The Casual Anime Podcast

Join the Casual Anime podcast in wrapping up the story of a million characters, the second season of Dead Mount Death Play.

For the first few episodes, My Happy Marriage had everything going for it, and an entire community rooting for an aranged marriage.

Because Western broadcasters seem to have a fetish for embarrassment we are getting a non stop deluge of bad live-action adaptations that has no one ever asked for. So in the case of Netflix' One Piece adaptation the bar was already set incredibly low. Though somehow, inexplicably they've exceeded expectations and assembled a cast that has managed to captivate audiences world wide. Join The Casual Anime Podcast in figuring out if this is the new superior way of experiencing the One Piece universe.

Today, The Causal Anime Podcast dive headfirst into Narita Ryohgo's peculiar world of "Dead Mount Death Play,". The lines between life and death are heavily blurred in this universe by the existence of an overpowered main character necromancer, but the show somewhat manages to keep the tension up by a cleaver method of slowly revealing new antagonists. Although not as critically acclaimed as some of his other works, hopefully this just means that there better content in store for us in the already announced seasons to come.

Sometimes works of fiction are based on historic events, but Vinland Saga takes this concept a step further trying to rewrite the 11th century's exploration of North America and the rise of King Cnut, ruler of England, Denmark and Norway. Season one is a long winded tale of a young boy seeking revenge in a midst of a viking invasion. It's certainly more Heimskringla(King's Saga) than Vinland Saga at this point.

"All that is gold does not glitter," and not all those who wander are necessarily lost, but most of the depraved lunatics our protagonist duo encounters in this post apocalyptic Japan are pretty safe to judge by appearance, albeit not necessarily the way you'd Imagine.
