Ep. 122: Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song COULD Have Been Great

This week, the professors look into a show that manages to fumble the delivery of some properly solid concepts: Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song. It's no slouch when it comes to animation, and the AI themes seem to have some legs to stand on, but something about its narrative choices that seem to overshadow all the show has going for it....

Ep. 119: Does It Anime: INVINCIBLE

The professors use an old segment to talk about a show that they both loved: INVINCIBLE! While they put it under the scrutiny of the rigorous Does It Anime test...to predictable results, it doesn't change the fact that this show is a gem of an animated series that furthers the gritty superhero sub-genre.

Ep. 118: Paranoia Agent Is An ABSOLUTE Trip!

Ep. 117: ODDTAXI Divided Us!

This week, the professors take a look at an anime that is the talk of the town this past season: ODDTAXI! Despite receiving extremely high praise almost unanimously, this 13 episode show managed to once again split the lab into two factions. One of them loved it....and one of them were less than pleased....

Ep. 115: Eighty-Six Is More Than Meets The Eye!

This week, the professors stumble on one of the gems of the Summer 2021 season: Eighty-Six! This A-1 Pictures show, while a basic military-mech situation on the surface, takes a heavy but focused approached on some nuanced themes, resulting in a story that has much more to offer than the professors thought!

Ep. 114: Viewer Suggestion - Taboo Tattoo

Welcome back to the lab, students! This week the professors hit a viewer suggestion that was pitched less than favorably: Taboo Tattoo! Although the internet seems to absolutely trash this show, it turns out this 2016 J.C. Staff show isn't actually as much of a dumpster fire as everyone says....but let the record show that Taboo Tattoo is not that great....

Ep. 113: Perfect Blue (1998) A Complete Mindbender Classic

This week we had a substitute teacher in to help ole Professor Ethan to conduct a class on an absolute mindmelter of an Anime Classic movie Perfect Blue (1998) directed by the late great Satoshi Kon. The movie was amazing but extremely tough to parse out so I think this episode shows how audibly mushed Patbot and my brains became as a result of the film. Highly recommend giving it a watch but **** MATURE CONTENT WARNING**** there is more than a few aggressive sexual scenes which may not be suita...

Ep. 112: Tokyo Revengers Is Fantastic! ft. Phillip from Lords of Dorktown

This week, the professors have the pleasure to dig into an amazing show with an even more amazing returning guest: Phillip from the Lords of Dorktown podcast! Tokyo Revengers is a 2021 summer anime that manages to not only successfully meld more than several genres into a single show, but also somehow tackles time travel in a (nearly) cohesive way!

Ep. 111: Record of Ragnarok Dropped The Ball HARD

This week, the professors set their sights on a hot topic show for all the wrong reasons: Record of Ragnarok! Despite the show having a premise full of promise and a celebrated manga as source material, the anime adaptation managed to fumble the execution so hard that it left student everywhere scratch their heads as to why. Can this show even be fixed? Come to class and find out if the professors can solve this one! Socials Patreon https://www.patreon.com/weebology Follow us on instagram for mi...

Ep. 109: Castlevania ABSOLUTELY Sticks The Landing!

This week, the professors tackle the final season(s) of Castlevania: a show that ended up being something that can be truly be considered an "anime" despite an almost entirely Western team producing and animating it. While they talk about the show as a whole and the themes they attempt to sell, the most recent season hold up as one of this year's more quality offerings in several respects!

Ep. 103: Yasuke Is A Bite-Sized Identity Crisis

Welcome back to class, y'all! This week's episode tackles the newest entry into the Netflix anime collection Yasuke: a quick show that seems......to not be sure what genre it wants to be for better or worse. Despite having a story and MC originating in real world history and some big names behind the show, someone involved made a decision to pivot this away from being a grounded character piece and the professors aim to get to the bottom of it!

Ep. 102: High-Rise Invasion: How NOT To Write A Death Game

This week, the professors subject themselves to a 2021 Netflix anime called "High-Rise Invasion", and frankly....it's cemented as one of the weakest Netflix shows in years. With weak characters, sloppy writing, and contrived events making the show feel like a cash grab, this is one show that nearly.....just nearly....approaches " Worst of Weeb" territory.

Ep. 99: Durarara!! is a Beautifully Crafted Web

Welcome back to class, y'all! This week the professors talk about the highly celebrated Durarara!!, a 2010 Brain's Base anime that boils down to an interesting hybrid of supernatural thriller and slice of life.

Ep. 98: Is Mushoku Tensei Really That Good?

***Huge Spoilers for Jobless Reincarnation and Im Standing on a Million Lives*** This week's Weebology lesson is a spicy one: in our Pitch or Ditch Redux, we talk about two isekais (promise we are taking a break from isekais after this) that act as foils of each other: I'm Standing on a Million Lives and Jobless Reincarnation are both quality shows in their own right, so what REALLY makes the latter better than the former?
