KFR 115: 2023 Anime Awards

Author: Bad Bard Productions January 29, 2024 Duration: 2:21:23
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN! The Annual Kawaii-Fi Anime awards looks back at the past 12 months of anime we've consumed, giving each of the Kawaii-Fi Team the chance to talk about our favourite shows of the past 4 seasons! While there are many deserving and amazing anime from 2023, we have each chosen our favourites to share with you – each serving as a recommendation for whichever team members tastes align more with your own. This is by no means a definitive list – 2023 was an incredible year for anime – and it’s much more a chance to reflect on the shows that truly grabbed our attention or a place in our hearts and minds. We’d love to hear your picks from the year, so don’t hesitate to sound off in the comments on socials or YouTube with your preferred picks for 2023! There is no wrong answer, unless it was created by Studio GoHands :PVIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedySUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifiJOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQLISTEN ELSEWHERE?Smart Link: https://link.chtbl.com/KawaiiFiSpotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleEPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Show Opener00:02:21 – Openings and Art00:17:11 – Best in Category00:53:32 – Regret and Forget01:03:37 – 2013 Hall of Fame01:23:16 – Best of the Year02:14:17 – Next Time, Promo’s and Valentine’s DayTags:anime,podcast,anime news,anime podcast,anime reviews,anime recommendation

There's a particular kind of excitement that comes from diving into a new series or rediscovering a forgotten gem, and that's the feeling Kawaii-Fi Radio-Anime Podcast aims to capture every time. Created by Bad Bard Productions, this isn't just a rundown of headlines; it's a conversational space for anyone drawn to anime, manga, and the wider otaku culture. You'll hear discussions that range from the latest industry news and seasonal must-watches to thoughtful recommendations from the vast back catalogue, ensuring both newcomers and long-time fans find something to connect with. The tone is intentionally welcoming and all-ages, focusing on shared enthusiasm rather than insider gatekeeping. Episodes arrive every two weeks, filled with genuine reactions and deep dives, complemented by additional monthly content on their YouTube channel. It feels less like a formal review show and more like hanging out with friends who just watched something incredible and can't wait to talk about it. Tune into this podcast for a consistent, friendly voice in the ever-expanding world of Japanese animation, where the classics get as much love as the newest hits.
