FAP-71 How Not to Summon a Demon Lord - Extreme Cuddles

The anime story was short and quick-paced which is exactly what it needed to be. We both felt it was good but could have been better. One drawback of it was the heavy obvious innuendos. With a second season coming out next it was definitely a nice refresher on the series in preparation for it. That being said while it was a good show the comedy was plentiful it was just lacking in comparison to the other great isekais out there. Next week's choice is a series called Blood Blockade Battlefront an...

FAP-70 Violet Evergarden - Well Worth The Emotional Roller Coaster

This was another great choice this week. And we both actually agree that it is a great series with a special and a movie. It gives you different views of the same emotion because love is not the same for every and everyone has their own story. And what really ties this all in together is the beautiful animation, great voice acting, and astounding music. Next week's choice is a series called How Not To Summon a Demon Lord. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know ...

FAP-69 BOFURI: I Don‘t Want to Get Hurt, so I‘ll Max Out My Defense - It Needed To Be Longer

This was a great choice this week. It was light-hearted, fun, and gave a slightly different viewpoint on VR games. Overall the anime was very good but at the same time, we wish it was longer and gave more information about the world and the mechanics of it the plot. It was good at 12 eps but would have been as 25 since it felt a little rushed with it being so short. Hopefully, there is a season 2. Next week's choice is a series called Violet Evergarden. Have you seen next week's choice or one of...

FAP-68 Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-Kun - It changed gears halfway through it.

This week's choice was given by @Tobiyashi067 on Twitter for this week's choice! It was a good series although it did have some shortcomings but overall, the series was really good. We both had our favorite character, and both were, for us at least, the comic relief of the series. The series also takes a more serious turn about halfway through it. But in the end, we can honestly say that we would recommend it. Next week's choice is a series called BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Ou...

FAP-67 Knights and Magic - Because It‘s His Hobby

It was a good story That was a little like an isekai but at least not in your traditional sense. The character instead of being teleported to a new world and being overpowered, he is reborn into a new world after dying and he retains his memories, at least from what we are led to believe, and takes leaps in technology. Ending with a battle between 2 people that are over the top about robots although they view them differently. Next week's choice is a series called Welcome To Demon School Iruma-k...

FAP-66 No Game No Life: Zero -It does not waste time on hitting them feels

This week's choice was recommended to us by Cat from our discord server! Unlike the series this movie is serious and it does not waste time on pulling them heartstrings. It is a great origination story about the world that we like and how Teto became the "one true god" for that world. It also can be assumed that Sora and Shiro are the reincarnations of Riku and Schwi just showing you that you even in another life and another world the 2 of them are meant to be together and they always will be to...

FAP-65 Cautious Hero - Cautious does not even begin to describe him

It starts simple enough a goddess summons a hero from another world to save a different world and while in this new world they go through adventu.... Wait, never mind this hero is so cautious that he actually spends most of the time in the goddess home training before even going to the first town. This show is full of comedy and laughs that will leave your sides splitting. However, the last 2-3 episodes feel rushed and slapped together like they needed to end it. But it at least gives it somewha...

FAP-64 Samurai Flamenco - Weird would be one way to describe this show

As the title suggests this show is weird. And while it does have its funny moments and a plot that you can follow this show was just weird. It almost felt a bit like Gurren Lagann in terms of the story but it also certainly played on the superhero genre more so from the Power Rangers style of hero. All while wrapping it up with what could be described as a lackluster ending that changed from a superhero-style show to more of a mystery show. Next week's choice is a series called Cautious Hero: Th...

FAP-63 Rokka: Braves Of The Six Flowers - Who Is The Other Fake

As the title suggests we actually had more to say about who else potentially is a fake brave for the second season, that may more than likely not come, simply because there was not enough substance in the show to really talk about. The characters were unique but the story, for Jack at least, was not. Next week's choice is a series called Samurai Flamenco. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them or give us a recommendation on what we shou...

FAP-62 Hackadoll The Animation - Watch them in any order

This week's choice is the shortest one yet. Each episode is only about 7 minutes long and it honestly does not really follow a storyline. Each episode could be watched on its own and you would not miss a thing. That being said it is well worth the watch for a good laugh. We just suggest that you do not watch it again. Next week's choice is a series called Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them or give u...

FAP-61 Triage X - It Was Rated R For A Reason

9 full episodes and 1 that should have been just an OVA. The Best way to describe this show was boobs, guns, explosions, and more boobs. Don't get us wrong they do tell you little about the characters but honestly, there was not much there to make you feel one way or another about most of the. Overall the story was sub-par that left it feeling like it was just thrown together at the last minute with an ending that left you feeling empty. Next week's choice is a series called Hackadoll The Animat...

FAP-60 Magical-Senpai - That Was A Lip Fang

This series is great for the in-between moments when you have about 10-15 minutes and just want to watch something funny. It is filled with moments that you make you laugh while also giving you some knowledge on some basic magic tricks. The one critique that we both have for it is that it was the ending was open. Next week's choice is a series called Triage X. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them or give us a recommendation on what we...

FAP-59 Taboo Tattoo - The Main Character Was Annoying

The story follows Justice and Izzy as they fight to save the world with their ancient tattoos. These Tattoos are made to bind with your soul granting you a unique ability and boosting your overall stats. While the story was there the main character for us was annoying and there are several things that they could have done better. But they did at least touch on some unique ideas for powers. There is also one that that Rick and Jack disagree on and that is that Jack thinks they pushed hard for a s...

FAP-58 Phantom In The Twilight - Backup Was a Bad Guy Too

This is one that Had plot movers that served no real purpose. They also reference legends and stories but there is nothing deeper than there. Even with the hope of at least a great story tell we were let down with plot hole after plot hole and with them going back on what they were trying to do. Giving only hopes of a great story. Next week's choice is a series called Taboo Tattoo. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them or give us a rec...

FAP-57 NAMUAMIDABUTSU! -UTENA - A Rick Solo

FAP-56 Golden Time - He Is Afraid To Disappear

Tada Banri has amnesia but also possibly a split personality from the looks of it. He tries to remember but at the same time, he does not want to because he is afraid that he will disappear. With him being in a new area and making friends while going to college. Banri meets Kaga who becomes his girlfriend. The trials that they have together are ones that we all can relate to in some form. Especially with the fear of being forgotten by the ones we love. This one was rated high for us. How will it...

FAP-55 Arifureta: From Commonplace to World‘s Strongest - It runs on Spirit

This week's choice is one that we both have seen. It also offers a different viewpoint, instead of just 1 person being transported to a new world a whole class with the teacher gets transported. Hajime is the main protagonist who starts off as the weakest person who was transported into the new world only to be thrown into a situation that forces him to do the unthinkable resulting in him becoming the strongest all while picking up companions along the way.

FAP-54 Magical Girl Raising Project - A Deadly Battle Royal

The anime starts off with no context as to what is going on and slowly eases you into what will happen for the first couple of episodes before it is chaotic and confusing all while killing off everyone that is simultaneously having their background story told to you in the episode that they die in. It is a bloody show and with a fair amount of drama an open-as-heck ending. Next week's choice is a series called Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest. Have you seen next week's choice or ...

FAP-53 Ninja Scroll - Because Poison Cancels Poison

In the movie, the ninjas are portrayed as unique, each wielding some incredible powers. However, the plot can seem nonsensical at times. Juubee stands out as a character of honor, upholding his principles consistently throughout the film. While the other ninjas possess miraculous abilities, Genma, the main antagonist, has the most formidable power: immortality. His demise comes only when he is encased in molten gold and cast into the depths of the ocean. Next week's choice is a series called Mag...

FAP-52 A Silent Voice - A Great Story That Tugs on Heart Strings

This is one that we both really enjoyed and think that the meaning and the characters are great and it knows how to make you feel for the characters. We both highly recommend watching this as it is well worth it. Next week's choice is a movie called Ninja Scroll. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

FAP-51 My First Girlfriend is a Gal - They offend everyone

For us, the dubs were a lot better and this show is most certainly one that is not meant for the kids. This show is rated Mature for a reason. Then innuendos and questionable situations are endless in every episode. But despite those, this store has a great story that you can follow. And with the dub version of it, it is like they threw away the script and just ran with what they thought was funny and it works. Next week's choice is a movie called A Silent Voice. Have you seen next week's choice...

FAP-50 Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino - It had bad stop motion camera shaking

But do not worry there are some positive notes to the show though there are not many. Next week's choice is a series called My First Girlfriend Is A Gal.

FAP-49 Punch Line - Billions of fails and still counting

Jack can't get past the time travel debacle in this one while Rick is getting a kick out of the puns in it. Overall there 3/4 of the show just really deals with Yuta looking at panties while in the last 1/4 of the series it gives a decent story even though it does not carry it through at least enough to give it a good enough score. Next week's choice is a series called Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them ...

FAP-48 Gunslinger Girl - They are not tools they are people

Henrietta and arguably Angelica are the main focus of this series with it following through to a good but sad ending. The girls are cybernetically enhanced but not to an unrealistic view just enough to make it believable that that is a possibility. And even though there is a season 2 it is not pushed for at all and they let the story be the story ending it with a sucker punch to the feels. Next week's choice is a series called Punch Line. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous o...

FAP-46 Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor -So Many Questions With No Answers

This is one that both Jack and Rick saw and it certainly was a binge-able anime. This is an adult-oriented style anime, with no nudity just profanity and violence. This show follows Rumia, Sistine, Re-L, and Glenn and how they grow to care for each other in a teacher-student relationship and with Glenn being the teacher while guiding and protecting them. The show as a whole though asks a lot of questions for everyone but in the end, there are no real answers given if there are any answers given ...

FAP-44 Sound of the Sky - Great Animation, Bad Story

A show that could have been great but the only thing that held up was the animation. The story was bad and left us wanting and help set a precedent on how to not do a story. While it did follow the main protagonist there were a lot of plot holes with enough plot armor to protect everyone in the world. Next week's choice is a movie called Howls Moving Castel.
