This week we reviewed a fan recommendation, Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka! I assumed that it was going to be a fun and cute time and man we were WRONG! The story was interesting, and we thought they tackled certain difficult topics pretty well! Listen in to hear more about what we thought of this recommendation and thank you again to Ryan Van Sickle. Want to join us live? Head over to twitch.tv/craz...

This week we reviewed Made in Abyss Season 1, a recommendation from ForSho! One thing we definitely loved was that season 1 fleshed out the story a bit more than the movie and went further than where the movie ended. We learned more about the world, the curses, and how some of white whistles operate! Listen in to hear more about this insane world in the abyss! Want to join us live? Head over to tw...

Apologies guys, between weather and tech issues, this episode had issues coming out but it finally is! We watched this movie and it was definitely interesting. The world building and lore that was brought out definitely kind of sucks you into the world, but some of the characters can be slightly annoying. Listen in to what we thought! Want to join us live?

This week we reviewed a recommendation by one of our community members, Sabre, and his recommendation was Solo Leveling! I loved the manwha but this was really Artsy's first real intro to the world.

This week you get two episodes, apologies on this late upload! Short version, had some personal stuff pop up but we got it handled! On to the anime, Kaiju number 8! We follow mainly Hibino, Kafka, a 32 year old man who always wanted to join the Defense Force but never passed. Also, another major character is his trainee/partner from the cleaning job named Ichikawa, Reno. We follow them through try...

This week we reviewed Jack's from Featured Anime Podcast recommendation, 2016's Keijo!!!!! I had purposefully dodged this anime because of every clip I had seen being super ecchi. That is why when Artsy and I watched it and ended up enjoying many parts, we were the most surprised! Listen in to see what we liked, and also what we didnt. Stay tuned for next week as we review something more r...

This week we reviewed 2018's movie I Want to Eat Your Pancreas where we follow a nameless mc for the most part and our female lead named Sakura. If you are looking for an enjoyable story, character development, and a trip into the feels then this movie is definitely for you. Even outside of that, I would recommend this to still be on your list of too watch anime! Want to join us live? Head ove...

This week we covered 2022's Inu-Oh and boy was it a much different experience between Artsy and me! If you like crazy dancing, insane guitar/biwa skills with a bit of break dancing then you might like this! Fair warning though, do not go into this expecting an amazing story or visuals or else you will be very disappointed. Want to join us live? Head over to twitch.tv/crazyjam where we live record...

This week we tackled The Case Study of Vanitas Part 2 and we were hoping for answers, but instead got more questions! The visuals and music are still top tier, and alot of the action is well done but the flow seems a little awkward compared to the first part; listen to hear us give a more in depth review! Also, the Patreon is finally live! If you miss joining us live on twitch, you can get the ful...

This week we covered The Case Study of Vanitas Part 1 and it was a good watch! Visuals, music, and action are all very well done but all the unanswered questions definitely leave things to be desired! If you are looking for a much different take on the Vampire genre, this is definitely the anime for you! Want to join us live?

Apologies! I did not notice the error that the episode did not post Friday morning so here it is! This week we had some more AASS for you, tackling the topic of what makes something an anime or a cartoon. This also randomly turned into a slight therapy session which is one of the many reasons I love the Side Story episodes, we just get to chat with you and delve into the side tangents! Want to joi...

This week we reviewed a recommendation from Jack of Featured Anime Podcast, No Game No Life! We had done the movie and always assumed we had already covered the series! Join us as we chat about these super intelligent, funny, and SUS siblings in Shiro and Sora on their journey to dominate the world of Disboard and challenge the god Tet! Want to join us live?

This week we wrapped up Trigun Stampede and just like we thought, we enjoyed the last 6 episodes more, me much more and Artsy a little more! The breakdown Knives and Vash's history was done well, and finally seeing Vash stand up for himself was very enjoyable to see. There was loss, some triumph, and some big cliffhangers/callbacks to characters from Trigun 98. Next week we have a recommendation f...

This week is slightly different, we split 2023's Trigun Stampede into two parts! I remembered watching about half of the original Trigun, so I figured us reviewing the first half would be a good point for myself and Artsy to really theorize about what may be coming up! Have you seen Trigun Stampede, if so what did you think? Ratings on this one will change after watching the series as a whole! Wan...

This week's episode we reviewed 2006's The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and, it was something for sure! We follow Makoto through the movie as she realizes that she can jump back in time and how she uses this new found power for her benefit while slowly coming to know that her benefit might cause other people harm.

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?
