May 17, 2021 35. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (S2 Part 1)
We review the first half of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2) season two. After the insane cliffhanger from the first season, this second season wastes no time dropping us back into the story. We discuss the state of Lelouch’s grand plan, plus our take on the newly introduced characters (ugh, Rolo...) and the old characters we meet again (ugh, Nina...).⁠

Courtney reviews Horimiya. In what can only be described as "pure wholesomeness," she shares her thoughts on a great love story that also explores themes of self-confidence and self-acceptance.

We review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train. This movie “set our hearts ablaze” with its stunning visuals and emotional moments. Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of this cinematic journey. UMAI!

April 19, 2021 32. The Promised Neverland (S2)
We review The Promised Neverland (Yakusoku no Neverland) season two. Oh boy, where do we even begin... the first season started off really strong, but the second season ended in a dumpster fire where they apparently just stopped trying. Join us as we roast the second season!

April 05, 2021 31. Jujutsu Kaisen (Part 2)
We review the second half of Jujutsu Kaisen (Sorcery Fight). This anime was so hype that it won 2020 Anime of the Year, but like last time, our opinions are still divided. We both agree, however, that Itadori and Toudou is the bromance we didn't know we wanted.

March 31, 2021 Attack on Titan: Above and Below (E75)
We review Attack on Titan: Above and Below (E75). Things come full circle in this last episode for part 1 of the final season. Eren is greeted by a surprise guest, which is followed up by a surprise visit from Marley in what could be one of the best (and worst) cliffhangers in AoT. We speculate what’s to come as we patiently wait for part 2 to arrive!⁠
Every era of anime has just a few shows that are so influential, they’re granted the title of “anime classic.” Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) could very well be that, and to celebrate the final season we’re reviewing every single episode on Strictly Anime!

We review Attack on Titan: Sole Salvation (E74). In the second episode of this week’s AoT double feature, Zeke takes center stage as we delve into his past, discover his plans to save Eldia, and decipher how the root cause of all this drama is bad parenting.

March 24, 2021 Attack on Titan: Savagery (E73)
We review Attack on Titan: Savagery (E73). In the first episode of this week’s AoT double feature, we’re treated to three different kinds of savagery: the main trio engaged in a not-so-civil discussion, Levi’s continued supremacy over Zeke, and Floch being his usual idiotic self.

March 22, 2021 30. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (S1)
Courtney reviews Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (Hanyou no Yashahime: Sengoku Otogizoushi) season one. As a long-time fan of Inuyasha, she dives into how Yashahime compares to Inuyasha, whether the new anime lives up to the hype of the original, the good and the bad of the first season, and what she hopes for in the second season.
