In the Revue Spotlight (Anime Awards 2018)

March 17, 2019 • 219 mins
Today, Cocoa☆Disaster fights through harsh climates and harsher schedules in order to finally bring the the Anime of the Year Awards for 2018! For such a strong year of anime, we couldn't possibly do it justice with just two hosts, so we also had to bring back Jordan in order to talk through all of 2018's highlights. With everyone discussing their picks and sharing opinions, the show ended up being a bit long, but I think that only...

Normal American Boy Apple Bieber (Fall 2018 Season Review)

January 27, 2019 • 111 mins
Today, Cocoa☆Disaster closes out its seasonal coverage of 2018 with a look back at the fall season! While none of these shows were perfect, many of them were earnest and had strong messages behind them that helped us fall in love with them. There were also some real dumb as hell action shows that we couldn't look away from! The final season of 2018 was a fun one, and we're here to count down everything we watched, as well as some e...

Matching "Who Saved Who" Bumper Stickers (Ping Pong the Animation | Single Serving)

December 9, 2018 • 146 mins
Today, real life friend of the show heptameride (@heptameride on Twitter) takes me to the court in order to discuss Masaaki Yuasa's 2014 adaptation of Ping Pong! A relatively unknown series to Western anime fans, Ping Pong strikes a good balance between directorial style and capturing the aesthetic of the original manga in order to create a fascinating and exhilarating story about heroes, friendship and table tennis. Let's make it ...

Dhampir 2000 (Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust | Single Serving)

October 31, 2018 • 125 mins
Today, we're joined by phantom of the night Hobo (@Hobotron2000 on Twitter) for a hair-raising look into the 2000 film Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust! Based on a long-running novel series, Bloodlust adapts the third adventure of the mysterious dhampir D and does a good job at setting a spooky, unsettling tone throughout its runtime! It's got strong action scenes and surprisingly good character development for such a sparse script, and...

October 14, 2018 • 113 mins
Today on Cocoa☆Disaster, anime is the one thing we're reminiscing about from the summer! While the season wasn't looking as hot as the weather was, by the end we came a way with a number of big surprises, some fun distractions and only a couple of duds. So join us as we talk our way through the latest season of anime, discuss the most millennial anime characters, and more! Timestamps: 0:50 - Introduction 1:59 - The News 8:34 - Pla...

Chimp My Ride (Speed Racer 2008 | Single Serving)

September 9, 2018 • 118 mins
Today, Jay (@TheJayOfSpade on Twitter) and FutureFriend (@FutureFriendLP on Twitter) rejoin the cast to discuss the oft-belied but fondly remembered Speed Racer movie from 2008! While the Wachowskis may have produced a flop that failed to impress in its time, more recently articles and discussions have popped up in defense of this movie, saying it was ahead of its time and worth a re-examine. And with no one asking for it, we decid...

Eat the Rich (Eccentric Family 1&2 | Single Serving)

August 5, 2018 • 159 mins
Today, qb (@queuebae on Twitter) once again adds his voice to a special Single Serving episode of Cocoa☆Disaster! This time, we're talking about Eccentric Family from 2013, as well as its 2017 sequel. Join us as we explore a fantastical version of Kyoto where tanuki roam among men, tengu fly the skies and nothing is ever boring! It's a very interesting and fascinating show that doesn't get a lot of attention, so the hope with this ...

Very few dropped shows among our list, there were plenty of fun surprises, earnest stories and wacky comedy beats that we couldn't help but love.

Planet With, Season Without (Summer 2018 Season Preview)

July 1, 2018 • 77 mins
Today, Cocoa☆Disaster cools off this summer with a lukewarm season! It's sad to say, but the content for this season of anime seems awfully light. However, that can't stop us! Xain and I are here to try and suss out what might be worth checking out. We also discuss video game releases, new toys on the horizon, and have a little fun in a breezy preview episode!

All In, Everyone Folds (Kakegurui | Single Serving)

June 3, 2018 • 201 mins
Today, DeviousVacuum joins the show to discuss the positively sexy 2017 psychological thriller Kakegurui! A very extreme adaptation of a relatively popular young adult manga, Kakegurui is a dive into insanity in regards to gambling and what it truly means to bet everything. Amidst its fanservice and sexuality, there's a surprising amount of heart in the way that the series builds its world and characters, and the things it wants to...

Xain and I came out of winter with a lot of good and interesting shows to talk about, even if there were a few clunkers along the way. As we discuss last season's bounty we also take a bit of time to talk about video games, the Babymetal graphic novel, and some hot ideas for a Universal cinematic universe! ...

Stylish Rank Dull (Devil May Cry | Single Serving)

March 6, 2018 • 194 mins
Today, Sid joins us on Cocoa☆Disaster to discuss the 2007 tie-in to a popular franchise, Devil May Cry the Animated Series! Made in conjunction with DMC4 as a way to get fans excited for the upcoming game, Devil May Cry the Animated Series awkwardly tries to plant itself within the series timeline as well as do its own thing, and clumsily fails to accomplish either goal. What is it that makes this particular video game conversion s...

The Major Component (Ghost in the Shell 1995 vs 2017 | Single Serving)

December 3, 2017 • 173 mins
Today, Jay (@TheJayOfSpade on Twitter) and FutureFriend (@FutureFriendLP on Twitter) join me to talk about two sides of the same coin: the earliest and latest movie adaptations of Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell! The first is often held up as one of the finest pieces of animation, and the second was largely lambasted for, among other things, not being able to live up to the original movie. But is this ire justified? Is there s...
