After that, the two hosts wrap up this episode by talking about the buddy cop fantasy show Cop Craft and elaborate on why its surprisingly forward discussion of topics like immigration, racism and contemporary politics is handled better than they would have expected.
John kicks off this episode by taking a look at the isekai comedy series “Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?” and explains why the show might try to follow in Konosuba’s footsteps but ends up being a rather run-of-the-mill offering in that particular genre. After that, the hosts review the newest adaption of the popular manga “Fruits Basket” and reveal why there is more substance to this romantic comedy than the plot summary might suggest. Finally, the team wraps up this round of reviews with “Lord El-Melloi II’s Case Files: Rail Zeppelin Grace note” and discuss if this entry in the Fate universe is a proper continuation of one of their favorite character stories from Fate/Zero.
In this episode the hosts unchain the power of SCIENCE! First John takes a stab at the scientific side of the Raildex Cinematic Universe and struggles to find anything interesting in what A Certain Scientific Accelerator says or does. Then the gang joins a bunch of high school kids on their involuntary trip into deep space and discusses why Astra Lost in Space is not only a riveting space adventure, but also an emotionally rewarding character drama. Last but most definitely not least, the two hosts gush about all the epic moments from the assumed series finale of one of their favorite Anime franchises: Senki Zesshō Symphogear XV.
The hosts unleash their romantic side and talk about three hot blooded Anime to light up the incoming cold winter nights. First CC elaborates on why O Maidens in Your Savage Season‘s surprisingly open and honest take on the pitfalls of five girls’ developing sexuality, is a heartfelt tale worth to be told. Following that, John stays on the high school romance train and reviews Given, a gay love story about music, loss and the importance of opening your heart to the people who care about you the most. Last but not least the gang talks about Promare, the fiery new movie from Studio Trigger’s Hiroyuki Imaishi, and discuss why this face-melting action extravaganza is a must-see experience.
On their biggest episode yet, the hosts get back into their groove by quickly summing up their experiences at New York Comic Con 2019. Then they tackle all the fresh new premieres from Fall Season in the Sneak Peek to tell you what’s hot and what’s not. Last but not least, they get their asses to Mars and discuss the new Anime by acclaimed director Shinichiro Watanabe and explain why the musical road to success for Carole & Tuesday is a truly optimistic tale everyone should let into their heart.
On this gigantic episode of titanic proportions, the hosts kick things off by quickly talking about the shows that didn’t make the cut in the Chop ‘n’ Drop. Then they equip their maneuver gear, take to the skies and chronicle all the many important events of Attack on Titan Season 3. Last but not least, they pick their favorite spring series in Best of the Season.
The hosts try to break free from their strings by dismantling the absurd plot machinations and undercooked characters of the clownishly rushed horror action show Karakuri Circus. After that they go back to the very beginning of the Gundam franchise and discuss how Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin expertly chronicles the rise of one of the most iconic characters from that franchise: Char Aznable.
CC dives back into the Isekai hole, unleashes the full potential of his Hate Skill Tree and tears the rancid Dumpster Fire that is The Rising of the Shield Hero to shreds. Then he and John move on to more golden pastures and discuss the fifth chapter of one of their favorite Anime franchises: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
