- Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) - EYEBALL LAZERS MAKE NO SENSE!!This week we are looking at the sequel to the original Vampire Hunter D movie from 1985 which we reviewed over a year ago now, so make sure you check that out if you haven't already! In this adaptation of the light novel, D has to chase a vampire across the country, save an attractive woman, fight various monsters along the way and end up in a spooky vampire castle that ends up being destroyed... so pretty much the same as in the original!

1 hr 15 min - CYBERPUNK: Edgerunners - David's arc is LAZY?This week we finish our look at the Netflix original, 'Cyberpunk Edgerunners'. Make sure to check out our last episode where we explore the first five episodes and delve into character a little deeper. Today we explore the narrative developments and conclusions of the series so full spoilers obviously! Will has some unique perspectives that as an outsider to the franchise are understandable, but do you agree?

1 hr 15 min - CYBERPUNK: Edgerunners - Ep.1-5... What is a CYBER PUNK?'This Tabletop RPG turn gam role-play video game turn Netflix original... Christ, no wonder Will doesn't know what's going on! Whether you're new to Cyberpunk or a veteran, this episode unpicks the first 5 episodes of the new Netflix series from both angles. Sam is our expertise as always, and Will is the never knowing buffoon. Enjoy and stay tuned for the final 5 episodes next week!

1 hr 14 min - The Promised Neverland - EXTREME hide and seek!If you haven't seen this show and don't like spoilers, we one hundred percent suggest watching at least the first 3 episodes before listening - better yet, don't even read on! GO! NOW!
If you have seen this show, or at least know it's premise...This week we visit the very popular shonen anime that is 'The Promised Neverland' and discuss everything from aliens to demons and from hide and seek to eating children's brains. The creepy characters and directorial choices kept us on the edge of our seats for this one and we thoroughly enjoyed picking it apart!Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
1 hr 20 min - Spy x Family - If BOND and BOURNE started a family...It's spies! We talk BOND! We talk BOURNE! We talk HUNT! We talk MR AND MRS SMITH! This show got us so hype, and you can probably tell that given it takes us 13 minutes to get onto the actual show. From cute, mind reading children to bad ass assassins and world class spies, this show has a lot to unpack. It's beautiful, it's ridiculous, and it is nothing if not entertaining - but does it have what it takes to get into the Aniverse?

1 hr 21 min - One Piece (Ch. 1-25) - Will reads his First MANGA!Firstly, sorry for the audio quality! Sam accidentally used the built-in microphone again. We've tweaked it as much as we are capable of so hopefully it's not too jarring!
Secondly, this is another change for the books! We're reviewing the first 25 chapters of the One Piece manga! As Will has just picked this up, we thought we would check in periodically to catch his thoughts and build in some interesting discussion around this huge piece of Weeb culture! Enjoy!Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
55 min - Beyblade (2001) - the original playground death battleIt's Beyblade!!! If you're a 90's kid (is that the most buzzfeed thing ever?), then I don't need to explain. This show has a special place in 2000's primary schools across the UK and rewatching the first three episodes of the original series brings back memories galore for our two wannabe Weebs, Will and Sam. Let it Rip!

1 hr 19 min - What's Japan REALLY like? Pt 2 - The weirder side...Welcome to the second instalment of Sam and Will talking about what Japan is really like! In this episode we touch on hikikomori, Maid Cafes, Cosplay and the history of Japan and Tokyo. Hopefully you find something interesting in this discussion, and we'll be back with regular anime podcasting next week! Let us know if you enjoy this so we can plan it in in the future!

34 min - What's Japan REALLY like? - A Conformity Crisis?This week we're doing something a little different again because Sam is visiting the UK so we've actually got a couple of episodes that were recorded in person! Sorry about the audio, but hopefully you like the content! Over the next few episodes we will be looking at what life in Japan is really like from someone who's moved there and discover what stereotypes are accurate and which are misconceptions.

33 min - YuYu Hakusho - When do we get to the BATTLE SHONEN!?This week we look at the nostalgia giving ghost punching hot blooded battle shonen that is Yu Yu Hakusho! Our boys, as usual, watch only the first three episodes and decide whether this is the kind of show you could give a noob to get them hooked on anime. From ghosts and spirits to gang street fights and romance, this show has a lot to offer a noob, and presents it in an easily digestible format... but does the sketchy etchy and drawn out narrative ruin this show?

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!
