FAP-191 Bubble - Jumping On Bubbles and Floating Islands

We talk about a Bubble this week and it was an interesting one. It was interesting in that had a different spin on The little mermaid. This has been a theme for a couple of the movies that we watched. But it was still unique in its telling of the story. The character development was there but the plot Bubbles kind of made it a little hard to go with the flow on some of what was happening. Next week's choice is Promare. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know wha...

FAP-190 The Big O Part 2 - So It Was All Fake?

This week we continue our Journey through the world of Big O with the second part of the show. We talk about what we liked, which wasn't too much, what we disliked, which was a lot, and all points around it. With the show being largely inconsistent we could not help but feel like they just threw it all together just to try and close it up since they were given an option to come back after a couple of years and finish the show. Next week's choice is Bubble. Have you seen next week's choice or one...

FAP-189 The Big O Part 1 - Remembering Memories

This week we talk about The Big O part 1 and it was certainly a hell of a ride for us. There were a lot of ups, downs, and forgetting for this one. The story was heavily reminiscent of Batman and other anime that were there to the point where it just felt like a carbon copy of them. But in terms of enjoyment, they were split this week on how it was and their feelings on it. But luckily there is a part 2 and that will be next week's choice. Next week's choice is The Big-O Season 2. Have you seen ...

FAP-188 My Love Story - It’s Simple Goodness

This we talk about My Love Story, and no we do not mean one of ours but the anime called that. It's a fun little show that is easy to get through that has some funny moments that we think everyone will like. With it following Takoe, Yamato and Suna this story is one of growth and laughter. It is highly recommended for a good simple watch. Next week's choice is The Big-O Season 1. 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...

FAP-187 Outlaw Star - The Original Broke Space Crew

This week we talk about Outlaw Star which was a classic anime that Jack Originally saw years ago and it was the first time for Rick. They draw on the comparisons between the anime and some other that came after and before it but lightly. The anime overall was enjoyable though they were a little split on how they felt. Next week's choice is the My Love Story. 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 s...

FAP-186 I Want To Eat Your Pancreas - What More Can We Say

This week was a touching choice with a sweet but sad story. One of the major things that this story does is that it tells you the end result in the beginning. This is all about the journey to that point and the lessons that can be learned from it. With the emotional growth of the characters, this is a story that anyone can really enjoy and it is well worth the watch. Next week's choice is the Outlaw Star. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought ...

FAP-185 Arifureta Season 2 - It’s Official Rick...

We talk a lot about Myuu in this week's choice but that doesn't even scratch the surface of what this anime has in store but it is the main topic of discussion for us today. Overall, the show is solid and it fills in a lot of background and helps advance the story in a solid manner. But not only that Rick is able to get Jack to change his score from their discussion. Next week's choice is I want To Eat Your Pancreas. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what ...

FAP-184 Mirai - Time Traveling Included

Well, this was an interesting choice for us. And it was one that we did not really enjoy largely due to the main character being how they were. The artwork was good but that honestly was about it for us. The story was lacking, the character development was not there and everything about it had us questioning the actions and reasoning behind the characters and the story for them did not make us like any of the characters in honesty. But that is just us to reach out and let us know what you though...

FAP-183 Violet Evergarden the Movie - We got Emotionally Damaged

We get emotionally damaged in this week's choice with a great story that hit on so many aspects. We lightly touch on some of our own experiences, but we can help but get a little deep with the story. It largely picks up where it left off and the story gives it a nice solid conclusion. It is a movie that is truly worth the watch and if you have not seen the series you need to watch that first especially since it plays off of a couple of episodes for it. Want to buy what we talked about or some ot...

FAP-182 Wolf Children - They Chose Their Way

This week's choice was an interesting one. The story was largely really good. It left them with some questions but overall it was not bad and decent. The music was great and was not out of place when it was playing and the artwork was pretty solid in general for it. It does a good job of only really giving you the information that you need and leading the story in a decent direction. It is worth the watch.

FAP-181 Code:Breakers - We Broke The Code...Kinda

This week was certainly an interesting one. And it was not one that we really enjoyed. The story was lacking substance. The animation style also gave it an older feel than what it actually has which for us at the time of recording was only 10 years old. Which does not boast well for the show's long run. The plot, or lack thereof, really does it no justice as well and we honestly just are left with more questions and bewilderment than anything else. Our only hope is that there is a season 2 but t...

FAP-180 Corpse Princess - We Are Defiled Ones!

We do a lot of exploring and trying to understand what is going on in this show. It is technically 1 season with an OVA but it all came out as a normal 1 season. We also try to understand what is happening in this show and how to decode what is happening in genal. But all in all, it was a decent show even though Jack and Rick were split on their scores. With it following 3 main characters for the first half of the series and then killing 1 off halfway through it kinda leaves you with an empty fe...

FAP-179 The Garden of Words - All About That Artwork!

This week we talk about a short film called The Garden of Words, even though there were not very many words spoken in that garden the movie was still a pleasure to look at even if the story was lacking. But in terms of scoring Jack and Rick are split on this a little more than usual. Jack was not impressed with the story and did not have a need to drive to want to watch it again. Rick on the other hand enjoyed it more and would not mind seeing it again. What they do agree on is that you will enj...

FAP-178 Rent-A-Girlfriend - He Had Few Redeeming Qualities... If Any.

This week we were cringing pretty hard at this one. The main character was one that we both could not like and did not create an enjoyable watching experience for us. With all his faults though there were a couple of redeeming qualities, but those were far and few in-between. One thing we could not figure out is why everyone started to fall for him when he was one of the most annoying characters that we have had to deal with. Next week's choice is The Garden of Words. Have you seen next week's c...

FAP-177 The Boy And The Beast - What Is true Strength?

What is true strength? And what is it that you truly need to attain it? This story touches on that and with the visuals, great storytelling, and visuals you are led through on a child's journey through life as they try to figure it out. They travel to a parallel world and are trained in how to fight and hone their body and mind. But they later try to strengthen their mind back in their world. The story of growth is a delight to watch and it is well worth the watch. Next week's choice is Rent-A-G...

FAP-176 Vinland Saga - Small Part Big Impact

This week we go Viking and travel with pirates, and we really dive deep into the meaning and actions of 1 character that dies early in the show. Thors we take 1 scene and go deep into discussion and try to share our viewpoints on that that where we think we are right and the other is wrong. But regardless this show is great and worth the watch and time to put into it. If there is anything that we agree on it is that this was a good show and that we are happy that there is a season 2 coming out. ...

FAP-175 Rascal Does Not Dream Of A Dreaming Girl - We Have Answers!

This week was a great choice! it was recommended to us by CJ in our discord and it was certainly well worth the watch. It is a continuation of the series and unless you have seen the series I would honestly not recommend watching it till you have had the chance to watch it otherwise it will not make sense and there will be a lot lost in context. And because of that, it makes the movie better that it plays off of the series and is a direct continuation. There isn't any time lost really from the s...

FAP-174 Josee, The Tiger, And The Fish - A Story of Healing

It was a solid story with great visuals and music. It was a great movie that both Jack and Rick liked. And it was one that Jack and his wife both loved and became a fast favorite for them. The story is in so many words about following your passions and your dreams and not letting obstacles, whatever they may be, for you not reach your dreams but instead, be inspired and reach for them no matter what. And be with someone that will also give you that push when you feel like you can't move forward....

FAP-173 Trinity Seven Movie 2: Heavens Library to Crimson Lord - Belly Button Plot Power

To wrap up the Trinity Seven journey comes to a movie that had a little better story and more context when it comes to some things and less context when it comes to other things. It was also rated PG-13 but given the... circumstances that are given arise for Arta we feel that the rating should be higher. Though the movie wasn't great we sure had some fun talking about it. Producers: Sotsu Studio: Seven Arcs Pictures Aired: March 2019 Genres: Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Ecchi, Harem, Shounen Source:...

FAP-172 Trinity Seven Movie 1: Eternal Library To Alchemic Girl - Yeah It Had ”Plot” And No Real Story.

This one was a continuation of the series but the difference was that the questions that we had were not really answered and the story was not really there at all. This if anything focused on the "Plot" of the series and it also felt like there was a lot that we missed in-between the series ending and when the movie picks up. You are also left with a lot of questions and disbelief with you rolling your eyes more and more at the movie. But it is entertaining for what it is at least a little. Next...

FAP-171 The Future Diary - Oh Look He Is Still Crying

This week was certainly one for those Diaries that you all keep because they apparently also do not matter since they will change. This one takes an interesting look at what a "god" chooses to do for entertainment and also chooses who will replace them since their life is about to end. The contest that serves to entertain them is a fight to the death with diaries telling them a future that is unique to them and what they originally kept. As the story progresses there is one character that we fee...

FAP-170 Blast of Tempest - Magic Is The Answer Because It Is A Drug!

This week was recommended to us by CJ in our discord. It was an interesting choice that is for sure. It is pretty close to a merger of 2 Shakespeare stories Hamlet and The Tempest. With the anime following and quoting both stories through its own it is certainly worth the watch and one that we both feel will give you a roller coaster ride for it. A couple of the drawbacks were the time-traveling aspect and the Mage of Exodus kinda threw us both off. But it was certainly enjoyable, to say the lea...

FAP-169 By The Grace Of Gods - A Satisfying Story With Slimes

This week was a nice and easy show to watch and it was not one that was heavy either. There were no deep plots or heavy parts where hit them feels hard but there were some solid story points and one that certainly made it worth the watch for us. With the main character and reasoning being rounded and with the questions being answered almost as soon as they ask them it makes it an easy story for you to follow. And while it did end on a positive note and one that soft closed it there is a season 2...

FAP-168 Trinity Seven - Plot With Bad Story Telling

As you would think that this may have some solid foundation with a great story in a matter of seconds you realize that there is no real story just a whole lot of plot. This to us felt like it was a young boy's wet dreams where there was not a solid story being told. There was a plot to be found but it was overshadowed by the over-sexualization of what was going on when it didn't need to be there or it would be done at a point where you would be pulled from the story. Next week's choice is By The...

FAP-167 Maoyu ~ Archenemy & Hero - A Different Take On An Old Story

This week's choice was an interesting one by Rick and they both were a little more split than usually but not by much. The story and world-building were solid, to say the least, but the pacing was not on point for Jack and he felt like each episode was about 3 times longer than what it was. But for Rick, the pacing was right on point. Even with the pacing, the story was still unique but it did leave questions for answers for them. Next week's choice is Trinity Seven. Have you seen next week's ch...

FAP-166 Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai - Quantum Physics With Life Lessons

The week was a great recommendation from CJ in our discord and we had a lot of fun watching. They as well as a couple of others also joined and watched us live stream while we recorded the episode on YouTube so we were able to get some live feedback at the time of recording as well. But the core of the show that we watched had some great life lessons and with a journey thru self-discovery for each of the side characters that are connected to the main character but they are not the only ones that...

FAP-165 - If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord - It’s Adorable With A Great Story

This we as a great choice by Jack. It was a simple yet compelling story about an adventurer who finds meaning in what he is doing when he takes in a little devil girl who was in the forest. It is a sweet journey and looks at their lives together and the trials that they have to deal with while growing together. This show is an easy watch and one that you can sit through a couple of times really quickly. So if you are looking for a cute show that is not heavy then this is the show for you. Next w...

FAP-164 The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made - Except His Life Was Not Made!

This week was an interesting choice, to say the least. It was an entertaining show that throws the Main Character right into the thick of but also at the same time secretly makes him Over Powered right off the bat. And while some of the world-building is solid in certain aspects there are others that leave you empty with the lack of answers that you are given. There is plenty of potential for the show to expand upon and they certainly left enough questions unanswered that it will make you want t...

FAP-163 Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren’t They? - Plot Strength is important!

This week we teleport to a Little Garden with our special gifts of plot strength and control! The story for us was solid and entertaining it was a fun show and we enjoyed it. It also reminds us heavily of No Game No Life with some key elements. But even with it like that, there are certain differences that are good that help differentiate it from NGNL. Regardless, it is worth a watch even if you have not seen NGNL. Next week's choice is The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Ma...

FAP-162 The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat - It Has Some Solid World-Building!

This week we go a little longer than normal mainly because we just can't help but go off on some tangents about certain parts of it. The story was good, even though it had some cringe points. The world-building was great and made for a more enjoyable experience. But we can't help but wonder what that last card was that he picked when first going to that world. It also made really dig deep into the story and the world as a whole seeking some answers. It is worth your watch if you have not seen it...
