Coming to you early in the spookiest of months, it's our annual Halloween Show! Nef and JR tackle topics including anime (with coverage of Sparks of Tomorrow, Ranma 1/2 and The Apothecary Diaries) and news from Japan about beer cartels and professional sumo wrestlers turned professional wrestlers. We then continue the longstanding tradition of Extreme Anime Radio by inviting The Count, who only comes out of the closet once a year! What sort of creepy advice will he bestow upon the listeners this year?
There is also an update on Sarah Yoshida cosplayer Astro Cosplay's GoFundMe for a new dance wheelchair. Please click on the link below to learn more about their campaign and to donate:

September 23, 2026 - Season 14 Premiere
Welcome to Season 14 of the Extreme Anime Radio Podcast! JR and Nef return to recap what was a long and busy summer. Big topics include the advancement of AI and self-driving cars, the poor health of certain sports teams and spying television sets, before discussion turns to anime and the expansion of the "It's Anime" streaming television service and the continuing saga of One Piece episodes. Nef's corner of current Anime titles include "The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System," which is along the lines of fantasy and adventure-themed titles that the XAR team have come across in recent years.
At the end of the show are some announcements, including one in support of Sarah Yoshida cosplayer Astro Cosplay's GoFundMe for a new dance wheelchair. Please click on the link below to learn more about their campaign and to donate:

June 25, 2026 - Season 13 finale
JR and Nef present the final podcast of Season 13 before the show goes on summer hiatus. On this podcast we salute our mascot Yumemi Butai on her fourth anniversary, and read notes posted by Yumemi cosplayers MikaZelda and Kessho-Cho for the occasion. JR recaps his trip to Virginia to meet with Mika and Bri (and take Mika's Yumemi photos). Besides the usual sports chatter, notably the ongoing World Cup, they talk about the early release of "Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You" on Crunchyroll. Nef then goes through his manga library, enough to suggest a couple of titles to JR, including "At Home with a Girl in Her Cute Pajamas."
