Advertise on podcast: Dot Plot Ascension

IT IS HALLOWEEK STILL, I SWEAR. Geez man, this one's a ripper. It's got Taylor Swift refs (Pass the Monster Meat, Milady!) and secret spider men (This Monster Wants to Eat Me) and a slam dunk home run plot guess of a f****n brutal title (Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right). We take another run at hot and fresh new segment, FIRST THOUGHT, BEST THOUGHT, and wind up in stitches, obviously. We get a real hoot of an ISEKAI MAD-LIB and probably our first idea for merch that doesn't infringe on copyright. Dopt Plopt. ASCEND. God we have a good show. Hosted on Acast.

ANIME. GOOD ONES. CAT GIRLS. NYAAA-TY ONES. It's Dot Plot Ascension, bringing you the HEAAAT. Nyaaaaa :3 Get ready for some pure, unadulterated anime mayhem. It is a fun one. We talk about Wonder Egg Priority, There's No Freakin' Way I'll Be Your Lover... Unless? and All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's brutally honest deep dive into the uncomfortable and dark depths of anime depravity: It's a goddamned Rashomon. Kalena and Bob watched three shows, in separate places, in different languages?! It turns out Quinn is absolutely jacked and can totally lift?!?! We have the best show ever (Isekai Mad Libs!!!!!!)?!?!?!?!?! We talk about fitness, it's never not gross, every show was dog shit this week and Bob and Kalena had to endure these tragedies alone. Please Clap. SHOWS: How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift? Am I Actually The Strongest? Can A Boy/Girl Friendship Survive? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

worbs have mmeanings and consequences. And we said a whole lot into microphones, recorded them, and called it a podcast called DOT PLOT ASCENSION. The energy is off the chain here. We recorded in a study room in a college library, hot off the back of watching the Van's Warped Tour and drinking unique beverages. You can tell. We mention it. ANYWAYS. We talk about "The Detective is Already Dead," a show that should have been better than it was! We touch base on "Let This Grieving Soul Retire," a show that was bad, given how good the name is! A little Isekai Madlib palate cleanser reminds us of the impact of our worbs, before we finish with a big old bloodivore classic, "Bloody Escape: Bats Out Of Hell," which is technically a film. Get us to a hundo regular listens, and we'll watch it all, on stream, while drinking unique beverages. We GUARANTEE IT. This one is an all-timer, y'all buckle up. It's BIG POD SEASON. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh man, we meant Fay Wray the whole time. Anyways. We're casting stuff, pods mostly, and they're about animes. We start off with an impromptu diversion into ISEKAI MADLIBS, and it goes very well. Psych, it goes TERRRIBLY. We take a trip into "Our Last Crusade, or The Rise of a New World" which Quinn turns into a travesty. We hit the information superhighway for "#Compass 2.0" a show about *squints at notes* What if League of Legends was Overwatch, but you Yu-Gi-Oh it, and then Digimon it and hang out with Reaper in VR? That sucks. Anyways we end on an absolute heater of "The Gorilla God's Go To Girl." We talk about Faye Dunaway, Quinn meant Fay Wray. Ooops. Follow us on Instagram and stuff @dotplotascension, and one of these days, I promise we'll post there. Probably. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you saw the original upload of this episode, no you didn't, the audio was broken and bad and it's god's fault, not ours. Regardless. We open today's episode with an apology. An apology to our viewer, and an apology to our dear friend Bobby. Flim Flam is real. Ghoul School is real. And we doubted our boy. Shame on us. May God and Bob forgive us. After that, it is GIRLS NIGHT, BAYBEEEEEEE. ALL GIRLS! ALL ANIMATED IN JAPAN! HELL YEAH! We got Girls Band Cry! Imagine the wacky stuff Quinn can get up to with that title! Then we got The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians! What can they do? Dunno, but it certainly ain't being a magician. We hit an all-timer ISEKAI MADLIB, further proving Bobby Finley's mastery of the form. We're so lucky to have him. We polish it off with a trip to Rascal Doesn't Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, a title I was absolutely terrified of entering into a google search bar. If you don't get your chuckles on in this episode, I feel sorry for you. Get absolutely Chugged. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Robert built a time machine, back to 2016, and cut together an absolute HEATER of a career retrospective. From the lost "Soundcloud" era of Dot Plot, a magnificent clip show, containing the birth of some of our most recurring bits. It is a beaut. Meanwhile, your intrepid hosts take a trip to the movies and watch Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuuuuuuuuX!!! What did they think of it? Will we ever return from the time vortex Bob built? Why so many "u's" in the name of this show? Answers await you, viewer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hot Diggity Shit Anime Fans. Welcome back, Viewer. We're in the ZONE. We're KICKING OUT THE JAMS, Podcast-wise. And there are various levels of success. We Hit up Ron Kamonohashi for his Forbidden Deductions, which Quinn squanders. He's a squander-y lil fella. Then we get served up a piping hot plate of Scooby-Doo Spook-taculars in "A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School!" Robert cooks up some isekai bullshit and takes us to the Boardwalk, and we finish it off with an all-timer. An exquisite example of WHY we do this. The Siren Call of the Anime-mines is none more evident than in "Bogus Skill > ~About that Time I became able to eat multiple skill fruits (that kill you)~" And We ABANDON OUR ENDING TAGLINE. IT WAS DOGSHIT AND WE KNEW IT. AND THEN, THE CLOUDS PARTED, AND HEAVEN DELIVERED UNTO US A BLESSING FROM BABBALABBA-DINGDONG, HOT BOB HIMSELF! UNTO US HE SPOKE SUCH DIVINE SCRIPTURES THAT I DARE NOT UTTER THEM BEFORE THEY HAVE CHANCE TO TAKE PURCHASE IN YOUR EAR CANALS AND FILL YOUR HEART WITH THE TRUTH AND JUSTICE OF ASCENSION. It's a good show we do here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A Lost Bit about Tickle Fetishes, REVIVED! Resuscitating a bit about Dick Cheney! Jokes about WAR CRIMES!!! We're back on our baloney, and goblins in Bob and Kalena's house munched on our gahddamned pods. This is a rough one. Deal with it. I haven't had clean water in f****n three days, so maybe cool your jets about the pod quality, okay? ANIME, BLAGHHGHG GRANDMA'S SPAGHETTI Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the end of the year, but it is not the end of our intrepid hosts, delving ever deeper into the Anime mines for buried treasures and treats. Quinn gets bronchitis and makes the whole recording a never-ending onslaught of advertizements. Bob gets hot and stupid, and wears a bitchin' sweater. Kalena hides her true feelings in Russian sometimes. We talked about some shows, and to be honest I could not be bothered to remember them, we mention them in the show, just listen to it for Christsakes. Happy New Year, glad we made it, and glad you made it with us. Anime Blah Blah Blah, Grandma's Spaghetti 3 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It is Summer, I've got my hat on backwards, and it is time to f****n' podcast. We're rolling HOT this week, with a bevy of pervert trash to turn into fun jokes. We tried, man. This week, we dragged our souls through harem anime swamps (The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You), mandatory kissy school (More Than A Married Couple, But Not Lovers), and "rom-com's" about "slave-owning" (An Arch-Demon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride). Kalena makes an unexpected heel turn, and forces the Boy Division of Dot Plot to play a sinister round of... ISEKAI MAD LIBS! As always, the Dot Plot cast is seeking truth in Anime, and I am pretty sure we, like Icarus before us, flew way too close to the sickening Summer sun. Break a sweat with the Original Bad Folks of Anime-based Comedy/Commentary Improv. (There is a solid 15-20 minutes of cut material that I am going to fashion into a bonus-sode, so get emotionally horny for that to appear.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Whoo boy. We did it. We reported the news. It's anime season, and the anime bushes are heavy with the weight of such delectable and succulent fruits. We talk "Gene of AI," "Human Crazy/Bug University," "Lucifer and Biscuithammer," and "Dead Dead Demons DeDeDeDe(DeDeDeDeDe? How many fuggin 'De's are in this thing) Destruction." Buckle up. It's all heaters this week. All Killer. No Side Bits. Pure, uncut ascension. LET'S MAKE HISTORY. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Full disclosure: there are 25 minutes of absolutely gut-busting conversation that I did not press record for, so get horned up to hear a bunch of callbacks to jokes that you suckers weren't in the room for! ASCEND. It's Dragon season baybeeeeeeeee. You know we can't resist a theme, and this one is a guaranteed HEATER (flame breath sounds). Before that, we dig deep on the most important question: What in God's name is Retro Crush? And what is City Hunter?! After that, we talk about "A Herbivorous Dragon of Five Thousand Years is Unfairly Villainized," and discover the forgotten truth about the bassist from Ace of Base. And what's this? A delectable morsel of "Dragon Goes House Hunting," it seems? We dip into the wonderful world of ISEKAI MAD LIBS once again. Will we get away clean, or will the stain of sin forever besmirch our souls? Either way, we wrap it up with "MONSTERS: 103 MERCIES DRAGON DAMNATION," a title so gosh darned good, it makes Quinn re-invent a Disney Channel Original Series. BEEP BOP BEEP BOP BEEP BOP BEEP BOP BEEP BOP Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BAAAAAACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIAIAIAAN. It's a very magical episode. Lots of anime-adjacent news right up top, including the untimely passing of Akira Toriyama (RIP Toriyama-sensei, AKA Goku's dad), WcDonald's WcNuggets, and Quinn's experience listening to a man on a boat explain One Piece. We talk about a couple shows, too. "MASHLE: Muscles and Magic" is first up, and we wish Quinn's thing was real, once again, for the only time this episode. We slink on down to "Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!" and create our most franchisable character, fan-favorite mascot character, and our first direct request for FAN ART. PLEASE DRAW THIS F**K IMP. We hit the old Isekai Madlib segment hard this week, and it hits back. Finally, Quinn does some of his worst work thus far by creating a very bad and boring show out of "The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic," which he cannot cut from the episode, no matter how badly he wishes he could. We may have finally found our permanent "Thing we always say?!" This episode rules. Munch it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don't call it a comeback. Dot Plot Season Three is unstoppable. It is easily delayed by illness and exacerbating circumstances, but WE NEVER STOP, and we certainly NEVER LOSE. It's all bangers this week on Dot Plot Ascension, with the exception of one kinda boring show. The UNwanTED UNDEAD ADvenTUrer? What's that even supposed to read like? Something goofy. Then we dip into the medical mystery surrounding how anglerfish do breeding, and how one confident sturgeon surgeon named Elise can lend a helping fin/hand in Surgeon Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp. Robert gets violently upset at the whole premise! It's fun. We give Isekai Mad Libs the old college try, and the results... may... astound you. Buckle in. We cap off the show with maybe the finest example of how to marry Top Gun, Gurren Lagann, and Pilot-Mecha Love Triangles with Brave Bang Brave Bravern! If you know of anime featuring corrective orthodontics (Braces, retainers, etc.) please let Quinn know. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
