Anime Sickos

The Sickos watched Tower of God, an anime that asks "what if Hunter x Hunter was shorter, but also way more complicated?" Well, the answer is that it would be a truly wild experience that turns your brain into goo (the good way).

Homie and noted sicko Alex Borkowski goes guesto mode! We discuss Monster Hunter, a game that hates you and wants you to have as little fun as possible (while simultaneously being the best game in the world), plus a Cog Talk about how being a professional writer, like everything, sucks ass and is fake.

Cogdom is over! The decaying world is falling apart and one of the four pillars just doesn't exist anymore! It's fucked! Plus, we catch up on the first 100%-posting-based rap beef, and Tom discusses how doing numbies is the worst thing that can happen to you.

The Sickos discuss the Fate series, an inscrutable ecosystem of games, visual novels, animes, and phone games that steal all your money. The lore of the Fate series is longer than the Bible and its purpose is to serve you stories where wizards kill each other with history ghosts in order to drink out of a nice cup. Also the history ghosts are hot babes with lots of different outfits so you'll pay extra on the phone game to collect them all. The twist? It's actually really good!

The Sickos had a ton of ideas for dumb short segments that we could never find room for. So we decided to just do them all. Oops! All Goofs! Follow Anime Sickos on Twitter @AnimeSickos Follow Joe on Twitter @ShariaUncle Follow Tom on Twitter @TomHarrison19

We welcome our first repeat guesto, sicko scientist John Hasier along with his funnier wife Mike Hasier for our first-ever two person Guesto Mode episode! John once again uses facts and logic to prove anime is real, and Mike schools the sickos in the rich and bountiful sicko world of shojo anime.

Our listeners had questions—first anime? Favorite Western comics? Why won't you say "Luffy" right?—and your favorite Sickos have the answers in our Listener Mail Episode!

The Sickos welcome podcast-doer and major Sicko Quinn Welsh-Wilson to the show for a scintillating guesto episode. Quinn is cursed enough to share heretofore unrequited obsessions with each Sicko: like Tom, they love One Piece, and like Joe, they love the Yakuza games. In addition, we discuss how no one on the internet knows what themes are and how being a cog now is just listening to people chew into microphones they think are muted.

In order to better understand why they are compelled to Game, the Sickos explore formative video games from adolescence that permanently cemented their addiction to the worst hobby on the planet. For Joe, it was endlessly grinding loot in Diablo 2. For Tom, it was barely retaining control of a frictionless car in F-Zero GX. Then, the boys do a deep dive on yet more variations of the Maddow-Maddow Fruit.

The Sickos welcome close personal friend Kevin Johnson to the show! We've known Kevin for years as both a homie and co-worker. On the longest Cog Talk yet, Tom and Kevin discuss their time working at a fake company doing no work as an insane man did shit that made no sense. Then, we interrogate Kevin's almost unfathomable commitment to extremely difficult competitive games like Counter-Strike and Rocket League.
