KFR 127: Haruhi, Melancholy and Endless 8

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast

08/15/24 • 89 min

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.

KFR 125: The History of Gainax - Studio in Focus

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast

07/21/24 • 106 min

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?

KFR 111: Pluto - A gritty retelling of an Astro Boy epic!!!

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast

11/20/23 • 68 min

It’s been in development for almost a decade and FINALLY Pluto has landed on Netflix!

Based on one of Astro Boy’s most iconic story arcs, The Greatest Robot on Earth, the story was rewritten in the 2000’s as a mystery series, giving the franchise a more mature approach to it’s storytelling and themes.

So should you watch it? Well let’s not beat around the bush – Yes. It’s excellent even if you’re not familiar with Astro Boy other than the name!

But there’s a LOT more buried in this series origin and it’s adaptation than you might realise, including links with several other highly acclaimed anime too!

All this, plus the latest anime news, plus Kyle trying to make you watch the weirdest show of the season!

KFR 112: The Nostalgia of Digimon Adventure 02 - The Beginning

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast

12/04/23 • 77 min

Digimon Adventures is back in the cinemas for another hit of nostalgia as 02’s Digi Destined confront a dark story set after the events of Last Evolution Kizuna.

While drenched in the history of Digimon, it also tells a very different story for the series, with less action and more introspection as the anime franchise approaches its 25th anniversary in 2024.

So was it good? And why is it getting a low fan rating on Rotten Tomatoes? (Hint: It’s not all cinema goers...)

All this, plus stories from the cinema, the latest anime news and some humble bragging about making it onto Dexerto’s best anime podcast list – see the link below!
