Together We Anime Podcast

Hop in bounty hunters as the Together We Anime crew review the critically acclaimed Cowboy Bebop. They discuss Bebop's ability to navigate larger stories through the vehicle of their profession. They analyze the characters of the show, the unique relationships, and how, sometimes, the side characters stole the show. The animation, voice acting, and soundtrack are huge selling points for modern anime, so the crew asks if Bebop manages to still stand on a pedestal nearly 30 years later. But most importantly, TWA determines if Cowboy Bebop feels like eating bell peppers and beef without the beef or if it makes us sing The Real Folk Blues at the top of our lungs.

Be careful with that anxiety as the Together We Anime crew takes a swing at their wildest anime yet: Paranoia Agent. They attempt to make sense of the cult classic created by the late, great Satoshi Kon. When the line between reality and delusion is so blurred, does the story suffer from its own complexity, or does the message hit harder because of it? While much of the anime is character-driven, the crew have different views on how it impacted them personally. They also discuss the opening and ending themes, and while the music may not be for everyone, their minds are blown by the effectiveness of the accompanying imagery. But more importantly, they determine if Paranoia Agent made them want to address accountability head on or if they're waiting on Golden Bat to fix their problems.

Summer break is over as the Together We Anime crew is back together again! Before picking up a new anime to watch, we decide to answer a few fun anime questions. Each member gives their current anime hot takes--will any have the Internet in an uproar? Next, each member plays defense attorney as we try to defend a hated anime character and keep them out of prison. Which anime characters you bringing on a road trip? The crew hops in the car with some of their favorite characters and explain why each is necessary for the ride. Finally, the crew ranks the podcast's top five shows they suggest to watch. Be sure to stick around to the end to see what anime we're watching next!

We went deep into the vault to give you this special unreleased episode! If you didn't know, the pod used to be called Just Started Watching Anime. But we have graduated, and we're traveling back in time!

The Together We Anime crew (formerly JSWA) heads to the mysterious Quindecim to review Death Parade. We discuss the show's unique afterlife premise, the emotional weight behind each judgment, and how its psychological storytelling keeps viewers questioning what it truly means to be human. Does Death Parade deserve a spot on your watchlist, or should it be left in the afterlife?

Let us know how you feel about Death Parade in the comments!

The Together We Anime crew takes advantage of a day off and reviews Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead. They discuss the hook of the first episode, marveling at its beautiful imagination while acknowledging the controversy of its production. Each character brought a different energy to the show, and the crew decided who they most resembled. They also ask to explore what it truly means to be alive in a world filled with the living dead. Most importantly, is Zom 100 a chill RV getaway with your friends, or would you rather get chomped on by a zombie?

We open the portal to Makai as Together We Anime reviews the Netflix adaptation of Devil May Cry.

This demonic monstrosity could not be tackled by only the three of us, so we are joined by KeeLowLow and Pastor Tae of the TKOh...Nah Podcast!

We discuss how the anime hits a casual viewer vs a diehard fan of the Devil May Cry game. The characters come into focus as they discuss whether this is even the Dante they know and love, and whether they were let down by the writing. But most importantly, we determine if Devil May Cry lives up to the prestige of one of the most influential games of all time, or if one of the greatest characters of all time just becomes a background character in their own story.

Be sure to let us know how you feel about Devil May Cry in the comments!

In this episode of Together We Anime, we review Parasyte: The Maxim—an anime that’s equal parts thought-provoking, emotional, and… a little all over the place.

We break down Shinichi’s internal struggle, the story’s deeper themes about humanity, and whether the series tries to do too much at once. Does Parasyte deliver on its message, or does it lose focus along the way?

Stick around as we rate the anime and answer the big question: Is Parasyte worth your time?

In this episode of the watch club, we dive into Horimiya — a fan-favorite romance that’s known for its cozy vibe and lovable characters. We break down what the show does really well, where it falls a little flat, and the one thing we couldn’t ignore… it feels like something’s missing.

From character dynamics to pacing and emotional payoff, we give our honest thoughts on whether Horimiya lives up to the hype — and whether it’s actually worth your time. If you’ve seen it (or are thinking about it), this is your spoiler-friendly watch club discussion.
