Returning to the podcast is Brian from TV and Movie Trivia Podcast to discuss Steins;Gate! It’s about time we watched this highly rated anime, but nothing could prepare us for gel bananas, chuunibyous, and Mayuri’s “tutturus.” Luckily Brian is here to help us make sense of things, including wrapping our heads around time travel and the way it unfolds in the story.

It’s the premiere of a new type of discussion episode! In this recurring series, we’re strictly chatting and no topic is off limits. We chat about anything and everything, including anime that we’re watching (but not planning to review), figures and merch, sports, and Courtney’s first time watching Naruto.

We play Marry, Bang, Kill with anime characters. It’s the first time we’re playing this game in a long time (and playing it sober). The pressure is on as we force ourselves to choose between three anime characters, deciding which we would destroy, which we would sleep with, and which we would commit to for life.

We review Tokyo Revengers: Tenjiku Arc (S3). Despite flying under the radar much like its predecessor, this season of Tokyo Revengers revved us up in driving Takemichi’s story to what felt like its conclusion, when it turns out there are still events left to be unfolded and questions left to be answered. We weave through the highs and lows of the Kanto Incident while continuing to suspend the disbelief that these are literally 14-year-olds engaging in an all-out gang war.

We review the second season of Spy x Family. It’s more of the same this season, until it’s not when the Forger’s take a luxury cruise vacation. We discuss Yuri’s comedic timing, Loid feeling more like a family man, and Yor finally getting her chance to shine.

We review the second part of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. We were worried that the repeated formula in this anime would make the story stale, but purposeful writing and thoughtful messaging is keeping this show fresh. We discuss romance, comedy, and an arc that we just can’t seem to find interesting.

We discuss our spoiler-free Winter 2024 anime first impressions. This season feels different from others with late premieres and less major titles. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a promising start to the year. We discuss a story that got us choked up, a show where everything and nothing happens at the same time, and a BL that’s equal parts wholesome and spicy.

We review Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead. Despite an odd release schedule, this anime delivered with its comedy, animation, and relatability. We discuss our favorite aspects of the show, and some of the choices we disagree on. One thing we can all agree on, however, is that zombies in anime have never been so much fun.

We review the second half of Jujutsu Kaisen season two. Nothing could prepare us for the wild ride of never-ending fight scenes, casualties, and emotions that left us wondering what the future holds for JJK. We discuss the most exciting moments, the most confusing moments, and the most disappointing moments.

We close out the year with the best and worst of 2023 anime! From farming being hype, to witnessing history being made, to girls doing things with dogs they shouldn’t do, we had a lot of memorable moments in anime this year. And now, we’re reflecting on 2023 by sharing our picks for the best and worst protagonist, story, animation, and more.

We review The Boy and the Heron (Kimitachi wa Dou Ikiru ka). Miyazaki’s (not) final film is a beautiful story rooted in grief, acceptance, and family. But is it easy to pick out this story amidst a sea of abstract concepts and metaphors? We discuss the misleading title, the weird family dynamics, and the part that made Courtney’s eyes well up with tears to the point where she couldn’t see where she was driving.
