This week's episode was on 2010's The Secret World of Arrietty and it was a very nice and welcome surprise. Generally, we aren't huge fans of the craziness with faces and animation that usually comes with Ghibli, but this one actually kind of resonated with us. The visuals are beautiful like always, but the detail in how the borrowers move around and live was very cool to see. Want to join us live...

This week's choice was 2023's Shangri-La Frontier follows our main character Rakurou Hizutome, or Sunraku as his ign. He takes a break from his hobby of playing trash games to play the god game known as SLF, or Shangri-La Frontier. I do remember at first not being interested when I saw the trailer of this anime, but I can definitely say I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out! Want to jo...

I know, this episode is a week late and we apologize! Short version, we had technical difficulties for a week and a half but now everything is fixed and we are back on schedule! Buddy Daddies was a recommendation from Mark, and man was it a surprise; Artsy and I were not expecting it to turn out the way it did but we were thoroughly engaged. If you are looking for a comedy with action and feels, t...

This week we tackled 2020's A Whisker Away, and there were parts that made you laugh, relate, and raise an eyebrow! We follow the main character Miyo as she transforms between human and cat to learn about her crush, and even more about herself and family. Want to join us live?

This week Artsy and I jumped back into the world of Mashle, and man was it fun! Season 2 of Mashle is definitely more focused than the first one as it mainly follows Mash on his journey/trials while taking the Divine Visionary Exam parts. Another thing that was cool about this season was that we got several answers to questions we had, but those just brought up more questions! Have you seen Mashle...

Apologies for the late upload on this one, had some issues with the editing of it. This episode was a random pick by yours truly, 2019's Promare. This movie was about individuals fighting other individuals who have fire powers and like to set things ablaze, and one firefighter whose soul is always on fire to put fires out! Needless to say, this left alot to be desired for both Artsy and I. Have yo...

This week we reviewed Mark's recommendation of Netflix's My Happy Marriage and were even lucky enough to have him join on the episode! This anime tackles emotional trauma in a very well-written and real way; it makes you hate the abusers and really feel for Miyo, the main character, as she struggles with her confidence and self-worth. I highly recommend this anime if you are looking for a nice lov...

This week we reviewed a recommendation from Tort which was Rage of Bahamut : Genesis. I remember thinking I would like this when it first dropped and did it disappoint or live up to expectations, listen in to hear! Want to join us live?

This week Artsy and I reviewed Studio Ghibli's From Up on Poppy Hill. This movie came out back in 2011 and is classified as a romance/drama movie set in 1963 Yokohama Japan. Artsy and I were both hesitant since our first review of Ghibli was....something, but this was a much more enjoyable experience! Listen in to hear exactly what we thought of this movie and the way they showed change and growth...

This week Artsy is back!!!! We stuck on the theme of last week's side story of romance anime with Weathering with You. Short version, if you liked Your Name then you probably will enjoy this movie! The visuals are great, music is lovely when it is there, and we talk about much more in the episode! Want to join us live?

Hi all, apologies for the late posting on this one! Artsy had some family stuff come up and thankfully Mark was gracious to jump on with me an do another side story, this one on our thoughts about romance anime! We talk about are likes, dislikes and more in regards to romance anime in general and the different tropes usually associated with them. Want to join us live? Head over to twitch.tv/crazyj...

This week was my random choice of 2009's movie Summer Wars, and if you read the title of the episode then you kind of already know how we felt about it haha. The story revolves around two main characters, Kenji a math genius who has no experience with girls, and Natsuki who has hired Kenji to be her fake boyfriend. While this family drama is happening, there is drama going on in the cyberworld kno...

This week Artsy and I dove into the fantasy world of 2018's Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms. The simplest way to describe this movie is a tale of two coming of age stories: one of a baby boy into a man, and one of an "ageless" young elf-like woman into a caregiver and mature woman. Usually I like to give a bit more in these summaries, but I think this movie is worth the watch, even with it...

This week we jumped back into the world of The Misfit of Demon King Academy, AKA Anos does whatever the heck he wants! Season 2 thought definitely is much more story oriented than Season 1. If you liked the randomness and overpowered outlandish things Anos did in the first season, just know there are alot less moments of that this time, but they are still there and still hilarious! This season def...

This week, Artsy and I reviewed 2023's Protocol: Rain and we did not enjoy it. The plot, what there is of it, is not very hard to follow but the anime itself feels confusing with no real likeable characters. Listen in to more reasons why you probably should steer clear from this anime! Want to join us live? Head over to twitch.tv/crazyjam where we live record each episode Wednesday night at 8:30 p...

This week we were blessed with another Makoto Shinkai creation called Suzume. Suzume shares alot with his previous creation, Your Name as it has amazing visuals, great sound design, and an interesting story. That being said, it didn't hit all the aspects as perfectly as Your Name in our opinion, but was a very enjoyable movie nonetheless; listen in to hear just exactly what we thought and why we t...

This week we reviewed 2019's Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious. This was a huge change of pace and vibe from the last few weeks of the Evergarden-verse! Cautious hero follows the story of our S class hero Seiya and the Goddess Ristarte as they journey to save an S class world. This anime is full of humor and action, but the ending definitely is one to look out for! Want to...

This week Artsy and I cover the 2020 movie Violet Evergarden: The Movie and man did it hit hard even on the rewatch. We both remembered it was emotional, but we didn't remember just how impactful the emotional scenes were. This movie is a beautiful wrap up to the series and special, it sows the growth of Violet in a very real and raw way, it has different individuals reconcile, and unfortunately s...

This week was a late recording and we apologize! We reviewed the 2019 movie for Violet Evergarden and....it left some to be desired. Artsy and I go into more detail in the episode as to why!

This week Artsy and I did a slight switch up, we originally were going to do the OVA and first movie together but after watching the OVA we realized it deserved its own episode. The OVA falls in-between episodes 4 and 5, going to Iris' family and the love letters between kingdoms. While I personally don't believe the OVA is technically needed, I believe it does its job very well of showing more in...

This week we got to go to one of my favorite world's in anime, the world of Violet Evergarden. Violet Evergarden is one of Artsy's and my favorite animes and anime characters. This anime is full of beautiful visuals, intense emotional scenes, great character development, and some of the best sound design in our opinions. Listen in to see why we love it and why we recommend this as a must watch! If...

This week we decided to follow the holiday season! We talk about 2019's Klaus movie and spoiler alert, we enjoyed it alot! It took the old myth of Santa and kind of flipped it on its head but in a very funny and cool way. If you ever want to join in on the live recording, join us at twitch.tv/crazyjam.

You know it and love it, we had another A.A.S.S. episode this week and we had two guests, Jack from FeaturedAnimePodcast and Mark from stream! this is one of our longest episodes to date and we had a good time talking about different tropes we like, dislike, and just downright hate!

This week we reviewed the recommendation of And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online? Slight spoilers, we enjoyed it but listen in to hear why we did exactly! Also, we taught Artsy alot of new terms and ideas about gaming which blew her mind! Ratings: Artsy: 7/10 Cj: 8/10 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Man, this episode was a struggle, and it was all my fault; listen in to hear why! This week, we reviewed Bofuri Season 2 and it was definitely enjoyable to jump back into this world and see the craziness that Maple and her guild get into. How do you feel about Bofuri, do you like it or not really? Let us know in your review and what else we can do to get better! Ratings: Artsy: 7.5/10 CJ: 7/10 Hos...
