This week we are talking about Temple which was a recommendation from Jeb. It was a chaotic ride that also was a fan service heavy show. We dove into Akemitsu’s painful attempts to stay pure while surrounded by anime’s worst temptations, plus the sheer craziness of his dad racking up a 20 million yen debt just so he can try and get a global harem. In the end it was an anime that we laughed at, but because of the chaos we ended rewinding way more than usual just to catch what the hell was happeni...

This week we dive into Rokudo Bad Girls. The story is about a bullied underdog Rokudo who inherits a magic scroll that makes every bad girl, fall head over heels for him any time he’s near. We go into detail about the show and the bold‑lined animation style, and we compare Roku’s nonstop crying to the energy of Tokyo Revengers, we also wonder whether his shift from pushover to protector ever really sticks. In the end this show only really has surface‑level fun with a dash of character growth, ev...

In this episode we dive headfirst into 86 ’s brutal drone war nonsense. The Republic claims a “bloodless conflict,” but it’s really run on invisible 86ers shoved into glass-cannon mechs. We chat about Lena’s efforts to bring hope to Shin and his crew, and what this anime reminds us of in terms of undertones that were not so subtle. We also touch on Shin’s psychic telepathy angle and that slow-burn connection between him and Lena. Sure, the pacing stumbles with flashbacks on repeat and a few loos...

This week is all about I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time with just Jack. Now the story is something that is pretty solid and it had all the makings of a great show. The story was easy enough to follow and it did focus on what the title exactly is and it really highlights her struggles. But also at the same time there is no real depth to some of it and honestly you are left with far more questions then what you are given answers too leaving you with a open...

This week is all about Farming Life in Another World . Which was a recommendation. It was a nice change of pace from last weeks choice it had it's funny moments and time where it was entertaining but overall it was a show that was very middling for us.

This week is all about Witch Hunter Robin with just Jack. The story is about a young pyrokinetic witch working for Solomon. For Jack this is trip down memory lane and for him it was honestly best left there. The lack of certain plot point and the plot holes and slow pacing made it a tough rewatch. While once a personal favorite. Next Week's Pick: "Farming Life In Another World" Have you had the chance to watch Witch Hunter Robin or any of our previous selections? We’d love to hear your thoughts ...

In this episode, we talked all about Berserk Of Gluttony Which was a recommendation from Jeb. We touch on Fate’s gluttony skill, which causes hunger that does not end and it also absorbs the stats and abilities of those he kills monsters and humans alike. The show had a fair number of positive points but it also a decent number of negative points as well. Next Week's Pick: "Witch Hunter Robin" Have you had the chance to watch Berserk Of Gluttony or any of our previous selections? We’d love to he...

This week we continue with Gate part 2 an isekai that take a different approach to the usually genre. And just like part 1 it did not disappoint at all. We get some resolutions that we were hoping for. The story progressed in a way that we predicted, it answered most of our questions and gave us a somewhat of an ending. All in all this is a story that is worth a watch just not if you are new to the genre. Next Week's Pick: "Berserk of Gluttony" Have you had the chance to watch Gate Part 2 or any...

In this episode we dive into Gate part 1 an isekai that take a different approach to the usually genre and it was a recommendation from "Elf Daddy Girl Issues" and "Danner536". This anime certainly doesn't pull it's punches on how things would likely go when a you pit medieval against modern military dishing out some “f around and find out” pretty much through the whole story. The Character development and story was solid for the show and it was well worth the watch. Next Week's Pick: "Gate Part...

This week is a solo week as Rick is out sick and Jack dives into I'm Quitting Heroing . Thank you Goose for the recommendation! This anime changes up the normal anime narrative for Hero style anime in that rather then a journey to defeat th Demon lord our MC Leo is trying to join them. But that is just the start of it. This anime is well worth the watch and is has some comedic moments but it was still an overall solid story. So if you are looking for something that is unique then this may be for...

Things quickly go from a local rebellion to full-blown global war. We also revisited out discussion on how Lelouch’s Geass works, especially its limits as a result of that some of that talk got a little off-track. But overall, we both agreed Season ...

In this episode, we discussed Season 1 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion . And while we spent the episode mostly talking about the show and how it had and amazing story with some great writing. We also pointed out a couple of flaws along with a discussion about the Geass power's limits also got pretty heated and went way off into hypotheticals, maybe derailing things a bit. And the biggest negative we both agreed on? That incredibly frustrating cliffhanger ending! Next Week's Pick: "Code: ...

This week we talk about Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka and its dark twist on the magical girl genre. The story follows Asuka, a former magical girl struggling with PTSD, forced back into battle. While the show portrays trauma and military themes, the pacing, forced shifts in tone, and poor character development weaken it as a whole. We debate whether magic undermines the stakes, with Rick arguing it negates physical consequences, while Jack and CJ emphasize the psychological toll. Next Week's Pick:...

We had a blast this week diving into the comedic anime Let This Grieving Soul Retire ! It was a wild and interesting adventure filled with humor and action.

It was a Jack solo episode this week, and let’s just say… it wasn’t his favorite. The pick was inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland , but it veered into parody territory, tweaking the original tale to fit the writer’s vision. For Jack, though, it just didn’t hit the mark. The story felt bland—like it was thrown together without a strong, cohesive narrative. Definitely one he wouldn’t revisit. Next Week’s Pick: Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Are you ready for more action and intrigue? We’ll...

This twist on the usual formula offers a fresh perspective, but it’s important to note that the show deals heavily with themes of suicide, making it a thoughtful yet challenging watch. Import...
