Episode 27 - Psycho-Pass (Nancy's Favourite Anime)
12/21/2023

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share today's episode as it's discussing my favourite anime, Psycho-Pass. If you like dystopian futures, crime & detective themes, as well as bad boys - this is the anime for you! Join Mo and I as we discuss this psychological cyberpunk. We tried to keep the discussion to season 1, but as always, our curiosity got the best of us and we got carried away. Beware, there are minor discussions of later seasons and the movies!

Episode 26 - Classroom of the Elite or Classroom of the Misfits?
12/07/2023

Let classes commence! This episode, we dive into Classroom of the Elite. At first, we intended this episode to just focus on season 1, but our curiosity got the best of us, and we ended up exploring the entirety of the light novel up to it's most recent update. Whoops! That being said, PLEASE beware of the spoilers. Join us as we discuss how ridiculous the school is along with its students and our favourite ships.

Episode 25 - A Critical Look at Violet Evergarden
11/24/2023

Hello anime fans! Boy do we have a doozy for you this episode. Strap in as Mo and I argue the two opposing sides in the Violet Evergarden fanbase. Was the age gap between Violet and Major Gilbert acceptable? Let's talk about it! We'd like to acknowledge that we both love this anime a lot, but why not make things interesting and have a healthy debate on this topic?

11/09/2023

Episode 22 - What in the World Happened in Heavenly Delusion??
10/12/2023

Hi friends! Welcome back to For the Love of Anime. This week's episode is a technical one. Essentially, Mo explains the entire plot of Heavenly Delusion to me (Nancy) as this is probably one of the most complex anime we've covered. Sit back and listen to Mo's explanation while I chime in here and there with goofy comments.

Episode 21 - A Discussion on My Dress-Up Darling: How much Fan Service is too much Fan Service?
09/28/2023

The answer is none! Unless it's a teenage girl in question... in which this anime has both Mo and I side-eyeing. Other than the huge ecchi stamp, we really enjoyed this anime! Join us as we discuss having passionate interests, being emotionally mature and... love hotels???

Episode 19 - Is Trigun Stampede Overrated?
08/31/2023

Have you ever seen clips of an anime, especially of a specific character, and decided to watch the entire season simply based on that? You are not alone! I (Nancy) have done this many times, and for this particular anime, Trigun Stampede, I had my eyes on Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Mo and I went into this anime blind with no knowledge of the plot whatsoever. We also have not seen the original Trigun from 1998. Enjoy our completely unbiased review of this popular sci-fi anime!

Episode 18 - Is Another Scary or Just Stupid?
08/17/2023

Hello hello! Hope everyone is doing well because I (Nancy) am not after watching this horror anime. Said anime is called "Another" and it explores a small town with a cursed classroom. Mo recommended this show, and while my fragile heart could handle it, my logical brain could not. We wanted to cover horror for the sake of variety on the podcast, but perhaps the horror genre is not for all.

Episode 15 - The Problems with Blue Lock
07/06/2023

Hello soccer fans! This week we cover Blue Lock, a popular sports anime that, as you can guess, is soccer-centred. Mo provides good insight having played the sport before. I (Nancy), on the other hand, show the listeners just how little I know. Nevertheless, we both enjoyed the anime. Join us as we discuss the importance of teamwork, dribbling techniques, and the villain > hero dynamic all while addressing characters by their hair because there's too many of them!!

04/13/2023

Hi everyone! We’re back with our first revisit. This episode, we dive into season 2 of Demon Slayer. Although season 1 was mid for Nancy, she is now a fan due to a flashy, dripped out character (iykyk). On the other hand, Mo is sick (allegedly).

Episode 0 - Let's Reminisce about High School with Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
01/26/2023

Hi everyone! This is our pilot episode. I know it’s not the best in terms of audio and production. My day job is a baker, so I have zero transferable skills to this - haha! But if you ask anyone close to me what my best quality is, it’s that I always pull through (and I make the meanest earl grey cake). I promise, the podcast will get better, so hang tight and enjoy our episode on this adorable coming-of-age anime.
