On this episode join the club as hosts Dennis, Ed, and Kate discuss Goku Midnight Eye, and this title was picked thanks to a mysterious Ko-Fi benefactor of our own! Being another cyberpunk, hardboiled detective series directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, you should already know what to expect. Fun action, gorgeous and terrifying women, pure evil baddies, and just overall weirdness. And the one question that just kept popping into our heads during the discussion: why does Goku not wear a shirt?

On this episode, join Ed, Kate, Karen, Dennis, and Eron from Riot Games as we talk about episodes 14-17 of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone complex. This batch is all about greed, as a hit is put out on a billionaire, selling military secrets, and blackmailing the mafia. Fem uses coins for bullets (aka Cash the Stampede). We still get to bask in Olympic fever with Zaitsev, the silver medalist boxer from the Paralympics. And Aramaki's old flame has to booby trap a wine bank, Home Alone style. But the worst of it all? Something is up with the Tachikoma.

On this episode, join hosts Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and first time special guest Jessie as we discuss the first four episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. For listeners during the early years, this one has been a long time coming, so we are finally glad to start covering this one now. And even though this came out over 20 years ago, it still feels relevant to topics to today. So watch out for those cyber criminals, as we discuss robot kinks, film nerds, lots of Togusa, that one booty-shot of the Major, and getting to know a bit of Jessie's anime history!

For this batch, there's some more group dynamics with some Eledore & Michel development, possible new ship forming while others are breaking, checking out of the Hotel Casablanca, frozen tundra onsen, the worst time to confess, it's just a letter, and the burden of consequence.

On this episode, join hosts Dennis, Diana, Ed, Karen, Kate, and returning guest Mike Lee as we discuss Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, episodes 1-4. As we return to the Universal Century and the One Year War, of course we had to get some experts here with Diana and Mike. Other topics include folding chairs in space, Gundam character types, why Karen is great, Earth Federation ranks, some rough Zeon hair, Waymo for Gundams, and a lot more. Unfortunately, the beginning of this episode suffers for some mic issues, but it is eventually remedied before we get into the main discussion. So just bear with it for the first 30 minutes if you can, or skip to the production notes chapter.

Join hosts Dennis, Kate, Ed, and Karen for the first of our Kawajiri double feature for October, with Demon City Shinjuku. As a ten-year deadline to open a demon portal draws near, it's up to a young man with psychic powers and kendo skills named Kyoya and the president's daughter Sayaka to save the world. But they'll need more help from a few folks they meet along the way. If Shinjuku is already taken over by demons, why are humans still living there? We also talk about the dub accents for this one, talk no jutsu working, a bunch of Star Wars references, and how to survive horror movies.

It's the final episode for His and Her Circumstances! Join hosts Dennis and Ed plus returning guests Rishon and Sanjay for the finale! Tonami's revenge hits a snag, the play keeps hitting multiple roadblocks but can avoid them thanks to Yukino's quick thinking, Arima's negative side comes out in full force even with Asaba trying to check in on him, and we get a cute side story featuring the little sisters. And while it all leads to what is ultimately a disappointing final episode, it's more about the journey there, right?

It's a stacked podcast panel for the first of six podcast episodes for His & Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano). Join hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, Karen, Caitlin, and returning guests Sanjay, and Rishon. High school drama & romance, faking it til you're making it, deep seeded traumas, and the pressures of being young--these are just some of the many topics we cover, including a not so brief production history talk, music stingers, being your true self, and one of the quickest enemies to lovers episode count (even though it was mostly one sided). So make sure you're listening to this podcast in a well-lit room!

On this episode, the club jumps into their first foray with City Hunter, as no one on the podcast is that familiar with the series. Join Dennis, Ed, Kate, and returning guests Pat of The Pat Chat podcast & Chika from the award winning Shoujo Sundae Podcast, as we cover City Hunter Movie 1: .357 Magnum. Ryo Saeba's pervertedness is cranked to eleven, as a famed pianist is caught in a cold war between East and West Gariela. The action is intense, the music is bopping, the bullets are flying, and Kaori's hammers are pounding (Ryo Saeba's head that is). The first of three movies we're covering, come hang with us for a bit in the mean streets of Tokyo.

On this episode of the podcast, join Ed, Sam, Dennis, & Karen for their discussion about 1989's Wrath of the Ninja: The Yotoden Movie. It's actually a compilation film based on a three episode OVA series. Talking points include how three ninjas come together, ninja names might be hard to remember but ninja powers aren't, Nobunaga's anti-Buddha stance, crossing the streams, and comparing this to Ninja Scrolll but in a good way.

On this episode, join club hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, Karen, and returning host Caitlin to discuss 1989's Assemble Insert! Only one thing can stop this mecha gang from wrecking Tokyo: super strong idol singer Maron Namikaze, that's who. See her rise to the top of the charts and her fanbase's hearts. Just watch your surroundings, because there's a lot of collateral damage in this one. It's enough paperwork and phone call complaints to make the chief cry. But as long as there's a nearby video rental store and a morning pick-me-up energy drink, the Anti-Demon Seed brigade is on the case.
