- Madoka Magica: if it doesn’t make sense, a wizard did itHave you ever wanted to watch Sailor Moon on crack but never had the balls? Well now you don't have to! Introducing Madoka Magica, the show where crazy shit happens and none of it is ever explained! Do you want magic? You've got it! How does it work? WOW psychedelic fight scene, never mind! This show is a mind bending adventure story that jumps from homophobia to mind reading Pokemon quicker than a clown snake can eat the head off our favourite protagonist. Join us this week to see if this magical girl show has what it takes to join Queen Sailor in the Aniverse!

1 hr 24 min - Kakagurui: If Rain Man was a sexy dominatrix...What gets you off? On the off chance it's high stakes gambling, boy do we have the show for you! This week, the lads discuss whether a bunch of horny teenagers can seduce their way into the aniverse with trickery, cheating and down right sexual misconduct! Why is everyone sweating so much? Why are there no teachers anywhere? The big questions are asked in this week's look into the aniverse with the phenomenally bizarre, Kakagurui!

1 hr 22 min - Bleach: IT'S THE SPINNING LEEK MEME!This week, our hosts take on one of the big boys! Sam becomes nostalgic revisiting this classic anime and be jealous as Will gets to experience it for the first time. Will is ecstatic he has finally found the origins of the infamous leek spin video! As we inevitably compare this Shonen giant to Naruto, we find lots to love: from the glorius comedic moments to the powerful story telling, does this show have enough to find a place in the Aniverse? Can it be shown to a anime noob and is this a gateway show?!

1 hr 36 min - Carole and Tuesday: Timberlands, Instagram and Gibson guitarsDoes the Aniverse extend to other planets? Of course it frickin' does! This week we are introduced to the artistic and edgy, underdog story of Carole and Tuesday as they try to make it as musicians in a modern world... Oh and it's on Mars! With everything from product placement, robot pets that make no sense and goats that just can never find a plug socket when they need one, this show has some amazing qualities to it. Could this be your gateway show into the wonderful world of anime?

1 hr 30 min - Death Note RE:visited Special!This special episode gives our hosts a chance to REVISIT one of their previous shows having had the chance to explore it a little more. This week, we go back to the first show of the series, Death Note, except this time the discussion isn't limited to the first three episodes. Will has now finished the entire main story arc which allows the boys an opportunity to talk around their favourite moments of the series to their hearts content without any spoilers. Spoilers included!

36 min - Danganronpa: cute, cuddly and a little bit psycho murderery!This is one teddy bear's picnic you will want to avoid! In episode 11, Will and Sam consider this unusual interpretation of the video game of the same name - Danganronpa. In a school that is more of a prison and where the lessons you learn will result in life or death, there's only one rule: Don't piss off the bear! This week, our hosts use their detective skills to figure out whether or not this show is destined to be in the aniverse, and they do not pull any punches!

1 hr 21 min - Code Geass: a hypnotising terrorist alien fights robots in British Japan?I only get one of these so here it goes... *Magic eye trick* "You will tell all your friends about this podcast." There we go. This week, we discuss whether this chess game of a show is worthy of a place in the aniverse. With everything from magic mind control abilities that you can only use once all the way to futuristic robots fighting to the death, this Mecha anime has a little bit of everything. Who knew you could tangent onto chess strategies, Power Rangers Megazords and whether voluntary blindness should classify as a disability all in one episode!

1 hr 40 min - Beastars: Rouis breaks a leg...This 'Netflix Original' brings about some bizarre and wonderful tangents in this week's episode of Gateway to the Aniverse. There is no doubt this show has some amazing animation, some interesting concepts and some diverse characters, but the real question is: Where do the eggs come from?! In trying to figure out whether this can be classed as a gateway show, Will and Sam go from more harry potter references to interspecies relations and everything in between!

1 hr 39 min - Naruto: No-ruto, Naru-no and absolutely no wayOkay, okay, this has to be a gateway show, right? Or does it... Despite Naruto being one of the longest running and well known Shonen shows, it certainly doesn't peak in its first three episodes. This week we consider whether Naruto Uzumaki has enough spunk to entice an absolute noob into the world of anime. Among other considerable tangents, we discuss the consumption of three things: 80's rock and roll, underage pornography and sour milk. Agree or disagree, let us know your thoughts!

1 hr 27 min - Yuri on ICE!: beauty, passion, and pork cutlet bowls!Does Yuri have what it takes to skate himself into the aniverse? It seems this week's contender is as different to our recent episodes as Sam could possibly find and boy does it make for a great podcast! Our two hosts explore new realms of pleasure as they uncover the mysteries of Yuri's milk, the clandestine plots of the Madagascan penguins and the fantasy of Victor's very own brand of sketchy etchy. Does this slice of life anime break through the surface and achieve victory in this episode of Gateway to the Aniverse?

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!
