[Anime talk starts around 9:15] This week, JJBPod checks out the infamously gross Summer 2026 anime Chainsmoker Cat , or YaniNeko . We also talk about Wong Kar Wai films, choosing your own name, tobacco legality, The Insider , and a bunch of gross stuff.

And with that, Akagi transitions to a hard mahjong show, which will most likely alienate anyone who isn't really into riichi mahjong. It's still a tense show, with a good - if not oddly familiar - soundtrack. We talk about episodes 4-6 this week. We also talk about The Steve Miller Band, phone numbers without area codes, Ice Ice Baby, and Oh You Thought This Was a Rabbit? | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | We're on Threads/Instagram | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord

For this tabletop-focused episode, we watched FOUR episodes of Akagi , the high-stakes mahjong anime. Well, half of us watched 1, 2, and 4, and the other half watched 1-3. Also we got Emrhys back on the pod, hooray. We also talk about Mahjong Tayo, System of a Down, the Mario Galaxy Movie, Weird NJ places, Free Solo, that one Silver Series Self-Defense ad, and falling down the free-to-play rabbit hole. | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | We're on Threads/Instagram | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord

For the last time in 2026, Happy Pride, everyone. We watch the slightly obscure OVA Kaze to Ki no Uta SANCTUS Sei Naru Ka Na? . Based on a beloved, landmark shonen-ai manga. It's only 60 minutes long, if you can find it. We also talk about School Ties (NOT Primary Colors ), arcade games, how many fingers should be off the glass, and why some works are sad. | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | We're on Threads/Instagram | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord

Who said older movies are too slow? This week on the pod we watched 1983's Golgo 13: The Professional , the first anime adaptation of hitman Golgo 13 and the first anime to use (beautiful, smooth) computer graphics. It's an over-the-top male fantasy that (almost) never stops moving or being hilarious. We also talk about foreign languages, what an otaku really is, and our first videogames. | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | We're on Threads/Instagram | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord

We also talk about hantavirus, Evil Dead , fairy Pokemon, homework, and Soy Vay. | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | We're on Threads/Instagram | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord

Sticking to scrap-heap anime, we take a look at 1993 OVA Battle Angel...(Alita). It's two parts and it's on YouTube, definitely worth a look.

Thanks to a Patreon supporter, it's finally time to dip our toes into the world of Lupin III - and to check out the first Miyazaki movie: The Castle of Cagliostro. We also talk about corporate transparency (vis-a-vis the baffling Steel Ball Run release schedule) and the flexatone. | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | We're on Threads/Instagram | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord

[Go to 17:14 for SBR Episode 2-ish talk] In a strange twist of fate, we got episode 2 of Steel Ball Run a lot earlier than we thought. It's pretty out there, but after the ending of part 6, all bets must be off! We may just have to consider this part of Araki's strange genius. Besides covering episodes 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 of SBR, we also talk about Alyssa Liu's first pitch, game tutorials, what goes on in Netflix boardrooms, and what animes will tide us over while we wait for SBR to bring us back to the old West. |

WE'RE BACK! Well, we never left you - we've covered dozens and dozens of animes between the end of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6 "Stone Ocean" and the long-overdue, glorious debut of Part 7, "Steel Ball Run." But we're finally about JoJo's again...for one week. We talk about the upcoming JoJo Caravan event at Kinokuniyas, how strange it is to know nothing about the next SBR episode, the doc Free Solo , robotic camel racing, and how to spell "accumulate."
