The Shmanime Podcast

We’re back again reviewing another chunk of Mob Psycho 100! Join Eric and Liam in a particularly giggle filled episode as they waste time talking about Liam’s Margaret Thatcher screenplay, re-writing the hateful eight and the one mistake Spielberg made in Raiders.

 

I promise at some point we talk about the anime I PROMISE you.

Look, guys. I know we were all disappointed with Tom last time out. He made us watch and talk about a dumb show about women’s underwear. But today he returns triumphant! This week on Shmanime, Liam and Eric join Tom as they watch a very good show about cute boys figure skating. Along the way, they discuss the goddess of love, H.P. Lovecraft’s cat, and Sharkiesha’s epic beatdown. Also Tom takes the longest bathroom break ever in the whole wide world.

Major Cast co-founder Tom joins us today. He could have brought any anime to us. He had the entire medium at his fingertips, and he chose Punchline, a story about a boy who will destroy the world if he sees a girl’s panties. Along the way, your poor Shmanime hosts Liam and Eric try to talk about other things, which end up including Tom Waits impressions, the importance of keeping bears outside your home, and Slavoj Zizek.

I’d like to say that this is the episode where we finally buckle down and discuss the anime, but listeners, I’d be lying. This week on the Major Cast Network’s goofiest show, Liam and Eric watch Mob Psycho 100 – a show Eric loves. I guess it’s too bad that they talk about Eric’s running regimen, the KFC advertising strategy, and Norm MacDonald instead.

For this episode, Liam and Eric watch a show that was popular a year or two ago when it would have been topical to talk about. Oh well. We watched One Punch Man, talk Fozzy Bear, Henry Winkler, and Bug Stuff – it’s pretty standard.

Your favorite idiots got drunk and talked about pokemon again.

 

Fun fact: this was recorded a year ago on laptop mics so the sound is a little wonky.

Do you like food? Do you like sex? Do you think food is sex? Well then do I have an anime for you.

This week, Eric shocks Liam with Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma – a show that features a lot of rice, a lot of comedy, and a lot of tentacles. Liam still hasn’t forgiven Eric for it.

Awwwww SHIT y’all it’s happening, our first actual continuation of a promised series, it’s finally happening

This episode of Shmanime is our second go-round with Gurren Lagann, an anime about large robots and the power of believing in your friends, who believe in you. And this time, Liam and Eric get… existential.

Sometimes, in the course of your life, you just have to watch a show about teens who turn into animals if a member of the opposite sex touches them.

Or at least you do if you’re Eric and Liam and you run the Shmanime Podcast. This week, with the (brief) help of returning guest Lily, we take on Fruits Basket, and we discuss toilet paper, Liam’s hatred of Fleetwood Mac, and Mr. T re-envisioned as a butterfly.
