    KFR 125: The History of Gainax - Studio in Focus
    Jul 21 2024

    This episode, Kyle and Kenny dive deep into the history of Studio Gainax – a beloved anime studio with over 40 years of history which sadly declared bankruptcy in 2024.


    Gainax was an anime studio established by fans and ultimately fell apart due to mismanagement and bad financial behaviour.


    So what were the origins of this studio and how did this historic studio go from the global recognition to law suits and administration?


    All this, plus the latest anime news, expired kitkat’s and Durian ice cream?

    KFR 121: Kill la Kill 10 year Anniversary!
    May 6 2024

    Has it really been 10 years since Kill la Kill aired its final episode??? Not quite (there was an OVA!) but time really flies when you’ve got new anime to watch!


    Join us as we look back on an anime that defined a generation of cosplayers and helped make Studio Trigger the legend of the industry that it has become!


    Plus a few recommendations from the team and of course the latest anime news!


    EXTRA NOTE

    We didn't cover it this episode but Kill La Kill shares a LOT of it's aesthetics and style with an 80's J-Drama series called 'Sukeban Deka'.


    Game Rant have a great article on the overlap and similarities (including the shots used in the ending credits) which you can read here:: https://gamerant.com/the-80s-j-drama-that-inspired-kill-la-kill/
