Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #111 - There Were Elevens

Kat, Leo, and Bcom discuss the 11th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! Bcom compares the 1986 anime They Were Eleven with its modern counterpart, Astra Lost in Space. The Dumbbell girls celebrate New Years by walking up and ungodly number of steps. The Maidens decide it’s time to protest the oppressive regime at their school, so they can let their freak flags fly! Tanjirou gets the help of some little butterfly girls who help him stretch, train, and breathe in an effort to level up to be an even more effective Demon Slayer. Charce truly becomes Kanata’s right-hand man, in the penultimate episode of Astra Lost in Space, in a manner that causes Leo and Bcom to lose their minds. It turns out Watermelon girl’s watermelon helmet was way more essential than Kat ever expected, and to Bcom’s delight Dr. STONE re-designs it to be an everlasting part of her character design. We wrap up the final episode of Given and discuss how we felt about the way it concluded (or didn’t conclude) its various storylines. Apparently, Smokey the Bear never told the Vikings that “only you can prevent forest fires,” because they find themselves in the middle of a raging inferno. Carole & Tuesday set up for their final episode, with plans for one big concert to try to send a message to the people of Mars who are going down a dangerous path. Recorded October 11, 2019.
