Anime Death Spiral

The Spiral accidentally delayed the podcast and you are all furious for depriving you, many and much apology. It returns with meditations on the meaning of Family, crime and punishment in the cute anime girl world, and class crisis in the world of dope ass sword jumping shonen battles.

• Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express
• Mujina Into The Deep

The Spiral spend longer than necessary flitting from one inane topic to the next before tiptoeing around a discussion of Oshimi Shizu's work before diving into one new manga and one new summer preview anime. So much psychology.

• The Crossdressing Boy Wants To Take Off His Skirt
• Smoking Behind The Convenience Store With You
• Kamudo
• Punk Gun

Fair Use! Fair Use!

Americans have fallen deeply and abusively in love with the yandere all over again, truly a sign of the culture healing. The Spiral examines the phenomenon from different angles. They're not bad, they're just drawn that way.

• The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Seen
• My Girlfriend Gives Me Goosebumps

The Spiral inaugurates its new episode naming scheme by shamelessly engagement baiting using our favorite punching bag, Star-Wars, before desperately squeezing in a few obligatory manga discussions.

• Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
• Class of Brains

The Spiral reaches new depths as we cross the auspicious threshold of 3 years of abyssal podcasting. Anime is changing and so must we. Lets all hold hands and jump down into an uncertain future of Content together.

Oh also this should've been last weeks episode so we sound very dumb, sorry about that.

• (Abu)normal
• My Girlfriend Isn't Here Today
• Artemis Under The Roof

• Frieren: Beyond Journeys End
• Gnosia
• The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl With the Short Skirt

The Spiral touches on Drifters, Classical Theatre, the Mech Spectrum, and perhaps the final Spring Anime 2026 Season Premier reviews.

The Spiral unravels in its attempt to grapple with the implications of the Chainsaw Man ending while maintaining their tenuous grasp on sanity before breaking down another set of season premiers

• Chainsaw Man
• Liar Game
• Mao
• Nippon Sangoku

The Death Spiral flex their tremendous brains by citing more than 4 different books in a single episode before breaking down two of the most promising and one of the most confusing anime premieres of the season so far.

• Witch Hat Atelier
• Daemons of the Shadow Realm

The Only Anime Podcast wraps up the season previews and even slips in a couple of dismal premieres.
