Anime Addicts Anonymous Podcast (AAAPodcast)
A long-running weekly podcast for dedicated anime fans, featuring news, themed discussions, and reviews from a rotating panel of hosts.
A classic, panel-style podcast where a rotating group of long-time fans dissect the world of anime. Each lengthy episode is highly structured, moving from industry news and community mailbags to a central themed discussion—like the history of a genre or analysis of a trope—before concluding with a detailed review of a current or retro anime series. It's a show by and for the already converted, serving as a weekly touchstone in the anime community.
“Its sheer longevity, with over 800 episodes since 2009, gives the show a sense of history and authority that newer podcasts lack. The format is also distinctively rigid, with recurring segments like "Big News of the Week" and a main topic/review structure that provides a consistent and predictable listening experience every week.”
Who hosts this show
Founded in July 2009 by hosts Chiaki and Mitsugi, the Anime Addicts Anonymous Podcast aims to "make your anime addiction worse" by providing in-depth discussions for serious fans. With over 800 episodes, the show has a long history that includes hosts living and broadcasting from Japan for two years, giving them a deeper understanding of the culture they discuss. The cast of hosts has evolved over the years, but the core mission of creating a community to share a love for anime and Japanese culture remains.

What you'll be asked on this show
This is a co-hosted panel discussion, not an interview show; the hosts seen in evidence (Mason, Caroline, Andrew, etc.) are part of a larger rotating cast. Episodes are streamed live on Sundays and follow a strict format: housekeeping, "Big News of the Week," a main topic deep-dive, a trivia break, mailbag, and finally an in-depth anime review.
