We've reached Double Digits! There's a lot of Anime Movie talk this week, what with Demon Slayer breaking records and Sword Art Online Progressive getting more details. We also discuss iconic anime weapons and the intricacies of certain cosplays. But reallllly we're here to gush about the Fate movie we watched this week. Is Prisma Illya the...best Fate timeline? Feel free to share your strong opinions about that question by writing in at [email protected]!

It was a busy week on the non-weeby side of the USA this week, as the Presidential Election loomed large. Rather than just stare at the slow crawl of numbers coming in, we decided it was the perfect night to turn to that one thing that's never let us down: anime. And boy, did we take some weird chances on shows. 

In other news, why does the Wheel of Fate hate us? Did Steve buy a new figurine? Can we rescue Zero Two from the depths of the Waifu Watch? You'll have to listen to find out; as always, if you'd like to be part of the show, email us at [email protected]!

Sony might be buying Crunchyroll, which is actually kind of a big deal! Steve might be buying new figurines, which is also kind of a big deal! Plus, the boys finally hash out the ultimate question of which Rent-a-Girlfriend character they would go on a date with.

It's that spooky time of year! Let's get scared and talk about the Horror Anime that have stuck with us over the years: from the supernatural to serial killers, we've got it all. Except for one grievous error Joe made by leaving out a certain ghoulish show; he apologizes for that. 

We also surprisingly rave about this week's Fate spinoff, and we have our first ever listener suggestion for the Waifu Watch. If you'd like to berate Steve for not buying new figurines, feel free to email us at [email protected]!

We've been watching a lot of new Fall Shows over the last couple of weeks, and we'd love to tell you about them: completely new starts, new seasons of shows we already love, and continuations of shows we never expected new content from. It's all happening, and we do a full dive...just like Kirito (I had to!). If you'd like to tell us to stop mentioning Sword Art Online, feel free to email us at [email protected]!

The Fall season is upon us; some anime are ending, some are just beginning. We may not make it to the finish line on all of them, but the ones we do must have something special about them. Great characters, great music, great animation, great fights...or they're Gibiate. We break down just how wild this show is and discuss some anime that missed the mark for us. 

Plus, Steve takes us on an impromptu journey through his early years dabbling in Anime AMVs. If you'd like to be a part of the show, please reach out to us at [email protected]!

A Live Action Yakuza adaptation got announced, willed into existence by Joe's prediction from two weeks ago. Probably not, but it's still very exciting! We get into some speculation and build our (bad) dream casts for the movie. 

Steve also reports back on the wild ride he took watching Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel Part 2: Lost Butterfly (full title required), and he argues his case for a spot on the Waifu Watch. If you'd like to be a part of the show, feel free to email us at [email protected]!
