New To Weeaboo

Episode 132 is here! It's October, which means it's time for spooks and scares! And why not go with The Junji Ito Collection to start off? Well... because it's just kind of okay. Being an anthology, there are definitely stand out stories, but also a number of duds. Regardless you can check it out on Crunchyroll!

A bit of a content warning as well, this anime contains blood, gore, body horror, and one of the shorts could trigger trypophobia.

Welcome to episode 131! We watched the classic FLCL! And it's incredibly absurd. But in the best ways. Plus there's that soundtrack. Not really sure what else to say. Check it out however you can!

Time for episode 130! We watched the recent anime Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night! And it has a lot of strong points. But it's also letdown by a few weaker elements, including a lackluster ending. Still, might be worth a look. Check it out on Hidive!

Episode 129 is here! And we watched the legendary movie Akira! A movie which every animator loves to the point of wanting to homage it in all their works. And well, it is visually stunning. Too bad the narrative doesn't measure up. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 128! We're finally getting around to the new (summer 2024) anime season! And once again, the RNG demands blood. Or something, because we got some less than ideal picks. We do have one good one though. Check them all out (or don't, in one case):

2.5 Dimensional Seduction

Tasuketsu -Fate of the Majority-

The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human

VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream

Time for episode 127! We returned to Hibike! Euphonium with the OVA and season 3. In which it's Kumiko's and Reina's third year of high school, and also their last chance to get gold at nationals with the Kitauji High School band. Even with the potential complication of a new euphonium player. Plus, there's still a bit of yuri bait. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Episode 126 is here! And we went back to a franchise we haven't really talked about since 2019... talking about Raildex! Specifically, A Certain Scientific Railgun T, the third season of the good part of the franchise. And good news, this season is lives up to the previous two. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 125! It's still June! Which means it's still Pride month! And we took a look at Wandering Son. In this anime, two teenagers struggle with their gender identities. And as you might guess, it's a bit messy. And unfortunately, not currently available on any streaming service.

Time for episode 124! It's June! Pride month! And we talked about the classic yuri Sakura Trick. Which has a very strong reputation among yuri fans. However... it's actually kinda... just okay? We get into why. Check it out on Hidive.

Episode 123 is here! We watched WataMote. It's a cringe comedy. Which, as the genre suggests, can be difficult to watch. It has its moments, but sometimes Tomoko's behavior is incredibly frustrating. Check it out on Hidive.
