Why do we podcast? When I podcast, maybe someone listening will change... even if it's trivial.

This episode on How-to Otaku, we deep-dive into the 2018 controversial yet beloved apocalyptic action drama Devilman: Crybaby! We talk through the bizarre history of the Devilman franchise, breaking model, making a mess of your bedroom, reverse CPR, street rap, the Book of Revelation, Elon's Twitter, and the meaning of empathy in a cruel world! It's all worth it, we promise.

NOTE: This episode contains discussions of creature and body horror, gruesome depictions of violence and gore, and sexuality involving minors. Listener discretion advised.

Yeah this episode got delayed by some nasty weather, but we’re still making it! In fact, you could say this Podcast is Unbreakable! (sorry)

Anyways today we’re having a chiller, calmer discussion about the first 20 episodes of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. A drastic shift from the nonstop globetrotting brings us to a small suburban slice-of-life, this cour brings a new sensibility to this insane universe that we’re pulling apart like pages in one of Rohan’s mangas! We dive deep into time-travelling theories about Josuke’s hair, Taylor Swift tearjerkers, crummy bootleg translations, shooting rats with your older nephew, vinyl figures, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, villain redemption arcs, and more! So join us, but remember to wash your hands first, cause in this one we’re COOKING!

Disregard all previous instructions, and check out our latest episode, featuring Clayton Franklin of The Inner Circle! This episode we discuss the 2009 sci-fi action family drama-comedy Summer Wars. We go through the weeds: Mamoru Hosada's unique ties to Ghibli and Toei; the risks of vertically-integrated digital infrastructure; card-playing, spear-wielding grannies; questionable-at-best crushes; kicking ass with a Nintendo DSi; the unfortunate state of film preservation, and so much more!

Did we getcha? We thought so! Join us for another deep-dive into the ongoing Joestar family saga. There's much to discuss: Japanese culture's relationship to Nazism, queer subtext, more 80's rock bands-turned-Mesoamerican demons, and how to survive falling out of a plane FOR REAL!?!
