This weeks choice takes a different view of the Iseki genre. And it is not a bad thing for it as well. In fact the story for this one is sold and they do not shy away from the harder aspects of the entertainment industry and the choices that our main characters have to select. It keeps it feet planted on the ground in our version of reality as well. In that there is no magic or monster's (in the traditional sense). This one is certainly worth the watch. Next week's choice is High-Rise Invasion. ...

This week we have a very special guest from Anime Anonymous CJ! He joins both Jack and Rick as they talk about the movie giving a different view on it while also providing some clarification on some things. The conversation that they all have is solid with views and opinions on it being different on interpretations of key aspects of the movie. Overall though the movie was good, and it is worth the watch at least once. Next week's choice is OshiNo Ko. Have you seen next week's choice or one of th...

We get all flipped around in this week's choice as we talk about a movie that literally has people and items being inverted. With a story like there they do a good job of leading you to a way of understanding the differences in between the 2 groups and also really play to how some people truly are and is that focus on people being afraid of the unknown with those who follow them and with those who are willing to venture forward. This movie is truly one that is worth at least 1 watch. Next week's...

This week we talk about Wolf's Rain a solid choice to be sure but unless you watch the 4 OVAs (which are actually episodes) you will not get a conclusion to the series. Regardless you are given a solid story with some character growth, and it is one that is well worth a watch at least once. Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain.

Rick is back! And we talk about a lighthearted anime that left is feeling empty inside with such an open ending and nothing, but plot armor can help us. Much like this anime the level of plot in it is another lever. It seems like not matter what happens or what the main character does they always come out on top. Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain.

This week Jak talks about the Starship Troopers not to be confused with the movie. This anime came out in 1988 holds truer to the Book then the Live Action movie did. This Anime was poorly done one where the characters were dry. The Character development was poor, and it takes several episodes to build up to a climax that ultimately never comes. This honestly is a show that should be avoided in Jack's opinion. Next week's choice is Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement. Have you ...

This week's choice is about 2 teenagers growing up and struggling with their self-image or social anxieties. Things a lot of people still struggle with even as adults making is easily relatable. The animation is bright and vibrant, so it does not really fall into an art style that Jack cared for and he felt that it really detracted from the movie itself. This was a movie that had great potential, but it floundered on so many fronts. Next week's choice is Starship Troopers (anime). Have you seen ...

It's just Jack this week as Rick was unable to join in. The choice for this week was not a great a one but also not a bad one. The character development was poor, and the story was lacking. The artwork for it was solid and the music was good for when it was there. But that is all that it really had going for it. If you are just getting into the BL genre this would not be one to watch for the first. Next week's choice is Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop. Have you seen next week's choice or one of th...

This week we talk about a carnival of stories. Each one is unique and interesting and showcases an artis style and their own story. But how Jack and Rick felt were on opposite ends with how they viewed it as a whole. While Rick liked each story and art style, and it was new and interesting for him. For Jack, it was not like that. The art styles he saw were ones he was previously introduced to and the stories where ones ultimately did not sit well with him. Next week's choice is The Stranger By T...

Appleseed is a classic anime that did not age well. The story was not done well, the dialog made no sense and there was so much plot armor that not even with all the sentence enhancers that they added can save it. Honestly, this is one that we feel that you can pass by. Next week's choice is Robot Carnival. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

This week's choice was basically a big ol' recap of last week's. The move did add some more clarification and I did provide you with useful information but a large chunk of it was just a recap. The best parts were the resolution of the protag after the events of the series and what the current state of the world. Other than that It would have been a fraction of the time. Next week's choice is Appleseed(1988 Version). Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what ...

This week we talk about a short story that hits all the notes for us. It has solid character growth and the animation and art for this were top-notch for us. There were a couple of things that were a put off for it but overall it was not so glaring that it dragged the series down. This one is definitely worth the watch. Next week's choice is Planetarian The Movie. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend what we should watch ne...

This week it was just a bad choice for us. We did not like this one and the animation style was dated for when it came out. At least for the time that we believe it came it. The story overall left much to be desired and it was not something we would ever venture to watch again. Honestly, you should skip this series. Next week's choice is Planetarian miniseries.

We take some time out of our day to really look at the sky. Only to find that we are not the only ones that are looking up. This week was an interesting choice but it was passable the story was lacking growth and development it also felt like there were missing aspects of the story. All in all, it was something that we would not watch again. Next week's choice is ICE. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

We get brought into the world of Alchemy and fight with this week's choice. This anime for us played on a sense of nostalgia. More so for Rick than Jack. But even with that for them, they could not get past the plot armor that it had for it and just cheapened the show as a whole. The story was shallow and no real character development. It was one that they did not care for too much. Jack had a larger distaste for it than Rick. Next week's choice is Hakubo. Have you seen next week's choice or one...

This week we talk about an evil military child who meets a difficult foe that is fueled by a fiery passion of rage and vengeance and Tanya almost meets her doom. But even with that the story is sold with beautiful art and a compelling plot that drives the narrative we can't help but really get hung up on some things and just talk it to death. Next week's choice is Arms Alchemy Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend what we sh...

This story is a hard one to get through where you are already aware of the outcome but the journey is worth it.

This weeks choice was a rough one and it certainly was one for the books. With meh art, story and music we can't help but feel that this was a waste of a show. The questions you are given are plentiful with the answers you are given minimal. The overall experience is one that we would rather not watch again. Next week's choice is The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend what we shoul...

This week we finally dive into the 6th layer and what a trip it was! Only to find that our journey has just begun with new mysteries and surfacing and more questions coming up we can't help but want to dive deeper into the abyss to learn more. Sadly though, this is the last season for the moment but there is also a smaller glimmer of happiness in that there is a 3rd season possibly coming, as to what that is it is yet to be known. Next week's choice is The Sky Crawlers. Have you seen next week's...

Another week into our journey of the Abyss and what punch to the feels this week was. The story was solid the development for the characters was there. And the story that is being told is compelling. You learn more about Nanichi and as well as Reg but with a large portion focusing on Sovereign of the Dawn and the kind of person he is and how dangerous white whistles are and what they are actually willing to do to get what they want. You also learn about how white whistles are made which is somet...

This week we talk about another random choice. And it was a decent story and journey of growth. It was a cute story and touched on the troubles that a typical high school would deal with in getting ready to graduate high school and having a new relationship. It is worth a watch at least once.

This week we watched the movie that inspired The Cat Returns movie. It was an interesting movie and the story was solid, but it left us wanting more especially after having seen The Cat Returns first we were hoping for something a little more fantastical than what we were given. But that does not mean the movie was not good it was, and it was solid as well. But there were some things that we wished were done better. Still, it is worth the watch, nonetheless. Next week's choice is Kase-san and Mo...

This week we talk about a Studio Ghibli movie that was solid in its own right but honestly is not one of the better ones. The story was there but the progression of the character left much to be desired. We also figured out that this is a spin-off story of another movie so in the hopes of the story making more sense and maybe giving us a better view on this story we will be watching the parent story. Next week's choice is Whisper Of The Heart. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previ...

This week was quite the watch. Not only did we watch an OVA before the series but the OVA was just so bad for us. The story made no sense, the art was sub-par, and the whole thing made no sense. This was just a bad OVA in our opinion and should not be watched. Next week's choice is The Cat Return. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

This week we talk about the Last Exile.... Or rather Exile about the world..worlds.... That Claus and Lavie are in. There are ups and downs but the story was solid and the music that accompanied it was great. The artwork reminded us of the anime Witch Hunter Robin and Ergo Proxy. So if you are looking for a steampunk-style anime then this is right up your alley. Next week's choice is Alice In Deadland. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?
