   Episode 209 – Forever Indebted to Your Priceless Advice

   In Memoriam “PAC” Benjamin Satterley 1986-2026 Mike McFarland 1970-2026 “Throw your heart out in front of you and run ahead to catch it.” We’ll return to the funny snarky bits in the description next time. This is us coming back after a rough and busy month catching up on some things of note. We’ll do better next time, for now enjoy this worthwhile distraction from the real world at large. *REUPLOADED to fix gaps in the audio. Apologies for the static in some of the audio.

   Episode 208 – The 9 to 5 Grind (Anime NYC 2026)

   The thumbnail isn't for a discussion about Bleach, it's just how we're all feeling after this week. Yes, again. Tired and worn out and sad, yet we carry on because we live to fight and survive. And part of that survival comes with taking our minds off of the world at large with a few hours of anime and manga discussion, and in this case it's with talking about Anime NYC from last weekend and all of the announcements that came from it, from all the manga and light novel pickups to Netflix announcing dates for Edgerunners 2 and Fool Night, along with everything in between. There are also some more puff pieces about Crunchyroll worth tearing apart because have you seen their new online store lately? It's bad, it's so bad that both AnimEigo AND Sentai are cracking jokes about it. We'll talk about the One Piece character rankings next time, as well. Time constraints meant we couldn't do it this time. intro - a very rotten week 10:13 - the updated Crunchyroll store SUCKS 17:28 - Crunchyroll’s latest Variety PR puff pieces 28:57 - Anime NYC rundown (American Manga Awards, Viz x RetroCrush, VHD Bloodlust, a LOT of books) 1:42:38 - other news items (Naruto at NYCC, Kingdom Hearts anime, One Piece Day announcements) 2:16:58 - home video releases (Yaiba, Non Non Biyori, CR steelbooks) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

   Episode 207 – Sony, You’re Making Us F**king Hostile (Otakon 2026)

   We're all mad at Sony for ALL of the reasons right now. But we're not mad at Discotek since they and AnimEigo alike offer everyone really cool things and actually treat their customers like people, unlike Sony who treats people with contempt and locks their store behind a paid Crunchyroll subscription. We're also not mad at Anime Limited for getting Banana Fish and committing to put it on a disc sometime soon, unlike Sony who would rather get rid of discs the for the glory and benefit of their spreadsheet-loving C-suite. And we're also not mad at the Criterion Channel service for getting Neon Genesis Evangelion on their platform next month (ADV dub included, per reports) since they know people like old things, unlike Sony who will gladly let old things lapse so people can't get them anymore. The point is, we're mad at Sony. But we're not mad at other folks and other companies. Enjoy our show where we offer both the yin and yang of this mess of an industry. And say hi to Sketch on this show on your way in. intro - Paramount doesn’t care about Avatar 11:32 - F Sony, Part 1: The Games Nonsense (PS5 discs, the industry as a whole) 33:57 - F Sony, Part 2: The Crunchyroll Nonsense (CR store paywall, Black Lagoon and more are gone) 48:39 - Discotek Day, Part 1: The AnimEigo Opening Act (Rune Explorers, ReLIFE) 1:01:54 - Discotek Day, Part 2: Good Guys Still Wear Hats (Big O, Penguindrum, Digimon Frontier, Patlabor, Memories 4K, Samurai Pizza Cats HD) 1:48:21 - The other news bits (EVA on Criterion Channel, new Gundam, Virgin Punk digital release, Anime Limited licenses Banana Fish) 2:17:30 - The brief home video rundown (Big O, Penguindrum, Toradora, One Piece, Dr. Stone) past episodes for reference: #92: Memories #206: AnimEigo at Anime Expo Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.
