KFR 130: Classic Yōkai Anime - Halloween!

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast

We're BACK and it's time to get spooky!

Halloween is upon us and as we do every year, our Patreon members have helped us choose the topic of this episode - and it's Classic Yōkai!

Yōkai play a big role in Japanese supernatural stories and its concepts share similarities with the Shinto religion, including spirits inhabiting objects, locations and animals.

We've got a handful of fascinating Yōkai focused anime for you to check out this Halloween - from comedy to romance to, of course, thrillers and horror!

Plus - what we're watching this season and news on a big controversy that's hit Crunchyroll US!
