Anime Brothers

Welcome to our Sorta-Seasonal Review for Winter 2021! This season of anime has been amazing, and we've got a lot to say about these shows. So we're splitting up our review into 2 parts! In this episode we discuss the follow up seasons to two of the best anime to air in 2019. The Promised Neverland and Dr. Stone! How do these sophomore submissions stack up to their first seasons? HINT: We had to br...

Believe it or not, we have a soft side. We're suckers for an adorable creature we can call our friend. As humans that creature is usually a cat or dog, but in anime they can be anything! (Still often a cat or dog though) In this episode after our Monthly Patron Q&A, we're talking about those adorable anime creatures. Mostly ones you would consider a sidekick or "part of the team," but only one rul...

We're back with our 3rd installment in our Forced Recommendations series! Where each host forces the other to watch an anime of their choice! JD has chosen 2019s post-apocalyptic, stone age science adventure, Dr. Stone for Earthworm to watch. Earthworm has chosen for JD  2007s dark fantasy, shonen action anime, Claymore. Our last set of recommendations didn't go so well, with both shows missing th...

In this episode we're doing a deep dive into the first half of Attack On Titan: The Final Season!  Does it live up to the hype?  Hear our thoughts and...

We've been podcasting for a year!  First of all we'd like to thank everyone who listens and supports, we wouldn't be here without you. Second, we're excited! To celebrate we're re-doing our first episode. Asking the same questions we asked when we first started, but with some very different answers.

Most anime have at least a lack luster characters or two, sometimes one that can be removed from the story completely. In this episode we're running down the most useless anime characters that we've seen, as well as our monthly Patron Q&A.  Some hot takes, some popular opinions, all quality discussion! And no, we don't bring up Sakura. Let us know which anime characters you think are the most usel...

A great cast of characters can really carry an anime. It's even better when those characters are part of a team. In this episode we're talking about the best squads in anime. Maybe it stems from our shonen roots, but we absolutely love when a good group of characters team up to take on the conflict of the story, together. From classic shonen squads, to moe-girl school clubs, we've got it all.  Let...

He's done it. JD has watched 50 different anime series! As always, to celebrate this milestone he's counting down his top 25 anime.

Of course, the more you watch the more you forget, but there are some moments that will be etched in our brains forever. In this episode we're going over some scenes in anime that stuck with us from the moment we saw it. Whether they be purely shonen hype moments, or and emotional speech that changed our lives. If they stuck with us we're talking about them! Let us know what scenes in anime you ca...

Genres in anime are, well, different. The most popular genre tags don't describe what type of show it is, as much as it describes who the show is targeted to. Shonen, Shojo, Seinen. These all describe the gender and age range the show is targeted to rather than the subject matter of the show. In this episode we're discussing why people put so much weight into what genre an anime falls into. We bri...

Coming from a shonen background we're no stranger to characters that seem unbeatable, and honestly, we kind of love it! So in this episode we're talking about the most overpowered characters that we've seen grace the screen. Let us know which anime character you think is the most OP!   Support The Adventure!

Winter 2021 is chock full of sequels. One that we're most excited for is The Promised Neverland! What has been called "butt-clencher the anime" by some, The Promised Neverland is one of the most promising thriller anime to hit the scene is years. With season 2 breathing down our necks, we thought it would be a good time to have an Honest Discussion about season 1! As well as some hype and predicti...

For this episode topic we're keeping it simple. We're talking about the smartest characters we've seen in anime.

This is a very exciting episode for us Brothers. Not only is it our Sorta-Seasonal review for the Fall 2020 anime season, but we're also trying out some new equipment our Patrons helped us purchase. For the first time since episode 5 the Anime Brothers are recording together in the same "studio." We hope you enjoy the chemistry that seeing the other host allows us to have.  Other than that excitem...

Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. In anime it comes when a show has all the right stuff. Premise, characters, plot, but that last season or two just aren't the same. In this episode we give our opinions on which anime should or should have called it quits! As well as some anime we want more of, and just a few that are the perfect length.    Support The Adventure!

The Anime Brothers are down a man in this episode. JD has taken the week off for personal reasons. To avoid being alone Earthworm has asked friend of the show Robby to join him on the adventure! Robby isn't quite the anime connoisseur that The Brothers are, but he's got a few shows that he's eager to talk about! Attack On Titan being one of them, and with the new season premiering there's plenty o...

In this episode it's all about the Weapons of Anime! Well, not all about them. We've completed a few shows each and as always we like to talk about the things we're watching.

In this episode we're joined by two of our oldest friends, Ian (YungxHarm) and Robby! They've both been amazing musicians for as long as we've known them, so we thought we'd bring them on and hear their thoughts on some of our favorite OPs. Each host lays out 5, and it's up to our guests to tell us if they do indeed slap.  As always, let us know what anime OPs get your blood pumping at any of our...

Today we fly our degenerate flag high! We're each putting together a harem worthy of Olympic gold.
