Dramatic title aside, I’ve come to appreciate these posts as a way of leaving behind a definitive footprint. My feelings for these may change as time passes but here and now in 2023, this is what I had to say about anime.
Iro looks back on the media of 2023 and considers what he expected to get and what he wanted to get.
It’s our last episode of 2023 and we give our final thoughts on the Fall season.
Is Scott Pilgrim anime? Is Jem and the Holograms anime? You can just give this podcast to men and they will be thrilled.
We get into a spirited discussion about the Gridman Universe movie and talk about the latest news of bad working conditions at MAPPA, this time direct from the CEO’s mouth.
We talk about the anime we’re still watching, catch up on Kamen Rider coming and going, and get into a lengthy discussion about boring anime protagonists. Yeah, it’s that kind of season.
Smoking cats aside, the number of shows we’re watching this season is starting to dwindle. Is it time to hit the backlog?
We talk about more new shows, go in-depth on Shin Kamen Rider, and Iro resists a possible career as an isekai light novel writer.
It’s our 11th anniversary and we get a little nostalgic, daring to ask if anime is better or worse than it was in 2013. This might not be the best anime season to ask that question, but hey, we did find some things to watch!
2021 was an unbelievably strong year with some legitimate generational contenders. I look back on the year and for as much shit as I love to give anime (and rightfully so sometimes), this year also saw a ton of creativity and artistic vision at work. Join me as I go through the highs (and lows) of the anime I watched in 2021.
We’ve done this for another year somehow, and Iro’s back to give a brief look at the shows he thinks are worth mentioning. There’s more than usual this time!
It is time once again to look back at the very GLORIO anime that aired in 2021, starting with a list of my favorite anime moments.
With another season in the books, we discuss the diminishing returns from our favorite (?) shows of the Winter 2021 anime season.
We pay our respects to the 2021 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, Jel catches up with Jujutsu Kaisen, and chat about whatever shows we’re still watching.
We drop a few of our regular shows, Jel talks about the Given movie, and Iro threatens to steal your significant other.
A surprising number of shows have survived the first month of the season, and we’re going to talk about them all.
Like many people, this year has been rather busy for me for a variety of reasons both personal and practical. So rather than my usual arbitrary awards show with bespoke categories, I’ll just be going through all the anime I watched in 2020 in chronological order and giving each one the words I think they deserve, for either good or ill.
Halfway through the season we welcome back Gal and Dino, catch up on some other anime trash we haven’t discussed in a while, and check in for another Kamen Rider update.
We are still talking about Great Pretender somehow (thanks Netflix), discussing the anime versus the game with Magatsu Wahrheit Zuerst, and we finally get off some Genshin Impact takes.
Link dump incoming.
