This rainbow does have an end, but it’s not COVID, instead, it came in the form of cosplayers, merch-tables, gaming, and panel discussions. The latter being our ticket into what would have been a hundred-dollar membership to attend one of the east coast's biggest anime conventions, Otakon! We decided to choose a past episodes theme of iconic anime characters and with that, we had ourselves a winner! We recorded our panel for those who couldn't be there, so, please enjoy!  Catch us in between episodes on our discord https://discord.gg/Ac5Gfr9 on Instagram @otakuhostclub or our website www.otakuhostclub.com

We don’t really subscribe to the seasonal anime grind but when a show gets talked about this much we’ve gotta see for ourselves what all the hype is about. Vivy Fluorite Eye’s Song was all we were hearing about, the new original anime by Wit Studio, written by Re:Zero and Chaos;Head creators, you can’t help but wonder what these two teaming up might produce. There’s a reason why we picked it but we weren’t expecting what we found.. Find out in this episode of the Otaku Host Club podcast!

Welcome to our attempt at doing a seasonal episode. Amelia’s seasonal anime love has rubbed off on another OHC member and we decided to talk a bit about some seasonal anime before hoping into the WEP review. What’s the lesson of winter 2021 anime? Well, don’t try to be a Langa if you’re clearly more of a Reki or you’ll end up with a sprained ankle… or maybe do, because then you’ll have plenty of time to watch anime while you’re recovering. Listen to Amelia rant about failed manga adaptations, Geoff start the spring season before anyone else and Dan come in hot with his thoughts on the wonderful egg with the most priority.

Shounen Jump has a track record of producing some of the most popular series in recent and anime of the past. We wanted to take a look at the evolution of shounen anime. Has it changed over the years? What makes it so iconic? The new "Big Three?" Who not better to tackle this topic than the self proclaimed 'shounen shumcks' themselves the Anime Brothers!! These guys were a blast to record with and meet and now we're officially the only podcast to have seen their faces *instert gendo pose meme here* Go check them out although we're sure you're already listening to them! https://www.facebook.com/AnimeBrothersPodcast/ or https://www.patreon.com/Animebrotherspodcast and as always Our website is www.otakuhostclub.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/8azF2VHAhC - Instagram @otakuhostclub

Well, we finally got confirmation of what we knew all along, this was in fact part one of the “final season” of Attack on Titan. We hate to say I told you so, but WE TOLD YOU SO. And just like almost every character in this final season.. besides Onyankopon, he’s a good dude who’s friends just leave him out of the loop.. we can’t trust the Attack on Titan production committee to be sincere about just how much more anime there might actually be. Two parts? Three parts? a Trilogy movie set? We’ll forever speculate until the continuation coming this winter, potentially, we aren’t over our trust issues. We hope you enjoyed all of our theories, character scrutinizing, and objectification of all the hotties who glew up this season. We hope you’ll join us on other non AoT episodes and you can check those out by going to www.otakuhostclub.com and joining our discord to chat with us between episodes. and if you like being even more social check us out on IG @otakuhostclub or on twitter @hostotaku and we’ll hopefully see you for Final Season part 2.

So we've reached a milestone this month. One year ago—right as lockdowns went into place, a numerous amount of anime fans started up podcast including us. These included people who we are dear friends with now, people we have built community with. Even under adversity like we've never seen in our lifetime—every cloud has a silver lining as they say. Fast-forward a year later to 2021 and all is not lost. Vaccines are being pumped out by the millions with some glimpse of normalcy on the horizon. But without you the listener this would all be pointless. Thank you for spending the last year with us through thick and through thin, though kidney stones, tattoos, and BBQ road-trips and even scat torture porn. Celebrate with us with a trip down memory lane, listen back to some of our favorite moments of 2021. Maybe anime will save the world after all. Welcome to the Otaku Host Club.

Due to a minor earthquake in Japan broadcasting was interrupted so we didn't have an episode last week but we did get a double header this week. Enjoy lots of off-topic rants about 90s rappers and rocks bands, bold claims on animation, and a lot of talk about Zeke. These episodes were pretty Zeke heavy. Find out which of the two episodes are our favorite in this episode of The Road to Paradise our weekly Attack on Titan "Final Season" (yeah we put it in quotes, if we could put a wink emoji we would) discussion episode where we're discussing episodes 73 & 74 or "Savagery" and "Sole Salvation."  Check us out here next Wednesday for potentially out final AoT episode (we have't decided if we're going to do a full wrap up or not), on our website www.otakuhostclub.com  in our discord https://discord.gg/8azF2VHAhC  and on instagram @otakuhostclub.

Aschente! This episode rounds out our Host Pick content with one of Amelia's favorite anime No Game No Life. I mean the guys made her watch two mecha shows IN A ROW so she had to stun 'em with one of the most noted fan service anime. Don't be fooled by bumbling breasts or shower scenes, on the surface this might look like an over exposed kaleidoscope but if you give it a chance there is some really great world building, unbreakable sibling bonds (don't read too much into that) and a plethora otaku references! We also review Earwig and the Witch, the newest Studio Ghibli film by baby Miyazaki himself. Is it good? Bad?

While there still weren’t any titans in the episode it was worthy of yelling at the computer screen.. or tv.. or however you watch Attack on Titan.. you were probably yelling!

And you probably won’t be seeing us drink wine anytime soon… or will we?

It seems like these last few episodes have been setting up for some rumblings.. or have they? Hopefully! Because we only have four more episodes to go before ‘the end’ of Attack on Titan and a whole lot of nothing and some explosive things went down on Paradis… Eren explosively glowing up into a fine ass man. We might be meandering in this episode but when your source also meanders it’s hard not to take a cue. How many scout regimen does it take to from a coup?

Do you remember the good old days of renting VHS tapes from Blockbuster, spending 30 minutes just to decide blindly what anime was worth that rental fee or did your appetite far succeed the cost of late fees? Did you happen upon titles like Akira, Macross II, Plastic Little, or perhaps Patlbor? Those days are long and gone but the nostalgia remains largely intact and for good reason. Join us as we take a trip down memory lane to revisit this classic 80's mech show that defined an era!

2020 was a very memorable year to say the least. It was a great year for anime and an awful year for public health. We came out the gate strong with shows like Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! and ended with shows like Jujutsu Kaisen; a strong contender for best new shonen anime. With so much content available on multiple streaming-services, like Netflix and CrunchRoll, it was just damn right hard to keep track of anything. But don't worry, we've gotchu covered in our Best of 2020 episode!

As the year comes to a close, we have one last hurrah with yet another Netflix-series review! No one was holding a gun to our head, but we could't resist reviewing this highly capable series from Studio Wit.
