A Study in Sakuga

We admittedly have a bit of a weird energy on this one, after talking about Mariah Carey and Hallmark movies we eventually talk about Cowboy Bebop, Spike's bounty hunting skills, pre-eaten hot dogs, Spike being bugs bunny, a good scientist, seems that way guy, lots and lots of crabs, and lost dogs. See you later Anime Sherlock... 

Can you believe this podcast is being released while one of the hosts is on his honeymoon? Well you better. In this episode we talk about the Thanks Gibbon, everyone's favorite hungry holiday ape, Kirishima's and Tetsutetsu's friendship, the appearance of a very Liefeld Villain, the mechanics of Iida's legs, how much Endeavor gets owned by his son, Daffy Deku and Bugs Bakugo, Holden learns what ganbare means, more bad publicity for Bakugo, and a surprise turn of events for this very podcast.

Using the supreme power of scheduling we bring you this episode of podcast, the same week that Holden is getting married. We talk wedding bells, the optics of blasting a cute girl with grenade hands, character dubs, Endeavor's further revealing to be an awful person, breaking of fingers, and Deku's need to be friends with everyone.

As we continue on with our marathon recordings we get into the meat of the tournament arc and our detectives are a tad underwhelmed. In this episode we talk about mind control, deku not taking instructions, spooky visions, a lot of very fast fights, aggressive marketing tactics, and deku's absolute lack of any game.

The detectives are back and they come with holiday spirit and ready to get the tournament of this tournament arc started in earnest. Episode topics include HAPPY HALLOWEEN, our new friend Tokoyami, some interesting sneak peaks at class 1-b, dramatic hallways, the prince of nonsense, Endeavor being just an awful person, recreational games and wondering how anyone gives Mineta the time of day.

Really hope you weren't expecting short episodes from now on because our intrepid detectives have lots to talk about today. Like how much Present Mic likes to dunk on people, some hard boys, a steampunk girl, Deku's speed running strats, Todoroki's hated father, deep Lexi lore, anime betrayal, and impressive strategies. All this and more in the stadium.

In this short episode of Study in Sakuga Holden and Lexi return to My Hero Academia for its second season. We talk about recap episodes, taiyaki, the new Olympics, reintroducing ourselves to class 1-A, new side characters, present mic taking his rightful place, mysteries of parentage and relation and what exactly Midnight is wearing. 

Woah what's this? Another detective has entered the parlor! Join Holden and Lexi in their discussion with the wonderful Olivia Hill about Keep Your Hands off Eizouken, our first finished anime! We talk about the love of the craft shown in the series, the lessons the show teaches its audience, how where you come from and the people around you affect your work, the thrill of collaboration, Japanese snack foods, the slice of life genre and a slew of recommendations from our guest!

It's finally happened folks. Holden has finished an anime. In this groundbreaking episode we talk about Kappas, Security Club militarization, the importance of slacking off, some of Lexi's favorite voicework in this show, the anxiety of not reading an important email, the experience of staying way past when you should to work on something and the incredible energy of having seen a project through to its end. Just like we have here, kinda.  

Our part-time snacktectives are back on the case of treats and sweets as Lexi has given Holden a ramune, be prepared for jingling of glass marbles. In the episodes we talk about the great recurring bit of weird clubs, Holden learns about Comiket and kappas, we get to see Minimori and learn about how awful social media is, we see Mizusaki do some modeling (real) and Kanamori does some too (for the audience) and finally we get to see a new kind of space (sound)
