Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime!
It's a Bill and Andy episode! They review Episode 12 of Gungrave, "Kind." Sadly, they both aren't too kind to the content of this one. We skip ahead in time yet again, and the events of this episode are mostly filler. At least there's still some really good conversation to be had!

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime!
This week marks the beginning of an awesome story arc! Episode 9, "Dispute," introduces us to the rough and tumble Blood War. Maybe Bill is right about these names. Anywho, Blood War takes charge of a group of men and prepares to launch an all out war against Millenion. Brandon and Harry step forward to put a stop to this maniac, but will they be able to stop a plan that involves bringing the dead to life? Guess you'll have to listen to this week's episode and find out!

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime!
Who's your daddy? Your Big Daddy that is. Fans, we have a blast talking about this week's review, which is a solo episode this time around. We review the amazingly titled Episode 6 of Gungrave, "Big Daddy." Brandon and Maria want to get close, but there's only one thing in the way: an angry mob boss. It's a classic story of boy meets girl, girl goes to live with a crime lord, boy fishes with crime boss, boy and crime boss eat girl's pie. You'll have to listen to this week's episode to find out just what is going on in this anime.

What a week. Like, seriously. What. A. Week. If you weren't already elated this historic Saturday, why not smile and laugh and cheer some more at a brand new episode of Tooning Japanese! This week Bill, Josh, and Andy discuss more Gungrave. More specifically they review Episode 4, "Go," and Episode 5, "Millennion."

Season 6: Episode 2 - Bus Fare and a Gun

Welcome to Tooning Japanese, a podcast where three dudes in their 30s talk about Japanese anime!
We're back with more Gungrave! We are SO EXCITED for this season that we decided to talk about TWO EPISODES! Yes, this week the full crew talks about Episode 2 of Gungrave, "Young Dogs," and Episode 3, "Rain." If you thought the first episode of the series was too gun crazy, then you're in luck. We slow things down and go back to a simpler time before whatever apocalypse ravaged the landscape and littered it with orgman. In these two episodes we are introduced to a younger Brandon and Harry as they fight for survival with their gang of friends. And I'm sure nothing tragic will happen to thrust these two into a life of organized crime. Right?
