After several years we finally got a season 3! But it was half the length of the first 2 seasons, and honestly, we were okay with that. We felt that if it was any longer the 12 it would have done more harm than good. The show overall lightly touched on politics for the world and also showed you what was happening to Krusty with some solid world-building and explanations. If you have seen the first 2 seasons then season 3 is a must for you. Next week's choice is Tokyo Godfathers. Have you seen ne...

This week's choice was certainly an interesting one. It was basically a continuation of the first movie however they did not really deal with anything having to do with the first movie. The flow was off pace and the dog, to us, was so out of place we could not help but be drawn to it. The movie did give you some views on how far hacking a person could go and that no one was safe from it unless you had no cybernetics in your brain. Next week's choice is Log Horizon Season 3. Have you seen next we...

This week was a great trip down memory lane for both Rick and Jack. It rekindled our love of the series and the movie sent us on a trip down memory lane. The Soundtrack is one of the best out there if not the best and the animation still stands up even after 20 years! The story wastes no time in setting the foundation for the movie as well as helping those who have not seen the series understand the dynamics of the Bebop crew and who they are each individually. Even if you have never seen the an...

This week was a trip down memory lane with Ghost in the Shell. It certainly was one that you could dissect. The animation, for Jack, did not age well but the story and movie overall did and it is one that can be watched enjoyed even 26 years later. But the ending is insanely open and it certainly leads you to think that there will be a sequel and luckily there is. I also really dives into some moral sides as to what a human really is and it also shows you the concerning side of technology in you...

What a great choice this week was! The story was great (although predictable for Jack) it was not earth-shattering but it was entertaining and it answered almost all the questions it laid out for you. We also enjoyed that when there was something that did not make sense it made a full circle for you and answered the question which helped out a lot. The main character is written well and compels you to like him and his awkwardness. All in all, this is one show that we would both recommend you wat...

What a great choice for us to watch by Jeb off of our Discord Server and we were not disappointed in the choice! Especially for it being an original work but even with that being said it is certainly not without its flaws or disappointments. The animation was clean, the soundtrack was great and it ended with an absolute ending so that there is no leeway for a second season. It is something that we both would recommend that you watch at least once. Next week's choice is The Misfit of Demon King A...

This week was a trip down memory lane full of nostalgia for Rick not so much for Jack. The story as a whole has some good meaning in it even though the voice acting is not that great and the animation, for Jack, did hold up. The writing for how the main character was holds true to how a child should be even with the bad acting. If you are wanting to enjoy a trip down memory lane then this one is for you. Next week's choice is Terror In Resonance. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the pr...

Thanks to a misunderstanding on Jack's part instead of them watching just 1 season of Tokyo Ghoul:re they watched both seasons of it. And luckily it was a good thing because season 1 of re was lackluster at best. It also never really answered any questions but instead, it just asked more questions and it did not give you any answers. But season 2 did give you answers and it did help you to understand some things about what was going on with the series. But even with that, they left us with more ...

Season 2 (or root A) is a straight continuation from the season and it picks up right where it left off too. Which makes it even better if you are watching it back to back. Not only do they help answer some of the questions that you had they also give you more insight as to what is going on. Again our favorite character is Hide and he plays a big role in this even though he is not the main character. The viewpoints on the series are interesting and we even thought of an idea for some fan fiction...

This week was a great choice and one movie that we both loved. It was a great story but what makes this one really interesting is that this Studio Ghibli movie is not technically a Studio Ghibli because it actually came out 1 year before the studio was created. It was the first movie directed by Miyazaki and it was also based on the manga that he wrote. All that aside the music is great and the animation even stands the test of time and it is worth the watch no matter who you are or your prefere...

Aside from a one killer opening (literally), the character development is solid although a tad slow for 1 season, for Jack's taste. The pacing overall was just right none the less and it was something to behold. That all being said they left you with quite a few questions and with a feeling that makes you want to know what just happened or if Riza is even still alive. But the storytelling, visuals, and music when there are all great and it's certainly worth a watch. Next week's choice is Nausica...

This week was certainly an interesting one, even though it was not highly rated for us it still is part of a broader series of shows and movies from what we know. The show to start certainly did not give you an impression that the actors were great or that they even cared for the show to even try. But as the show progresses it lends itself to a more in-depth story with the reason why the acting was so bad. Because there was an actual reason why it was bad that helped save it even if only a littl...

This week was part 2 of Terra... Yeah, that sums it up. It leaves you with a "What the hell?" type of feeling but not in a great way. They also changed a lot from the first season going from something more dark to a brighter more plot-driven season that focuses on some strong plot drugs, as we like to call it, and inconsistencies and it left you with more of a "what?" type of feeling. Next week's choice is called Blood-C. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know ...

This week Jack recalled Rick doing a hard pass on Kiki's Delivery Service from the pre-show discussions of episode 115 (available to patrons only) and so because of that it was chosen. It is a story of journey and growth for them as well as for Kiki. Jack also tries to help answer some questions that were had as well as explain that the movie was actually based on children's books, that alone, answered a lot of questions that were had by Rick. Next week's choice is the second season of TerraForm...

We survived another week with a show we actually did not care for. It was bad and for us did not really have a story except for the first episode or 2 and the last episode or 2. You also learn the background of a lot of characters only to have them killed off right after you learn their background. That was one thing they did really well, which killed a bunch of people right after giving you a back story. For both Jack and Rick it was not a great watch, especially for Jack. Next week's choice is...

This week for us was quite the show. Jack hated it and was filled with disappointment when he noticed it was 24 episodes and not 13 along with several other complaints. But Rick enjoyed it viewing it more positively and getting more enjoyment out of it than Jack. There were some questions or events that happened that caused some confusion or that didn't make sense but overall was enjoyable to at least one of us. Next week's choice is a movie called Terraformars. Have you seen next week's choice ...

This week was a good choice. It was worth a watch and for Jack, it was a re-watch. This is a movie that is certainly worth a couple of watches simply because of everything that you miss the first time that you watch it. The second time is much better. They also tell a new version of Little Red Riding Hood and it also plays a major theme throughout the movie. So give it a watch and tell us what you think of it. Next week's choice is a series called Tokyo Ravens. Have you seen next week's choice o...

This week was a rough one to get through for us, especially for Jack. We did not like the main character and actually preferred the others to the MC. The better episodes were ones that didn't really deal with him at all. But it gets even better because Rick saw this one before and he disliked it so much that he actually did not even watch it all again and instead chose to read some cliff notes which led to some good laughs and confusion. Next week's choice is a movie called Jin-Roh: The Wolf Bri...

This week we talk about The shield Bro... Hero and it was one that was really enjoyable to both of us. It has drama, romance, betrayal everything. And it is done in a tasteful way. But for Rick, in this week's choice tries to talk more about the differences and what will happen after season 1, as well as other things that did not happen in the show and Jack, tries to reel him in to try and keep him on topic. Next week's choice is a series called Actually, I am. Have you seen next week's choice o...

This week came as a recommendation via email from Facebook. It was one that we both saw before and it was well worth the re-visit. The one is great and it was deep in lore and story. And not just from 1 aspect but from several even referencing one of William Shakespeare's writing. It is not action-packed so if you are wanting only that this is not for you since it is a store-heavy anime. Still, regardless it is well worth the watch. Next week's choice is a series called The Rising Of The Shield ...

While this one was certainly an interesting one. It was also a little bland for us. The story was cookie cutter, the villain was just kinda there, and then there were some things that just didn't make sense to us. But regardless it was not awful just not good. But we did have some fun talking about it. We also talk about some recent feedback on episode 44 from Brian on what we missed. Thank you sir for the feedback and for letting us know what we got wrong! We will certainly need to go back and ...

Well, this week was certainly an interesting choice that much is for sure. There were a lot of flashing texts and honestly that was of the least liked things about it. The dialog was interesting there was some character development but they showed or referenced things that we wished were actually explored rather than just randomly showing it in some scenes. There is also a complex season that we talked about that must be watched in a certain order. But it is a decent show despite the low scores ...

This week's choice was certainly interesting. It was not a pretty good movie with a solid ending but there were some problems with it and well.... we focused on those because they were pretty massive and we had some fun talking about them and even talked about making a shirt and that is exactly what we did! The movie though was good the animation was bad and had some "data" plot armor to help protect the story but overall it was good and it is worth the watch. Next week's choice is a series call...

A continuation of a great series but rated slightly lower than the first season. This is because it left us with more questions and greater want for a season 3. Rick loved it while jack thought it was great but it left him wanting. It has some serious foundation building for the characters that lead to a great season 3. Next week's choice is a movie called Expelled From Paradise. 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 recom...

This week we watched a movie and for a change, the scenery and the music were good along with the voice actors. The story not so much as it left a lot of questions. But it was certainly comedic in some spots and we both really enjoyed talking about it much more so than watching it. So it is worth a watch if you have not seen it and need something different to watch. Next week's choice is a series called One Punch Man Season 2. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us ...

This week's choice was a great one for both of us and we spend a fair amount of time praising it for what we think is a great show. It is a comedy that has some really funny moments. It is a parody on the superhero genre and we feel it does pay some tribute to some other great action anime. But even with all that while it is the perfect show for Rick, Jack has some reservations about it and gives it a slightly lower score because, well we all know he is hard to please. Next week's choice is a mo...

This was a nice change of pace for the shows and it was one that we both thought was good. The story was simple and easy to follow and fairly predictable but regardless, it was a good story and enjoyable. The characters are funny and unique and when they are introduced it is not rushed nor is the introduction forced but flows seamlessly in with the story. Next week's choice is a series called One Punch Man Season 1. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what y...

This episode marks 2 years of podcasting and what a journey it has been! And what better way to hit episode 104 of the Featured Anime Podcast than with a really bad (disaster movie bad) OVA that is originally based on a game? We had our differing viewpoints and but overall we laughed at this movie at how bad it was. It is comically bad that is. Next week is a series called Blend-S.

This week's choice was certainly an interesting one. In that, it was confusing and odd. The animation style was odd and not something that we really cared for when it came to characters, the scenery was beautiful it certainly was one that took the majority of their budget. The voice actors were good the writing not so much. Would we watch it again? No, we would not. Was it worth the watch? No, it was not. The music in it though was tasteful and well done. Next week is another movie Sin: The Movi...

This week was the second season of Log Horizon. And honestly, it was not that great, at least the second half was not great. The first half was really good and we both loved those 12 episodes. But to the credit of the creators, the second half did give some motivation and background to the character. But, it could also have been done in a fraction of the episodes and still get the point across. Next week's choice is a movie called Fireworks. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previou...
