Shinigami Love Apples

In this likely-not-newsworthy episode of the podcast:

• Yuuyuu takes back what his kind words about Apple’s Top 100!
• Pinpin re-evaluates his taste in anime from when he was younger!
• Yuuyuu discusses the maliciously lovable Mommies of Gaccha!
• Pinpin skanks to some d*mn good ska!

Once the Shinigami quit skankin’, they discuss Japan’s third biggest export, the millions of vending machines being destroyed the hard way, and the thrilling dangers of the “yami baito”!

In this week’s weirdly short episode of the podcast (Pinpin really had to piss):

• Pinpin celebrates Pride Month by immediately shortening it to a week! Send in the hate mail!
• Yuuyuu plows his way through 100 music albums, because he’s secretly a musical masochist!
• Pinpin explains how Psycho-Pass is properly thrilling and Attack on Titan, well, less so!
• Yuuyuu showers his love on Samurai Shampoo Champloo!
• The Shinigami give their thoughts on Wuthering Waves in hopes of free astrites!
• and PinPin reviews painfully short Higashi no Eden / Eden of the East (2009)!

Once the Serious Shit starts, the Shinigami wade into the hot topic burning all the foreign nationals up this week, and then hit the happier notes of Tiny Desk Concerts coming to Japan and Swedish architecture marrying smoothly into Japanese tradition!

In this probably-not-anticipated return of the podcast:

• The Shinigami make excuses!
• Yuuyuu gets Bocchi’d and finds the experience pretty Bocchi!
• Pinpin raves about ancient Chinese drug pushers!
• Yuuyuu gives a heartfelt salute to Doge. Much sad. Wow!
• and Pinpin reviews Highschool of the Dead (2010)!

After releasing four weeks’ worth of pent-up meme energy, the Shinigami discuss Japan’s growing distrust of commercial aviation, parenting laws attempting to reverse the population decline, and drunk cops being… well, pretty fun, honestly.

In this all-you-can-keep-up-with episode:

• Pinpin breaks wind (remarkable)!
• Yuuyuu discusses tiny Tokyo houses without roofs!
• Pinpin raves about the fecally funny Spy x Family movie!
• Yuuyuu reviews Little Witch Academia (2013)! and
• The Shinigami get harassed by religious extremists at a mall!

If that smorgasbord of topics didn’t satisfy you, then stick around for discussion on the very silly recovery of the 10M yen gold bowl from last week, the remarkably real Japanese money tree, and a sadly necessary discussion about global politics. Booooo. Boo politics.

In this week’s return to normalcy (whatever that means):

• Pinpin loses a job opportunity but gains a few points of wisdom and perception (but mostly rage)!
• Yuuyuu dips and trips with 7G Choo-Choos of doom!
• Pinpin cries over a penguin movie (that isn’t really about penguins)!
• Yuuyuu admits he’s fully into the masochistic gaming experience! and
• Pinpin reviews Trigun Stampede (2023)!

After all is said and done, the Shinigami bowl their way into a comically petty crime against art, and discuss the incredibly boring logistics of cramming two Disney parks’ worth of people into the Ring to Rule Them All at Osaka Expo 2025.

In what we thought was supposed to be a really short filler episode:

• Pinpin discovers a newfound love for herbs, medicines, and tasting poisons!
• Yuuyuu learns to read (more)!
• Pinpin tries to discourage Belgians from being dicks at concerts! and,
• Yuuyuu rants/raves/froths at the mouth over Yamada’s First Time (2010)

After Yuuyuu is finally convinced he can’t find anything else to hate about Yamada’s Last Time, he and Pinpin settle in to discuss talented Japanese kids becoming celebrities, and how Japanese parenting culture is getting better every year!

In our longest episode yet (by a whole minute, what value!):

• もう一度、ピンピンは日本語を勉強することが始めます!
• Yuuyuu obsesses over music artist with “missing texture”-colored hair!
• Pinpin succumbs to allergies and passes away!
• Yuuyuu reviews an online Owlett Mall (yes, we spelled that correctly, don’t @ us), and
• Pinpin reviews Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu (2003)!

After discussing all the wonderful joys of fast-shipping legit merch shops and hard-hitting JPOP/ROCK/RAP music, the Shinigami decide to ruin the joyful mood with rants about all the “game killers” that never killed the games they were “intended to”, and how modern gaming continues to spiral into an Abyss just slightly less desirable than Genshin Impact’s.
