I don't know why Amuro's birthplace was established as Prince Rupert, BC in Gundam Movie 1, why there's a military fortress in Fort Severn, Ontario in Gundam X or why the insidious Earth Federation training academy from Ecole du… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2372883449-zannencanada-ep-112-weirdly-specific.mp3) ## [Ep.111 - Interview with Andy Coyle](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-111-interview-with-andy) _2026-06-26 · Zannen, Canada_ Andy Coyle is probably best known as the director of Hilda, the animated adaptation of the UK novel series by Mercury Filmworks. More recently, he's been tinkering away at Don't Walk Home Alone After Dark, an animated horror anthology that has blown up in popularity over the past few years on YouTube and may very well be one of the coolest things happening in Canadian animation today. I talk to… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2347472099-zannencanada-ep-111-interview-with-andy.mp3) ## [Ep.110 - Emily of New Moon](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-110-emily-of-new-moon) _2026-05-31 · Zannen, Canada_ You probably didn't know there was an Emily of New Moon anime. Unless, of course, you live in an Arabic-speaking country, where it just happens to be one of the most popular anime series of this century despite being forgotten in every other region. I'll admit, I was kind of dreading the obligation of sitting through TMS and NHK's 2007 adaptation featuring Lucy Maud Montgomery's second most… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2330505110-zannencanada-ep-110-emily-of-new-moon.mp3) ## [Ep.109 - The Real Numbers Behind Anime in Canada](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-109-the-real-numbers-behind) _2026-04-28 · Zannen, Canada_ Some listeners may be perturbed to learn that much of the discussion on this program about the trends and traditions of anime in our country is built on a foundation of assumptions. Mind you, this is not the same thing as a foundation of lies, because these assumptions are based on the qualified observations and deductions of sensible people, but some out there will not accept anything less than a… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2311187522-zannencanada-ep-109-the-real-numbers-behind.mp3) ## [Ep.108 - Le Petit Castor/Don Chuck Monogatari](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-108-le-petit-castor-don) _2026-04-01 · Zannen, Canada_ You may assume that the most popular anime to air in Quebec in the 1980s was Captain Harlock or Candy Candy, but that's probably because those are shows you'd find interesting on the surface. If you want to look at what was actually popular with French-Canadian children, you should shift your attention to a surprisingly violent talking beaver cartoon that was actually a repurposed advertisement… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2294353655-zannencanada-ep-108-le-petit-castor-don.mp3) ## [Ep.107 - Anime Parallels in Heated Rivalry](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-107-anime-parallels-in) _2026-02-28 · Zannen, Canada_ It's time for Zannen, Canada to fulfill its mandated 30% yaoi quota by diving into Heated Rivalry. And why SHOULDN'T we talk about the greatest Canadian television show of all time? The fact that we can make numerous connections to anime, such as using innovative budget techniques and its status as an Evangelion-like social phenomenon, is really just a bonus. Ian and Randy are both back to… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2274861860-zannencanada-ep-107-anime-parallels-in.mp3) ## [Ep.106 - Mean Gene Fowler](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-106-mean-gene-fowler) _2026-01-28 · Zannen, Canada_ Gene Fowler is something of a mythical figure of the Maritime animation scene, having founded two studios (Fatkat Studios and Loogaroo Studios) and keeping up a steady stream of projects despite having a bit of an outsider status in the Canadian animation industry. And hoo-boy does he have some things to say about that industry! Even if you disagree, he'll sure as hell give you something to think… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2256879668-zannencanada-ep-106-mean-gene-fowler.mp3) ## [Ep.105 - Ginban Kaleidoscope, or: A Figure Skater Eats Tomatoes Alone at a Canadian Restaurant](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-105-ginban-kaleidoscope-or) _2025-12-17 · Zannen, Canada_ Ginban Kaleidoscope is an anime series from 2005. It tells the story of self-absorbed Japanese figure skating champion who becomes possessed by the ghost of Canadian stunt pilot who crashes his plane near one of her qualifying performances in Montreal. The premise is ridiculous, the animation is mediocre at best, and the final episode famously carries an Alan Smithee directing credit. Did we have… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2232562568-zannencanada-ep-105-ginban-kaleidoscope-or.mp3) ## [Ep.104 - Underdiscussed Vancouver Fandom History](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep104-underdiscussed-vancouver) _2025-11-28 · Zannen, Canada_ I've finally found the courage to talk about the sometimes tumultuous history of anime fandom in Vancouver, including stores like Anime Jyanai, clubs like VJAS, well-remember cons like Anime Evolution and not-so-well-remembered cons like AKA Con.

So why isn't it a Canadian movie? Most of us probably understand that it's because it was made by American producers with American money. However, outside of some media puff pieces about the Canadian creator and co-director Maggie Kang, there… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2181304379-zannencanada-ep-103-why-isnt-k-pop-demon.mp3) ## [Refer a Friend, Earn Rewards (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/9WXxFN4NmtFa) _2025-10-03 · **Sponsored**_ Earn rewards when a friend signs up for the Graphite Business Card ## [Ep.102 - Tokens for Shouta Aoi](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-102-tokens-for-shouta-aoi) _2025-09-11 · Zannen, Canada_ There were simply too may conventions going on in August, but we tried our best to keep our bases covered!

One of the greatest literary adaptations of all time, and maybe one the greatest television shows of all time. Dave Merrill and Patricia Gosselin chat with me about the legacy of Lucy Maude Montgomery's work, the… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/2120420607-zannencanada-ep-101-gods-in-his-heaven-alls.mp3) ## [Ep.100 - Inuyasha Finalis Actum](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep-100-inuyasha-finalis-actum) _2025-03-31 · Zannen, Canada_ The Zannen, Canada podcast has now been around for 10 years and I'm determined to not make a big deal about it! Sarah/Kittea joins me for the first time in some years to help me work through the headspace that results from dealing with trade wars and challenges to sovereignty day in and day out, and what this means for anime fans!

There was one major perspective missing, and I was very fortunate to not only get in contact with him, but have him agree to come on the podcast: Hervé Bédard, executive producer of Cybersix and founder of Network of Animation!

This time we're looking at the show that effectively marked the end of the block that we loved: Death Note! And we're not only looking at Death Note in the context of YTV, but also for the franchise's many connections to the city of Vancouver largely due to the amazing English dubbing work by Ocean Studios. And yes, we do talk about… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/1926616586-zannencanada-ep97-bionix-omega-death-note.mp3) ## [Ep.96 - Bionix Alpha: Witch Hunter Robin](https://soundcloud.com/zannencanada/ep96-bionix-alpha-witch-hunter-robin) _2024-09-09 · Zannen, Canada_ Since I'm pretty much obligated to do something in observance of the 20th anniversary of YTV's Bionix block, Sammy and I are talking about its one debut anime we haven't touched on: Witch Hunter Robin! While it's not a super interesting show on its own, it did offer a lot to chew on as part of a well-curated programming block. We also have what I believe to be an exclusive look at the canceled… [Listen](https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/1913562374-zannencanada-ep96-bionix-alpha-witch-hunter-robin.mp3)
