KFR 92: 20 Years of Naruto Anime

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast · Bad Bard Productions

Show Notes

Wait, another NARUTO anniversary? Didn't we just have one of those a few years ago?

Yes! But this is for the 20th anniversary of the anime and let's be honest - outside of Japan Naruto really gained traction and popularity once it started airing on TV!

So how does it stack up after 20 years? Do we still love it? Or are we now seeing it in a different light?

This, plus the latest anime news, what's currently airing and a silly amount of moon people jokes!

Episode Notes:

Towards the end of the episode, Tifa mentions a new shounen trio while we're talking about the Big Three and it's history.

She's checked and confirmed this is called the "The Dark Trio of Shounen" and refers to the mangas of Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.

These three manga have been grouped together due to their darker aesthetic, the death of core characters and a more cynical view of the world, along with being seen as an indication of the direction Shounen manga is heading.

Hope this helps to clarify what we were talking about!
