Anime Brothers

In this episode we say goodbye to the Anime Brothers Podcast. It has been an amazing 5+ years! Thank you to everyone who ever spared some of your precious time to listen to some goofballs talk about anime. From everyone here at Anime Brothers, past and present, we love you with all of our hearts. I always hated writing these show notes, but now I'm sure I'll miss it. - Earthworm The Anime Brothers expressly prohibit any entity from using this podcast for purposes of training AI technologies Support The Adventure!Patreon Join The Adventure!DiscordTwitter Instagram [email protected] All The Links, On One Tree!https://linktr.ee/AnimeBrothersPodcast Intro Song: YungxHarm - No Cap Freestyle feat vacaationOutro Song: YungxHarm - Kept in the Dark Follow YungxHarm;Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yungxharm/Twitter: @YungxHarmSoundcloud:https://soundcloud.com/yungxharm471 Follow vacaation;Instagram: https://instagram.com/vacaation?igshiTwitter: @vacaation_Soundcloud:https://soundcloud.com/vacaation86

In this episode we finish off Matt-sterpiece Theater with a review of Angel Beats. An original anime written by June Maeda, this anime has no shortage of heavy emotions and deep themes. Does the final nail in the Matt-sterpiece coffin resonate with the hosts, or does this anime need to Angel Beat it?

The autumn winds are blowing in and changing the color of all the leaves but it isn't changing us as we're loading up another pile of anime that we sampled from the latest season! While fall 2025 certainly isn't reaching the dizzying heights of summer, it's still MORE anime so we're putting it on ourselves to give our first takes of some of fall's best... so not One Punch Man for sure. That's a joke so please don't send angry tweets or xeets or whatever to the staff (like some other people). We're talking about Spy x Family, Sanda, My Friend's Little Sister Has It In for Me and more so check it out! And here's some time stamps because we love you.

We're in the midst of Imaishi October, and we've come to what could be considered his "Magnum Opus." Kill la Kill is an ambitious show, not just in its content but also the fact that it was Studio Trigger's first work. That being said, we felt it necessary to enlist the help of our good friend, Som from the Anime Summit podcast. Together we do our best to review the monument of anime that is Kill la Kill!

In this episode we're continuing Imaishi October with a review of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.

In this episode we kick of another themed month, this time focusing on the works of Hiroyuki Imaishi! And we can't think of a better anime to start of this month of madness than his directorial debut, Dead Leaves. Quite possibly the most insane anime we've ever witnessed, but we wouldn't expect anything less form Imaishi.
