Anime Against the World episodes
- Drifters: Is this the best fantasy Isekai so far?This week's episode takes another jump out of reality to explore the isekai Drifters: Battle in a Brand-new World War! Who'd have thought there was more isekai to watch? If you like the sound of Lord of the Rings crossed with Monsters Inc and sprinkled with random historical figures, you're probably a very confused individual but don't panic! We just might have the show for you... But does it have what it takes to get in the Aniverse?

1 hr 15 min - Charlotte: It's not frickin teleportation!This week the boys discuss the discount x-men anime series, otherwise known as Charlotte! Can you guess the name of the protagonist? That's right, it's Yuu! This show is filled with some brilliant comedy, some ridiculous and frustrating story arcs, lots of beautiful animation and an imaginative concept, but does this superhero school have what it takes to earn an A+ and gain access to the Aniverse?

56 min - Record of Ragnarok: Ragna-Rock-and-Roll, am I right?Player 1, Ready! Player 2, Ready! Fight! (but very, very slowly... and throw a tonne of exposition in the middle to drag it out a bit.) This week, our boys get real excited and somewhat disappointed at the Netflix original, Record of Ragnarok. This mythology themed tournament styled anime has an interesting premise as historical figures from across the world are pitted against gods in a fight to defend humanity from extinction. It's space jam but without Michael Jordan...

1 hr 9 min - Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Teaching Dragon Pilot how to dragon...You know that one dream everyone has, about the deadly dragon that transforms into a sexy house maid and tries to seduce you while you drink beers on the sofa? No? Ah... Must just be Sam then... This week we pick apart Miss Kobayashi's dragon maid, the somewhat humorous, sometimes outrageous slice of life fantasy anime that brings a new meaning the the phrase "get some tail" . With some brilliant animation, some strong jokes and some inappropriate molestation, can this show fly its way into the aniverse?

1 hr 3 min - Demon Slayer: Since when is smelling a super power?Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a Demon of a show! The 40th episode of this podcast demanded a big hitter and we feel like we've lived up to that with the one and only Demon Slayer! We cover everything from the eating habits of demons to the punishments of anime art departments. We discuss as much as possible but wholly admit that we've probably missed a lot of talking points due to our incessant meandering! By the end, we make a decision as to whether another demon show has what it takes to get into the Aniverse.

1 hr 19 min - Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale... Oh good, Kayaba's back...This week we revisit one of the all time greats in Sword art Online - this time, to discuss the Movie: Ordinal Scale! This time we unpick this AI Kirito party and relive the greatest hits such as: 'Asuna gets sidelined', and 'Fucking Kayaba!?'. With more gaps in the plot than in Asuna's memory, we bounce around, covering everything from incorrectly named Spiderman movies to Pokemon go, and poke fun at the wonders of the SAO universe that never cease to amaze.

1 hr 11 min - The Devil is a Part-Timer, a noncommittal, self-absorbed m*****r f******This week is an absolute whopper! And would you like fries with that?... This episode looks at the first three episodes of the brilliantly comical 'The Devil is a Part-Timer', during which our hosts honestly, tangent like never before: They slip into horrific attempts at Irish accents; they create a whole new spin off series based on a dismembered umbrella, and worst of all... they disrespect McRonalds... Listen to see if, in their pathetic opinion, they still deem this show worthy of the Aniverse...

1 hr 16 min - Prince of Stride: Isn't this just a discount Haikyu!!?Have you ever been interested in running really fast? Have you ever been interested in cartoons running really fast? then this show might be for you? If you also like made up sports based on dating games. This week we explore the wonderfully niche, Prince of Stride: Alternative. We manage to bounce from The Fast and the Furious to Ice hockey and spend a (probably not so surprisingly) long time discussing Haikyu!! This is a sports anime, and as such it should tick all of Will's boxes, but does it have enough to be considered a gateway show and earn its place in the Aniverse!?

1 hr 11 min - Devilman Crybaby: a demon coming out party!This week we jump down the rabbit hole into the world of demons as we explore Devilman Crybaby, a psychedelic rollercoaster of transforming monsters pent on causing as much havoc on humanity as possible. Our hosts try to cover everything this show has to offer, from its unique animation styles to its fast paced story telling, and try to make sense of it all. Will gets confused with languages and Sam has to explain the socio-economic structure of Japan as they decide whether this show is suitable for a noob and can gain entry into the exclusive Aniverse!

1 hr 15 min - Attack On Titan, season 1 - Re:visited!This week we revisit one our original three episodes in Attack on Titan! Having now watched the entire first season, the boys get together to pick apart their favourite moments, reminiscing about their favourite fight scenes and how Levi has missed his calling as a professional ice dancer. They discuss everything from Michael Jackson to Sean Bean and everything in between! This titan of a show clearly hits a chord with the fandom and it's brilliant to see a noob experience it for the first time. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

About Anime Against the World
From the publisher's feed
Know anything about anime? Because Will certainly didn't, until his anime-loving, best bud moved his butt all the way from the UK to Japan! As a way to keep in touch, our hosts decided to set up a…
podcast! What's the theme you ask? Well, originally it was all about teaching the novice Will all about anime, and there is a substantial back log of episodes focussed on just this for you to enjoy! This was also under the name Gateway to the Aniverse, so you may come across that title from time to time... Nowadays however, the boys have diversified somewhat, since obviously Will has been promoted to Hobby Weeb, and everyone is welcome! Anime, of course, is still a core part of the show, but it is now much more open ended and honestly, who knows what they will talk about week to week. Hopefully it's entertaining if nothing else, and we hope you can get on board with this weird pen pal podcast and join the Anime community in their battle Against the World!
