Crappy Anime Showdown

What a banger! Absolute strike of an episode! We got much less sexualization than anticipated so a win their. And we got exactly the right amount of Feudal Japan bowling. Just the right amount of good-bad to start off this season.

You know it! You love it! It's usually one of the best episodes we release in a season! It's selection time! Get in there and listen already!

Due to timing constraints this will be the final episode of this season. I can promise you it is a banger as these anime deliver on what they promised. Kowloon being a very strange sci-fi mystery romance and Too Perfect Saint being the tales of the Prince and his mental gymnastics!

I am pretty sure that the estates of any musical composer should be trying to sue the creators of Classic Stars as it is anything but a classic. It claims to derive inspiration from the classical composers but naught is found from the first minute until the end of each episode. Too Perfect delivers one of the most crucial characters and probably the best written villain this season if not this ent...

It's almost like the vibes anime takes on the anti-vibes anime. Where Apocalypse Hotel tries to make you feel warm and easy with a sprinkle of uneasiness to keep you on your toes, KGR is all uneasiness and intrigue where someone occasionally whispers the word normal so that you don't feel off kilter at all times. I really can't describe these anime or how far apart they are so have a listen for yo...

It has finally happened. We here at CAS have decided to bear witness to an anime that leads with its chest and follows up with more of its chest. Please put them on truly encapsulates what I truly believe every anime is striving to be at its core and that is not a good thing. On the other hand we have ghost Mozart giving his "gift" to a man who seems to want nothing to do with it and would rather...

I was outvoted this episode. This makes me sad because now we have to watch more of the one i considered to be on the rails. I will however say that these too anime were polar opposites of each other vibe wise. Too be Hero tries too hard to be the edgy version of My Hero Academia and Apocalypse Hotel wants to cuddle up on the couch with you as the world collapses around you. Hope this piques your...

I really had hope that both of these would break anime-norms and just be a complete trashy blast. Instead we get Gaslit Gorilla Girl in a farfetched world and an anime that highlights the absolute worst of political intrigue. I still think the winner here has hope, but no spoilers so tune in.

Kowloon Generic Romance is one of the most confusing anime i have watched in a minute. Take that wqith a very big grain of salt, but it certainly sets itself apart from everything else out there. Witch Watch on the other hand just tries to stay within the weird pseudo romance anime that exist without breaking too many walls. There is also a well known twitch streamer as the VA, so there is that.

Out of the code Lyoko Matrix into the best episode of every season as we get ready to select the new anime once again! From Beethoven to Lingerie ecchi we have possibly the widest array and smallest selections to date.

What an absolute nostalgia pick from our producer. We all get to hack into Lyoko to stop X.A.N.A from being a big bully. Unfortunately we didn't stop him in time as he was able to make a live action version that we also check out. This was half nostalgia and half painful which, if you have listened long enough, you know is a good combination

Another season in the books and another victory when it comes to CAS correctly predicting the bad anime and the fun bad anime. We may be getting too good at this. Let's see who takes home the trophy for called shots and any parting thoughts as we close out this season.

The heavyweight showdown of the season finally is here! We get to see if small girls commiting war crimes can stand up to the struggles of an animator after they die. I have to say both of these surprised me for different reasons and I am excited for you to listen.

I can't say I am surprised by this week at all. When a show promises wizards and then basically doesn't deliver and the other show is promising the first three episodes just to fall off a cliff it seems history really does like repeating itself. It was a fun episode nonetheless and always we hope you enjoy!

This episode goes to show that no good season of our podcast goes unpunished! And punished we were as we dealt with the constant disappointment vs the fall from grace.

Bogus Fruit is what happens when you watch I was reincarnated as a Slime and your takeaway is "Wow having an appraisal skill is the coolest thing ever.!". Zenshu is literally what happens to Mangakas when they die and you cannot convince me otherwise. That being said this episode rounds out the the first round of matchups and I can tell you there is a clear favorite heading Into the semifinals.

Vegemon: Vegetables evolved meets double Isekai extravaganza in this week's episode. That basically covers what we watch. I hope this message finds you well!

The one thing I can say about promise of Wizard is that it promised a wizard and we got at least one wizard. Other than that, I have no idea what in the world this show was supposed to give and therefore am waiting with baited breath to see the ultimate fight between wizard and Moon. Okitsura, on the other hand, promised an anime about Okinawa but instead I got an educational tourist promotion tha...

The first 120 seconds of Grisaia is a cinematic recapping masterpiece! If you didn't know anything about the Grisaia universe then prepare to be dumped a lot of unhelpful information only to be told you are now caught up to speed. Ameku MD, on the other hand, is what happens when we allow people to make a spinoff of House MD except he is short tempered small lady who is addicted to booze instead o...

The new season is upon us! Unfortunately we are back in Winter Simulcast which is where every studio throws there scrap just to keep us satisfied until spring where they finally can release better quality anime. That set aside I do think there is some really good potential with a few shows. Any chance anyone forgets what snake draft is? Probably.

This amazing season has finally come to a close. We get ready to tally the scores to see which one of us takes home the covered CAS belt, crown and chalice! All in all one of the best seasons we have had the fortune of watching. I hope next season can top this one or at least come close!

The long awaited follow up season to Arcane has finally arrived and so we use our bonus episode to watch and critique it. We even have Ethan come back and join us for this episode because this anime is not technically trash. Come listen to where each of us stand on this anime and how it compares to season 1.

WE DID IT! A full season of anime that brought something to the table for the amount of time we had to watch them. I cannot explain how amazing it is to have the anime equivalent of a perfect game. I will not spoil or hype anything up so click play and listen away!

If this season keeps going the way it has been I am not sure where we can go after it is over! Notorious Talker and Yakuza Fiance do not disappoint in yet another thrilling and genuinely fun episode. Looking forward to watching bad anime has not really been a thing since the early episodes and let me tell you what a refresher it is!

If you wanted more hair brained trillionaire schemes and a cyberpunk city that never want to deal with a plot point for more than 30 seconds then you are in luck! An absolute banger of an episode to keep this season chugging along with a chance at a perfect season!!
