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.

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...

This week we did our first podcast on twitch! If you want to join on the live show, Wednesday nights at 8:30 EST we will record the podcast on twitch.tv/crazyjam. Artsy and I tried a double mic situation this week so you may hear a little echo, I apologize as we are find tuning it! The Boy and the Beast was a very enjoyable movie, but it did give us some questions, listen in to see why and what we...

This wee we were joined by our buddy HoodieHanzo to review the movie Sing a Bit of Harmony! If you are listening to this when it drops, hope you have a great Thanksgiving day! This was a very enjoyable movie, it left us laughing but also thinking about how AI can and probably will be more integrated into our society.

We are back in the Princess Principal world and glad to be! Chapter 2 was a welcome movie after finishing Desert Punk and the build up from Chapter 1 started paying off here! We learned more about the Cowboy Assassin and the bigger plot going on! Join us as we talk about this great anime world and group of characters! Ratings: Artsy: 9/10 Cj: 8/10 Hosted on Acast.

We are back! Sorry guys, we had an insane week so we missed a recording but we are back on schedule! Desert Punk, phew it was tough to get through but we did it! Well Artsy mainly did it, I went off my previous knowledge haha. Thankfully though, next week we are jumping back into the world of Princess Principal! Ratings: Artsy: 1/10 Cj: 2/10 Hosted on Acast.

Apologies guys! This was supposed to go up before we left for Twitchcon, but I totally spaced and never hit post. Please enjoy our trip back to the world of Princess Principal! Artsy and I really enjoyed getting back to this world, but definitely had some things we weren't super excited about. Listen and let us know if you agree! Ratings: Artsy & CJ: 7/10 Hosted on Acast.

This week we watched 2017's No Game No Life Zero and it was an enjoyable revisit for me and a good first watch for Jess (Artsy). Seeing the origins for what is described in the anime was nice to see, but you do not need to watch the anime to enjoy this movie! Ratings: Cj & Artsy: 8.0/10.0 Hosted on Acast.

This week was a AASS episode! I was joined by my buddy Tobi and we chat about animes with endings or episodes that just turned us off or left us annoyed. Do you have any animes where the ending left a sour note in your mouth? Let us know on twitter! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we watched 2021's Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop and it was a very enjoyable watch! The main characters, Smile and Cherry are written well and the progression as a whole feels very organic. We both definitely recommend this movie if you enjoy slice of life and romance animes! Ratings: Cj: 8/10 Jess: 9/10 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week was a struggle for Jess, listen in to hear why! We watched episodes 1-11 of 2004's Desert Punk and it was definitely interesting. Part 2 will be coming in the following weeks! Ratings: Jess: 1/10 Cj: 3/10 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we are back on Anime Anonymous Side Story! Join Me, Jess and Jack from Featured Anime Podcast talking about what we deem as action; spoiler alert, its interesting! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
