Before we jump into anime, Leo talks about how he literally couldn’t see the monsters in the latest Godzilla movie.

It’s the halfway point of the season, which means we need to evaluate where we’re at, and make any midseason cuts if necessary. At the halfway point of Mob Psycho, Reigen finally has to try to find his way in the spirit-cleansing world without Mob’s assistance, and gets in over his head. Meanwhile, on Run With the Wind, the guys scope out the Hakone race, and also try to quell Jota and Joji’s doubts about Haiji’s true reasons for aiming for the top. A new...

We kick off the podcast with some brief thoughts about the results of the Crunchyroll anime awards, which we obviously don’t agree with. Afterwards we chat about some of the nonsense we’ve been up to before jumping into Mob Psycho 100 II. Episode 5 was a showcase for some of the most spectacular animation in a TV anime in quite some time. The Run With the Wind boys take one step closer to the Hakone Ekiden, which took Kakeru turning into a glowing blue god of running to a...

We recorded this episode on Valentine’s Day, and apparently Kat was so love drunk that she totally watched the wrong episode of Mob Psycho 100. To be fair, she was only off by an entire season. Luckily, Bcom and Leo rattle a synopsis off the top of their heads with surprising accuracy. Run With the Wind’s latest episode exhibits some incredibly unsafe hydration practices, which lead to predictable disaster. We continue to try to make sense of Kemurikusa as they battle a giant bug with some smart stra...

After Leo and Kat cry about work and the freezing cold weather, Bcom cries about the Kristaps Porzingis trade. Once we get into anime, Bcom has some special Swedish intelligence to help understand the main love interest of Girly Air Force. We felt Quintessential Quintuplets offered a surprisingly inoffensive ecchi harem setup, when compared with typical genre offerings from the past couple of years.

Winter 2019 is upon us and it’s time to dig straight down until we find some diamonds in the rough. We start out raving about Dororo and Mob Psycho II, which both showcased fantastic art style and animation. The new Kemono Friends aren’t as fun or educational as the old ones, which disappoints Bcom. Leo winces as Kat and Bcom get pumped up by the return of Run With the Wind. Kat holds an intervention with Japan about its now well-established trend of adult fema...

We go season by season through all the anime we covered, and some we didn’t, and give you our current thoughts and recommendations. After that, we undertook a rigorous statistical review of our podcast breaking down certain trends that continued throughout the year, and found out who truly is the best picker of locks out of our hosts.

We start off by chatting about the finales of Bunny Girl and Bloom Into You, neither of which came to a completely satisfying conclusion. Then, because of our eight show weekly format this season, we had a lot of extra time to watch anime outside of the podcast, and we run through many of those, such as SSSS.Gridman, Irozuku, Black Clover, and Hi Score Girl, just to name a few. Finally, we dole...

The finale of The Girl in Twilight satisfied some of us and infuriated others, by giving us some of the most visually impressive moments of the show, but depriving us of closure on several major plot points. We have a prolonged discussion about whether Nopperabo has eyelids in the season 2 finale of Golden Kamuy, which finishes with many dramatic reveals and shifting alliances, and importantly, the return of our favorite C.G.I. bear. Run With the Wind is Gone With th...

After we chat a little bit about Aquaman’s glistening chest, Florida’s horrifying morning sun, and the cute nostalgia of Hi Score Girl, we jump into this penultimate week of anime. The Girl in Twilight kicked off the week with a wonderful reveal of a deeper relationship between two of its characters, which flourished into one of the most emotional fight scenes of the series. Hide your kids, hide your wife, because Tsurumi’s 7th division is coming for our heroes at Abashiri Prison as Golde...

We kick it off with some nonsense, like Bcom watching a famous Japanese movie from 1983 about husky sled dogs surviving the treacherous landscape of Antarctica. Kat had to survive holiday parties, and a dairy awkward moment with her friend, and Leo had to survive his deepest dental appointment yet. We move on to anime, and Kat channels her inner Gordon Ramsay and lambasts Asuka for trying to make a chikuwa cake in The Girl in Twilight. We debate crushed vs. mashed potatoes in Golden...

We start off with a nonsense section, in which we talked a lot about various video games we’re playing. Even Kat is playing games now! This week, the girls in twilight saw the truth of Seriouska’s world, and we got a not-so-unexpected reveal of the true identity of The King of Twilight. Kat observes that Golden Kamuy is now pandering to its yaoi fanbase, and the dick jokes have returned in the form of mushroom sight gags. Kat breaks down the latest epis...

Meanwhile, the actual Girls in Twilight get up to some very graceful upskirts and renaming themselves after Apple personal assistants. Meanwhile, Golden Kamuy goes full “bara” in a sea otter-fueled orgy worthy of the craziest shenanigans this show has seen.

This episode Kat was a bit under the weather, but she powered through it to deliver your anime fix! We talked about the flaws of computer CD slot design and sneaky marketing tricks in the latest episode of The Girl in Twilight. Golden Kamuy gave us beary bad nightmares and fleshed out another of its side-characters with Ogata’s incredible backstory, which led us into a discussion of the psychology of psychopaths. We warned the listeners about the perils of listening to Evanescence as pre-game hype mu...

This week Doug & Kirill pisses off Bcom, which is something you should never do. The Girls in Beach Episode sets up Chloe’s arc, which tells you to stop playing mobile games and pursue true satisfaction. However, Bcom just pulled Ishtar in Fate Grand/Order, and knows gacha happiness is more gratifying than actual human empathy. Golden Kamuy gives us another great episode exploring Tanigaki’s past, which was almost too perfect. Kat then gives an incredibly long, but in d...

This week we added a new section at the beginning of the podcast, because we felt we should embrace the nonsense a little more. Meanwhile, in the world of anime, Doug and Kirill learned that Dan Aykroyd hates it when you waste food. We discover more than we ever wanted to know about twin conventions in our discussion of The Girl in Twilight.

We chat about Apple Bieber’s Harry Botoms in Double Decker. Then we move on to the hellscape that is avoiding terrible last names via marriage, and also crazed bloodthirsty rabbits from Monty Python with The Girl in Twilight. Golden Kamuy tries to go one episode without a million blatant dick jokes, so predictably Leo and Kat don’t love it. We reminisce about our own experiences with cringy confessions in response to Sakuta’s embarrassing moment in Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Kat’s...

We learn that Doug is an asshole, and that the show’s animators put all of their effort into lip-licking with episode 4 of Doug and Kirill. That’s followed up by cowgirls in Twilight, with an episode set in America in the time of Ii Naosuke…which we’ll explain. Golden Kamuy introduces a very goofy version of a legendary Japanese weapons designer, who frontal-lobeless Tsurumi pushes to embrace his weapons of mass destruction. Leo was also inspired to become a gigolo. In Run With the Wind, we...

Then we get into anime about girls whose personalities we don’t quite understand, before moving into two long running shows that we totally didn’t catch up on.

For Angolmois, Kat breaks down the anime girl hierarchy for Bcom, explaining that “the hot useless girl comes first.” The final episode of Sirius the Jaeger reveals that the true power of the Ark was to contain the power of John Travolta’s sparkly disco hot pants from destroying humanity as we know it. No…seriously. During the Banana Fish review, Leo’s roommate Bob makes a surprise solo debut with his take on “Can You Feel the...

Sirius the Jaeger brought us zombie vampire flame throwing knights, but then threw them away as fast as they appeared. Leo decides that Banana Fish is getting too serious to make jokes about…and then we proceed to do nothing but joke about it.

We recap the events leading up to the current showdown in Angolmois and discuss Teruhi’s creepy Kuchii kisses. While talking about Sirius the Jaeger, we predict the existence of a show called Re:Sirius within the next year, and then decry the demise of eBay in Banana Fish.

Our discussion about Free! got us sidetracked into a bet about who would better survive the world’s hottest curry in New York City, Kat or Bcom. Spoiler alert: Bcom would die. Kat was shocked by Ryouko’s take-charge attitude in Sirius the Jaeger.

We learned that Karen from Revue Starlight can run around Tokyo for hours and still be perfectly fine because of the power of friendship.

Then, we transition into a marathon segment where we absolutely lose our minds describing the final two episodes of Gurren Laga…I mean, Darling in The FranXX. It was worth covering all 24 episodes just for this final segment!

Golden Kamuy decided to finish off its season by giving Asirpa a lecture about gentlemanly dicks and announcing a season 2 slated for October.

This week is pretty laid back. It’s all about giving people massages, finding true love, and letting bayonets come inside your perverted little hearts. A highlight of this week’s podcast were two Special Episodes we covered, for Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Darling in the FranXX, which were both very much worth watching, but for entirely different reasons. Golden Kamuy continues to be obsessed with Gleaming Boners, but only slightly more than Steins;Gate 0 was obsessed with fondling Moeka’s breasts, to distra...

This week is all about boners of all kinds. Whether it be the various murder boners that Golden Kamuy seems to love, or Reinhard's boner for Kircheis in Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Or maybe it's Bcom's boner for young Gure in Yotsuiro Biyori or Dr. Frank's boner for the Klaxosaur Princess. Or perhaps its Julia’s boner for a 12-year-old boy in Doreiku or Hanako’s boner for shipping her boyfriend in her yaoi Wotakoi fantasies.

It’s midseason, and that means it’s time for midseason cuts, so stick around for that discussion right at the end of the podcast, because it’s a very interesting one. Otherwise, these two weeks of anime had some interesting twists and turns, with Mahou Shoujo Ore in particular leaving Bcom and Leo asking Mahou Shoujo “¿Por qué?“ Golden Kamuy got a hard-on for hunting wolves, while Yotsuiro Biyori showed us its lady boner (kind of) for its pretty boys and also exposed picky eaters for t...

This episode clocked in a bit longer than we expected, at just under 3 hours, because we dove deep into these shows looking to give you the best rundowns and insights possible. Honestly though, it’s really because we spent like 25 minutes on Doreiku. I don’t think there’s ever been a show covered by this podcast which the hosts disagreed on more strongly.

Kat and Leo are craving more Ramens, but Bcom’s not so sure. Ito Junji concludes with two absurdist comedy episodes with a special appearance by the Kool-Aid man.

The Mitsuboshi Colors cracked us up for two more fun-filled final episodes. Mercifully, Skilled Teaser Takagi-san ended…finally, though Kat still has some choice words for its conclusion.

While some shows stumbled a bit, like Kokkoku and Skilled Teaser Takagi-san, others really took off like Sora Yori and Violet Evergarden.
