Genreless

Chris and Eddy talk about the Cowboy Bebop anime, which is objectively the best anime ever and there is no denying that fact. Ever.

Episodes covered:

• Session 1: "Asteroid Blues"

You can stream the show on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/search?q=cowboy%20bebop&jbv=80001305 

Chris and Eddy unpack their thoughts about season two of Genreless, the podcast as a whole, and how some fans are just too negative for their own good. And while they don’t announce season three, they do talk about a fun side discussion they’re going to do for the next two weeks.

In this double-sized season finale, Eddy and Chris are joined by guest Ric Connelly as they go through the deconstructive efforts of Neon Genesis Evangelion and find a lot of love (even if Netflix really screwed up the translation).

Episodes covered:

• Angel Attack (episode 1)

You can stream the show on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81033445 

Chris and Eddy scrap the normal format of the show to talk about their collective concerns about gen:LOCK, and why there’s value in criticizing problematic media. Also, they finally give Southern Cross some much-needed love.
