January 18, 2021 119: Zen and the Art of Broom Maintenance (Wandering Witch)

The brothers set off on a magical adventure of witchery, full of comedy, horror, and big hats with Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina. A series of novels by first-time author Jougi Shiraishi, this series follows the young witch Elaina as she travels around the world documenting her various adventures. Somewhere between Star Trek, On the Road, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, this series has something for everyone, whether you like it or not. Truly a genre defying show that Aniki wasn't prepared for, but delighted in watching.

November 30, 2020 117: Witch Pitch (Burn the Witch)

The brothers enter Reverse Soul Society to examine Bleach creator Tite Kubo's one-shot OVA all about dragons and witches: Burn the Witch. Centered in "Reverse London" where the dragons that cause all kinds of maladies can be seen by normal people, this three episode OVA/movie follows witches Noel and Ninny as they keep the dragon problem under control. With only a single manga season and an animation based on it available, does Burn the Witch set itself up well enough to warrant a full series? Is it possibly the new Bleach? Also featuring: Aniki's Holiday Game Guide for Families.
