Strictly Anime

We discuss: Is It Finally Cool to Like Anime? Being an Anime Fan Then vs. Now. We take a look at life as an otaku back in the day (we're talking the Adult Swim, Toonami, and 4Kids TV era of anime) and compare it to the current anime industry and weeb community. Let's just say that new weebs have no idea how easy they have it.⁠

We review Saint Young Men (Saint Oniisan). This comedy, which follows Buddha and Jesus on their vacation to Japan, left us thinking "What did we just watch?" but in the best way possible. Rather than being a focal point, religion only helps to shape how they interact with the world, making this a simple and refreshing story that anyone can enjoy. We discuss the clever ways in which religious aspects are blended with the modern world to give us the hilarious situations in which Jesus and Buddha find themselves.

We review My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission (Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 3: World Heroes' Mission). The third movie for this series is more intense and dark than the previous installments, however it wasn't quite what we were expecting based on the promo material. We dive into Humarise, Midoriya's adventure with Rody, the climactic fight scenes with Bakugo and Todoroki, and theorize which anime characters could take down Flect and his Quirk.⁠

We discuss our spoiler-free Fall 2021 Anime First Impressions. The year is almost over, but this season is keeping the hype alive with some really promising shows. Will Fall 2021 present us with some of the top contenders for this year? We discuss Komi-san, Mieruko-chan, Platinum End, and everything else we're watching!⁠
