Episodes
This week we finish off a sign of affection. But first, we catch up on our real lives and talk about lounging by the pool, anime, and vocaloids. You know, normal stuff.
In A Sign of Affection we say farewell to all our friends (and Oushi). As we close the book on probably our most straightforward romance series to date. It’s a good one!
Next week we’re back in the Chihayafuru mines, digging into season 3!
We arrive at our second to last Sign of Affection episode. But first, we catch up, IRL Sarah is back from her vacation and managed not to get fried! Meanwhile Joe has watched some anime and done pretty much nothing else.
In a sign of affection we get into our beloved side character drama. Hey, wouldn’t it suck if you liked your friend but they were into someone else? Well imagine that happened for four different people. At least Rin...
Spoilers for Jurassic World Rebirth, We finish off the Jurassic Park movies. Mutants, Boats, video game objectives. This movie has a lot going on but also not much. For the first time we have slightly diverging opinions too! Join us for the final JP cinema episode!
We jump to three episodes this week! But first, Sarah and Joe had pretty mild weeks. Not much going on it seems so we talk about a bunch of random stuff.
In A Sign of Affection, Yuki and Itsuomi take the plunge! Wow! So quick! And we get what seems like an end-of-show credit sequence on episode 6, so that’s pretty weird. There is more to this show for sure, we gotta learn like backstories and stuff. But with only 5 episodes left, ho...
We watch the sixth Jurassic Park movie. This movie boldly asks the question, what if Jurassic Park wasn't really about Dinosaurs at all? A question no one asked and doesn't need to be answered. But here we are. Almost at the end. Please be at the end.
We’re return this week for episodes 3 and 4. But first, Sarah and Joe catch up on the trials of social drinking as not so outgoing folks.
In a sign of affection we go to Costo. Yuki and Itsuomi are hitting it off pretty well even though everyone thinks he’s weird and distant. It’s actually going fine. Don’t worry about it. Oushi is worried about it, but we don’t really like him so who cares. Surely no drama will happen and everythi...
We watch the fifth installment in the Jurassic Park cinematic franchise. In this one, our heroes must return to dinosaur island to try to re-classify the dinosaurs as a protected species, but it turns out the corporate upstarts want to really use the dinosaurs for profit and...oh I'm sorry I was reading my Lost World notes. In this one the island blows up.
This week we start a brand new show! But first, Sarah and Joe catch up on our lives. Joe has now watched both Vampire Hunter D movies while Sarah showed her mom Attack on Titan.
Then we get into our new show a Sign of Affection! We meet Yuki, a college kid who starts to catch some feelings for the tall and mysterious Itsuomi. Yuki, who is deaf, must put herself out there to get his attention! And she makes tons of progress compared...
We’ve done it! Two seasons down, one to go. Join us for the season 2 finale of Chihayafuru!
In our real lives, Joe is enrolling in the wrong language classes while Sarah is mourning the end of a notably non-romantic season of Love Island.
In Chihayafuru, Mizusawa cleans up the individual tournament, Taichi finally ranks up, and Shinobu takes a rare L. Oh and also we learn that maybe Arata is thinking about Chihaya constantly. Like al...
We're back again, one away from the end of the season. But first, we catch up on the latest news from us. Sarah watched the latest Jurassic Park and it was...uh...a movie. Joe meanwhile has watched two good animated movies: Kpop Demon Hunters and Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. I can tell you who had the better time.
In Chihayafuru, we continue on to the individuals tournament! Chihaya is injured but that won't stop her. Sh...
We enter the sequel phase of our Jurassic Park watch through with Jurassic World 2015. Years later, we return to dinosaur island to explore a new park. We got Chris Pratt, a super dino, bizarre subplots, a bunch of product placement, and an old dino friend. Surely nothing will go wrong this time right?
We return to our final team game episodes. But first we catch up on our lives. Joe went to a wedding and Sarah was in a car accident?!
In Chihayafuru we start off strong with… a recap episode. But after that we dive right back into the team game finals. Will Chihaya beat this mystery girl? Will Taichu finally have some luck? Will Nishida do anything interesting? Come watch it with us!
We hit the season 2 midpoint! IRL, Joe has finally finished some Gundam and gets to talk about it, while Sarah has warmed up to her puppy, despite the cord chewing.
In Chihayafuru, we continue in team play. First we finish our game against Megumu and the all girls school. Chihaya’s game is pretty back and forth, but don’t worry about Tsutomu might clutch it out! Then we move on to the finals and meet Fujisaki, a team with the worst ...
This week we get revenge on the nerds. But first, Joe has finished watching Sakamoto days and Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd gig and was down on both. Sarah meanwhile is all in on Love Island as her opinion is flipping for some contestants. How spicy!
In Chihayafuru, the team squares off against the quiz bowl champs. Then we get some character stuff for our own lovable nerd, Tsutomu. Then we finish up with part one of our game against t...
We’re back this week after taking a week off from last week. Instead we had our JP3 coverage so I hope you enjoyed that! Irl, Joe was spending time with his dad and Sarah was at a con!
In Chihayafuru, we get one, solitary episode where we just hangout with characters and then it’s right back into tournament mode. We play against some international students and then we get some Arata time! Finally! He’s here!!
We finally reach the end of the original Jurassic Park trilogy with 2001's Jurassic Park 3. We share our thoughts about the differing foliage and dinosaur skins and wonder if they couldn't have made a million more of these movies. But they don't, at least not for like 14 years. Next time we're in reboot territory.
We do team sports today. But first, Joe and Sarah talk about our individual lives and stuff. Lots about giving presentations and public speaking this time. Everyone's FAVORITE thing!!
Then in Chihayafuru, we’re back for more tournament action. Taichi is getting targeted hard by the next opponent and then we must contend with Retro’s secret weapon…which the show totally doesn’t forget about, right? We all know what it is? The secret ...
We get back to the mat this week with Chihayafuru S2. Second season is here! IRL, Joe is playing Kotor II and Sarah had fun times with her coworkers.
We start off season 2 with two no characters, ones an icon and the other we both dislike. Can you guess which is which? As for the rest of the characters we pick off basically where they ended last season, Taichi is sad boy, Chihaya is clueless, and the rest are also there. Here’s hopi...
We say au revoir to revolutionary France this week as we send off the Rose of Versailles with the 2025 movie! But first, we talk about… the omegaverse??
We’re really on one today. Then we watch the movie and it’s, uh, different than the show. More musical, more tearful, more…uh….shallow. Come check it out!
Next time it’s back to Chihayafuru.
We’ve done it, we’ve reached the end of The Rose of Versailles, but just the beginning of the French Revolution. It’s been a long and really great series that both of us have enjoyed watching. But like our friends Oscar and Andre, eventually all good things must come to an end. What the future holds is anyone’s guess… Except it’s not a guess for us because next week we are going to dip our toe one final time to watch the 2025 Studi...
