Following the last episode I will be discussing Love Live! Superstar Season 2. An ok development for the series that tries some different ideas and borrows good concepts from Nijigasaki.

This week we discuss the other big idol franchise in anime, Love Live, more specifically Love Live Sunshine Season 1.

BEFORE YOU LISTEN: I got stuck with work related stuff and couldn't finish this week's episode so I chose to upload this unreleased episode of last season. This week I will talk about a historic tale said to be the most accurate depiction of feudal Japan to ever come out, Lone Wolf & Cub.

| TWI 058 - Why I watched The Idolm@ster Million Live: Good bones but misses the mark | 27 Feb 2024 | 00:34:45 | |
For this episode I will be talking about the latest in the Idolm@ster series The Idolm@ster Million Live. A somewhat sequel to the OG IM@S from 2011, tho it does not have the same grace as the original Editor's note: Noticed that at the beginning I said Cinderella Girls when I meant OG Idolm@ster.

| TWI 057 - Why I watched The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls U149: Idolm@ster anime still got it after all these years | 13 Feb 2024 | 00:39:52 | |
Starting the main part of this years thene in earnest, let's talk about The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls U149, a return to form for the series after years without an anime. This one wears it's inspiration on the original IM@S on it's sleeve and while it doesn't sport the same presentation of the 2016 Cinderella Girls, it makes up for it in animation and wholesomeness. For reference, the songs I mention in the episode: 5 ED (Risa's Episode): GEMSTONE 6 ED (Haru's Episode): ACE Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat More of The Weeb Initiative: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCnvX1s_ZycA Discord: https://discord.gg/rSSc87AeJc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7KUuUmEkReF4IYyuFrpbO2?si=a36005c6cb524f34 Comments, collabs and Concerns: theweebinitiative@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/InitiativeWeeb Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theweebinitiative | |||
| TWI 074 - Why I watched Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shou: Not the best of endings | 08 Oct 2024 | 00:32:05 | |
To finish reviewing all of Wake Up, Girls!, I will be talking about Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shou. Another example of why changing studios spells doom for most series, compounded with a general degradation of the animation and subpar 3DCG scenes.

Finishing the series we started last episode, today, let's talk about Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-blooded Orphans Season 2.

Recently finally had the time to finish up reading Kaguya-sama Love is War manga and in order to give it a proper send off I wanted to make an story analysis to remember how this unassuming rom-com began as your everyday manga and ended up redefining how we see character writing.

This episode I will discuss an anime that had some considerable hype near release but for some reason went quiet right after that. Knowing the track record of the studio, A-1 Pictures, when it comes to original anime, I felt compelled to check Engage Kiss out to see whether the studio has improved on its original releases or the quality work is reserved to just adaptations.
