This week we are talking about Aharen is Indecipherable Season 1 as recommended by Jeb. And it is a show that is certainly a slow burn to say the least. And by that we mean if you go by the 3 episode rule for anime then you will certainly pass this one by as it takes about 5 episodes to really grab you. That is not to say that those first few episodes are not entertaining in their own way, just that they are not enough to grab you ...

This week we are talking about By the Grave of Gods Season 2 as recommended by Jeb. And this week it was a nice revisit for us and a break for what we have been watching. The show overall was solid and picked up right where season 1 left off so if you are watching the series all together at the same time. That being said the story was pretty straight forward no surprises or anything like that but we did have some questions that we ...

This week are talking about Akudama Drive and honestly for us it was not that great of a show. It was not horrible but it also was not great. This anime follows a group of criminals that all literally named after what their crime or specialty is, like Courier, Brawler, Doctor, Hacker. Each character has a unique design and video game-like feel which is not to surprising since one of the creators worked for a game company. But one o...

This week we are talking about Vexations of a Shut-in Vampire Princess which was a recommendation from Shut In Jeb. And it was an interesting choice. The anime overall was enjoyable for both of us. But at the same time there were several questions that we had for most of the show that we watched and it was not something that we could look over. We dive into things that are not fully explained by the anime and it left Jack with a ba...

This week we are talking about Anime-Gataris which was a recommendation from Major Montana. Was in so many words a love story to the fans of Anime. It hits all the thoughts and lingo that we usually use as well as habits that we use as well when it comes to anime. They in essence called us all out and at the same time broke the 4th wall all to have fun. That being said it was not without it's drawback and they were there for su...

This week we are talking about Temple which was a recommendation from Jeb. It was a chaotic ride that also was a fan service heavy show. We dove into Akemitsu’s painful attempts to stay pure while surrounded by anime’s worst temptations, plus the sheer craziness of his dad racking up a 20 million yen debt just so he can try and get a global harem. In the end it was an anime that we laughed at, but because of the chaos we ended rew...

This week we dive into Rokudo Bad Girls. The story is about a bullied underdog Rokudo who inherits a magic scroll that makes every bad girl, fall head over heels for him any time he’s near. We go into detail about the show and the bold‑lined animation style, and we compare Roku’s nonstop crying to the energy of Tokyo Revengers, we also wonder whether his shift from pushover to protector ever really sticks. In the end this show onl...

In this episode we dive headfirst into 86’s brutal drone war nonsense. The Republic claims a “bloodless conflict,” but it’s really run on invisible 86ers shoved into glass-cannon mechs. We chat about Lena’s efforts to bring hope to Shin and his crew, and what this anime reminds us of in terms of undertones that were not so subtle. We also touch on Shin’s psychic telepathy angle and that slow-burn connection between him and Lena. S...

This week is all about I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time with just Jack. Now the story is something that is pretty solid and it had all the makings of a great show. The story was easy enough to follow and it did focus on what the title exactly is and it really highlights her struggles. But also at the same time there is no real depth to some of it and honestly you are left with far more que...

This week is all about Farming Life in Another World. Which was a recommendation. It was a nice change of pace from last weeks choice it had it's funny moments and time where it was entertaining but overall it was a show that was very middling for us. Where the faults just seemed to drag it down. 

Next Week's Pick: "I May Be a Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time"

This week is all about Witch Hunter Robin with just Jack. The story is about a young pyrokinetic witch working for Solomon. For Jack this is trip down memory lane and for him it was honestly best left there. The lack of certain plot point and the plot holes and slow pacing made it a tough rewatch. While once a personal favorite.

In this episode, we talked all about Berserk Of Gluttony Which was a recommendation from Jeb. We touch on Fate’s gluttony skill, which causes hunger that does not end and it also absorbs the stats and abilities of those he kills monsters and humans alike. The show had a fair number of positive points but it also a decent number of negative points as well.

This week we continue with Gate part 2 an isekai that take a different approach to the usually genre. And just like part 1 it did not disappoint at all. We get some resolutions that we were hoping for. The story progressed in a way that we predicted, it answered most of our questions and gave us a somewhat of an ending. All in all this is a story that is worth a watch just not if you are new to the genre.

Next Week's Pick: "Ber...

In this episode we dive into Gate part 1 an isekai that take a different approach to the usually genre and it was a recommendation from "Elf Daddy Girl Issues" and "Danner536". This anime certainly doesn't pull it's punches on how things would likely go when a you pit medieval against modern military dishing out some “f around and find out” pretty much through the whole story. The Character development and story was solid for the ...

This week is a solo week as Rick is out sick and Jack dives into I'm Quitting Heroing. Thank you Goose for the recommendation! This anime changes up the normal anime narrative for Hero style anime in that rather then a journey to defeat th Demon lord our MC Leo is trying to join them. But that is just the start of it. This anime is well worth the watch and is has some comedic moments but it was still an overall solid story. So if ...

This week we get back into the goblin slaying world of Goblin Slayer. This season while our MC is still the main focal point we start to learn more about the others that are with him. We also go to see another side of him in more ways than 1. Add in the world building that they did and this season really helps lay out the foundation for more adventures and solid 3rd season should it ever come.

Next Week's Pick: "I'm Quitting He...

This week we dive into the second season of Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. The story largely just continues on with Maple and her guild, Maple Tree, continue exploring new levels and content in the game they play, New World Online. Maple continues to stick to her strategy of only maxing out her defense stat, continually stumbling upon overpowered, game-breaking skills that baffle the game's developer...

In this episode, we talked all about Code Geass Season 2. We dug into how it picks up right after the Season 1 cliffhanger, with Lelouch living a normal school life until his memories come back and he jumps right back into leading the Black Knights. Things quickly go from a local rebellion to full-blown global war. We also revisited out discussion on how Lelouch’s Geass works, especially its limits as a result of that some of that ...

In this episode, we discussed Season 1 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. And while we spent the episode mostly talking about the show and how it had and amazing story with some great writing. We also pointed out a couple of flaws along with a discussion about the Geass power's limits also got pretty heated and went way off into hypotheticals, maybe derailing things a bit. And the biggest negative we both agreed on? That inc...
