In this episode we're asking the question "When is the right time for a reboot?" With the recent release of the Urusei Yatsura remake, and JD's tendency to watch unfinished shows, we thought this was a perfect time to have this discussion. We're on a quest to find the "goldilocks zone" for rebooting an anime! What anime is at the top of your "Needs a reboot" list?   Support The Adventure! Patreon...

Pokémon is just cool, plain and simple. Pokémon doing a crossover with your favorite anime is infinitely cooler. In this episode we're doing just that, again! This time we're imagining a new Pokémon region where the gym leaders are characters from various other anime. Assigning them each a team of Pokémon to accompany them in their newfound profession. Which anime character would you like to see i...

Happy Halloween everyone! To celebrate the spookiest of holidays we're reviewing Devilman Crybaby. The 2018 Devilman adaptation by Masaaki Yuasa that has plenty of dread and body mutilation to earn the horror tag from us. This anime is full of horrific scenes, societal commentary, and overall badass-ness, all wrapped up in some of the most unique animation the medium has to offer!   Support The Ad...

In this episode we're shaking up the Sorta-Seasonal formula you've come to expect. This time the hosts have watched separate anime and are reviewing them in what has been called "Two solo episodes combined into one giant robot of a regular episode!" Earthworm's choice was to continue his decent into the netherworld with Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun, while JD chose to continu...

In the anime world the term "Videogame Adaptation" usually leads to terrible shows, but every so often a hero rises to break the mold. In this episode we're reviewing Cyberpunk: Edgerunners! A Studio Trigger series released on Netflix set in the Cyberpunk universe created by Mike Pondsmith. Made with all the quality Trigger is known for, this series sets a new standard for how to adapt games into...

Siscon September was quite the adventure but this week it comes to an end. In this episode we discuss the genere of siscon, its history in anime and manga, and why it appeals to so many. We aren't alone in our exploits as we're joined by the Siscon Sensei himself, Matt from Otaku Melancholy! He brings his love and knowledge of the subject and gives us a different perspective on these types of show...

So far Siscon September has been full of ecchi content but that ends today! In this episode we review Koi Kaze, quite possibly the most real take on what it means to have romantic feelings for a sibling. This anime is well directed with an artful touch and takes a more serious tone than most siscon.   Support The Adventure! Patreon   Join The Adventure!

In this episode we're starting off Siscon September, a month where we review a new siscon anime every week, with a review of OniAi!

We're back with another Forced Recommendation! This time JD had to watch ODDTAXI, while Earthworm was tasked with completing Megalobox 2: Nomad. Two shows that came out last year and missed our respective radars. Were they worth going back and watching, or are they better left forgotten?   Support The Adventure! Patreon   Join The Adventure!

It's the last week of JMovie June and we're capping it off with an adrenaline filled piece of art. We're reviewing Redline, the 2011 film that took 7 years to create and almost bankrupt studio Madhouse! Was the crazy amount of time and money worth it for this cult-classic, or was there a reason it was a box-office flop? How did you feel about Redline?   Support The Adventure!

Our third installment of JMovie June is a review of Sword of the Stranger! A lesser-known film from 2007 produced by studio BONES, this one has all the quality of today's hits. Set in the Sengoku period of Japan, this movie tells the story of a nameless samurai, a young boy and his dog. Do you think Sword of the Stranger holds up today?   Support The Adventure!

We continue on with JMovie June! In this episode we're reviewing the critically acclaimed Princess Mononoke! Directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli, this film is the ultimate depiction of man versus nature. This one seemingly has it all, but does the Ghibli style jive with the Brothers?
