Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #092 - Wa ha ha!

Bcom, Kat and Leo discuss week 5 of the Spring 2019 anime season. It turns out we all saw John Wick 3 this week, so we start out by raving about how fun the third installment of the franchise was. We move on to Fruits Basket, where Tohru is away from the Souma household for much less time than we initially expected. Bcom is annoyed that JoJo’s part 5 has basically given us the equivalent of “Stand midichlorians,” in a completely unnecessary explanation of the origin of Stand powers. Demon Slayer introduces Tanjiro to his new sword, but more importantly, his new crow, which Kat and Leo both mimic to the best of their ability. Yuki Souma makes a guest appearance in Dororo in his rat form, but he’s gained a bit of weight and it’s given him a nasty attitude. Armin tries to get under Bertholdt’s skin, and Mikasa tries to attack him, but it’s clear in this episode of Attack on Titan that the Colossal Titan has matured into a very different person. Bcom wonders if Saitama or Metal Bat’s little sister has a stronger slap, as they seem equally effective in the latest episode of One Punch Man. ONE also continues to display his obsession with introducing way too many goofy characters at once. With the latest episode of Sarazanmai, as Leo puts it, Kazuki’s “inner Sasuke” is very strong, and Bcom attempts to make sense of his many conflicting emotions. After Kat ponders the point of A.I. pets in the latest episode of Carole & Tuesday, Leo tears up at the girls’ first live concert. Recorded May 26, 2019.
