In this episode we dive into Gate part 1 an isekai that take a different approach to the usually genre and it was a recommendation from "Elf Daddy Girl Issues" and "Danner536". This anime certainly doesn't pull it's punches on how things would likely go when a you pit medieval against modern military dishing out some “f around and find out” pretty much through the whole story. The Character development and story was solid for the show and it was well worth the watch.

This week is a solo week as Rick is out sick and Jack dives into I'm Quitting Heroing. Thank you Goose for the recommendation! This anime changes up the normal anime narrative for Hero style anime in that rather then a journey to defeat th Demon lord our MC Leo is trying to join them. But that is just the start of it. This anime is well worth the watch and is has some comedic moments but it was still an overall solid story. So if you are looking for something that is unique then this may be for...

This week we get back into the goblin slaying world of Goblin Slayer. This season while our MC is still the main focal point we start to learn more about the others that are with him. We also go to see another side of him in more ways than 1. Add in the world building that they did and this season really helps lay out the foundation for more adventures and solid 3rd season should it ever come.

This week we dive into the second season of Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. The story largely just continues on with Maple and her guild, Maple Tree, continue exploring new levels and content in the game they play, New World Online. Maple continues to stick to her strategy of only maxing out her defense stat, continually stumbling upon overpowered, game-breaking skills that baffle the game's developers despite the fact that they were the ones that put them in. On thing more notable is that we felt like Season 2 gives more attention...

In this episode, we talked all about Code Geass Season 2. We dug into how it picks up right after the Season 1 cliffhanger, with Lelouch living a normal school life until his memories come back and he jumps right back into leading the Black Knights. Things quickly go from a local rebellion to full-blown global war. We also revisited out discussion on how Lelouch’s Geass works, especially its limits as a result of that some of that talk got a little off-track. But overall, we both agreed Season 2 tied up a lot of loose ends from the first season an...

In this episode, we discussed Season 1 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. And while we spent the episode mostly talking about the show and how it had and amazing story with some great writing. We also pointed out a couple of flaws along with a discussion about the Geass power's limits also got pretty heated and went way off into hypotheticals, maybe derailing things a bit. And the biggest negative we both agreed on? That incredibly frustrating cliffhanger ending!

In this episode, we're diving into season two of Jormungand. This season picks right up where the first left off, continuing the the journey of Jonah and the arms dealer, Koko. Season two delves deeper into Koko ambitious plan she calls "Jormungand" and how it is designed to reshape the global landscape in a maner of speaking and basically position her crew as the world's last soldiers in her mind. The show does maintains its globe-trotting adventure style, while also exploring deeper character development.Throughout this season though there were some significant shifts in character dynamics so to certain...

This week we talk about Jormungand season 1 and dives headfirst into the gritty world of arms dealing through the eyes of Koko, a cunning arms dealer backed by a team of seasoned bodyguards, veterans, and Jonah, a young boy-soldier. It explores themes of revenge, morality, weapons trade, giving you a solid story that is packed with action and drama. And the shows unique art style and dual-episode arcs provided engaging mini-stories that give you the feel of several short stories in 1 longer story. Although there were some brief moments that seemed slightly out of place, the series remains a...

In this week's discussion, we covered Season 2 of "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent" continuing our exploration from the previous week. This season dives deeper into Sei's journey as she learns to balances potion-making, monster-hunting, and her growing responsibilities and relationships. Additionally, Season 2 works on the world-building that was introduced in Season 1. We also highlighted Sei's character growth and the evolving romantic storyline.

This week we discuss "Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent" a fantasy romance isekai that is not like your typical action-packed isekais, this anime focuses on character growth through a slow-burn narrative following Sei. Instead of dwelling on this, Sei pursues her passions at a research institute where she discovers her magical abilities and lends a helpting hand to her new home. This isn't for viewers seeking fast-paced action but perfect for those who appreciate a strong female lead in a gradual romantic storyline, making it an excellent "palate cleanser" between more intense shows.

This week we dive into Kaiju No. 8. We break down the series, which follows Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old man who once dreamed of joining JAKDF, but instead finds himself cleaning up after the battles. But then his life changes when he ingests a parasitic kaiju, transforming into a powerful humanoid monster known as Kaiju No. 8. We discuss the anime’s strengths, from its storytelling and humor to its lack of filler episodes and excellent character development while also getting lost in the weeds for a couple of minutes as well by touching on the differences between sub and dub tr...

This week we talk about Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka and its dark twist on the magical girl genre. The story follows Asuka, a former magical girl struggling with PTSD, forced back into battle. While the show portrays trauma and military themes, the pacing, forced shifts in tone, and poor character development weaken it as a whole. We debate whether magic undermines the stakes, with Rick arguing it negates physical consequences, while Jack and CJ emphasize the psychological toll.

We had a blast this week diving into the comedic anime Let This Grieving Soul Retire! It was a wild and interesting adventure filled with humor and action. While we highlighted many of the anime's positive aspects, we couldn't ignore the areas that held it back just a bit. The storytelling and comedy were decent, but we felt the character development could've been stronger.

Still, it’s absolutely worth at least one watch—if you’re in the mood for something lighthearted, you’ll have a great time with it!

This week, it’s just Jack, and he had a great time with this show. The story had solid character growth and a decent narrative. That said, it was a story that was simply enjoyable—an easy watch.

This week, we talk about The Place Promised in Our Early Days, a solid movie set in an alternate reality. The story worked well for Jack but felt shaky at best for Rick.

We’re diving into Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom, a movie that fills in the gaps between Episodes 7 and 8 of Season 4. If you’re a fan of the series, this is a must-watch. The film delivers a solid story that stays true to the main series while adding its own flair. Expect some great comedic moments and intriguing scenes that expand on the main plot. It’s packed with everything you’d want from an Overlord movie – action, wit, and lore to bridge the story in Season 4.

It was a Jack solo episode this week, and let’s just say… it wasn’t his favorite. The pick was inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but it veered into parody territory, tweaking the original tale to fit the writer’s vision. For Jack, though, it just didn’t hit the mark. The story felt bland—like it was thrown together without a strong, cohesive narrative. Definitely one he wouldn’t revisit.

This week, we’re exploring a dark comedy with a unique take on the classic Truck-kun trope. Instead of transporting someone unwillingly, it brings over someone wishing to leave their current life. Our main character actively seeks death in this new world but ends up surviving against all odds at every turn. This twist on the usual formula offers a fresh perspective, but it’s important to note that the show deals heavily with themes of suicide, making it a thoughtful yet challenging watch.

This Week's Deep Dive: Godzilla: The Planet Eater

But it’s not without its sacrifices. The fallout from the second movie sets the emotional tone, making this finale even more intense. While it’s a complicated wrap-up, it does deliver closure. If you haven’t experienced these films yet, now’s the perfect time to binge-watch them all.

This week, we explored Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters—a blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling. While it honors the franchise’s legacy, this movie introduces a bold new narrative.

The premise is gripping: humanity flees Earth after Godzilla’s dominance, spending 20 years wandering in space. Forced to return due to dwindling resources, they find Earth changed in ways they could never have imagined. This is where the action truly begins.

In this episode, we dive into the anime Immoral Guild—an ecchi-heavy series that isn’t afraid to push boundaries. The show skates close to the line between fan service and something far more risqué, with scenes that might feel more "adults-only" than usual. Yet, underneath all of that, it’s a pretty straightforward story without much in the way of plot progression. For fans of mature anime, Immoral Guild might be entertaining, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

One thing the show does get right is its clarity: it answers all the questions it raises, wrapping...

This week, we dove headfirst into a hilarious and refreshing take on the isekai genre with Trapped in a Dating Sim.

It’s a unique spin that’s full of laughs and unexpected twists. Haven't watched it yet? If you're looking for a fresh isekai with a dash of satire, this is one you don’t want to miss!

This week we get transported to another world only before we actually get there we get lost in the weeds with random details but after a few minutes we get back on track and then finally get to our destination. And it was an interesting one at that. It takes the normal genre and give the protagonist a set of skills that they had in their previous life but even with that, it ultimately still follows the same tropes for the anime and they also leave out a lot of detail, but even with that it was an entertaining...

This week, we explore another mesmerizing Ghibli movie! It’s a must-watch, filled with the magical elements we've come to love from Ghibli. However, it does carry a heavier tone in some spots. And if Spirited Away wasn’t your cup of tea, this one might not be either, as it shares a similar vibe—but if you like it then you may just like this one was well and it is also perfect for introducing anime newcomers to this fascinating genre.

This week's episode comes from a recommendation by Goose in our Discord community. "Love Tyrant" (Renai Bōkun) was an interesting choice, to say the least. This anime pokes fun at other anime tropes, and while it follows the standard harem style, it’s packed with comedy, making it an easy and enjoyable watch. If you’re looking for something light and funny without a deep storyline, this is a perfect pick for a quick break from your usual anime lineup.
