We're BACK and it's time to get spooky!

Halloween is upon us and as we do every year, our Patreon members have helped us choose the topic of this episode - and it's Classic Yōkai!

Yōkai play a big role in Japanese supernatural stories and its concepts share similarities with the Shinto religion, including spirits inhabiting objects, locations and animals.

We've got a handful of fascinating Yōkai focused anime for you to check out this Halloween - from comedy to romance to, of course, thrillers and horror!

Plus - what we're watching this season and news on a big controversy that's hit Crunchyroll US!

KFR 131: Looking back with Look Back

1 Recommendations

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):
