Treehouse Anime Club – Details, episodes & analysis

Thank you.

(Re-uploaded on June 30, 2024 to match my two-part format)

From the classic catalog of manga powerhouse CLAMP and the dynamite animation staff of Studio Madhouse, comes a classic love story with a twist! Chobits is a series very much set in the early 2000s yet imagines a not-so-distant future of artificial intelligence and computers becoming fully integrated into modern society as sexy robot ladies. I've had a lot of time to think about and examine this show from multiple angles, and my conclusion is... Listen and find out! FEATURING!!!

Super Dave | @treehouseanimepod Become part of our community on Discord! https://discord.com/invite/UGmCFnWtrB Devilman Crybaby is possibly the most violent and over-the-top anime I hope to ever review for this podcast. From the brilliantly deranged mind of Go Nagai in 1972 to the brilliantly deranged visuals of Masaaki Yuasa in 2018, Devilman Crybaby is one 'Hell' of an accomplishment.

Musical tracks:

"Smells Blood" - Kensuke Ushio

"Nighthawk" - Kensuke Ushio

"Devilman no Uta - 2018" - Kensuke Ushio - vocals by Avu-chan (Queen Bee)

Super Dave | @treehouseanimepod Become part of our community on Discord! https://discord.com/invite/UGmCFnWtrB First part of our Devilman Crybaby episode because Go Nagai deserves his own episode. And even just skimming his achievements and focusing on Devilman this episode was almost an hour long!

Super Dave | @treehouseanimepod Become part of our community on Discord! https://discord.com/invite/UGmCFnWtrB For this episode, I take a look at two collaborative works in Japanese animation with international artists: Porter Robinson and Daft Punk. These projects speak to the passion of creating a truly unique a personal experience to be shared across the world regardless of nationality.

On March 7th, 2024 the news broke that legendary creator, Akira Toriyama, had passed away days earlier on March 1st.

This news shocked and saddened all of us here in the Treehouse Community, and so have come together to say "thank you" and "goodbye" to a man who has given us so much over the years.

But there's so much more to this story! Bocchi the Rock represents an intersection of passion and ambition that resulted in one of the most unique and beloved anime properties that has already made history and will certainly go down as the best of the best to represent anime as an artistic medium. Musical tracks in this episode: "Seishun Complex" - Kessoku Band "Pepepepe" - Tomoki Kikuya "Invincible Guitar Hero" - Tomoki Kikuya "Rock n Roll Morning Light Falls on You" - ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION - covered by Kessoku Band

Super Dave | @treehouseanimepod With a new anime adaptation on the horizon after over a decade of waiting, I'm jumping into the conversation to talk about Spice and Wolf: a unique take on the fantasy genre with an equally unique pairing of characters. And the story of how the 2008 anime version was produced is also full of uniqueness as well! Music tracks in this episode: "Kenshi to Yopparai" - Yuuji Yoshino "Hashiru" - Yuuji Yoshino "Ringo Biyori" (The Wolf Whistling Song) - Rocky Chack
