About Anime Pass Or Fail
From the publisher's feed
Are there too many new anime coming out every season and don‘t know what to watch? We can help with that; we‘ll be watching 4-5 new anime every season, discussing and deciding if they‘ll pass or fail. Three of these are chosen by us your hosts, and the other 1 or 2 anime are chosen by you the listeners.
FAQ:
Q: What do we talk about?
We talk about 4-5 animes every season & each anime is allocated a 5-10 minute segment on what we‘ve seen each week. At the end of these segments, we‘ll each share our verdict on whether the anime passes or fails, so there will be 3 verdicts in total.
Q: What happens if an anime receives fail?
If a show gets two or more fails, then that show will be given only one more chance/week/episode to redeem itself (kind of like a remedial class!). When an anime fails it doesn‘t mean that it‘s bad but it does mean the host(s) would rather not continue watching it.
Q: What if it fails again?
If it gets two or more fails again, then that show is expelled right out of our watch-list (school) and depending on the circumstance we’ll either replace it with an ongoing mainstream anime to fill its segment or one of us presumably the one who gave it a pass continue to fill us in on what’s happening
Q: What if it passes?
If a show receives two or more passes it moves on to the next week and if we end up watching it to the end then a graduation ceremony awaits that anime. And that’ll be it
