The Con Artists Podcast

Stream Team 01 (Livechart Chat for Spring 2020)

The Con Artists get together to do something a little different this time.  We sit on https://www.livechart.me/spring-2020/tv together and chat about what's coming out this season.  We are also looking for our new RR show.  How will anything measure up to Gleipnir?!  

We appologize for Dan's audio quality.  Being quarantined has melted his brain and he used a bad microphone.

The intro/outro music is:

Symphogear G - "Rainbow Flower"

Lyrics/Composition: Noriyasu Agematsu

Arrangement: Seima Iwahashi

Vocals: Aoi Yuki

Afterschool Dice Club

The Con Artists: Rolling Review #16

Fall 2019

Join the Con Artists as they use a sound-only format to discuss a visual-only medium try to get across the fun of a tactile pastime!  We even succeed (probably)!  Dan discusses game design, Brendan has some insights into the theme songs, Scott just wants Blokus to get some love, and everyone agrees with Su that the Ladies and Gentlemen board game would be hilarious to take way too seriously.  Now if only Emmy got the screen time she obviously deserved...

End of Cour Fall 2019

It's a lean season this time around but that doesn't stop us from chatting it up!  Don't you want to hear about Baylon?!  Hint...no...no you don't.  Dan needs to take up Basket Weaving.  

Su's all about them sequels and actually rags on Chihayafuru a little.  Scott makes his abilities average in his next life and Dan is not impressed by your Viking nonsense.  At least there's more Carol and Tuesday.  There's also lovey-dovey-friendship time for all who have tragic backstories.  Come on down and have a listen!

Note from Su: Before all the MHA fans get mad at me...Eri's quirk had not been revealed explicitly in the show prior to us recording this podcast.  I describe her quirk as best as I understood it for the time.

The Shows covered in this Podcast are: Vinland Saga; Dr. Stone; Carole and Tuesday; Kono Oto Tomare S2; Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in my next life; Babylon; Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy; Chihayafuru S3; My Hero Academia S4

Fruits Basket (2019) S1

The intro music is: "Again" by Beverly

A girl who lives in tent gets attacked by a mudslide and then lives in a house with numerous hot men.  They turn into animals when she accidentally hugs them.  Tohru is many types of "adjective for beautiful" baked goods.  Uo and Hana are her amazing friend moms.  This show is also really dark at times.  Don't live in a tent kids.  Hug hot men instead!

The Promised Neverland

The intro music is: "Touch Off" by UVERworld

A loving family of orphans is overseen by a woman they call Mama. Everyday is peaceful and fun. Sometimes, children get adopted and move away from the farm they all live on. Absolutely nothing ever goes wrong ever and this show is warm and cuddly. I'm also lying. A lot. Watch this show it's absolutely amazing.

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara

The Con Artists: Rolling Review #13

Fall 2018

The intro music is: ISnAK: "17 Sai" by Haruka to Miyuki

The outro music is: ISnAK: "Mimei no Kimi to Hakumei no Mahō" by Nagi Yanagi

Hitomi long ago lost the ability to see color, and blames the mild magical abilities common to her family.  Her grandmother sees things differently, and magically sends her 60 years into the past on a journey of self-discovery and friendship.  There, she meets and gradually opens up to members of the photography club, and in so doing starts to recover her colors.  A soft, enjoyable drama with some beautiful use of color.  Plus a fancy magical fish drawing… of mystery!

Planet With

The intro music is: "One Unit" by Minami

Soya is the lone survivor of xenocide. He has a maid and a weird cat dude in his house to help him cope. He becomes the villain, then he becomes the good guy, and then love saves the day. Or something. The dragon is fat and ugly, the CG is weird and ugly and nobody should ever allow Japan to read Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End again. This show just rips off the names and the concepts and then has a catbot fight a dogbot. No I'm not kidding. Were you hoping all the psychological plot stuff was going to pay off? Yeah...so were we...

Golden Kamuy

The Con Artists: Rolling Review #11

Spring 2018

The intro music is: GK OP: "Winding Road" by MAN WITH A MISSION

The outro music is: GK ED: "Hibana" by THE SIXTH LIE

Immortal Sugimoto, a seemingly unkillable former soldier from the Russo-Japanese war, goes on a hunt for a massive gold treasure with the unlikely aid of Asirpa, a young Ainu girl.  Others, notably a rogue element of the Japanese military, are also searching for it.  What follows is a brutal, violent, and frequently deadly story that is generally well-told and solidly animated.  Just watch out for rogue Orca whale attacks… on land.
