Aniki

The brothers take their first viewer request and follow melancholic moe-blobs in the snow in Girls’ Last Tour. Set in an indeterminate far dystopian future, Girls’ Last Tour showcases a war-torn landscape, a dead fish, a weird cat, a kettenkrad, and two naive survivors as they try to stay alive and find other traces of living people. A deeply introspective experience, it is the first nightmare slice-of-life the Aniki brothers have seen. Also featuring: Dragonalia Lost and Overlord.

Full of regret, the brothers decide to commiserate with the cast and story of Orange. A group of friends, upon learning that in high school another friend's accident was actually a suicide, send a message to their past selves to try and save the life and heart of a boy all of them regret not getting to know better. A romantic drama with attempts at sci-fi, Orange plays with the Japanese idea of "What If?" in an original way. Also featuring: My Hero Academia and Watership Down.

Having not had enough of cute girls doing cute things, the brothers decide to watch cute girls doing nothing in a country side that makes them both green with envy with Non Non Biyori. Following four girls and one boy in a country-town school house, Non Non Biyori is a show about living in a questionably rural area when you're young, imaginative, and suitably silly. Also featuring: Kamen Rider Build, Kingdom Hearts, and Searching.
