On the eve of Canada's largest fan-run Anime convention, Nef tells JR about preparations for Anime North, as well as a very special guest that is scheduled to appear during the weekend. Topics also include reaction to the new Toonami Rewind block of old-skool anime titles, and JR's initial thoughts on the anime series "The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting." We also cover some topics that are sensitive in nature, including the news about a popular Japanese voice actor's affair with one of his much younger fans.

Welcome to the month of May! A good portion of this week's program is dedicated to details about Anime North, Canada's largest fan-run Anime convention, and Nef's involvement in the annual charity auction for Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Nef also opens items that JR and Bri offered for this year's auction, while JR opens his own items - the latest from his Japanese snack subscription boxes. And it can't be the XAR podcast without talking about hockey and another video streaming service hiking their monthly fees.

It's the Extreme Anime Radio Podcast before "The Big Game!"

There's also finally an overseas release date for the Spy x Family movie, Nef gives his thoughts on Freiren, and JR discovers a 7-year-old fantasy food anime whose manga series is ongoing. Chatroom discussion about Moster Rancher turns to chat about Dee Baker and the old Fox Kids television block from the 90s.

Another season - and another year - of the Extreme Anime Radio podcast comes to an end! We'd like to sincerely thank all of our supporters for joining us in 2023, and we look forward to sharing more great content with you in the new year!

Discussion also turns to manga and, of course, sports - with a question raised about good sportsmanship in Canada's national pastime.
