Running in the 90s

It's a rowdy one this week! We're covering the high flying (metaphorically) Birdy The Mighty OVA, joined by our good friend Sara (Fearbaiting, The Wonder Yeerks, HKIPGTD). Join us for the best looking villains this side of 1996, the worst named group of actors this side of Ever, and HHHHH. And please, don't talk about Mario's yang.

Two titans meet in the field of battle for a knife-edge death-match, to the death!

This week we're joined by the wonderful hosts of The Yu Yu Hakusho (You know, the other podcast covering this 25+ year old anime!) to watch the second Yu Yu Hakusho Movie, "Yu Yu Hakusho: Poltergeist Report". 

Orb generation, Reiki being stored in the balls, conspiracy theories, and more controversial topics will be discussed and examined as we realize the true meaning of non-canon movies was inside us all along.

On this week's episode, Nick, Matt, and Su rev up into their respective blue orbs and dash into the climax of the Hiei vs Bui fight (he's very fast!). Matt finally succumbs to the truth that Kuwabara is a compelling character, and Su and Matt try their hands at a cheerful speech from an awful human being. Plus, a special interview with friend of the show Brooks (@brooksasanoun), who drops down from a nearby ladder to talk about Bui's wrestling! Tune in for all this and more.

On this week's episode, our hosts Nick, Matt, and Su begin the last round of the Dark Tournament. In a shocking twist of events, the combatants dodge each other’s attacks, and then they use surprising powers! Okay, so you know how the fights go by now, but the Kurama vs Karasu fight is actually really good once you step over the plot holes of the rest of the episode. Be sure to tune in this week to see what our hosts think of Kurama’s fight against a Quest Class demon and the start of Hiei’s fight against a guy with heavy armor!

On this week's episode, our hosts Nick, Matt, and Su mourn the loss of a mainstay of this show: thematic emptiness. Oh, also Genkai kicks the bucket. Will we roll away from our tried-and-true trivializing of our tournamental travails, like the oft-mentioned orb? When it's the 13th episode of a podcast, you know that all bets are off! Tune in to this week's episode to find out.

    P.S. This week's episode is a bit louder due to a bit of a difference in editing, so if you typically turn up your audio to listen to us, take a moment to readjust for best results.

On this week's episode, our hosts Su, Matt, and Nick celebrate the appearance of the most important character of the series! What does this new revelation mean for our protagonist Kurama? Also, will Kuwabara ever get to have a serious fight? Can Yusuke handle Genkai's orb? Check out this week's episode and find out!

On this week’s episode, Nick, Matt, and Su question the practicality of clay armor, meet the best character this anime has to offer, explore the concept of the "swingin' twenties", and take a dip into some Japanese folklore. Join us as we launch ourselves directly into the sun Team Uraotogi arc, where nothing is what it seems!

Matt's new Kurama figurine:

Su is unfortunately still stick, so Matt and Nick have got another bonus episode for you. This week features episode 1 of Magic Knight Reyearth, and this one’s a banger! Nick makes ridiculous puns, as usual. Matt learns about the characters' names, and then proceeds to never remember a single one. Some girls become magic knights, and Reyearth is never mentioned. It’s great!

"Hello! Unfortunately I have been smote by the flu, but while I'm recovering, I've given our remaining hosts the task of checking out episode 1 of Key the Metal Idol, a somewhat lesser known 90s anime that really took me by surprise when I first found it. It's dark and uncomfortable, and nothing is what it seems, but it tells a really powerful story in an efficient package (just 15 episodes!) that really displays what 90s anime had to offer when given the chance. We'll be back with more of the Dark Tournament next week! Until then, have fun with Matt and Nick!"
