We're doing hard time! It's episode 30, and that means we continue our ecchi episodes on the 10s with a show that takes ecchi to it's utmost limit, Prison School. This show has everything, insanely (and impossibly) busty women who sweat a lot, BDSM violence, and all the eye-nippling, stilleto butt piercing, and pants s***ing you could ever hope for. Joining us on this ludicrous delight is returned weeb wannabe Travis who has become a true believer. Come prepared and that means Hindu squats and door pull ups (just don't get your panties caught on the doorknob though).

Look in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane! No it's a busty fist type angel fighter, and she really wants your attention! This week the guys tackle the shows that began and ended at the same time as Hoobastank, the sudden girlfriend anime genre. We will be discussing why anyone would leave an inoperative robot girl in the trash, the burn patterns of anime kimonos (underboob up), and the inappropriateness of the teacher from DearS. Not only will this show make you nostalgic, but will also make you question whether these shows can be done today. Shows discussed were Chobits, DearS, and Sekirei.

There is so much to say about this show, but we can't say it due to our bamboo ball gags. All joking aside, the guys tackle this week the show that is taking the shounen world by storm Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Why does Nezuko go from demon bad ass to puppy in a matter of seconds, does Tanjiro really need to stick his nose in everything, why is child death so ho hum in this show. We try to find out all this in more as we try to breathe so hard we cut rocks in half.

Thank you to everyone who helped carry us to 25 episodes of our wacky little podcast! In honor of your achievement we will be sending you face first into a firehose of purely terrible, inconceivably bad anime. We are talking lady bounty hunter sports girls with diarrhea in space, talking farts, a moe girl eating her onii-chan, and just the worst rip-off of the Neon Genesis Evangelion. The guys try their best to roast marshmallows near the heat of these dumpster fire properties. Enjoy!!!

Hut Hut HIKE! This week the guys literally and metaphorically tackle the super fun, cartoony shounen American football anime Eyeshield 21. This show makes every snap, tackle and pop look like it came straight out of the Avengers. Garrett cringes at the thought of the Spear Tackle, Kyle introduces his new anime singer character Takeshi Rockabilly, and they both try their best to not be losers drinking up the sherbet of the melting sun (don't worry that makes sense in the podcast).

The three words to describe this show are breasts, guns, and zombies. Kyle and Garrett are joined this week by John and Kevin's Big Stupid Podcast to traverse the ecchi, harem, high school horror drama High School of the Dead. Is this the point where we reach too much fanservice? Is it necessary for Shizuka's breasts to go boing boing, and why is it that Rei manages to make a great sniper rifle tripod? All this and more, as we try to even bother talking about zombies.
