    We’re talking Shimoneta – A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist; an R-rated anime from 2015 that dives head first into the world of censorship and surveillance, through the idea of anything considered pervy or raunchy being outlawed!

    Also, please excuse the issues we had with Tifa’s microphone on this one, we’re trialling some new hardware and it seems it acted up, and we only found it in post!

  • This episode, we’re a little late but it’s here!

    After delaying and rearranging for a few months, we’re finally talking about a series that has a special place in all of the teams’ hearts – Cardcaptor Sakura!

    This series aired in English shortly after Sailor Moon finished it’s run on kids morning TV, and introduced a new generation of viewers to the Magical Girl genre.

    But while the series is pretty beloved, it did come with a few issues – some thematically, but mostly around the various dubs it received!

    Join us as we explore this beloved series and why different viewers had vastly different experiences due to the dubbing culture of the early 2000’s.

  • IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

     

    The Annual Kawaii-Fi Anime awards looks back at the past 12 months of anime we've consumed, giving each of the Kawaii-Fi Team the chance to talk about our favourite shows of the past 4 seasons!

     

    While there are many deserving and amazing anime from 2023, we have each chosen our favourites to share with you – each serving as a recommendation for whichever team members tastes align more with your own.

     

    This is by no means a definitive list – 2023 was an incredible year for anime – and it’s much more a chance to reflect on the shows that truly grabbed our attention or a place in our hearts and minds.

     

    We’d love to hear your picks from the year, so don’t hesitate to sound off in the comments on socials or YouTube with your preferred picks for 2023!

     

    There is no wrong answer, unless it was created by Studio GoHands :P
