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.
In The Wrap-Up, all of our contributors get to shine a spotlight on the show they thought to be the very best of the past few weeks, as well as reflect back on the preview to see which shows let us down the most. When you watch currently airing anime or tokusatsu, eventually the question will rise which of these shows can rank amongst the medium’s true classics. Regardless of who covered what, this is where we single out the cream of the crop, and decide which shows from the past season deserve to stand the test of time.
It’s strange times in the anime world as we try to do first looks, final thoughts, and Fall 2021 season previews in one single episode.
In Jel’s absence, the crew chats about this season’s usual anime lineup and sneaks in some Kamen Rider talk.
In addition to our regularly scheduled anime, we chat about Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time and the debut of Fena: Pirate Princess.
Anime might not be good this season, but at least it’s… interesting? We continue to analyze the shows we are watching, including the previously impossible concept of a bad baseball episode.
We discuss a few new shows trickling in while coming to terms with the shows we’re watching this season, including possibly hitting the backlog.
For unexplained reasons, an ordinary Japanese high school has been pulled into another dimension, with 36 seniors still inside. What’s more, some of them have developed unusual superpowers.Thinking the school is in danger of falling into anarchy, a small group take it upon themselves to govern the rest of students.
We talk about a lot of shows we probably will not be watching by next episode, but it’s not all bad, right? …right???
We do our best to preview the Summer 2021 anime season, but things go off the rails as we try to find shows we want to talk about.
