Learn a little bit about how our hosts rate the shows we watch, and watch genres we prefer. Yes, we have bad taste. We know.

Episode OP/ED: [Your Lie in April] Hikaru Nara (English) by Sapphire

What do rating systems mean to you? Do you score off pure artistic merit? Enjoyment? Recommend-ability? Does a 10 mean you tell your mom? Our hosts explain how they rate shows, and what numbers mean what to them. On top of that, they also discuss the merits of gore in shows, and what genres they've grown to love!

We pick out a few shows the other hosts haven't seen and give them reviews and explanations of why we should or shouldn't watch them!

Episode OP/ED: [Samurai Champloo] Shiki no Uta (English) by Sapphire

Every host was given the homework to find a show no more than one other host has seen, watch it, and prepare a little presentation on the show. The shows picked span the last 3 decades of anime! Who will come out on top?!
