This week, we dive into the second movie in the Godzilla anime trilogy, and it certainly had a lot to unpack. The story continues right where the first movie left off, so it’s a must-watch in order if you’re following along. We get some much-needed answers about the world and its characters, along with a look at what’s been happening on Earth over the 20,000 years humanity has been absent. It’s an intriguing mix of revelations and action, keeping the momentum alive.

Next Week's Pick: "Godzilla: The Planet Eater"

This week, we take our first steps into Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters a blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling. While it honors the franchise’s legacy, this movie introduces a bold new narrative. The premise is that humanity flees Earth after Godzilla destroys everything and then spending 20 years wandering in space only to be forced to return due to dwindling resources, they find Earth changed in ways they could never have imagined. This is where the action truly begins.

In this episode, we dive into the anime Immoral Guild, which is an ecchi-heavy series that certainly is not afraid to push boundaries even in episode 1. The show skates close to the line between fan service and something far more... well you know, with scenes that might feel more "adults-only" than usual. Even with that, underneath all of that, it’s a pretty straightforward story without much in the way of plot progression. For fans of mature anime, Immoral Guild might be entertaining, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

One thing the show does get right is its clarity: it answers all the questions it raises, wrapping things up with a satisfying ending and mixing in humor that actually feels pretty natural. But, overall, this is one we’d only recommend to viewers who know what they’re getting into.

Next Week’s Pick: Godzilla: Planet of Monsters

This week, we dove headfirst into a hilarious and refreshing take on the isekai genre with Trapped in a Dating Sim. Our main character, reincarnated into a dating sim he was forced to play, tries his hardest to live a peaceful, low-profile life… only to have fate propel him upward in social status at every turn. It’s a unique spin that’s full of laughs and unexpected twists. Haven't watched it yet? If you're looking for a fresh isekai with a dash of satire, this is one you don’t want to miss!

We dive into a true classic, based on a film from the 1950s. It was genuinely entertaining, with solid storytelling and decent music. The character development was seamlessly woven into the plot, enhancing the experience by integrating backstories naturally without pulling you out of the story. This made the journey all the more enjoyable!

This week we get transported to another world only before we actually get there we get lost in the weeds with random details but after a few minutes we get back on track and then finally get to our destination. And it was an interesting one at that. It takes the normal genre and give the protagonist a set of skills that they had in their previous life but even with that, it ultimately still follows the same tropes for the anime and they also leave out a lot of detail, but even with that it was an entertaining watch.

This week, we explore another Ghibli movie! It is filled with the magical elements we've come to love from Ghibli. However, it does carry a heavier tone in some spots. So if Spirited Away wasn’t your cup of tea, this one might not be either, as it shares a similar vibe, but if you like it then you may just like this one was well and it is also perfect for introducing anime newcomers to this fascinating genre.

This week's episode comes from a recommendation by Goose. "Love Tyrant" (Renai Bōkun) was an interesting choice, to say the least. This anime pokes fun at other anime tropes, and while it follows the standard harem style, it’s packed with comedy, making it an easy and enjoyable watch. If you’re looking for something light and funny without a deep storyline, this is a perfect pick for a quick break from your usual anime lineup.

In this episode, we dive into the chaotic world of "Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero." With its wild plot and unconventional power scaling, this anime takes the isekai genre in a fresh direction. Did it hit the mark or miss it completely?
