We review Attack on Titan: Assassin’s Bullet (E67).⁠ While the battle between the Scouts and Marley comes to an abrupt end, this show is just getting started on revealing the bigger picture. In the same episode, we're given one of the biggest reveals and one of the saddest moments in AoT. UGH.
Every era of anime has just a few shows that are so influential, they’re granted the title of “anime classic.” Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) could very well be that, and to celebrate the final season we’re reviewing every single episode on Strictly Anime!
Each podcast episode will release every Wednesday following the new episode of AoT. This is in addition to our regular schedule for Strictly Anime.

We review Promare. A visual rollercoaster that assaults your eyes from start to finish in the best way possible, this movie knows exactly what it is and what it’s striving to achieve. We discuss how the story does just enough to set up great action sequences, giving Studio Trigger free reign to do what they do best. We also discuss the ways in which this movie pays homage to earlier works like Gurren Lagann.

We discuss: Our Anime Origin Stories: How We Got Into Anime. We take you back to the early days of anime (when people used the term otaku instead of weeb) and share how we discovered anime. We discuss our gateway anime, transitioning from dubs to subs, getting into Jpop, and why anime hits different than western cartoons. Join us for lots of nostalgia!⁠

We review 86 EIGHTY-SIX (Part 1). The hype is going strong for this character-driven story set during wartime. This anime uses split perspective storytelling to⁠ force the viewer into witnessing the same situation from opposite sides, and it does it very well. We discuss the story, the characters, the emotions, and where things are headed in part 2 (no pun intended).⁠

We discuss: Is It Finally Cool to Like Anime? Being an Anime Fan Then vs. Now. We take a look at life as an otaku back in the day (we're talking the Adult Swim, Toonami, and 4Kids TV era of anime) and compare it to the current anime industry and weeb community. Let's just say that new weebs have no idea how easy they have it.⁠

We review Saint Young Men (Saint Oniisan). This comedy, which follows Buddha and Jesus on their vacation to Japan, left us thinking "What did we just watch?" but in the best way possible. Rather than being a focal point, religion only helps to shape how they interact with the world, making this a simple and refreshing story that anyone can enjoy. We discuss the clever ways in which religious aspects are blended with the modern world to give us the hilarious situations in which Jesus and Buddha find themselves.
