FAP-248 - Hell's Paradise - Backstories Before Dying Please

This week we delve into a hellish style of paradise. We both liked the art and it the music was solid but the story was a little lacking and filled with needless information and backstories. With a short series being only 13 episodes the information that it gives you is shallow and leaves the ending open.
Next week's choice is Classroom Of The Elite. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend what we should watch next!

FAP-247 - Noblesse - The Noblest of Nobles

This week we talk about Noblesse. The Noblest of Nobles is a solid story. It also helps if you watch the OVA awakening first to help provide some context on the story as a whole. It was a good show Rick liked it more then Jack. The animation was solid but there were some story parts the music was seamlessly integrated into it as well.

FAP-246 - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Scarlet Bond - The Main Main is Not Really The Main

This week we talk about the movie for That one Slime anime... You know the one we talked about for the last 2 weeks? Well, now it is the movie's turn! And it did not disappoint. But it did feel like the main character from the series, Rimuru, was more of the side character than the main character. While talking about the anime we also get lost in the weeds. Overall though the story was good and we enjoyed watching it.

FAP-245 - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 - All About The Small Details

We continue on our slime journey with season 2 of the series. And honestly, for us, it was still solid. While the story did backtrack a little bit, it was done in a way that made it seamless and helped you to understand the events that were transpiring. Overall, it is a show that you should watch with season 1.

FAP-244 - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime - More Than Battery Power Magic

We talk about a time when we got reincarnated as a slim.... Or rather we talk about a show like that this week. We can't help but get lost in the weeds when we talk about certain point so f the show but it is an overall great show.

FAP-243 - The Eminence in Shadow - So About Those Feathers

This week we take the seat of a background character while we look on over the world that Cid who is realizing his dream of being the Eminence in Shadow. But that is not all Rick can't help but focus on things that don't really pertain to the story.

FAP-242 - Reincarnated as a Sword - Just Looking To Evolve

This week's choice was chosen by Black Cat Jeb. And it was a cut and entertaining choice. The story was solid and it had decent character development. The overall growth was there the story was fun to watch. The only issue is that the story was rapid and really compressed but understandably so.

FAP-241 - Tengoku daimakyo - I Claim Your Statements As My Theory
This was quite the turn of events for this week's choice. They flip-flop between 2 different stories. But each story is unique and they tell a different view as to what is happening. But one of the best things about this week's choice is that they did not skimp on the art for it and it had a solid foundation for the story as well. It is one that we both recommend that you give it a watch.
Next week's choice is Reincarnated As A Sword which is a recommendation from Black Cat Jeb Have you seen...
FAP-240 - Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar - He's A Good Guy
This week we talk about one of Rick's favorite genres and he also can't help but gush over the main character. But in all seriousness, we both enjoyed the show and while it did not leave much to the imagination they did help show and explain several aspects of what was going on and the environment of the world that Kenshi was brought to.
Next week's choice is Tengoku Daimakyou as recommended by Mitkyu. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend...
FAP-239 - Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaea - A Different But Good Story
This week we revisit the world of Gaea, but this time it was a vastly different world. The story was also vastly different but in our opinion, it was also a far better story. If you are looking for a direct comparison to the series then you are not going to find it. The similarities were few but the story of growth and struggle where still there. You can tell that they took the time and cared about this one.
Next week's choice is Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar. Have you seen next week's choice or...
FAP-238 - Beast Tamer - He Is The Real Hero
This week's choice was a good one and it was a light-hearted entertaining story that doesn't take the normal route of pointing out the hero and guides you through the world of someone that is truly the hero and shows it with their actions rather than them being appointed it. It is an entertaining show that we feel you should check out as it is worth the watch.
Next week's choice is Escaflowne: The Movie. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or...
FAP-237 - The Vision of Escaflowne - A Solo Jack Episode

This week it is just Jack and what a show it was for a solo episode. The show was unique for it being an original and they made it certainly feel that way. The music was certainly from the 90s and the animation felt that way. But it was certainly worth the watch if you have not seen it.

FAP-236 - Blue Submarine No. 6 - Everyone Has Nukes

We review this week's choice and it was quite the adventure. Jack didn't really care for it but Rick liked it and it was a good show for him. The story is all about trying to save the world which they are trying but they just are not what it needs. The characters were cookie-cutter-ish. It is a short one and it was easy to get through. The music was one thing we both agreed on and the soundtrack is solid.
Next week, we're watching The Vision of Escaflowne, a classic mecha anime about a high...
FAP-235 - Armitage III Dual-Matrix - The Real Real

We revisit Armitage III and this time this is the movie. There was an animation change between this and the OVAs. The plot holes problems with the story the poor animation all stack up against it. Maybe just maybe we will get some clarification on stuff but in the end, we actually don't and we are left with more questions.

FAP-234 - Armitage III - A Cyberpunk Noir But Not Really

This week we dive into Armitage III - an original anime that draws inspiration from both cyberpunk and noir aesthetics, along with some solid foundation on shows and movies that is pulls from. While it may not be a top-tier show, it's definitely worth at least one watch for any fans of the sci-fi genre.

FAP-233 - Ni No Kuni - Trust the Obvious Bad Guy.

This week we talk about Ni No Kuni and it was certainly an interesting one to say the least. The story felt sloppy and the characters were not likable and they did not have much in the way of clarification about things. But the artwork was nice for the most part.

FAP-232 - Metal Skin Panic Madox-01 - It's Mine Now So Nanners Nanners

We can't help really pick apart this movie that has a lot of flaws and we have a fair amount of issues with it as well. The story was poor and the main protagonist was not the sharpest tool of in the shed. This is one movie that we both really did not like.

FAP-231 - Penguin Highway - But Not Really A Highway

The choice for this week was unique and it was one that was certainly reminiscent of a game for Rick though it feels like he is confused about which one. But the movie is one that has great artwork, sound, and flow but the main protag did rub us the wrong way. But even with that, the movie is worth a glance at least.
Next week's choice is Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them or give us a...
FAP-230 - Sword of the Stranger - Avatar The Nameless Swordsman

We are split on this one. Rick loved the show and gave him nothing but good things to say. They Movie had the same animation style as Avatar the Last Airbender and also had some inspiration from Rurouni Kenshin at the same time.
But the story felt cookie-cutterish and was predictable but it did not detract from how much Rick liked it. Jack on the other hand did not like it because of the story or the Avatar style inspired animation. He had more negative to say about the movie as a whole.
Next...
FAP-229 - Hal - No Not The 9000 Model

We talk about the issues that we had with the movie and also what we linked about the movie. This week's choice left us a little split on how we felt the movie went and for one of us we had more negative things to say about the movie than anything else.
Next week's choice is Sword of the Stranger. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them or give us a recommendation on what we should watch next!

FAP-228 - Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon... - Strong For Some But Weak For Others

The weeks choice is one we can't help but second guess everything we are capable of. But besides that story was shallow and held no substance besides the show as a whole. The character development was almost non existent and the overall story was lacking. But the artwork was great and they certainly did not skimp on that.
Next week's choice is Hal. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend what we should watch next!

FAP-227 - Drifting Home - In More Ways Than 1

This weeks choice we drift through the movie we talk about and it was a touching movie that is about personal growth. It also giver both a literal and metaphorical meaning on the title of the movie.

FAP-226 - Jujutsu Kaisen Series - Eat A Finger for Admission

This week we talk Jujutsu Kaisen season 1 and the story was solid and entertaining. However Jack takes some jabs at Rick in the form of friendly banter giving him a hard time for not remembering the key points that he had questions on. But all in all they both enjoyed the show.

FAP-225 - Memories - Because 1 Memory Wasn't Enough

This week was a "movie" but in actuality it was 3 short stories. Each one being independent, though Rick tries to tie them all together. The first one being the best for us and then it was all downhill from there. Each story has its own unique style and story to tell. But then it also has no story to really tell. The animation for each one was unique each with its own look and feel.
Next week's choice is Jujutsu Kaisen. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know...
FAP-224 - Jujutsu Kaisen 0 The Movie - The Prequel Is Cursed To Be Good

This week we talk about a great movie that serves as a pre-qual for the series. One of the positive things about the movie is that it does not re-require that you watch the movie first. The story is solid and the art was very well done. It is well worth the watch with the solid story and character development.
Next week's choice is Memories. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of them or give us a recommendation on what we should watch next!<...
FAP-223 - DNA² Squared - Time Traveling Great-Granddaughter Included

This week we talk about time traveling and how the show had plots and issues with how things conflicted with itself in the show several times. It was a nonsensical show that was shallow in substance bit we had fun talking about it.

FAP-222 - Riddle Story of Devil - No Real Riddles Or Assassins

This week we solve the story riddle that was presented to us but there was no real answer so it was all pointless in the end. It focuses on a classroom of would-be assassins and they're being dazzled with the promise of being given anything that they want. Haru and Tokaku fend off the relentless attacks from the inept assassins in the class with the goal of Haru being the one to graduate from the class.

FAP-221 - When The Wind Rises - Passion Flys With Help

This week we talk about a recommended movie called When Wind Rises and it follows the life of Jiro. While the person and what they accomplished is true there are a fair number of creative liberties taken for how they were. It shows the true passion someone can have and how love can also change a person for the better. Join us as we rise with the wind.

FAP-220 God Eater - Game Not Required

This week we talk about God Eater which to say for Rick was a treat but for Jack not so much. The discussion that they have is full of fun and banter like always but they just can't some of the plot protection that are in the series.

FAP-219 How Not To Summon A Demon Lord Season 2 - More Ecchi With No Answers

This week, we delve into why it's best not to call forth a Demon Lord, exploring some rather dubious situations along the way, where clothing is seemingly an optional extra. Despite its brief run-time, this season opened up multiple plot-lines and only resolved one, alluding to the possibility of a follow-up season. Rick appears to be the only one who is pushing for a third series, while Jack appears uninterested and nonchalant.

FAP-218 And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online? - Real World Problems IRL

This week, we are excited to welcome Rick back as we discuss "And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online?", an interesting selection that humorously addresses delicate issues and our capacity for strong emotion in the midst of consistent connections through various channels.

FAP-217 Summertime Rendering - With Special Guests CJ and HMG

Jack had two special guests on the podcast this week as Rick wasn't able to attend. Taking a novel approach, neither HMG of "Will I continue Podcast" nor CJ of "Anime Anonymous" had seen the anime of discussion before. His aim was to pitch a convincing argument as to why his listeners, as well as his guests, should watch it. Did Jack achieve his goal?

FAP-216 - The Saga Of Tanya The Evel - She Just Wants The Easy Life

Taking a journey down memory lane with Tanya the Evil was an enjoyable experience, as the story was solid and the artwork spectacular. Despite this, Rick seemed unable to resist getting bogged down in minor details. Has Jack been able to supply him with the answers he needs, or will his inquiries remain unresolved and leave him in a state of puzzlement?

<...FAP-215 - Recovery of an MMO Junkie - They Only Fed Their Addiction

This week we visit a quant show that was enjoyable and easy to watch. The character development was solid and the story was fun. It is a show that anyone can connect with. This is also a show that would be a good introduction to anyone that is looking to get into anime and does not know where to begin when looking for a comedy romance show.
Next week's choice is The Saga Of Tanya The Evil. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of...
FAP-214 - From Up On Poppy Hill - We Had Our Signal Flags Up

This week's choice was a great one. And it was one that Jack's wife lived as well. The artwork was on point the music was on point and the story flowed effortlessly. You have the great makings of a story and it is delivered with flying colors. That being said, if you are looking for the usually magical and fantasy world that you have come to expect from Ghibli then this will disappoint you this is a movie that is more so grounded in reality so the expectation should be of that and nothing more. This is a story...
FAP-213 - Link Click - A Picture Links with a Click

This week we travel back through time with a picture to gather some information. And like this show things don't always go as planned. With that being said the story is lacking and you are in a state of just being. Towards the end of the show they introduce a new element to it all which interrupts the flow of it along with the time traveling aspect of it just makes it feel of. But they do touch on certain aspects of it time traveling making it easier for you to follow and understand.

FAP-212 - Erased - He Kept Trying To Fix It

This week we talk about Erased and it was a solid show for both of us. And though we don't have too deep of a conversation about it there can be several conversations that can be had on this as it does touch on several aspects of life some of which can provide you an insight as to how the general population is as a whole.
Next week's choice is Link Click. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend what we...
FAP-211 - Noir - No It's Not A Mystery

We Talk about a mystery of a show on why people thought it was good. It was a slow show that made no sense at all. The music selection was bad the story did not make sense and it was not worth the time to even watch it for us. In all honesty when looking at MAL for what they scored it made us question why people loved it.
Next week's choice is Erased. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what you thought of it or recommend...
FAP-210 - Horimiya - We Got To Be Ourselves

This week is a solid choice and one that we both enjoyed. It was an enjoyable and easy to watch show. While it does mainly focus on the relationship of Hori and Miyamura it does give all the other characters that they focus on their justice and own development. Making it a very well rounded story. And while it does not shine in any particular area it does not lack either. It is one that we will be watching again and it is worth the watch if you have not seen it already.
Next week's choice...
FAP-209 - Big Fish And Begonia - And It Was Not Bologna

This week we have varied views on this movie. For Rick, it was a beautiful great movie, and for Jack not so much. Jack ultimately brings up some views on why he was not really impressed with the movie which swayed Rick into a lower score than what he had been planning on giving it but for him, it was still a solid movie and worth the watch.
