Everybody knows AKIRA. It's one of those movies where you've either seen it, or an annoying friend of yours has been pestering you to watch it for years. Chances are you have a pretty good idea of what it did for the anime industry, but we have to ask the question: is it actually great? 

Well luckily, we watched it for the first time recently and have some opinions. Join us on the journey of breaking down the art, narrative and characters of one of the most critically acclaimed anime movies of all time.

We're back to the new GUNDAM! After covering the Prologue a few episodes earlier, we're now giving this new series the 3 Episode Rule treatment.

The shiny brand new anime CHAINSAW MAN has been on a PR wave since it was announced. Now it's finally here and it's even more chainsaw-ier than we thought. We delved into the first 3 episodes of this chaotic romp of a show and have MANY questions: Was it as good as all the hype? What the hell us up with the theme song? How did 20 minutes of TV get me to adore a chainsaw faced dog more than I do my own dog? Are we sticking with it, or dropping it after 3 eps? Tune in to find out!

I ATTACK THE MOON!! We take a retrospective look at the first ever season of the proper YuGiOh anime english dub. In the iconic first season, Yugi and his FRIENDS teach us a lesson about FRIENDSHIP with virtual ANIMAL VIOLENCE or something idk. Often criticized for playing the card game wrong, we use our time magic to take a deeper look at Duelist Kingdom and examine if in fact it does hold up to this day, Yugi boy.

Would you watch 110 eps of it!? THIS acclaimed anime OVA series ran from 1988 to 1997, that is 9 years of content...so it must be pretty damn good right? Maybe? Join us in hyperspace for this whacky (and definitely not hungover) 3 Episode Rule.

The INFAMOUS Garzey's Wing OVA series came out in 1996, and has since been regarded as a complete miss by anyone with a brain. But... do we have brains? Come along with us to watch this incredible travesty of an anime production and decide with us! Is it actually bad? Or is everyone just overreacting?

Since Hana No Asuka Gumi 1 performed so horribly, we decided to do THE SEQUEL!! In the follow up to the shitty, unfinished and previously lost predecessor, Hana No 2 puts us in the streets of Tokyo with more girl gangs, a different story and less dropped frames of animation (woohoo!). Did this improve upon the original? Or should we abandon Asuka forever?

For NO REASON we got an anime sequel to the 2009 live action series, Kamen Rider We have no idea why this happened or who LET it happen, but we were more than happy to watch the absolute hell out of it. One of us mayyyy be able to spill the beans on Kamen Rider and everything a normal viewer couldn't necessarily pick up... but like is it worth the watch??

KING SHIT! We tackled the first 3 episodes of the widely popular Ranking of Kings, which premiered in October of 2021. Let's talk about Boji, Kage and Daida and Hiling's dick nose (which unfortunately seems like a dominant family trait). Btw, we spend a lot of the ep calling Hiling the wrong name, so tune in to see how wrong we were.
