A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Star Wars was born and it was good. Then, sometime later, the Kenobi spin-off series was finally released, and it was not good. Now I know everyone says you need to watch it, but Tijuana and Squintz are here to remind you not to believe everything you read or hear on the internet. Unless it comes from Per Contra. Then you can trust it. Completely and utterly. With full confidence.

Romance, seduction, shouting the names of your abilities before you even start the motion. If these sound familiar, you are probably an anime fan. So are we. But that doesn't mean we like everything about the medium. Stick around to find out what we do and do not like about one of the most divisive forms of animation. Because here's the thing, nobody likes a weeb. Nobody likes the neckbeard with the Hatsune Miku body pillow. But you can enjoy anime and not be that. So we are going to talk about some of the things that could be changed to allow normies to enjoy anime as much as they rest of us who can admit we love anime.

Typically new is better. But not always. Sometimes new is weird. Sometimes new smells like Goodwill and is overly nice so that you'll like them. Sometimes new tries to take you bowling but you'd rather go miniature golfing. Then when you get to the bowling alley you realize that it was all a ruse so that they could have that conversation about how you don't need to call them dad if you don't want to. Yeah new isn't always better. 

Come with us this week as we take a look at some new gaming trends that we aren't the biggest fans of as well as talk about some old trends that we wish were still around. What are your thoughts? Do you like paying monthly to play online? Do you enjoy paying for content that the developers are just going to sunset in 6 months? Yeah us either. So come with us. It's safe here.

First things first! We have new cover art! Bet you can't guess who is Tijuana and who is Squintz!

We are sure you have often wondered why sequels are never as good as the original. So have we. This week we look at that. We look long and hard like a nerd with a microscope looks at nerdy stuff with that microscope. We'll give you some sequels that are done well and some we feel are done not so well. Oh and also buckle in for a little tough love. Don't worry, it's good for all of us.

Have you ever been talking to someone and their entire personality seems to consist of worshiping Disney? Particularly Disney movies that fall short of what they could be? Do you ever just want to tell those people to get a grip and watch some Disney animation that actually has some heart? Do those people ever try to tell you that you are wrong but not have a good reason as to why? Do those people try to convince you that the whole troll arc in Frozen does actually make sense? Yeah... me neither. But it's always good to be prepared with counter arguments and alternative viewing options. And that's what we will give you in this week's episode of Per Contra!

In this episode we give a few popular Nintendo IPs a run for their money. Are you a fan of franchises like Pokémon, Zelda, and Mario? Well we used to be too. Take some time with us to think about why the new releases in these IPs might not feel the way the old games did. Take some time to think about what has changed over the years and what hasn't. But most of all, take some time with us to realize that we all deserve just a little more from these new spins on childhood classics.

This episode is about a general topic, but we like to get as specific as possible! What makes a movie good to each of us is a personal thing, but there are some universal principles that produce good movies and we want to discuss them. Naturally, when talking about what makes a movie good, we are also going to discuss what makes a movie not good. This is a really easy one for you to join the discussion on! Let us know what some of your favorite movies are and why they are so good.
