We've made it to the finish line of RideBack! Did the geopolitical themes add up to something compelling and interesting? Oh, hell no, but it was pretty entertaining for the most part. Honestly, it's a rare treat for us to get to talk about a perfect mid anime. Oh, and make sure to stick around to the end for a mini-discussion on the recent theatrical rerelease of End of Evangelion. Spoilers: it was amazing!Anime Discussed: RideBack 7-12Next time: Girls und Panzer OVAs 1-6 and This is the Real Anzio BattleSend us your questions!

After our brief foray into video games, it's time to ride back into anime with 2009's RideBack: a show we all thought would be like IGPX with motorcycle mechs, but instead it's more like Terror in Resonance with motorcycle mechs? Either way, we're having a surprisingly good time with this racing anime pollical drama hybrid.Anime Discussed: RideBack 1-6Next time: RideBack 7-12Send us your questions!

Today we're saying goodbye to anime (temporarily) and hello to video games. We've got another show and tell for y'all with a cyberpunk roleplaying game out in the edges of space, a photography game about trying to soak in the vibes at the end of the world, and a shoot 'em up from one of the bedrock series of otaku culture. And don't you anime sickos worry, we'll be back next time with the first six episodes of 2009's Rideback!Anime Discussed: Show and Tell (Anime Ja Nai, Video Games Ja Yes Edition)Next time: Rideback 1-6Send us your questions!

It's time to wrap things up with our favorite gay girls and the world of Pure Illusion. Despite some misgivings about the final conflict of the show, we all made it to the other side with positive feelings towards Flip Flappers.

Needless to say we deserved a nice palate cleanser after Bokurano, and fortunately for us A Place Further than the Universe fits the bill.

We made it to the end of Bokurano which means we can finally say with no hesitation that it was one of the worst things we watched for the podcast. Any good will we might've had towards the start of the show has fully whittled away at this point. Join us as we attempt to discuss what does and does not happen in the final episodes of Bokurano without losing our minds.Anime Discussed: Bokurano 19-24Next time: A Place Further Than the UniverseSend us your questions!

Much like the kids in Bokurano, we're fighting for our lives trying to see this show through to the end as it continues to throw plot lines and characters at us that we could care less about, and forgets to have its characters reflect on any of the plot reveals that happen. Oh well, at least it's starting to get a lot sillier as it goes along.Anime Discussed: Bokurano 13-18Next time: Bokurano 19-24Send us your questions!

So there's good news and bad news about the next six Bokurano episodes. The bad news is that we've hit a major low point in the show, but the good news is that hopefully (let's all cross our fingers) the worst is now behind us. Sit down in your thematically appropriate pilot chair and join us as we complain about the tasteless of the show, it's contradictory inclination to pull its punches, and the ongoing saga of weird car stuff.

We're watching Bokurano! Six episodes in and it's fair to say we have some varied opinions about this one. Things we generally like: the music, the mechs, the OP; things we don't like: all these nasty boys, the ED, strange changes from the source material. Will our spirits hold for the remaining 18 episodes, or will they die out like these kids after piloting Zearth? Anime Discussed: Bokurano 1-6Next time: Bokurano 7-12Send us your questions!

It's our 5th anniversary! We're celebrating the occasion by talking about a seminal anime film: Akira. We're also continuing our annual tradition of personally ranking all of the anime we've watched over the last 5 years.

We're finishing off our run on Patlabor with a trio of offerings. First there's the main event, Patlabor WXIII, the last of the theatrical animated films and an often overlooked and underappreciated part of the series. Then there's MiniPato, the short form experimental parody anime, and last (and probably least) there's Patlabor Reboot, the 2016 proof of concept for a modern Patlabor series that's finally going to see its actualization in the upcoming Patlabor EZY.

It was all leading to this. One Patlabor work stands high above the rest: Mamoru Oshii's Patlabor 2.

With the OVAS out of the way, it's time to dig into the Patlabor movies, starting with Patlabor: The Movie! This movie has a lot of what the OVAs felt lacking, and then some: a lot more character interactions, intrigue, and action, not to mention it looks and sounds incredible.

We're finally scratching a big one off of Austin's personal list, and diving into Patlabor! Unfortunately for Danny and Danielle who haven't seen any Patlabor before, that means doing the prep work of watching the mostly good, but not great OVAs before getting to the real high points of the movies. Fortunately though, there's still much to talk about with the OVAs, including the weird resonances with future Patlabor projects which we'll get to in due time.Anime Discussed: Patlabor OVAs 1-7Next time: Patlabor: The MovieSend us your questions!

We're changing things up a bit for this episode by reading a manga instead of watching an anime! We read the delightful (yet toothless) BL Metamorphosis.

It's time for another show and tell, and this time we decided to forsake good sense and reason by choosing three different bad isekai anime and checking out their first episodes. All three held up to our general expectations of badness, but one was surprisingly fun in its badness, one was just boring, and the other was boring AND offensive. Join us as we roast some bad anime, consider our feelings on the isekai genre at large, and learn about the mechanics of fantasy pregnancy.Anime Discussed: Show and Tell: Bad Isekai Edition!Next time: BL MetamorphosisSend us your questions!

Now at the end of Shinsekai Yori, we can confidently say two things: one, this show did not need to be 25 episodes long, and two, the queerats were by far the most interesting part of the show. Join us as we dissect the few parts of the ending we actually liked, and the many parts of the ending we didn't.Anime Discussed: Shinsekai Yori 20-25Next time: Show and Tell: Bad Isekai Edtiion!Send us your questions!

Shinsekai Yori marches on, though it's debatable whether it should have gone on for this many episodes or not. As we reach the three quarters point on the show, we find ourselves frustrated on all the time waste on things that are not the developing rat politics.

Shinsekai Yori continues to have its series of ups and downs as we jump forward in time two years. We learn even more about the hows and whys of the disappearing children, but unfortunately we also have to deal with the real-world implications this show inadvertently brings into conversation along with it.

Time for a new show! This time we're diving into the world of Shinsekai Yori - a world full of psychic powers, genetic manipulation, rat societies, and exploding dogs.

As we come to an end with Granbelm and realize that we were all too right about this show being Madoka with the edges sanded off. But it turns out you need some of those edges to make a compelling show!

We're watching Granbelm, a show with mechs AND magical girls plus a healthy splash of Madoka for good measure. If it weren't for some solid action, and some A+ sicko women, this show would be pretty unremarkable, but boy are we feasting on the sicko energy in this one.

It's episode 100!

To mark the occasion we've invited our friend Tyler back on the podcast to once again discuss Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece with us. Since this is episode 100 of the podcast, we jumped ahead to episode 100 of these three long running Shonen anime.

Surely a big, significant number like 100 means all three are action packed, emotional episodes right? Right??? Well either way, we get to ruminate on long running adaptions, the ways they handle outpacing the source material, and lament (but mostly celebrate) the loss of this particular type of Shonen manga adaption.Anime Discussed: Bleach 100, Naruto 100, One Piece 100Next time: Mononoke 1-6Send us your questions!

In this special (not actually special) Kotatsu after dark episode, we finish Scorching Ping Pong Girls!

Last time, two of us foolishly held on to the hope that the second half of Dual would really lock in on some interesting ideas, themes, character arcs, etc., but one of us correctly predicted that nothing interesting would happen.

Going in we knew Dual! would be an Evangelion inspired anime, but we did not know it would be a harem anime or that it was created by the Tenchi Muyo guy. However, it does have some interesting sci-fi ideas when it's not being a harem show. Here's hoping the ratio of those things works out in our favor by the end of the show...Anime Discussed: Dual!

Our old friend Toh EnJoe has done it again. He made a show with some interesting ideas that got bogged down by BS pseudoscience and bad writing, but hey, at least Jet Jaguar, Godzilla, and Pero 2 are all here to give us something to enjoy.

We've been watching too many good shows recently, so we decided to test ourselves by watching the infamously bad, Crunchyroll produced EX-ARM. We were prepared for bad CGI animation, but we were not prepared for everything else about it being equal bad.
