| All About Elusive Samurai | 15 Aug 2024 | 01:00:27 | |
The gang gets together to talk some recent anime news and all about Elusive Samurai! News: - My Hero Academia Manga Finale The My Hero Academia manga has officially concluded, marking the end of an era for fans. The anime, however, is currently reaching its peak in terms of storytelling and animation quality.Fan Reception: The ending has received mixed reviews from fans. While some praised the culmination of character arcs and storylines, others felt the resolution was unsatisfactory or rushed. - Japan Volleyball Team's Haikyuu Tribute Japan's national volleyball team secured a victory against Argentina, which became a major moment not just for sports but for anime fans as well.Haikyuu Connection: The team played the Haikyuu!! theme song during the event, highlighting the cultural impact of the anime on the sport in Japan. The Elusive Samurai by Yusei Matsui About the Anime: The Elusive Samurai is a manga series by Yusei Matsui, the creator of Assassination Classroom. It debuted in January 2021 and quickly garnered attention for its unique blend of historical fiction and adventure. Genre: Adventure, Historical Demographic: Shonen (targeted towards young male audiences but enjoyed by a wide range of viewers) Historical Setting: The anime is set in 1333, a period marked by significant political upheaval following the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate. The story unfolds during the transition between the Kamakura (1192-1333) and Muromachi (1336-1573) periods, specifically during the Kenmu Restoration—a brief and turbulent attempt to restore imperial rule in Japan. Plot Overview: The narrative follows Hojo Tokiyuki, a young noble who becomes a fugitive after his family is overthrown by Ashikaga Takauji, a powerful warlord. With the aid of a mysterious priest and a group of loyal followers, Tokiyuki must navigate the dangers of this era, relying on his exceptional ability to flee and hide rather than confront his enemies directly. Historical Context: The anime assumes some familiarity with Japanese history, particularly the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. This can be a challenge for Western viewers who might not have a background in this era of Japanese history. Unique Samurai Concept: Unlike traditional samurai who are often depicted as fierce warriors, Tokiyuki specializes in evasion and survival, raising questions about the nature of heroism and leadership in a samurai. Character Analysis: Tokiyuki's reluctance to engage in violence brings up an interesting debate—can a samurai who avoids direct combat still be an effective leader? How does this approach reflect or subvert traditional samurai values? ⭐S O C I A L S⭐ 📷 Instagram - @ouranimeshow 🎥 TikTok - @ouranimeshow | |||

| Kaiju No. 8 First Thoughts & News of the Week | 18 Apr 2024 | 01:06:12 | |
This week on Our Anime Show we are bringing you our first thoughts on the Kaiju No. 8 pilot episode out on Crunchyroll NOW! We discussed the character design, voice acting, music and much more going in depth to analyze the first episode and our predictions for what is to come. Kaiju No. 8 Synopsis:
"In a world plagued by threatening creatures known as Kaiju, Kafka Hibino aspired to enlist in the Japan Defense Force to defeat them. 'Let's wipe out the Kajju together.' Kafka pledged to his childhood friend, Mina Ashiro. Over time, life circumstances forced them to go their separate ways and caused him to abandon his lifelong ambition. He found himself employed by Monster Sweeper, Inc., a professional cleaning company that specializes in cleaning up the aftermath of Kaiju battles." "Meanwhile, Mina Ashiro is now the Captain of the Defense Force's 3rd Division. As it stands, he is currently unworthy of fighting Kaiju alongside her. At work, Kafka crosses paths with the highly motivated Reno Ichikawa. Reno's undying determination to join the Defense Force leaves no room for failure. His perseverance reawakens Kafka's ambition of standing next to Mina as they protect humanity from Kaiju together. A dream frozen by time, thawed by a burning promise." We also touched on some news stories from this week such as the virality of Mashle Season 2 opening "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" by Japanese hip-hop dup Creepy Nuts. There was an article put out by CBR with an exclusive interview with Toho Animation's CEO on how My Hero Academia paved the way for the anime we love today. the article mentions shoes such as Jujustu Kaisen, Frieren Beyond Journey's End and more.

| Who was Akira Toriyama? | 14 Mar 2024 | 00:46:26 | |
We were shocked and heartbroken over the passing of Akira Toriyama. This was not the episode we expected to be putting out this week but nonetheless, we dedicate this episode to his life and legacy. Covering his childhood, early mangaka career, all the way through to the rise of dragon ball, we share stories that put into perspective his impact on the Shounen genre and anime as a whole. Eiichiro Oda’s (One Piece Creator) Message: It still feels too sudden. I feel like a huge hole has pierced through my heart. The thought of never seeing you again fills me with sadness. I have admired you so much since I was a child. I vividly remember the day you called me by my name for the first time. I remember when you called me a friend for the first time. And I remember the last conversation we had.” “You took the helm in an era when reading manga was considered a foolish waste of time. You forged an era where both adults and children could read and enjoy this medium. You showed me that manga could achieve such a thing. You made me dream that I could reach the whole world. You were my superhero. “Your impact was not limited to just the manga industry. The childhood of millions of creators from various industries is rooted in the excitement of reading and watching ‘Dragon Ball.’ Your existence has been like a great tree whose branches extend to the sky. For the mangaka of our generation, the closer we got to your work, the more we realized its importance. Although it was terrifying, the person behind it all was very calm, and finding that out made me very happy. We ended up loving you for who you were and not just for what you did. “I would like to offer my deepest respect and gratitude for the vibrant creative world that Toriyama left behind, and pray from the bottom of my heart for him to rest in peace. I hope heaven is as delightful as you imagined it in your manga.” Masashi Kishimoto's (Naruto Creator) Message: “Frankly, I don’t know what to write or how to write about something so sudden. But I would like to express my thoughts and feelings towards Toriyama-sensei, something I wish he himself would have asked me someday. As I grew up with ‘Dr. Slump’ and ‘Dragon Ball’ in school, having his manga at hand was always natural and part of my life. Even when I had a bad experience, watching ‘Dragon Ball’ made me forget about it. It was a relief for me, a country boy who had nothing. Because ‘Dragon Ball’ couldn’t be more fun. “When I got to college, suddenly, ‘Dragon Ball’ ended and I felt an incredible sense of loss that I couldn’t replace. But at the same time, it offered me an opportunity to understand the greatness of the master who created it. And of course, I wanted to do something similar. I wanted to be like my master. I started following in his footsteps and aspired to become a mangaka, which made that feeling of loss disappear. Because making comics was fun. I found a new fun following you. You were always my guide. I admired you. I’m sorry it has to be this way, but I would like to express to you that for me, you were a savior and the god of manga. “Today I received the news of my master’s death. I feel an even greater sense of loss than when ‘Dragon Ball’ ended. I don’t know how I’ll deal with this hole in my heart. Now I can’t even read ‘Dragon Ball.’ Everyone was eagerly awaiting your work. I wish the wishes of ‘Dragon Ball’ existed. Maybe it’s selfish, but I’m so sad. Thank you, Toriyama, for your work for over 45 years. Thank you for your efforts and hard work. The remaining members of your family are deeply wounded. Please take care of yourself and rest in peace.” *This message by Masashi Kishimoto was shortened to fit the character limit set forth by Spotify. We encourage you to read his full statement. | |||
