  KFR 163X: Sword of the Stranger - A hidden Samurai gem

  Jun 10, 202640 minS7

  Many samurai movies have kind of come and gone in Japanese cinema – both in live action and animated varieties. And while some leave a lasting impression on Nippon’s cinematic industry, others are forgotten - not because they are bad - but often due to simple things such as bad release windows, limited advertising budget or extremely limited availability after release. This week’s episode is all about one of the later – a cinematic, action packed, animated samurai film, set in the gritty Sengoku period, with a dash of China’s Wuxia storytelling thrown on top of beautiful, hand-crafted animation at Studio Bones. Does Sword of the Stranger of tread a new path compared to other Samurai tales? No – but it truly does not need to. If you love samurai tales like the gritty remake of Dororo or even the bombastic Samurai Champloon, this is 2 hours you’ll be glad you spent watching this amazing film.

  KFR 163: All You Need is Kill vs. Edge of Tomorrow!

  May 27, 20261h 24mS7

  After a celebrated run at international film festivals, the anime movie adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s All You Need is Kill is now available to buy digitally – and hopefully should land on streaming platforms soon.   So how does this re-imagining of the light novel compare to the Hollywood adaptation – Edge of Tomorrow – and even its own manga adaptation?   Honestly? It doesn’t. But it’s not because it’s bad – it’s a whole new take on the story.   SUPPORT US Patreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFi Buy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi   NEWS ITEMS Crunchyroll Japan's Net Profit Drops 63% https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-05-19/crunchyroll-japan-net-profit-drops-63-percent-to-453-million-yen/.237531   Nanami Voice actor, Kenjiro Tsuda, sues TikTok account that profited from cloning his voice with AI https://fandomwire.com/kenjiro-tsuda-ai-lawsuit-against-tiktok-explained/   The Scooby Doo “Anime” – might actually be produced by OLM! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-05-18/tubi-tv-licenses-yokoso-scooby-doo-anime-by-olm/.237510   Netflix to stream Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express Film on June 1 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-05-19/netflix-streams-milky-subway-the-galactic-limited-express-film-on-june-1/.237527   VIDEOS!

  KFR 162: Is K-On still good in 2026? Criterion think so!

  May 16, 20261h 33mS7

  The Criterion Collection just added the K-ON movie to their catalogue , cementing it as a classic anime film for the ages. That said, they only have 5 anime titles in the collection, so we’ll take it with a grain of salt lol. However, it’s a great excuse for us to revisit an iconic Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) anime from the early 2000’s! So, does K-On hold up to current audience expectations? Or does its meandering, slice of life pacing made it harder for current audiences to enjoy?   Join us as we share our thoughts, dig into the series history and explain why the series ended despite its huge popularity. Also, BIG apologies on the delayed recording and release - illnesses, travel for work and scheduling conflicts made this episode a real struggle to get out. Our next 2 releases may see delays due to Kyle travelling extensively for work over the next 6 weeks, but we’ll keep you in the loop!   SUPPORT US Patreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFi Buy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi   NEWS ITEMS Black Clover manga comes to an end One Piece anime remake update Kagurabachi Gets TV Anime in April 2027 H.P.
