The Buddies are facing the quarantine by solving the mystery of the capsule machine sister, finding love in the toilet paper aisle, and washing hands with sexy anime babes. **We recorded this episode before we knew Mulan would be pushed back so uhhh, oops!
The world is in a panic about the coronavirus, so what do we do? Make a lot of jokes about it to alleviate your stress. Tune in as we see how quarantined shut ins in Japan have resulted in free manga, more slaves for Tom Nook, a shortage of sex toys, and an IRL Death Stranding-esque baby pod made by a concerned Chinese dad. Listen now, before we’re not allowed to joke about a pandemic anymore.
Mankind has finally flown too close to the sun. We reveal the creation of bath bombs that turn you into a cannibal’s delight, drop the bomb on the Overwatch anime, and terrorize you with a woman hanging from a bus as a marketing prank in Japan.
Apparently the MATCHING APP UNIVERSITY is a real thing in Japan and has the statistics to prove it! This week, our love-themed episode takes on chocolate gift giving in Japan, the correct way to confess love to someone, and the SOLDIER OF LOVE, Sailor Moon on her new ice skating show. What a week.
This week, we travel to outer space to talk about living that geek life. Japan builds a Space Force to maintain the friendly skies, the new Star Wars manga makes Luke into a hottie, and we discuss how to spot an otaku in the wild. Watch out! We bite.
2020 is full of anticipation for nerds everywhere as we await the coming of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake with an oddly sentimental 13 minute long commercial, an anime version of The Witcher, and of course, the yearly decree of who the most beautiful men in manga are.
The new year is filled with promise for the weeaboos of the world! Final Fantsy 7 Remake will probably come out this year, the Nintendo World in Japan is like, almost done? Maybe? And hey, if all else fails, we are ushering in a new era with legit cosplayer Lai Pin-yu ruling over New Tai Pei City.
It’s 2020 and the Buddies are letting the Three Wise Holiday Spirits take over the intro of the podcast. We also cover the pain of deleting a hologram waifu, taking legal disco naps at bars in Osaka, purchasing our own DIY coffin set. so we can BURY OUR OLD 2019 SELVES IN THE GROUND. Listen at your own risk. Nicholas might getcha!
Welcome to our Winter Holiday Spectacular! We speculate wildly about what the last Star Wars is about, spin into a tirade on perfect Japanese husbands, master the art of ignoring children with photocopies of ourselves, and reveal Yoshiki’s end of 2019 scheme to enslave the members of KISS. We will be taking a break next week for Christmas, so enjoy this extra special episode on your holiday journeys!
We’re a little late to the freak out session, but OBAMA HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. Yoshiki has sunk his teeth into our favorite president, and well, at least he’s going to live forever now, right? We also debate more instant than instant ramen, video games creating introverts, and the empire of Chii-John and Shinjo Kun over US late night television.
If the Pope was an Avenger, would he be Tony Stark? And would Edward Snowden be the Hulk? We theorize on the extended anime universe version of real life people as Avengers, because apparently, we have lost our goddamn minds after Thanksgiving. Also, Max introduces the new segment #CRIMESLAMMERS. Submit those nonsense crimes to us via senpaibuddies@gmail.com. NO MURDERS, PLEASE.
All these years of devoting our lives to nerd-dom have finally paid off. A 120 meter Godzilla makes its way to Japan, the most advanced technology is harnessed to prevent food thievery at work, and science has proven that Naruto running is still COOL AS HELL… just not that effective.
November begins, and the Xmas jokes roll in, almost against our will. Today we talk about the new Star Wars Kabuki play, how not to be a wasteful human while eating sushi, and tell the tale of litterbugs meeting their match via undercover MMA wrestler Kai Asakura.
It’s Halloween, and someone needs to stop Michelle from singing intros all the goddamn time. Please help. This week, we discuss Halloween belligerence in Shibuya, the Final Fantasy Musical, and why 2D husbandos and waifus are company enough for millenials in Japan.
An emotional episode turns into a tawdry one. Queer Eye: Japan makes us all unexpectedly cry, but then we are pulled back into reality with Sailor Moon condoms, and Fate/Stay Night x Axe Body spray makes ya wanna have too many abs and a tiny couch.
We are basically living in an alternate dimension this episode. We talk about the Naruto characters that could have been (PEACH BOY and no Rock Lee!!), the ADULT WORLD of disgusting Japanese popsicles, and the chance to feel up some shark’s private parts in Tokyo.
Learn Japanese while you poo! Get cursed by Yoshiki while watching Tokyo Fashion Week! Have a heated debate among friends about Coach x Naruto x Michael B Jordan! This episode takes some turns, and we ran out of jokes at the end, but hey, THIS IS ART, OKAY?
It’s an episode of lovely boys, with a look at the new KFC Dating Game, doing ninja moves with Keanu Reeves in Japan, and patting Ash Ketchum on the back as he finally wins a Pokemon tournament for the first time ever.
Perhaps humankind has finally flown too close to the sun. This week, we reveal the Taco Bell Japan plans to make you naked(ish), the saddest park panda in the world, and the monstrosity that is the anti-fart robot underwear. Summertime sadness, indeed.
Who needs Game of Thrones when there’s plenty of horrifying-yet-disappointing anime that could take its place? This week we discuss death-laden anime, Japan’s top Host who is sort of like Voldemort and Alucard mixed together, and the death of Chiitan’s social media due to a scandal. An OTTER SCANDAL.
