We all love a good beach episode, because we all love going to the beach. Get out there, hang out with your friends, and have a grand old time.

Plus, it was a disappointing week for both our boys for so many reasons; but at least we got to watch the best Fate movie ever made.

It's Father's Day, which means it's time to give credit to the dads of anime. And throw shame on the fathers who shirked their duties...or almost caused the destruction of the world.

But this week, we discuss all of the locations we'd like to see recreated in our world, from the intimate to the expansive.

It's time to get nostalgic! This week, we begin a long journey to discover the best year in anime history by discussing the shows we were watching when we were wee lads in 1999. It was also a banner week for Joe, as we got announcements for a new Judgment game and the first chapter of Choujin X. Steve seems unimpressed at the growing number of Rubber Men in manga.

As always we've been thinking about Fate; specifically, watching Emiya and his friends just chillax and make some bacon sandwiches. With the announcement of a new game centered around Today's Menu for the Emiya Family, we pose the question: what other anime deserve a cooking spinoff.

We dive deep into the shows people would classify as isekai, and somehow...the answers will surprise you.

We promised it a couple of weeks back, but we got new shows to watch! And in all honesty, there are some hot ones: a few returners, a few new ones, and a sleeper hit or two for good measure. We share our thoughts on all of them before talking a bit on our decision process in choosing new shows in general. The Wheel of Fate sent us to the darkest timeline. Will fortune ever shine down and return us to the heights of this franchise?

Anime opening are about the hypest songs around; whether it be Tank!, Cruel Angel's Thesis, or The Rock City Boy, listening to these songs will make you feel like you can summon your own Spirit Bomb and take on Frieza, Cell, and Buu at the same time. This week we discuss our favorite Anime Songs and what makes a good anime opening. Meanwhile, the Grail attempts to use the Wheel of Fate to drive a wedge between the boys.

It was a busy week on the non-weeby side of the USA this week, as the Presidential Election loomed large. Rather than just stare at the slow crawl of numbers coming in, we decided it was the perfect night to turn to that one thing that's never let us down: anime. And boy, did we take some weird chances on shows.
In other news, why does the Wheel of Fate hate us? Did Steve buy a new figurine? Can we rescue Zero Two from the depths of the Waifu Watch? You'll have to listen to find out; as always, if you'd like to be part of the show, email us at weebweeklypodcast@gmail.com!

Sony might be buying Crunchyroll, which is actually kind of a big deal! Steve might be buying new figurines, which is also kind of a big deal!

It's that spooky time of year! Let's get scared and talk about the Horror Anime that have stuck with us over the years: from the supernatural to serial killers, we've got it all. Except for one grievous error Joe made by leaving out a certain ghoulish show; he apologizes for that.
We also surprisingly rave about this week's Fate spinoff, and we have our first ever listener suggestion for the Waifu Watch. If you'd like to berate Steve for not buying new figurines, feel free to email us at weebweeklypodcast@gmail.com!

There is an age old war waged by anime fans: the eternal struggle of subs vs. dubs. Many friendships have been broken because one person preferred not to have little words at the bottom of the screen while they watched Goku charge a Spirit Bomb. Today, we hope to broker a truce by discussing the English Dubs we think are...pretty dang great! Also, is Evangelion our new Sword Art? We've been talking about it a whole heck of a lot over the past few weeks.

We've been watching a lot of new Fall Shows over the last couple of weeks, and we'd love to tell you about them: completely new starts, new seasons of shows we already love, and continuations of shows we never expected new content from.

The Fall season is upon us; some anime are ending, some are just beginning. We may not make it to the finish line on all of them, but the ones we do must have something special about them. Great characters, great music, great animation, great fights...or they're Gibiate. We break down just how wild this show is and discuss some anime that missed the mark for us.
Plus, Steve takes us on an impromptu journey through his early years dabbling in Anime AMVs. If you'd like to be a part of the show, please reach out to us at weebweeklypodcast@gmail.com!

A Live Action Yakuza adaptation got announced, willed into existence by Joe's prediction from two weeks ago. Probably not, but it's still very exciting! We get into some speculation and build our (bad) dream casts for the movie.
