Three Dads Talking About Anime

Well, the end has come. Tekken ep 6 ends out this show (so far as we know.) Will things play out exactly like how Kolb described? Will the show deviate from its source? Will Jin lose?! Probably not based on this show but who cares! Here we go with the finale of Tekken: Bloodline!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This is it folks. The tournament is well under way and Jin has got to fight to win. Will he win? Will he draw out Orge? Will Chest's rankings of Samurai 7 characters match Kolb or Ben or both?! Only time (and listening to the episode) will tell here on 3DTAA.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

The tournament has begun! Lets see how our main man Jin does with all his training as he faces his first opponents! Will he falter? Will he be victorious? Will we see anyone else fight?! Who knows, well we do actually and you can do if you listen in on 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

We're halfway through, which feels fast, both in real life and in the show. Regardless of that though things are picking up. Fights are about to happen and people are getting ready to throw down! Join us this week for Ep 3 of Tekken!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Episode 2! We see more of the Tekken world get revealed. Relationships are established, glossed over, and renewed as we journey with Jin through his....journey. We hope you're enjoying Tekken and 3DTAA but if you have to pick one, please pick us. Join us this week as we dive into this next episode!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

It is once again time to start a new show! While shorter than we anticipated we are excited to walk through the new Tekken show from Netflix. We hope it will be action packed with flying fists and feet. Kolb is a bit of a Tekken fan so we also are excited for him to fill us in on Tekken Easter eggs that we miss, cause we definitely will. Whether you like anime, Tekken or both we hope you'll join us on 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Everyone, we are beyond excited because for the very first time we have on the show - an Anime mom. You're used to getting Three Dads Talking About Anime but this week it'll be me and Kolb joined by one of the wives of the show! Can you guess which of the three it'll be? (one hint - its not ben's wife so now you have a 50/50 chance.) In addition to our special guest we will chat with her about having just watched Erased. We'll see what she liked, what she didn't like and everything in between. We hope you enjoy this special ep of 3DTAA!

It has been (roughly) one full year since we started Three Dads Talking About Anime. What a journey, what a ride, what a good time! We pause this week to reflect back and look forward to year two. We look at the highs, lows, favs, lists, guests, and random data trivia! We give our opinions on top moments, top episodes, and reflect on what we've learned and grown in. We hope you enjoy this very special episode of 3DTAA.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This is the end of the Forgers.....until later this year when Part 2 comes out! Season 1 has wrapped up and we are chatting about the last two episodes. Will we get some movement for Anya? Will any secrets be revealed? Will we get bored (spoiler - we do not). All that and more here on 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

We are nearing the end. It has been too good so far and we are loving the ride. This week we jump straight back into the action of Yor's brother visiting. Will he figure them out? Will the cover be blown? Will Loid and Yor kiss?! This and much more on this week of 3DTAA.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Things are getting dicey for the Forgers! Their mission(s) are on shaky ground as Yor's brother steps into the picture. Will they fool him? Will Anya get a star? Will Loid ever do anything wrong?! You'll never know....unless you give this episode a listen!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Who loves the Forger fam? We do! This week we keep diving into the adventures of the suave and classy Loid, slightly ditzy but very genuine Yor, and adorable-and-means-well-but-usually-doesn't-help Anya. What family hijinks will our favorite spy family get into this week!?

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Man here we go! This is getting good - spies, intrigue, romance(ish), bad guys, good guys, explosions - so much good stuff! Joins us as we talk about the next two chapters of the Forger Family adventures!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

It is time for a new show folks and boy are we excited! Goodbye Joran, Hello Spy x Family! This week we jump into this new show (released earlier this year of 2022) about a make-shift family of a spy, assassin and telepath. What hijinks are we in store for? Will this show win our hearts despite internet hype? Time will, as always, tell as we watch on 3DTAA!

 (Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

For better or for worse we have done it. We made it to the end of Joran! It's been a ride, one with interesting twists, questionable turns, and a lot of wondering when it will end. We hope you enjoy us digesting the end of this series on 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Another week another adventure into the life of....well not Joran, we don't know who Joran is...but the show Joran is finally giving us some context and twists that we like. We hope you enjoy this week's episode as we go forward, then backward, then back to to where we were. Will someone else die this week? Who is going to betray who? Will the three dads like this show more or less? Some of these might possibly be answered this week on 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Things take a slower turn for our show this week...and we like it! We were pleasantly surprised that they slowed down the show a bit and it has piqued our interest. Will they land the plane? or crash and burn trying to get this thing to the ground. Only time will tell so stay tuned!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Today we go in a different direction - Anime Tropes and Stereotypes. There are a TON in anime and we use the first Ep of the show Tower of Druaga to explore some of them, and get in some good laughs (seriously we probably laugh more than talk in this one.) Join us for a look into the utterly hilarious nature of anime this week on 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Joran is back! Well, not really, we still don't know who Joran is or what it is or what this show is. Guys its been a struggle but we are staying faithful to finishing this show. Will it surprise us? Who will die and who will live? Will we finally like an episode? Find out if you're as curious as we are!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

"I'm sorry but the Princess is in another castle" - thats basically how we feel after watching these two eps. Who is Joran? Who is the true enemy? Who is that random person in episode 4 that shows up?! So many questions! Will there be answers? Maybe? Yes? We will have to (for the sake of the show) watch and find out....

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Welcome to another new show here on Three Dads Talking About Anime! If this is your first listen to us we welcome you and if it is your 41st time then welcome back! This week we start a new show "Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood" and we leave with many questions. Is this Alt Historical Fiction? Sci-Fi? Spy Thriller? All of the above? All we know is that it is definitely a mysterious show! Join us as we try and figure out who Joran is!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you dads out there (which we are). This week we take a moment to remember moments from our own dad life as well as highlight some favorite anime dads of ours that we have seen on the screen. We hope you enjoy this week's episode and remember to thank a dad in your life, no matter if they were born into that role or stepped up to fill it.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

It's part 2 of Erased and Kolb and Chest are back to solve the mystery. Will our protagonist save everyone? Will the antagonist win? Will Chest stay awake? Some of these things and more will be discussed in depth this week on 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

It's a filler filler episode! This week Chest and Kolb take you through Part 1 of 2 of the show Erased. A fantastic 12-episode show that is well worth watching. We hope you enjoy this look into the characters, plot, pizza, and more of this thriller show.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Hey everyone! This is an exciting episode indeed - we have finally made it to TOP 10 LISTS! We are stoked to share our top 10s, all the highs, lows, and middle parts! We hope you enjoy this special episode as we wade through the joy of listing shows we love.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This is it. The end of Burning Kabaddi. Forever. Well not forever, it's the end of season 1 with hopefully many seasons to come but that's not as gripping. We hope you have enjoyed this journey through the competitive muscle-bound world of Kabaddi and that you, like us, are ready for season 2 when it comes out (whenever that may be, or if it's already happened for you, then go watch it now.)

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

The end is nigh for our team. They’re battling it out and boy is it a battle! Who will win? Who is the best? How the heck do they say Kabaddi in one breath for so long?! (But seriously we have no idea….)

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Well, this week is something else. Conflict, Miscommunication, Disconnection...and that's not even getting to the show! We hope you enjoy this kerfuffle of an episode and bear with us through the technical difficulties. They do go away we promise!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

The game is afoot! Burning Kabaddi continues and so do we. This show is starting to pick up and with it, our interest in our little team that is forming, growing, and learning. Tune in this week and we promise you this - it will be an episode about an anime about a sport called Burning Kabaddi!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Jumping into eps 3 and 4 of Burning Kabaddi this week with the gang and special guest Thomas! Hope ya'll are enjoying this new anime and tracking with us. If you haven't seen it yet then check it out, it's worth a watch! This week we see what the team does to try and come together more. Will they come together? Will this show just be practice sessions? Will any of our questions be answered? Who knows, find out now!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

It's a new show everyone! This week Chest, Ben, Kolb, and (leaves Guest's name blank) jump into Burning Kabaddi! A fairly new show about a little-known sport by the same name. Join us as we see what this sport and show are all about and as we question our new guest on his name, age, origins, passport number, and more.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

AOT FINALE?! I guess you'll have to watch the show and then listen to us to find out....

You know what, just listen to us, find out and then watch the show. Who are we kidding if you haven't watched the show yet (cough Chest cough) then the internet is a minefield for you so get on it!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Next to the last episode! You can cut the tension with a knife and boy does this episode cut loose! however, all of us are a little puzzled how they will wrap this up in one last episode. Will it end next week? Will there be a surprise update or more content? Will it end well? Will Johnny make it out of Florida? none of these questions will be answered in this week's episode! We hope you enjoy our part 2 episode as we jump into AOT Ep 86!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This week we jump into Ep 85 of AOT. Lots of questions are floating around and e hope to find answers to them! Like what's going to happen at the port? When is Levi going to recover? When is Floch going to be gone already?! and what that (1/2) mean up there...... We hope you enjoy this week's episode of 3DTAA!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

What does any anime fan love more than good content, moving plot, relatable characters, powerful drama, and dramatic action? - Filler of course! Due to reasons Kolb will explain we take you away from Attack on Titan this week and into the show of Samurai 7. Enjoy!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

We are edging closer and closer to the end of Attack on Titan and man are things heating up! We have so enjoyed this ride and are looking forward to seeing its conclusion in the near(ish) future. This particular episode, while not action-packed, was definitely a tense one and we enjoyed every min of it. Jump in with us as we talk about Ep 84 of AOT!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This was a big episode to watch and we had a blast chatting about it. Join us as we dig into all the scene and growth that happen to many of the AOT gang we have come to know and love. Jokes are made, tears aren't (but could have been!) shed, and debate flows as we talk about episode 83 of Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 2.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This week we continue our conversation through Attack on Titan The Final Season, but wait! there's more! We also do our own take on the Armin/Erwin debate! This is a common AOT internet debate, it comes from a plot moment in season 3 part 2, and is a hot topic for theories of what could have or should have happened in the show. We are split here on the show so it makes for a good debate, stick around after the 45 min mark for that part of the show!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

After missing a week (and what a week to miss!) we are back on track with Attack on Titan! In this episode, we are covering both episodes 80 and 81 and boy are they packed. We hope you enjoy our thoughts, theories, laughs, and tears as we continue on this journey to the end of AOT.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Hey everyone! This week we are diverging from our Attack on Titan watching to share with you our views on the show Trigun! It's an older show that's well loved (though not without its flaws) and we hope you enjoy hearing us reminisce and chat about it's fun times, serious moments, and over all goofiness.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Another week and another episode of AOT. At almost 80 episodes in things are building to an intense pressure in the show! How will things go with Zeke and Eren? What will they see in their shared memories? What crazy things will Johnny bring to the table?! Find out this week on Three Dads Talking About Anime!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Welcome to week two of our journey through the final season of Attack on Titan! This week we go over what happens in episode 78 (with our returning guest Johnny) and also go through all the Intros of the show, ranking them as we go. It's quite the week this week and we can't wait to share our thoughts with you, our faithful listeners.

Like last week, if you want to skip to the section where we discuss the current episode jump to min mark 45.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This week is an exciting episode folks! It's the beginning (in real-time and for our show) of the final season of Attack on Titan! We are going to be following the end of AOT as it releases so each week we will cover the latest episode as it releases. This week we are covering episodes 76 and 77 with our special guest Johnny B! So much has, is, and will happen and we don't even know where to start. We hope you enjoy going with us through what has been a long ride for AOT fans and is sure to be an epic ending to an epic show.

For those that have seen the show, we give a fairly lengthy summary to allow for those who have not seen the show to have context. This summary is from minute mark 25:45 to minute mark 39:45. Feel free to skip over that if you want to jump straight to our thoughts on Season 4 of the show.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Say Hello and Welcome to our second guest - Dane aka Jean! We are happy to have him on the show and discuss his anime life and small details that are not anime-related, like him being Chest's brother! We hope you enjoy this week's episode and come back for an exciting new start next week with a brand new show!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This is it, folks. The roller-coaster is taxiing to the end of the ride. We have made it through, not just season 2 but all of Megablocks (as we like to call it), and what a ride it has been. We have so enjoyed sharing it with you and are so excited to bring our final thoughts of the show to the mic for you all to hear. Endings are not all sad though! At the end of this episode, we give a preview of what's to come so stick around (or skip around if you just can't wait) to the end to catch that! Now then, we hope you enjoy the end of Joe and the gang's story with us.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

The beginning of the end is here for Joe and the gang. Megalobox S2 Finale Part 1. We can't wait to see how the end plays out. It's been a journey to get here but thanks for sticking with us. We hope you enjoy this weeks episode and stick around for next week with the final episodes of the show!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

We’re in the thick of the season now and the plot keeps turning. Joe has gotten back to his roots and we’re getting more answers but also more questions. Is the gang gunna heal? We’ll never know…until we watch the show!

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Things heat up for Joe and the (new) gang! How are things going to shake out for Joe and Chief? What hijinks (highjinks? hi-jinks?) have Chest, Ben, and Kolb been up to? What do you, the listener, think of our new intro song?! All that and more in today's episode (most of it anyway.)

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

Season 2 is here! Not for us but for Megalobox. Joe is back and better than ever!..........is what we wish we could say. Join us as we dive into season 2 of a boxing show that is really not about boxing. Joe is back but he is hurting. Are we going to find out what happened to the gang? Why is Joe so banged up and beat down? Why isn't he gearless? Jump into another exciting episode of Three Dads Talking About Anime to find out!

Ps. We hope you enjoy the new intro for the new season! Our own Ben makes me them and we love to hear those sweet beats.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)

This is a special episode everyone. This week we have Nick Ramos joining us! Without giving away too much of his story he is a pro-volleyball player/past co-worker of Ben living in the Midwest. He loves anime and agreed to join us for a chat about his likes, dislikes, favorite shows, and how he got started! We hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording this week's show.

(Disclaimer: We are not a spoiler-free show, listen at your own risk to the episodes and shows that are discussed.)
