After our brief foray into video games, it's time to ride back into anime with 2009's RideBack: a show we all thought would be like IGPX with motorcycle mechs, but instead it's more like Terror in Resonance with motorcyc

It's time to wrap things up with our favorite gay girls and the world of Pure Illusion. Despite some misgivings about the final conflict of the show, we all made it to the other side with positive feelings towards Flip F

We're Flipping and we're Flapping as we watch the delightfully original Flip Flappers. Join us as we discuss our love (or hate) for Papika, lesbians and Class S tropes, biosemiotics and more!Anime Discussed: Flip Flapper

It's time to ugly cry as we reach the emotional climax of A Place Further than the Universe, and boy, what a climax it is. Join us as we discuss loss and closure, friendship, more girls rocking, Werner Herzog, and more!A

Needless to say we deserved a nice palate cleanser after Bokurano, and fortunately for us A Place Further than the Universe fits the bill. Join us as we talk about a show where the vibes are great, the girls rock, and th

We made it to the end of Bokurano which means we can finally say with no hesitation that it was one of the worst things we watched for the podcast. Any good will we might've had towards the start of the show has fully wh

Much like the kids in Bokurano, we're fighting for our lives trying to see this show through to the end as it continues to throw plot lines and characters at us that we could care less about, and forgets to have its char

So there's good news and bad news about the next six Bokurano episodes. The bad news is that we've hit a major low point in the show, but the good news is that hopefully (let's all cross our fingers) the worst is now beh

We're watching Bokurano! Six episodes in and it's fair to say we have some varied opinions about this one. Things we generally like: the music, the mechs, the OP; things we don't like: all these nasty boys, the ED, stran

It's our 5th anniversary! We're celebrating the occasion by talking about a seminal anime film: Akira. We're also continuing our annual tradition of personally ranking all of the anime we've watched over the last 5 years

We've finished Wish Upon the Pleiades which means we can finally lay Gainax to rest. Was their final produced anime any good? Was it way too straight for our liking? Did it make us want to go out an purchase a Subaru? Li

Today's episode is brought to you by your local Subaru dealer! Just kidding, but we are starting the Subaru and Gainax (RIP) co-produced anime Wish Upon the Pleiades. Is this a sleeper hit of a magical girl show or just

We're finishing off our run on Patlabor with a trio of offerings. First there's the main event, Patlabor WXIII, the last of the theatrical animated films and an often overlooked and underappreciated part of the series. T

It was all leading to this. One Patlabor work stands high above the rest: Mamoru Oshii's Patlabor 2. Join us as we talk about the films big thematic ideas, the masterful soundtrack from Kenji Kawaii, both the showy and s

With the OVAS out of the way, it's time to dig into the Patlabor movies, starting with Patlabor: The Movie! This movie has a lot of what the OVAs felt lacking, and then some: a lot more character interactions, intrigue,

We're finally scratching a big one off of Austin's personal list, and diving into Patlabor! Unfortunately for Danny and Danielle who haven't seen any Patlabor before, that means doing the prep work of watching the mostly

We're changing things up a bit for this episode by reading a manga instead of watching an anime! We read the delightful (yet toothless) BL Metamorphosis. A totally nice manga that maybe could've had a bit more depth and

It's time for another show and tell, and this time we decided to forsake good sense and reason by choosing three different bad isekai anime and checking out their first episodes. All three held up to our general expectat

Now at the end of Shinsekai Yori, we can confidently say two things: one, this show did not need to be 25 episodes long, and two, the queerats were by far the most interesting part of the show. Join us as we dissect the
