The Spiral mostly just has fun talking shit for a while before getting into an extremely stale card game based anime based card game.

• Lostorage Incited WIXOSS

The Spiral spirals a little off center as they hold a wobbly conversation that veers wildly across space and time.

• Wicked City
• Gundam Hathaway The Sorcery Of Nymph Circe
• Animan

The Spiral investigates the threefold realms of modern japanese animation, beginning with the bleeding edge missive from the software dimension, to the nightmare meta-real of A Dragonball Z fun prison, then the Masonilluminatemplaristic conspiracy shaping Anime from the shadows. Future too dazzling to behold, it stings the eyes.

The bizarre combination of awkward yuri love and Crimean War era wizard battles triggers a fugue state from inside which our brain damaged hosts attempt to examine the funnest and most awesomest long standing trend that we all love about manga and anime.

• I'll Love You Till Your Dying Day

The Spiral goes hard on One Piece...yet again, before breaking through TWO more indie-ish animation projects that are too legendary to stay hidden in that weird cave.

• One Piece Heroines
• Virgin Punk Clockwork Girl
• Cencoroll Connect

The Spiral gets weepy about teenage angst and chinese animation before moving on to a series of bizarre incidents around the anime world before breaking down two of Nate's new pickups.

• False Memory
• Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games
• Goodbye Lara

The Spiral spins up on two big seasonal reviews like good little podcasters, and a sneaky trick to backdoor some more Death Game talk for the real ones.

• Kaiju Girl Caramelize
• Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games To Put Food On The Table Cloudy Beach

The Only Anime Podcast dissects the comments of legends taking aim at their own peers in a very funny and doomery way, before a smoldering Chainsmoker Cat breakdown leads to a music criticism segment, then finishes out with yet another samurai dunking session

• Chainsmoker Cat
• Dara-San of Reiwa
• A Dogs Life

Damn I want a cig...

The Spiral begins the season's reviews with two bangers, one flop, and a very strong digression.

• The Ghost In The Shell
• Jaadugar: A Witch In Mongolia
• Black Torch
• All You Need Is Kill

The Spiral does not dwell on its terminus, but looks beneath its own feet at SUMMER ANIME SEASON 2026, the most exciting summer anime season of 2026!

• Black Torch
• Kaiju Girl Caramelise
• Let's Go Kaikigumi
• Sekiro
• Star Wars The Ninth Jedi
