February 11 2024: A Fortuitous Super Sunday Morning

Anime Roundtable

We are able to return two weeks after the last time we taped (and less than a week after said episode was posted). Too bad Mike was still half asleep through it

00:05:15 - Changes abound at Anime Toronto. We try to make sense of that and what it means for the anime convention scene in Toronto

00:28:00 - Sony is finally winding down the Funimation streaming service. Of course there’s going to be an issue there. So the Sony bashing continues as we talk more about the kicking and screaming move from physical media to digital consumption of content

01:06:05 - The conflict between V-Tuber Selen Tatsuki and former agency Ninjisanji/ANYCOLOR has been the talk of that part of fandom, Kevin gives us a quick summary there and how it parallels the rest of the fandom

01:22:40 - And Japan Foundation Toronto and Humble Bundle have some stuff going on

This Week’s Drinking Game: Pour one out for Funimation. Then pour one more for the creator of the World of Narue who passed away this week

Mike Nicolas, James Austin, Kevin Ng, with “long time listener first time caller” Mohamed Sharmarke

Opening Theme: “FUBUKI - Snowstorm” performed by Pico Masaki
