Cocoa☆Disaster

Today on Choco☆Disaster, let's get our lawn chairs out, get the suntan ready, and discuss the latest finished season of anime! It was a long-fought battle, but Jordan and Chorps survived to tell you what they loved, what they couldn't get into, and everything in between. Plus, we break some BIG news, and talk about snacking on the job, some big Anime Expo acquisitions, banned light novel genres and more!

Today on Choco☆Disaster, ChorpSaway has to call Jordan back in while FutureFriend is busy relocating his house! We finally got a mid-season review show recorded after promising to do that for several seasons! The two of us look at the shows we've watched so far and talk about current views, possible future directions, and the things that click, or fail to click, with us about this season. Will Chorps ever get good taste? What have we dubbed "The Lazytown of Anime"? What investments are we making within Big Anime? All this and more!

Today on Choco☆Disaster, FutureFriend and ChorpSaway reconvene in order to discuss the winter 2016 season. Did the shows live up to our own preconceived hype, or did the fail to make an impression on us? Which shows had satisfactory endings and which had the best individual moments? Will ChorpSaway be able to handle the fact that he watched twice as much anime and has three times as much to say about FutureFriend? All this and more for the spring preview episode!

(By the way, ChorpSaway forgot to talk about the end of Haikyuu!! Second Season because he’s a dummy and JordanKai wasn’t here to remind him! It was very good and the series as a whole still stands as one of the best sports anime.)

Today, we're forced to make a substitution, so it's out with Jordan for the season and in with FutureFriend, the people's champion! We're looking at the spring season, which includes some highly anticipated adaptations! However, there are plenty of other shows worth noting, and we're covering them all: what we're watching, what we're keeping an eye out for, and what you should avoid. Plus, who's been impersonating Lupin III? What makes a good action scene? Which shows got cancelled mid-podcast? All this and more for the spring preview episode!

With the new year comes new anime, but today ChorpSaway and JordanKai are looking back at the anime that wrapped up 2015! Lots of shows aired, but were any of them stand-out? What did the dastardly duo stick with this last season? What couldn't keep our attention? Do we accidentally drop hints at some of our Anime of the Year nominees? It's nothing but pulling one-punches here on Choco☆Disaster!
