Time for episode 175! We watched Sasameki Koto, or Whispered Words. And in contrast to the last episode, this girl is generally competent, but is unable to catch the attention of her best friend who she's in love with. Such is life. Unfortunately, it isn't currently available on any streaming services.

Episode 174 is here! And it's June again, which means pride time! And we start with There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless... And that's a mouthful, so most people call it Watanare. Anyway, it follows failgirl Renako as she somehow catches the attention of multiple girls. And it's mostly fun. Check it out on YouTube!
Content Warning: this anime has a scene depicting an attempted sexual assault. This is discussed in the podcast.

Welcome to episode 173! We finally talk about an anime that's been in the docket for years, Akiba Maid War! And what a strange and fun anime. Maids being gangs in the criminal underworld. And all the drama (plus blood and violence, as a warning) that comes with it. Check it out on Hidive!

Time for episode 172! In it, we talk about the final episode of My Hero Academia, More! Yes, that's the name. And it's... well... it's something. We also talked about the series as whole, the ups and downs. Check out the epilogue on Crunchyroll!

Episode 171 is here! And yet another season comes with it! It's time for some Spring anime. Some interesting and varied anime this around, too. A villainess isekai! A chicken who fights demons? A captured princess knight and barbarians! Plus some witches! Check them out!

Welcome to episode 170! We returned to the My Hero Academia spinoff, Vigilantes! Season 2 is not quite as good as season 1. For a variety of reasons. Including, weirdly enough, a sidelining of its protagonists. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 169! We returned to the beautiful, and somewhat melancholic world of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, by watching season 2! And it largely delivers what the first season did. Although, it doesn't quite hit the same highs. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 168 is here! Once again, SPY x FAMILY is discussed! This time season 3! Which brings with it three major story arcs, and more! All this while effectively balancing comedy with more sober moments. Check it out on Crunchyroll!

Welcome to episode 167! We return to the world of spies and assassins with SPYxFAMILY season 2, plus the Code: White movie! It's largely more of what we loved in season 1, but taken up a notch. Especially with the cruise arc. You can check them out on Crunchyroll: Season 2 and Code: White.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 166! It's now the year of the horse, which means more Uma Musume! Specifically, part 2 of Cinderella Gray's first season. The adventures of Oguri Cap continue, with her ongoing rivalry with Tamamo Cross and some new opponents. Check it out on Amazon Prime.

Episode 165 is here! And it's time to sample some new anime! Specifically, Winter 2026 anime. We somehow avoided all the isekai, yet 3 of them are still fantasy. But, we also got some solid picks this time around. Check them out:
The Holy Grail of Eris
Journal with Witch
Sentenced to Be a Hero
ROLL OVER AND DIE

Welcome to episode 164! We return to a favorite of ours, Zombie Land Saga! The movie Yumeginga Paradise just released (in a special one night event), and we watched it. So open spoilers. And we have to say, if you're a fan of ZLS, you'll probably love this movie. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to watch it.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 162! It's 2026, and we're kicking things off with the end of My Hero Academia! Well, the final season anyway. Apparently there's gonna be an epilogue. But, did the final season stick the landing? Eh... It definitely has a lot of good points. But some not-so-good. You can check for yourself on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 162 is here! The last episode of 2025. And we close out the year with City The Animation! A wonderfully animated slice of life with a goofy sense of humor. And it works so well. Check it out on Amazon Prime.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 161! An old favorite returned recently, with New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt! And it's interesting how much it changed, and yet remained the same. You'll understand if you watch. Which you can do on Amazon Prime. I guess.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 160! In this episode, we revisit an anime from Summer 2025, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show. Why? Because it has a lot of interesting things going on, even if manages to produce just as many misses as hits. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
Content Warning: This anime features plot points regarding child abuse, existential dread, and blood. These are discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 159 is here! And a new season has begun, which means new anime! So once again, we grabbed 4 at random and watched the first 3 episodes of each. And 3 of the picks are kind of... meh. The 4th is interesting but might be upsetting to some. Isekai! Romance! Beastfolk! Yokai! Check them out if you want.
With You, Our Love Will Make It Through
Dad is a hero, Mom is a spirit, I'm a reincarnator
Yano-kun's Ordinary Days
This Monster Wants to Eat Me
Content Warning: "This Monster Wants to Eat Me" contains blood, violence, and suicide ideation. These are discussed in the podcast.

Welcome to episode 158! We suddenly remembered it's October, so time for some "horror." But it's kinda... bad. And it's called Calamity of a Zombie Girl. So if you like watching bad media, you might want to check it out. Possibly on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Content Warning: This anime contains blood and gore. This is mentioned in the podcast.
Time for episode 157! And it's a doozy. We watched Chargeman Ken. An anime often considered one of the worst of all time. And it's really hard to argue against that. Almost everything that could go wrong does go wrong. You can check it out (if you really want to) on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 156 is here! And once more into horse world, with Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray! The recent spinoff starring Oguri Cap. Yes, the background joke character. And it arguably surpasses all the other Uma Musume anime. Check it out on YouTube!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 155! And yep, it's more Umamusume. This time the two OVAs (BNW no Chikai and Road to the Top) and the movie, Beginning of a New Era. The first OVA is essentially an epilogue to the first season of Pretty Derby, being about Biwa Hayahide, Narita Taishin, and Winning Ticket. The second is a prequel to the movie, chronicling Narita Top Road, Admire Vega, and TM Opera O. The movie itself is quite amazing, all about Jungle Pocket, Agnes Tachyon, and Manhattan Cafe. Oh and Dantsu Flame also appears. BNW no Chikai is exclusive to the season 1 Blu-Ray, Road to the Top is available for free on YouTube, and the movie is only available via importing the Blu-Ray from Japan.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 154! We returned to Umamusume: Pretty Derby, to finish what we started by watching season 3. Good timing, considering the franchise recently exploded in popularity. This season focuses on Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond. It's also bit weaker than the previous seasons. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 153 is here! Once again, we're back in the world of My Hero Academia! But this time, it's the spinoff, Vigilantes! It does a lot of great things to differentiate itself from the main series. But it also makes a few missteps. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 152! A new season of anime is once again upon us, and we took a quick look at 4 of them. Cosmic horror with gay undertones! Fantasy with time travel! Horror with gay undertones! Again! And a yuri harem! Wild how that worked out. You can check them out yourself:
Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show
New Saga
The Summer Hikaru Died
There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless...
Content Warning: The third anime (The Summer Hikaru Died) contains mild body horror, and the fourth (Watanare) contains a depiction of attempted sexual assault. These are discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 151! In it, we talk about the spring 2025 anime, Rock is a Lady's Modesty! We previously talked a bit about its first 3 episodes, but now we've finished it. And we're glad we did, because it was a genuinely fun time watching it. Weird BDSM imagery and all. Check it out on Hidive!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 150 is here! And we return to Princess Principal, with Crown Handler Chapter 3! The 3rd movie in the series, and honestly, it's a bit bland. Which is disappointing, considering how much we like this anime. Check it out on Blu-Ray!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to Episode 149! It's still June, which means it's still PRIDE! And we talked about a fairly recent anime, Tadaima, Okaeri. Which is about a gay couple raising their children. Oh, and it's Omegaverse. If you don't know what that is, don't worry, we have a crash course at the beginning. Whether you want it or not. Check out the anime on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for Episode 148! Yes, after a bit of a hiatus, it's now June! Which means time for PRIDE! And to start, we're talking about The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady. Which is a lot of title. A noble girl and a princess meet! They do magic! Fight a dragon! Stop a plot! All while getting closer to each other. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 147 is here! And it's now Spring, which means time to talk about new anime! And we got 4 great picks this time. Although two of them have weirdly similar vibes. A photography club, the end of the world, theraputic travel, and gay rockers (wait, again?). Check them out:
mono: https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/G1XHJV0N8/mono

Welcome to episode 146! We watched season 7 of My Hero Academia! Which means we're now caught up. In this season, a lot of plot threads start to close during the first part of the final battle. And Nemesis is Very Normal™ about Himiko's and Ochako's big scene. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
Content Warning: This season has depictions of child abuse, and that is discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 145! Still My Hero Academia, but this time it's season 6! And after a bit of a wobbly season, this feels like quite the improvement. Granted, there are still problems, including one that may fly over some people's heads. Check out the season on Crunchyroll! Or another streaming service of your choice.
Content Warning: This season has depictions of child abuse, and that is discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 144 is here! And we watched season 5 of My Hero Academia, which may be the weakest season so far. Granted, that's largely because of a middling first half. At least the second half is a signifcant improvement, even with the somewhat messy Todoroki family stuff. Oh yeah, there's also the third movie. Check out MHA on Crunchyroll (or one of the many other streaming services it's on)!
Content Warning: This season deals with child abuse, and that is discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 143! We're continuing our viewing of My Hero Academia with season 4! Plus the second movie, Heroes Rising. And we have a couple of divided opinions about this one. Notably for the second half. Check out the season (and movie) for yourself!
Content Warning: This season deals with child abuse, and it is discussed within the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 142! We watched season 3 of My Hero Academia! This is the season where a few narrative cracks start to form, although it's still quite enjoyable overall. We also watched the first MHA movie. And yes, just as a heads up: the next few months of episodes will all be MHA. You can check the anime out on Crunchyroll and other streaming services (including some of the movies).
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 141 is here! And it's winter, which means winter anime! Four of them, for this episode. And two of them are kind of so-so, the other two caught our interest. One being a surprise. So check them out:
Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 140! We jumped back into the world of My Hero Academia! This time season 2, which includes a tournament arc (a shounen staple), an encounter with The Hero Killer, and more! There's also a few not-so-great elements as well. You can check out the anime on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 139! Love Live! Superstar!! got its third (and probably final) season! So we watched it. All the character arcs had to come to a conclusion this season, and they largely nailed it. Which is a great comeback from the more lackluster second season. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 138 is here! And it's the last episode of 2024. So to round off the year, we decided to start a shounen anime. Namely, My Hero Academia! And for now, only season 1. And watching it, it became pretty clear why people liked it in the first place. You can check it out just about anywhere that streams anime. Like Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 137! We watched the legendary School Days. But you should know it's not legendary for its quality. If anything, "trainwreck" is a good word for it. If you really want to, you can watch it on Crunchyroll.
Content Warning: The anime contains blood, gore, infidelity, and possible rape. The visual novel series it's based on also contains incest. These are discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 136! We talked about Girls Band Cry, the original cg animated anime that came out earlier this year! The one that's about a band forming and all the drama and baggage that comes with it. And to be honest, it largely exceeds expectations. Check out out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 135 is here! And it's a new anime season, which means we watched four anime at random. And wow, we got all good ones. Varying degrees of good, but still good. Check them out:
I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History
The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Become Magicians
Ranma 1/2 (2024)
DAN DA DAN
Content Warning: DAN DA DAN contains a depiction of attempted sexual assault.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 134! We wrap up October with another horror anime. It's called, well, Another! While it had a strong start, it started to disappoint in various ways. You can see for yourself on Crunchyroll.
Content Warning: This anime has depictions of blood and gore, murder and suicide. These are mentioned in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for Episode 133! We watched Happy Sugar Life. And despite the name, it very much fits for an October episode. As unconventional as it may be. Toxic yuri doesn't get much more toxic than this! Check it out if you want, but heed the warnings below.
Content Warning: This anime contains blood, gore, violence, child abuse (both physical and emotional), torture, rape (including statutory), pedophilia, and grooming. These are discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 132 is here! It's October, which means it's time for spooks and scares! And why not go with The Junji Ito Collection to start off? Well... because it's just kind of okay. Being an anthology, there are definitely stand out stories, but also a number of duds. Regardless you can check it out on Crunchyroll!
A bit of a content warning as well, this anime contains blood, gore, body horror, and one of the shorts could trigger trypophobia.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 131! We watched the classic FLCL! And it's incredibly absurd. But in the best ways. Plus there's that soundtrack. Not really sure what else to say. Check it out however you can!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 130! We watched the recent anime Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night! And it has a lot of strong points. But it's also letdown by a few weaker elements, including a lackluster ending. Still, might be worth a look. Check it out on Hidive!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 129 is here! And we watched the legendary movie Akira! A movie which every animator loves to the point of wanting to homage it in all their works. And well, it is visually stunning. Too bad the narrative doesn't measure up. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 128! We're finally getting around to the new (summer 2024) anime season! And once again, the RNG demands blood. Or something, because we got some less than ideal picks. We do have one good one though. Check them all out (or don't, in one case):
2.5 Dimensional Seduction
Tasuketsu -Fate of the Majority-
The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human
VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 127! We returned to Hibike! Euphonium with the OVA and season 3. In which it's Kumiko's and Reina's third year of high school, and also their last chance to get gold at nationals with the Kitauji High School band. Even with the potential complication of a new euphonium player. Plus, there's still a bit of yuri bait. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 126 is here! And we went back to a franchise we haven't really talked about since 2019... talking about Raildex! Specifically, A Certain Scientific Railgun T, the third season of the good part of the franchise. And good news, this season is lives up to the previous two. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 125! It's still June! Which means it's still Pride month! And we took a look at Wandering Son. In this anime, two teenagers struggle with their gender identities. And as you might guess, it's a bit messy. And unfortunately, not currently available on any streaming service.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 124! It's June! Pride month! And we talked about the classic yuri Sakura Trick. Which has a very strong reputation among yuri fans. However... it's actually kinda... just okay? We get into why. Check it out on Hidive.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 123 is here! We watched WataMote. It's a cringe comedy. Which, as the genre suggests, can be difficult to watch. It has its moments, but sometimes Tomoko's behavior is incredibly frustrating. Check it out on Hidive.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 122! We finally watched a Studio Ghibli movie. And we decided on the 2001 classic, Spirited Away! And to be honest, the single biggest reason to watch this is for the visual spectacle. Not like the rest is bad, but that's what you're here for. Check it out on Max!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 121! Spring is here. Which means more new anime! And we got all romance this time (well, one of them the romance is significant, but not necessarily the main focus). And they vary a lot in quality. Check them all out:
Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again
A Condition Called Love
Mission: Yozakura Family
Whisper Me A Love Song
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 120 is here! After a short break, we watched Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. And if you haven't seen it yet, watch it. Because we spoil a lot about it, and what makes it so special to watch. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 119! We watched one of the classics, Ghost in the Shell! The original movie from 1995, to clarify. And here, nearly 30 years later, it's still fantastic. And thought-provoking. Check it out on Amazon Prime or Tubi (English dub only).
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 118! Nemesis finally got a Transformers anime on this podcast. Specifically, Car Robots! And it's a very goofy show. And the nice thing about it is that it doesn't require watching other shows beforehand. Or after. Of course, if you do want to watch it, well... it's not available for streaming in the US (neither is its dub Robots in Disguise).
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 117 is here! We talked about fairly recent movie, Suzume! And while it's made by the same people as Your Name, it doesn't really hit the same highs. Which is unfortunate, because it still manages to have a lot of good points. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 116! The first anime season of 2024 has started and we got a handful to take a look at. And, well, the selection wasn't great, to say the least. Three different fantasy anime, ranging from bad to... complicated. At least the fourth is something different. Check them out (or don't):
Ishura
The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids
Tales of Wedding Rings
Metallic Rouge
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 115! We watched a fun anime from last season, I'm in Love with the Villainess! And yes, it's incredibly gay. Overtly so! And it's also not afraid to get real about it. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 114 is here! And so is the new year! To kick off 2024, we watched Toradora! It's a rom-com, and it's a fun time with quite the cast of characters. Even if it does get a little melodramatic towards the end. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 113! It's the final episode of 2023, and we're looking at the final Rebuild of Evangelion movie! You know, Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 Thrice Upon A Time. And to be honest, it's a pretty great way to wrap up the entire series. So we talk about many of the things that make it work for us. You can check out the movie on Amazon Prime.

Time for episode 112! We watched Rebuild of Evangelion 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo. And we can comfortably say it's a bit lacking compared to the previous two movies. Still has some nice bits in it. Check it out on Amazon Prime.

Episode 111 is here! And we talked about the Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance! This is where thing significantly veer into new territory. Including introducing a new character! She sure is an odd one. And other existing characters definitely got tweaked a bit. Check it out on Amazon Prime.

Welcome to episode 110! We decided it was about time to watch the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. So we started with Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone! It's mostly a retread of the early episodes of the original series. Mostly. Definitely some noteable differences. Check it out on Amazon Prime.

It's a new season, so time for new anime! It's the Fall, specifically, and we watched the first three episodes of four anime. And they have that weird thing where they're all pretty different, but also have a few things in common with one another. But we have a birdman! A guy with way too many soulmates! A woman who may be a bit too genre savvy! And a girl who's absolutely in love with the villainess! Check them all out.

Time for episode 108! We watched Parasyte -the maxim-! It wasn't quite what we were expecting, but it managed to entertain. However, we did find some faults with it, including a weirdly shoehorned message. And some in odd music choices. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
Content Warning: This anime features blood, gore, body horror, and mentions of depression, trauma, and suicide. These topics are discussed in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 107 is here! We watched Serial Experiments Lain. A very of-its-time late 90s anime. Back when the internet was new to people and some were a bit scared of it. Lain really dips into those fears, plus a lot of other things. Although it's never straightforward about it. You can check it out on Funimation.
Content Warning: This anime opens with a suicide, deals with heavy and depressing subjects, and has some body horror.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 106! We jump back into idol hell... kind of. Love Live! has a spinoff for Sunshine!! called Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror (Genjitsu no Yohane). More fantasy! More YOHANE! And all the characters from Sunshine in a new world. But it's not an isekai. You can check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 105! We decided to watch a 90s anime. It's called Key the Metal Idol! It starts off pretty strong, but then it becomes an utter mess. A gorgeous mess, but a mess all the same. You can check it on Crunchyroll or RetroCrush. (note: the RetroCrush version only has English audio for the 2nd episode).
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 104 is here! And we're doing something a little different. An indie anime recently popped up called Volicia of Pluto -Vapor Trail Another Age 2006-. It's a mecha yuri anime. Didn't we just have one of those? Anyway, only one episode is out, but we wanted to talk about it before it's no longer available. Because it goes away at the end of the month. So check it out while you can on YouTube! (It'll be gone on August 31st!)

Welcome to episode 103! A new anime season is upon us, so we once again have 4 anime to randomly pick and discuss. We got some pretty good ones this time around, despite the generally lackluster season. Historical drama! Horror! Sci-fi! More horror!
Minor Content Warning:Emotional abuse is a core theme of My Happy Marriage, and suicide is briefly discussed during the Zom 100 segment.
My Happy Marriage

Synduality Noir (Disney+ for international)
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 103! We talked about the original Black Rock Shooter OVA and series. The ones from over a decade ago. In short, they're kind of a mess. But a stylish mess! And unfortunately, not available on any streaming service right now. You'll have to hunt down some Blu-Rays or something.
Content Warning:This anime has some brief depictions of child abuse and bullying. Those are brought up in the podcast.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 101 is here! We talked about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury! It's the newest iteration of the long-running series, and it's quite good. It also several firsts for the series as well. And there was a lot to talk about. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get to everything we wanted, but we tried. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 100! We're in the triple digits. And what better way to celebrate that milestone than by talking a big name anime. Like, say, Revolutionary Girl Utena? A surreal anime that is often visually gorgeous. Plus the very strange movie, Adolescence of Utena. You can check out the series on Crunchyroll, and the movie on Funimation or RetroCrush.
Content Warning:This anime has domestic abuse, suicidal ideation, sexual assault, rape, and statuatory rape. These are discussed in the podcast. The anime also has frequent bright, flashing lights. So epilepsy warning as well.

Time for episode 99! We're talking about Flip Flappers! It's a magical girl anime, and one that's quite the visual spectacle. It's also fairly gay, somehow both subtly and overtly. Simultaneously. Check it out on Hidive.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 98 is here! Ready for more steampunk spies? Good, because we watched Princess Principal Crown Handler Chapter 2! It has assassination attempts and Cavorite bombs. Plus the usual spy shenanigans. You can check it out for yourself on Hidive.

Welcome to episode 97! It's Spring, and it brought some new anime (and pollen, but we're not talking about that)! We got some pretty great draws this time around, with one exception. The entertainment industry is rotten! Bad cops fight cryptids! Actresses with supernatural power! And Class S yuri! Kinda. Check them out:
Oshi no Ko
THE MARGINAL SERVICE
World Dai Star
Yuri is my Job!

Time for episode 96! This time we watched the more recent anime about high school girls in a rock band, Bocchi the Rock! In which Hitori Gotoh has severe social anxiety and joins a rock band. This turns out to be more difficult than planned. But it sure is entertaining to watch. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 95 is here! We dove into K-On! An anime about a light music club and their various hijinks and shenanigans. We actually went longer than we thought on it, maybe because we enjoyed it. Also, there's one thing it's associated with that we briefly discussed. Check it out on Hidive (missing a season 1 bonus episode), and the movie can be rented on YouTube.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 94! We watched Revue Starlight! It's an absolutely wonderful anime, with fun and interesting characters, tons of style, and amazing music. You should probably check it out. It's on Hidive. And so is the movie.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 93! And we returned to the world of Madoka Magica! Unfortunately, not with the 4th movie, but with the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Magia Record. And while we though season 1 was solid but fell short of the original, seasons 2 and 3 are kind of a mess. For various reasons. You can check them out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 92 is here! And we returned to the world of Haruhi Suzumiya, with The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan! It's a bit of a what-if, taking place in a world without the supernatural. And it's also a romcom. Sot it's definitely a bit different from the original. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 91! We sample 4 mostly random anime from the Winter 2023 season, as is our tradition. We got a good variety this time around, too. Follow the adventures of an orphan and a demon, a princess and her not-yet girlfriend, a bunch of people running around with special playing cards, or a NEET turned into a middle-school girl, there's a lot. Check them out:
The tale of outcasts
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
HIGH CARD
ONIMAI: I'm Now Your Sister!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 90! We return to SPY x FAMILY! Because part 2 of season 1 aired. And we have a bit to talk about. Like new characters, new adventures, and even good ol' theory-crafting. You can check out SPY x FAMILY on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 89 is here to ring in 2023! And we talked about New Game, the anime about video game development. Kinda. And mostly focused on the art team. It definitely has its fun moments, but it also has a few odd problems. Some more obvious than others. You can check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 88! We watched Brand New Animal (or BNA if you prefer)! It's a Trigger anime, so it looks really good and it's full of style. Unfortunately, it's also rife with problems, particularly in the second half. You can check it out on Netflix.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
It's time for episode 87! This time around, we watched Hibike! Euphonium (or Sound! Euphonium if you prefer). On one hand, it's a fantastic anime about a high school concert band. On the other hand, it's some of the worst yuri-bait in recent memory. So yeah, some mixed (yet passionate) feeling on this one. We also talked a bit about the spinoff movie Liz and the Blue Bird. Check it out on Crunchyroll! And note that neither movie is currently available on streaming services.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 86 is here! After enjoying the first few episodes way back in our summer anime episode, we decided to watch the rest of Lycoris Recoil! And it was absolutely worth it. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 85! It's once again time to look at some of the current season's new anime. It's Fall, and the season is PACKED. We watched anime set in ancient China, one about ninjas, another about a guitarist with severe social anxiety, and Chainsaw Man. Are they good? Well, to varying degrees, yes. Check them out:
Raven of the Inner Palace
Shinobi no Ittoki
Bocchi the Rock!
Chainsaw Man
Content Warning: Chainsaw Man is kinda graphic, it has violence, blood, gore, and mentions of suicide.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
It's time for episode 84! Love Live! Superstar!! had a second season. So yes, there was some watching of it. This season is a first for LL, going beyond the usual single school year. Plus there's the 4 new first years. Also leaves a hook for the announced season 3. Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 83 is here! We watched Elfen Lied. We're not fans. For a variety of reasons. So yes, we rip into another classic anime. Fun for everyone! You can check out Elfen Lied on Amazon Prime (English dub only, missing OVA).
Content Warning: This anime contains violence, blood, gore, nudity, child abuse, animal abuse, sexual assault, rape, and torture. These are discussed in the podcast.

Welcome to episode 82! We watched some horse races. And by that, we mean, horse girl races. Because it was actually Uma Musume: Pretty Derby! The anime based on the gacha franchise where you train horse girls. Despite how it sounds, it's actually quite wholesome and fun. Check it out on Crunchyroll (or don't, considering...).
"Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
It's time for episode 81! We watched the classic anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, as well as its movie, The Disapperance of Haruhi Suzumiya. There is a lot to talk about, both within the anime and around it. So we weren't able to get to absolutely everything, but it was still a lot. Check it out on Crunchyroll (the movie is only available as a separate purchase).

Time for episode 78! Once again, it's time to sample the new anime from the current season, the summer 2022 one. And we got a good variety this time, too. An odd romance, a yakuza taking care of a kid, stand-up comedians, and some girls shooting criminals. Check them out:

Episode 77 is here! We went back to the wonderful show, SPY x FAMILY! The first half of the season is done, and we got to see so much more of the wonderful goofy characters in it.

"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 76! We watched the 2nd season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. And this season brought 3 new characters. One of whom was incredibly controversial beforehand, thanks to her role in the mobile game. She got better, though. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
It's time for episode 75! We talked about two very different anime in this one. The first is Netsuzou Trap, which is a generally uncomfortable to watch romance about two girls cheating on their boyfriends, but still possibly worth a watch. Then there's Kase-san and Morning Glories, which is a nice and wholesome anime about two girls dating in their final year of high school. Check out Netsuzou Trap on Crunchyroll and Kase-san and Morning Glories on Hidive!
Content Warning: Netsuzou Trap contains depictions of physical abuse, sexual assault, and cheating.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Hai! Episode 74 is here! We talked about YuruYuri, an incredibly silly anime about 8 girls in middle school. And tons of shenanigans and romance unfold throughout. Check it out on Crunchyroll! Note that the OVAs are not available for streaming.

"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 70! We watched Keep Your Hands of Eizouken! Like the anime in our previous episode, Eizouken is an anime that appreciates anime. But it does that from a creator's perspective. And on top of that, has some wonderfully imaginative ways of doing so. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
It's a nice time to listen to episode 69! We watched Anime-Gataris, an anime about anime itself. Specifically, being a fan of anime. And maybe a few other things. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 68 is here! We watched The Girl in Twilight. It's a pretty good anime that's a bit rough around the edges. And unfortunately, it never really took off. Check it out on Hidive!
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 67! We watched Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka. It's an anime that has a great concept. Unfortunately, it's marred by terrible execution. In several ways, including a pretty gross one. You can check it out on Crunchyroll (really don't recommend it though).
Content Warning: This anime contains depictions of torture and sexual assault. These are brought up in the podcast.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 66! We took a look at Little Witch Academia! It recently turned 5, and it's a very fun anime. Filled with great characters, interesting lore, and wonderful animation.

Welcome to episode 63! And the year 2022! We decided to revisit an anime we took a short look at around a year ago, Akudama Drive. It's a frequently violent (and gory) cyberpunk adventure. And a visually stunning one at that. Check it out on Funimation!
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 62 is here! We once again talk about an anime anthology. This time it's The Animatrix! And once again, general quality is a bit uneven, but it's still worth checking out. Like on HBO Max.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 61! And we watched Halo Legends! Timely, considering Infinite is about to release. Anyway, it's the anime anthology that came out over a decade ago. Which means quality can be a bit... inconsistent. Check it out on YouTube (it will cost money).

It's time for episode 58! We watched Wonder Egg Priority. It started off strong. But then we got to the end. Which pretty much ruined the whole thing. To the point there was genuine anger when we recorded this. But you can still check it out for yourself on Funimation.
CONTENT WARNING: This anime contains themes of suicide, suicide ideation, self-harm, body dysphoria, eating disorders, physical abuse, sexual abuse, rape, transphobia, and potentially homophobia. These themes are discussed in the podcast.

Episode 57 has arrived! And we took a look at an anime that many would consider a classic: Death Note! And, well, we kinda question if it deserves that status. Turns out it kinda hits different when you're not an edgy teenager anymore. Check it out on Funimation.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 56! This time around, we talked about Nichijou! It's a surreal comedy that's been getting more and more recognition as time goes by. Good thing too, because this anime is incredibly funny. Check it on Funimation.
Portions of "Dimension" by Creo and "Zephyr's Flight" by Michett are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 55 is here! In it, we talk about Azumanga Daioh. It's a very silly slice-of-life anime. And like any good slice-of-life anime, it has an incredibly fun cast of characters. Check it out on Hidive.

Episode 45 is here! Something different from the usual, we watched Interstella 5555. Which is essentially a long music video for Daft Punk's album, Discovery. Still, there is something to talk about!

Welcome to episode 43! And we're continuing the Madoka talk with Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story. It's a spinoff of Madoka Magica, and it has its share of fans... and detractors. It was also based on a gacha game. That's no longer available in North America. Check it out on Crunchyroll or Funimation.

Episode 42 is here! And we're looking at another classic anime, Puella Magi Madoka Magica! There's a lot to talk about. So much that this is our longest episode so far. Tragedy, misdirection, animation, and more. And of course, we also talked about Rebellion. Beware of a lot of mispronunciation. You can watch Madoka Magica on Crunchyroll, Funimation, Netflix, Hulu, and probably elsewhere. As for Rebellion... good luck!

Hey everyone, it's time for episode 41! This time around, we go back to the late 80s, so that we can go to the far off future of 2033. It's Bubblegum Crisis! The original series. A cyberpunk future in which robots with very funny names are the main enemy. Check it out on RetroCrush.

Welcome to episode 40! Considering Valentine's Day is right around the corner, we figured we'd take a look at rom-com. And we chose MY love STORY!! Nemesis and Alca7raz had a fun time with this one, mostly because of the improbably large Takeo. Check it out on Crunchyroll!
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 39 has arrived! A new season of anime has begun, so Nemesis and Alca7raz take a look at 4 random choices. And this time around, our random choices were kind of... weak. There's figure skating, angels, gamers, and bad cg to watch.
The anime this season were Skate-Leading Stars, Heaven's Design Team, Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki, and Scar On The Praeter.

Episode 38 is here! In it, Nemesis and Alca7raz make another trip into idol hell. Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is the third Love Live anime, and it changes things up a bit. Like a completely different animation studio, for one! Oh and the fact that they're not a single group but 9 separate solo idols. Well. Check it out on Funimation.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)r
Time for episode 37! Nemesis and Alca7raz look at a 15 year old somewhat obscure anime, Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl. Why this? Because it's special to Nemesis. Got the ball rolling on her figuring things out. Oh, it's also a yuri rom-com. With space aliens! If you want to watch it... RetroCrush has added it to their library!

Welcome to episode 36! Nemesis and Alca7raz took a look at Yuru Camp. It's a feel-good fun time. With a lot of great characters to boot. So grab a blanket and check it out on Crunchyroll (also check out the side series Room Camp).

Time for episode 35! This time it's the fairly recent "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!" That's a mouthful. Which is probably why it's often shortened to HameFura. Anyway, it's a reverse harem isekai. And it's quite endearing! Catch it on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 34! In this one, Nemesis and Alca7raz talk about Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. As many know, it's a crude sex comedy that is now 10 years old. And while it's often funny, there are definitely some bits which haven't aged well (and to be honest, weren't great to begin with). You can check it out on Funimation.

Episode 33 has arrived! Nemesis and Alca7raz once again take a look at four random anime from the new season. Quite the variety going on here. A heist, a crush, rap battles, and rock wall climbing. Some are good, some are okay, and some are just weird.
The anime watched were Akudama Drive, Adachi and Shimamura, Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle - Rhyme Anima, and Iwakakeru - Sport Climbing Girls.

Episode 32 is here! This time around, Nemesis and Alca7raz talk about School-Live!, aka Gakkou Gurashi. One should probably go into it as blind as possible, but just know things definitely aren't as they seem... Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 31! Nemesis and Alca7raz found an old horror anime called Lily C.A.T. to watch. Something about the movie feels kind of familiar... Actually a lot of things about it do. Almost as if it's very similar to another movie. Check it out on RetroCrush.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 30! Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is what Nemesis and Alca7raz are talking about this time. There's a lot to like about it. But... there's some parts that are kinda... well, gross. They get into all of that. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Episode 29 is here! Nemesis and Alca7raz go way, way back in the past in this one. It's actually the oldest anime we've covered so far. Namely, the original Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979. Kind of. They actually watched the 3 compilation movies that were made in the early 80s. And in many ways, they definitely show their age. Check them out on YouTube.

Welcome to episode 28! In this, Nemesis and Alca7raz take a look at Hinamatsuri, an anime that came out a couple of years ago. Honestly, it's a pretty fun time, and now they both want to check out the manga. How about that. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Episode 27, coming in hot! In this one, Nemesis and Alca7raz once again pick 4 random anime from the new season. And those picks sure were... something. And one of them apparently has developed quite the discourse around it (that we were unaware of)! The summer 2020 anime picked were Rent-a-Girlfriend, Monster Girl Doctor, Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!, and Lapis: ReLiGHTs.

Time for episode 26! Nemesis and Alca7raz return to the world of school idols, with a look at Love Live! Sunshine. A new school, a new group, and the same fun. But possibly a bit refined. Check it out on Crunchyroll or Funimation.

Welcome to episode 25! Nemesis and Alca7raz talk about an anime that's a pretty big deal: Cowboy Bebop. There's a lot one can say about it, and they only have an hour. There's so much to like about it. The characters, the world, the stories, THE MUSIC... it's fantastic. Check it out on Funimation.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 24 is here, and we're covering something we've wanted to talk about for literal months: PROMARE! Yes, the the Trigger movie that came out in 2019. Nemesis and Alca7raz adore this movie, and they'll talk about why. Seriously, go check it out.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 23! Pride month continues, this time with "Bloom Into You." Nemesis and Alca7raz liked this one quite a bit. Even read the manga to finish the story. Because these characters are incredibly compelling. Watch it on HIDIVE.

Welcome to episode 22, and Pride Month! Nemesis and Alca7raz decided to celebrate with some more overtly-gay-than-usual anime. And they started with Given! Being in a band! Dealing with heavy emotions! And more. Check out Given on Crunchyroll.

Time for episode 21! In this extra long episode, Nemesis and Alca7raz take a look at the fifth and final season of Sailor Moon, Sailor Stars. The season which shook things up a bit, but didn't always succeed. Plus some talk of ancient fandom stuff. Check out Sailor Moon on Hulu.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 20 is here! Despite everything, we've still managed to round up 4 anime to watch. Once again, we watched the first 3 episodes of each one. And of course, we talk about what we like, what we didn't, what we're hoping for, and what we're concerned about. The anime picked are Wave, Listen to Me!, Appare-Ranman, Diary of Our Days At The Breakwater, and Tower of God.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 19 is here! And it's Sailor Moon SuperS, the 4th season of Sailor Moon. Nemesis and Alca7raz enjoyed it, but not as much as previous seasons. And it's not any one thing, but a multitude of smaller problems that add up. Check out Sailor Moon on Hulu.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 18! Nemesis and Alca7raz are still doing the podcast over Discord. This time around it's Princess Principal, a story of spies in a steampunk world. And this was going to coincide with the new movie, but that got delayed. Still, this anime is a fantastic time. Check it out on HIDIVE.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 17! Despite... well, everything, Nemesis and Alca7raz managed to record, even if it has to be via Discord. This time around, it's Sailor Moon S (or Super), the third, and possibly best season so far! In it, Uranus and Neptune finally show up... and they're not always friendly. Check out Sailor Moon on Hulu.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 16 is here! Meet us on the battlefield to talk about Stella Women's Academy, a hobby anime about airsoft guns. And of course, the high school girls who play survival games with said airsoft guns. Plus, a few things that could take viewers by surprise.

Time for episode 15! This time, we go back to the world of Sailor Guardians, with Sailor Moon R! R is the second season of the Sailor Moon, and it brought some changes to the series.

"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 13! And in this one, Nemesis and Alca7raz tackle one of the biggest names in anime and manga: Sailor Moon! Well, the first season, anyway. A fun, if a bit formulaic, ride with the 5 Sailor Guardians. There's a lot to discuss, so they don't manage to hit every topic, but they'll have at least 4 more opportunities in the future... Check it out on Hulu.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 12, and the year 2020! Nemesis and Alca7raz have decided to take a look at Izetta: The Last Witch this time. Alternate universe WW2? A witch fighting nazis? Sounds like a fun time! Check it out on Crunchyroll.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
What's up? Episode 11, that's what. This time around, Nemesis and Alca7raz tackle Bodacious Space Pirates, an anime about piracy... in space. Kinda obvious. What's not so obvious is that it's quite a fun adventure! Check it out! The series is available on Crunchyroll and the series and movie are available on HIDIVE.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 10! Once again, we're sampling a handful of anime from the new season (this one being the fall 2019 season). Same as before, the first 3 episodes of 4 randomly picked anime. And this time around, it's Welcome To Demon School! Iruma-Kun, Ascendance of a Bookworm, Ahiru no Sora, and Didn't I Say To Make My Abilities Average In The Next Life?!. Yes, two of them are isekai. RNG sucks sometimes.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 9! In this one, we talk about High School of the Dead. It's... not great. And there are a lot of reasons for that, not just the most obvious one. Sometimes it feels like it's going out of its way to be this bad. So listen to us dunk on it!
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 8 is here! Love Live! is the topic this month. Well, the first anime, anyway. The one with µ's. And since it's a character-driven anime, we focus mostly on the characters. Good thing there are 9 of them to talk about. Also, prepare for a lot of mispronunciation. Sorry about that.
"Dimension" by Creo and "Sanctuary Of The Sky Gods" by Nathaniel Wyvern are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode 7! This time, we talk about an anime that is incredibly well known, Neon Genesis Evangelion (and End of Evangelion). There's a lot to talk about here, and we had no hope of talking about everything in an hour. But we tried! God we forgot how tough it can get to watch this...
"Dimension" by Creo and "Sanctuary Of The Sky Gods" by Nathaniel Wyvern are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 6 is here! This month, it's Kill la Kill! Remember, that anime from a few years ago? That's randomly getting a game soon? The ridiculous over-the-top one? The one that has absurd amounts of creepy fanservice? Yeah, that one. We talk about that and why it's one of our problematic faves.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Welcome to episode 5! This month, we talk about the Raildex franchise, aka A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun. Two anime series that are fairly intertwined. And unfortunately, one of them suffers from some... less than great execution. The other one is HYPE.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 4 has arrived! Nemesis and Alca7raz get a bit of talk about Lily Hoshikawa and British Parliament, which is just weird, funny, and sad. But then it's the main topics: four animes from the Spring 2019 season! Cinderella Nine starts things off with some baseball. Midnight occult civil servants then brings some supernatural creatures. AMAZING STRANGER has a creepy otaku and a living figure. And finally, Fruits Basket is a zodiac-based rom-com remake.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Time for episode the third! After a brief bit about April Fool's stuff, Nemesis and Alca7raz get into a recently aired anime: The Promised Neverland! One which they'd HIGHLY recommend watching with as little info as possible. So uh, go watch it and then come back. Seriously, it's much better that way.
"Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Episode 2 is here! Things start off with a small bit about some recent happenings in the world of anime, before diving into this month's topic: A Place Further Than The Universe. This anime series came out in winter 2018, and it quickly became well loved. Ostensibly, it's about 4 high-schoolers going to Antarctica. However, there is so much more to it than that. You should probably check it out before listening to us, because we get into some serious spoilers.

Welcome to a new podcast: New To Weeaboo! Join our hosts, Nemesis and Alca7raz, as they explore the weird and wonderful world of anime. They are relatively new to the medium themselves, and hope to bring a slightly less cynical perspective.
In this pilot episode, they start off with one of the notable animes of 2018, Zombie Land Saga! Or is it Zombieland Saga? It's never quite consistent. Anyway, they'll be talking about what made them enjoy this one so much, a few things they wish were done better, and what they hope for from a theoretical season 2. Join us!
