Episode 58 - Annihilation: The Anime (Dirty Pair Feature 1: Affair on Nolandia) 0

Sep 7, 2018

On this episode, we have just a small meeting with Dennis, Ed, and Kate as we convene over Discord. After butchering the title for The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, the club tackles the main discussion for the 1985 OVA of Dirty Pair: Affair on Nolandia. As Dennis and Kate's first introduction to Dirty Pair, we see how it stacks up for those looking to jump into the classic series. There's references to other sci-fi movies and anime titles abound, as we cover the first of the three features in this release.

Episode 57 - SAAAAUUUUCEEEEERRRR~! (Dragon Half) 0

Aug 23, 2018

On this episode, Karen, Han, Ed, and Dennis meet up to discuss the cult favorite Dragon Half. We meet some crazy characters like Mink, Dick Saucer, Damarammu, Vina, the King, and many more. Violence, comedy, singing, action, romance, magic, and some fan service. It's got it all, but is it any good? You'll have to listen to find out, or watch for yourself on Crunchyroll.

Episode 56 - Manic Pixie Alien Girl (FLCL) 0

Aug 9, 2018

On this episode, Han, Garrett, Kate, Ed, and Dennis are joined by Jill, who definitely lends a helping hand with our lack of The Pillows knowledge as we discuss FLCL. After a long intro, we toss out the episode by episode discussion to go more free-form with the podcast talk. We talk things like Vespa spare parts, head trauma, trying to be mature for your age, kid bickering, Haruko's motivations, a Gainax deep dive, and trying to make as much sense of the Atomsk plot as possible. Put on those nori eyebrows, and crank up that music, because we're going on the FLCL ride.

Thanks to special guest Jill for joining the show. Follow her @ZaloraSilver.

Episode 55 - I Know Your No-Face (Spirited Away) 0

Jul 27, 2018

On this episode, special guest and non-anime fan Byram joins the crew of Dennis, Ed, and Han to talk about one of Byram's few favorite anime titles, Spirited Away. As life takes Byram further away from Los Angeles, we decide to break our norms and go with something after 2001 as a special exception. We discuss Chihiro's journey of self discovery, parental folly, lots of fantastical creatures, and of course, No Face, one of Byram's most favorite fictional characters. Don't ever forget yourself.

Thanks to special guest Byram, who you can follow on Instagram @radierase.

Episode 54 - The Mean Streets of North Seattle (Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie) 0

Jul 13, 2018

On this episode, we somehow survived the inferno known as Anime Expo. Dennis, Ed, Kate and Karen come back from being melted to discuss Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. After a blitz of news from and during AX, we go into some Street Fighter game memories, or for some, the lack thereof. We discuss how often they actually fight in the streets, Cammy's brief appearance or Cammy-O if you will, Seattle-raised Kate not being able to get over "North Seattle" being a thing, Ken's shorts, fighter bromances, what's in Ryu's bag, the famed Chun-Li vs Vega fight, the lack of Psycho Crusher, and we settle the debate of wizardry in Street Fighter.

Episode 53 - Everyone Wants the D (Vampire Hunter D) 0

Jun 29, 2018

A small group today as Dennis, Ed, Kate, and Han gather together to discuss Vampire Hunter D after a bit of a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure discussion. Not Bloodlust, the original 1985 Vampire Hunter D. We talk about the trio of D characters in D, Doris, and Dan along with Doris' most impractical battle attire, some Fist of the North Star comparisons, Greco being like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, Ray's mysterious power that only gets used once, D's sassy left hand, Dan becoming a man, Urban Vision's very dark and hard to see film version, and Cartoon Netork's edited version called "Night of the Vampire Robots."

Episode 52 - Big Cliffhanger (The Big O 3 of 3) 0

Jun 14, 2018

On this episode, Bryan Newton returns to join in on the finale for the first season of The Big O, with Karen, Garrett, Ed, Kate, and Dennis. In the final four episodes, we take an extended look at the most noir-like episode of the series so far, how missing memories and amnesia might actually affect day to day life, mobile desks, Pagan holidays, the best mech fight of the series, and that cliffhanger ending! Will we ever get to season 2? Maybe someday.

Thanks to special guest Bryan Newton for joining in. Listen to his podcast Animation Success Stories, and follow him on Twitter @DarkKingZoro.

May 31, 2018

On this holiday weekend recorded episode, we sit back and relax with Eve, Ed, Dennis, Garrett, Karen, and returning from her work inflicted exile is Caitlin, as we cover episodes 5-9 for The Big O season 1.

Episode 50 - Collateral Damage (The Big O 1 of 3) 0

May 17, 2018

On this episode, we're recording over Discord for the first time, so bear with us in a new, but not too often recurring format. We've got Dennis, Ed, Han, Garrett, and Karen here to talk about the Toonami classic, The Big O. We go over the international fan influence, is Roger actually a ladies man or does he just think he is, the fluctuating weight of Dorothy, what it's like living in Paradigm City, opening troubles, and so much more. Is Roger even a good negotiator, or is he just the city's ONLY negotiator, thus the best by default? Find out, and let us know what you think.

Episode 49 - Magic Balls (Pom Poko) 0

May 3, 2018

In our second Ghibli movie for our second anniversary month, we've got a new visitor! Mike joins the show (a different Mike than previously) along with Diana, Dennis, Ed, and Han to discuss Isao Takahata's film Pom Poko. For this review, we go over some bits regarding Japanese folklore, especially regarding one of the tanuki's prominent body features. We also discuss some of the more serious messages within the film as it also contrasts the more light-hearted tone. In memory of Isao Takahata, thank you for all emotions you have given us through your works.

It's our second anniversary, and we're honoring the late, great Isao Takahata as we go over his celebrated classic Grave of the Fireflies.

Bit of a downer in the intro as we discuss Hiromi Tsuru's passing and Nobuhiro Watsuki's arrest. The discussion does pick back up as we discuss the banned from Toonami episode "Hot Springs Planet Tenrei" including the fashion choices, fan service, villain ineptitude, and just all in all silliness of it before we get into the three-episode finale. The big fights at the end, the reveal of the mysteries behind the Galactic Leyline and Melfina, ludicrous space ship combat! What will happen to the crew of the Outlaw Star at the end?
