Monday Sep 12, 2022
Monday Sep 12, 2022
KC is back for the first time since January. We really should do this more often.
Kotatsu Corner is our side-show where we talk about non-anime related crap that we just have to get out of our system. On this one, con-certs, con-ventions, and the con-fluence of other topics. Topics include Cuphead, My Chemical Romance, Raleigh Gamer and Geek Expo, Super Mario 64, and more.
Hosted by Austin, Ryan, and Will. Special thanks to BASIL for our brand-new show logo.

Tuesday Aug 30, 2022
Tuesday Aug 30, 2022
Do your mice even lift, bro?
The next chapter in the Demon Slayer saga has arrived! Austin, Tori, and Sarah chat about the latest entry, The Entertainment District Arc, where Tanjiro and the gang team up with a duel-wielding hashira and his kunoichi polycule to fight against their most terrifying foes yet. We cover what we liked, didn't like, major themes, and how this arc fits into the overall tale of Demon Slayer.
In the opening we chat about some Anime Expo announcements we're looking forward to.

#127 - Spring 2022 Anime Season Review!
Thursday Aug 11, 2022
Thursday Aug 11, 2022
As the Summer season trucks on, we're here to be late as usual and cover the absolutely STACKED spring 2022 anime season! By our rough and unscientific analysis, spring tends to be the season each year that goes all-out and 2022 is no different with the likes of SPY X Family, Ya Boi Kongming, and RPG Real Estate knocking people's socks off.... or not?
Hosted by Bill (@wbforeman999), Sarah (@uniquexharmony), and Tobias (@reverend_tobias)!

Macross Frontier finally came to the states officially for the first time! Fathom Events and Big West brought us the two theatrical films The False Songstress and The Wings of Farewell in June, 2022. Long-time Frontier fan Sarah takes newbie Austin on a musical journey into our review of both films. This is another long one since we're covering both films AND Anime Expo decided to drop a ton of Macross news items on our heads so not only do we have one news segment but TWO! Anyway, you like listening to our voices, right? I certainly hope so. And if you don't, there's plenty of Ranka and Sheryl interspersed throughout the episode to make up for it. Enjoy our review of Macross Frontier the Movies!

#123 - Night on the Galactic Railroad (& other Kenji Miyazawa anime)
Sunday Jun 12, 2022
Sunday Jun 12, 2022
Put on your otter-skin coats for a journey into some classic Japanese children's literature. On this episode, Austin and Bill are talking about the 1985 classic anime movie Night on the Galactic Railroad based on the influential children's novel by Kenji Miyazawa. We're also talking about some adjacent anime including 1997's Spring and Chaos and 2012's The Life of Budori Gusuko. In the pre-show we talk about what we've been watching in the current anime season including Spy X Family, Ya Boi Kongming, and Birdy Wing. We recorded this a few weeks back so we're not completely up-to-date but it's good enough. Anyways, hope you enjoy the episode! Why are they cats? I guess you'll find out.
Hosted by Austin (@bebopshock and @bebopshock@mastodon.social) and Bill (@wbforeman999).

Monday May 09, 2022
Monday May 09, 2022
Here it is! Our Definitive Top 15 ranking of the best anime movies of the 2010s. We said we were going to do this all the way back in episode 89 where we talked about our favorite TV series' of the decade, but shortly after that a little global pandemic came along and garbled our brains. Two years and 20+ episodes later, we finally came through! Please enjoy this fun episode that pretty well defines our tastes as a podcast.
Shout out to the Insert Credit Podcast for the template that we borrowed to do our rankings. If you have an issue with our list, cry to us on social media about it! Do it! For those that don't want to listen and just want our list, you can check it out on Austin's Anime-Planet profile here.
Hosted by Austin (@bebopshock and @bebopshock@mastodon.social), Tori (@WorstWaifu and @WorstWaifu@mastodon.social), and Tobias (@Reverend_Tobias and @Reverend_Tobias@mastodon.social).
