New To Weeaboo

Welcome to episode 143! We're continuing our viewing of My Hero Academia with season 4! Plus the second movie, Heroes Rising. And we have a couple of divided opinions about this one. Notably for the second half. Check out the season (and movie) for yourself!

Time for episode 142! We watched season 3 of My Hero Academia! This is the season where a few narrative cracks start to form, although it's still quite enjoyable overall. We also watched the first MHA movie. And yes, just as a heads up: the next few months of episodes will all be MHA. You can check the anime out on Crunchyroll and other streaming services (including some of the movies).

Episode 141 is here! And it's winter, which means winter anime! Four of them, for this episode. And two of them are kind of so-so, the other two caught our interest. One being a surprise. So check them out:

Welcome to episode 140! We jumped back into the world of My Hero Academia! This time season 2, which includes a tournament arc (a shounen staple), an encounter with The Hero Killer, and more! There's also a few not-so-great elements as well. You can check out the anime on Crunchyroll.

Time for episode 139! Love Live! Superstar!! got its third (and probably final) season! So we watched it. All the character arcs had to come to a conclusion this season, and they largely nailed it. Which is a great comeback from the more lackluster second season. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Episode 138 is here! And it's the last episode of 2024. So to round off the year, we decided to start a shounen anime. Namely, My Hero Academia! And for now, only season 1. And watching it, it became pretty clear why people liked it in the first place. You can check it out just about anywhere that streams anime. Like Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 137! We watched the legendary School Days. But you should know it's not legendary for its quality. If anything, "trainwreck" is a good word for it. If you really want to, you can watch it on Crunchyroll.

Content Warning: The anime contains blood, gore, infidelity, and possible rape. The visual novel series it's based on also contains incest. These are discussed in the podcast.

Time for episode 136! We talked about Girls Band Cry, the original cg animated anime that came out earlier this year! The one that's about a band forming and all the drama and baggage that comes with it. And to be honest, it largely exceeds expectations. Check out out on Crunchyroll!

Episode 135 is here! And it's a new anime season, which means we watched four anime at random. And wow, we got all good ones. Varying degrees of good, but still good. Check them out:

I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History

The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Become Magicians

Welcome to episode 134! We wrap up October with another horror anime. It's called, well, Another! While it had a strong start, it started to disappoint in various ways. You can see for yourself on Crunchyroll.

Content Warning: This anime has depictions of blood and gore, murder and suicide. These are mentioned in the podcast.
