Who's your 'Best Girl'? Are Tsundere really the best girls in anime?: Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest talk about their Best Girls. Joey says you're allowed more then one; you can have multiple 2D girls in your life. His Best Girls are often ones who are cute but powerful and confident. He likes anime girls who have many hidden sides. Aki has multiple Best Girls, one being Haruko from Fooly Cooly. A lot of people like Tsundere; characters who are cold or hostile at first and then show a warmer side over time. The duo aren't sure they agree.

Are Winnie The Pooh and the Moomin anime connected?: This week AkiDearest has a conspiracy theory (that no one's allowed to steal)...She watched Moomin for the first time and says it reminds her of Winnie The Pooh. She's decided she has her own conspiracy theory that the two are connected... She liked the anime, and wishes she'd grown up with it as a kid. Joey The Anime Man really likes it too. The original series aired in 1969 - almost 50 years ago. Joey explains why he thinks it's still so popular today for kids and adults alike. by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

When did anime first cross over to the West (and WIN Oz Comic Con tickets): This week Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest talk about when anime first crossed over, into Western markets, and whether that relates to anime being less violent now. Many people say when Studio Ghibli's 'Spirited Away' won an Academy Award, anime filtered into the mainstream but Aki and Joey don't necessarily agree. The duo think it was during anime's golden age, when Naruto and One piece came in - they're all over the West now. They're worldwide famous. Originally anime was really gory, and Aki thinks censorship in the West wouldn't have wanted blood in cartoons. The cartoons for adults was a new concept. When do you think it crossed over? PLUS, you can WIN a double weekend pass to Melbourne Oz Comic Con... by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

Ep 19. What happens to academic anime chat after 15 hours of travel; Hogwarts gets a mention: This week Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest are recording after 15 hours of travel. They're delirious, which is probably an understatement. The duo have been to a small anime convention in Finland, which turned out to be their favourite ever. There were about 3,000 attendees and half of them went to Joey and Aki's panel, which was also their favourite panel ever. The two explain why Finland's anime con is the best, and talk about anime sereis that are massive in Finland but not elsewhere. Then the chat takes a turn, Aki starts talking about Hogwarts as an anime because she's so tired. It's all laughter and hilarious dribble from here. Joey sums it up best: this one's a nighttime episode (and good for a laugh)! by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

A guide to Japanese culture; it's not just about Anime: Joey The Anime Man and Aki Dearest give their tips on getting the most out of Japanese culture when you visit Japan. Be open to the food, Japanese food is another world entirely. There's so much to explore. Find someone to help translate for you and help you get around. The train system is complex and there's unwritten rules; no one talks on their phones on the train because it's rude. Everyone stands to one side on an escalator. Subways are expensive; it's better to put money on an all-purpose card that you can use on all transport and on vending machines. Embrace the Anime (ie The Ghibli Museum) but don't limit yourself to Anime - there's so much more to experience. Any extra tips to add? by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

Disagreeing on anime; good or just annoying: This week Joey The Anime Man and Aki Dearest talk about disagreeing - quite often - about what they think of certain anime. The couple have been asked if it's annoying how often they disagree on things, but the duo think it's the complete opposite. They prefer disagreeing on things because it makes for more interesting discussions. They don't fight because of their differing opinions, they just have interesting conversations. The duo like it when others disagree with their opinions too, like their audience. They respect different  opinions about anime. Joey says some comments have changed his view on certain anime, which makes things so much more interesting. What's your opinion on the topics they've covered this week?

Death Note's Netflix live action is a bad idea, and why anime live actions usually suck: Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest need to talk about Death Note becoming a live action on Netflix. There was an online storm after the Trailer was released because a lot of people are pessimistic about it. Some are waiting 'til it comes out (in full) to cast opinions but Joey and Aki aren't so sure. Light has been made to look like a crack addict instead of the cool, slick character he was in the anime. The live action Director, Adam Wingard, worked on The Blaire Witch Project reboot, which Joey hated. It only got 30% on Rotten Tomatoes, so others must've agreed. Makes Joey even less excited for the Death Note live action. The only redeeming feature is Willem Dafoe as Ryuk. Joey and Aki think most (if not all) anime live actions suck.

Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest get in-depth about cosplay: This week Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest delve deep into cosplay, even though Joey is pretty new to it. Joey talks about his first (and only) experience cosplaying, as Gintoki. What he finds hardest about cosplay is being hot and sweaty in a costume and wig. There are toxic people who take cosplaying too seriously and nitpick other costumes, both online and at conventions. The duo let us in on their predictions for the top three cosplay characters at upcoming anime expos. Who should Joey and Aki dress up as for the anime expo next month? by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

How to deal with the haters on YouTube: Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest talk about how they got started on YouTube, and how they deal with the negatives that come with a job they (mostly) love. Aki says some people's personalities change when they become successful YouTubers. She also says it makes her more self conscious, in her appearance and in what she says. YouTubers have to be careful with what they say, they have to hold their tongue more because the words sticks with them. There's a fine line in saying something to please your audience, and saying what you believe without losing your subscribers. They love their job and what they do but it's always hard to deal with the haters. The best and easiest way to deal with haters is to ignore them. It's still hard, but as soon as you give them attention, they've won. Do you agree? by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

The sad and inconvenient truth about the Anime industry: Joey The Anime Man and Aki Dearest talk about "sad and inconvenient truth about the Anime industry" this week. Recently veteran animator (who worked on Naruto) Kazunori Mizuno passed away allegedly because of overworking. Joey and Aki discuss how overworking in the Anime industry is common because less animators are wanting to work in the industry and more episodes are being created. So there's more work for less people. There's a Japanese word, now in the Oxford Dictionary, that describes death by over work, which is "Karōshi." The duo discuss why animators are overworked, they think it has to do with online audience demands, less people buying DVDs and less people wanting to work in the industry.

Extra: What has the rapid rise in popularity done for anime; good or bad: Joey The Anime Man, AkiDearest and Gaijin Goomba discuss how they feel about anime's rapid rise in popularity. Aki thinks there was more creative freedom in the past; more gore and weirdness. Nowadays there's more censorship and a lack of demand for the gory, weird content. People love the cute girl, bright animation and simple slice-of-life storyline in 12 episodes because of patience (or lack of). In saying that, some gems have come out recently.Not everyone appreciates the anime with deep messages, which leads to a discussion on whether all anime has to have deeper meaning.Anime's not dying, but there are parts of it that have faded away. People debate that the quality has declined, but the trio think it's just changed. What the audience sees as a good story has changed - the demand is different.

This week, Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest dives into the things in anime that they DON'T like.For all the many positives that anime has (like great characters, gorgeous animation, and fantastic stories), there are a number things that grinds Joey and Aki's gears, such as anime made to appeal to certain audiences and nothing more, live-action adaptations (looking at you Dragonball Evolution and the upcoming One Piece movie), terrible plot-twists, the glorification of yandere characters (*shudders*), and the cliched "running" opening sequences (which continues to baffle Joey).What things in anime that you do not like?</div> by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

HIGHLIGHT: What does a 'villain' mean in Anime: This week Joey and Aki dive deep into what makes an anime villain. They focus on Death Note, and about whether L or Light is the villain. The duo think it's really interesting in Death Note, that there's no definitive 'villain.' Characters do evil things, but that's part of a bigger story that explores what happens when a good guy gets given immense power (like Light getting a Death Note). by The Anime Show with Joey & AkiDearest

Anime cliches; what it would be like if they happened IRL: This week Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest talk Anime cliches.

Joey wants to know, if you fell on a girl how would you actually land because in Anime it's like an impressive yoga move. Also how slow can you fall; Anime slow-mo is epic. There's also the running, yelling, high-pitched voices, how fast you need to run to have your skirt fly like it does in Anime, friendship power (to beat the bad guys) and so the list goes on.
