Episode 159 is here! And a new season has begun, which means new anime! So once again, we grabbed 4 at random and watched the first 3 episodes of each. And 3 of the picks are kind of... meh. The 4th is interesting but might be upsetting to some. Isekai! Romance! Beastfolk! Yokai! Check them out if you want.

Welcome to episode 158! We suddenly remembered it's October, so time for some "horror." But it's kinda... bad. And it's called Calamity of a Zombie Girl. So if you like watching bad media, you might want to check it out. Possibly on Crunchyroll.

Content Warning: This anime contains blood and gore. This is mentioned in the podcast.

Time for episode 157! And it's a doozy. We watched Chargeman Ken. An anime often considered one of the worst of all time. And it's really hard to argue against that. Almost everything that could go wrong does go wrong. You can check it out (if you really want to) on Crunchyroll.

Episode 156 is here! And once more into horse world, with Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray! The recent spinoff starring Oguri Cap. Yes, the background joke character. And it arguably surpasses all the other Uma Musume anime. Check it out on YouTube!

Welcome to episode 155! And yep, it's more Umamusume. This time the two OVAs (BNW no Chikai and Road to the Top) and the movie, Beginning of a New Era. The first OVA is essentially an epilogue to the first season of Pretty Derby, being about Biwa Hayahide, Narita Taishin, and Winning Ticket. The second is a prequel to the movie, chronicling Narita Top Road, Admire Vega, and TM Opera O. The movie itself is quite amazing, all about Jungle Pocket, Agnes Tachyon, and Manhattan Cafe. Oh and Dantsu Flame also appears. BNW no Chikai is exclusive to the season 1 Blu-Ray, Road to the Top is available for free on YouTube, and the movie is only available via importing the Blu-Ray from Japan.

Time for episode 154! We returned to Umamusume: Pretty Derby, to finish what we started by watching season 3. Good timing, considering the franchise recently exploded in popularity. This season focuses on Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond. It's also bit weaker than the previous seasons. Check it out on Crunchyroll!

Episode 153 is here! Once again, we're back in the world of My Hero Academia! But this time, it's the spinoff, Vigilantes! It does a lot of great things to differentiate itself from the main series. But it also makes a few missteps. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 152! A new season of anime is once again upon us, and we took a quick look at 4 of them. Cosmic horror with gay undertones! Fantasy with time travel! Horror with gay undertones! Again! And a yuri harem! Wild how that worked out. You can check them out yourself:

Time for episode 151! In it, we talk about the spring 2025 anime, Rock is a Lady's Modesty! We previously talked a bit about its first 3 episodes, but now we've finished it. And we're glad we did, because it was a genuinely fun time watching it. Weird BDSM imagery and all. Check it out on Hidive!

Episode 150 is here! And we return to Princess Principal, with Crown Handler Chapter 3! The 3rd movie in the series, and honestly, it's a bit bland. Which is disappointing, considering how much we like this anime. Check it out on Blu-Ray!
