New To Weeaboo

Welcome to episode 103! A new anime season is upon us, so we once again have 4 anime to randomly pick and discuss. We got some pretty good ones this time around, despite the generally lackluster season. Historical drama! Horror! Sci-fi! More horror!

Minor Content Warning: Emotional abuse is a core theme of My Happy Marriage, and suicide is briefly discussed during the Zom 100 segment.

Time for episode 102! We talked about the original Black Rock Shooter OVA and series. The ones from over a decade ago. In short, they're kind of a mess. But a stylish mess! And unfortunately, not available on any streaming service right now. You'll have to hunt down some Blu-Rays or something.

Content Warning: This anime has some brief depictions of child abuse and bullying. Those are brought up in the podcast.

Episode 101 is here! We talked about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury! It's the newest iteration of the long-running series, and it's quite good. It also several firsts for the series as well. And there was a lot to talk about. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get to everything we wanted, but we tried. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Welcome to episode 100! We're in the triple digits. And what better way to celebrate that milestone than by talking a big name anime. Like, say, Revolutionary Girl Utena? A surreal anime that is often visually gorgeous. Plus the very strange movie, Adolescence of Utena. You can check out the series on Crunchyroll, and the movie on Funimation or RetroCrush.

Content Warning: This anime has domestic abuse, suicidal ideation, sexual assault, rape, and statuatory rape. These are discussed in the podcast. The anime also has frequent bright, flashing lights. So epilepsy warning as well.

Time for episode 99! We're talking about Flip Flappers! It's a magical girl anime, and one that's quite the visual spectacle. It's also fairly gay, somehow both subtly and overtly. Simultaneously. Check it out on Hidive.

Episode 98 is here! Ready for more steampunk spies? Good, because we watched Princess Principal Crown Handler Chapter 2! It has assassination attempts and Cavorite bombs. Plus the usual spy shenanigans. You can check it out for yourself on Hidive.

Welcome to episode 97! It's Spring, and it brought some new anime (and pollen, but we're not talking about that)! We got some pretty great draws this time around, with one exception. The entertainment industry is rotten! Bad cops fight cryptids! Actresses with supernatural power! And Class S yuri! Kinda. Check them out:

Oshi no Ko

THE MARGINAL SERVICE

World Dai Star

Yuri is my Job!

Time for episode 96! This time we watched the more recent anime about high school girls in a rock band, Bocchi the Rock! In which Hitori Gotoh has severe social anxiety and joins a rock band. This turns out to be more difficult than planned. But it sure is entertaining to watch. Check it out on Crunchyroll.

Episode 95 is here! We dove into K-On! An anime about a light music club and their various hijinks and shenanigans. We actually went longer than we thought on it, maybe because we enjoyed it. Also, there's one thing it's associated with that we briefly discussed. Check it out on Hidive (missing a season 1 bonus episode), and the movie can be rented on YouTube.

Welcome to episode 94! We watched Revue Starlight! It's an absolutely wonderful anime, with fun and interesting characters, tons of style, and amazing music. You should probably check it out. It's on Hidive. And so is the movie.
