Crappy Anime Showdown

It feels like Ningen Fushin pulled off a reverse Moriarty the Patriot this week. It was looking like we were just going to be bored and when all of a sudden the bad voice acting was kicked into high fear with terrible delivery and awful story to boot! And Card continues to be a semi-good story with some outlandish choices. This week is one you definitely want to give a listen to!

Imagine if the movie Kingsman was made into a JoJo's style anime. That's High Card for you. Good parts of each crammed into a ridiculous plot about a 52 card deck of cards. Then i want you to imagine what it is like being 30 and being fired from your job. This has absolutely nothing to do with Chillin' in my 30's at all. It is just another Isekai wannabe anime where a powerful human takes on the d...

This weeks episode brought to you by William the weeb who says "Only you can prevent bad anime from existing." Because anime can take over and destroy a nation faster than a roaring forest fire. This weeks anime are exactly that where we have to choose which slow death moves on to next week, the avant-garde wannabe in Fire Hunter or the Ancient Magus Bride knockoff that is Tale of Outcasts. Come l...

If you were hoping this episode would be like talking about Hellsing Ultimate gone religious, I am sorry to report it is not. The team here at CAS has not been bamboozled this hard since Moriarty the Patriot, only this time it is from the reviewers. To them I have to ask, what in the world dod you mean when you promised overly religious revenger material? Oh we also talk about Reborn but to be hon...

Well Ethan is sick this episode so that means you get hear a lot more of J as he compensates for Ethan's voice. In other news an anime that combines Mr. And Mrs. Smith with a baby takes on an anime that promises, but does not deliver, 4 versions of the Joker taking on dungeons together in an Isekai on every aspect but the transported to another world. It is as if this anime wanted to ride the Isek...

I don't know if it is the fact that we have not done the selection for bad anime for a few months but there is nothing to say except it feels like we are at the top of Kingda Ka with this one! The highest of highs with this one and just teetering at the top to see if we fall forward into a fun and wild ride or fall backward to our demise! Please join us in this precarious situation and help us fin...

Vacation is all we ever wanted but it is a fleeting dream as it comes to a close this week. However, we have an awesome discussion about where to rank each anime on our list and about anime as a whole. Make your list and see if you can guess our finale verdict. If you need to feel free to relisten to every episode this season to give you an edge against those who are also guessing.

Some of you have come to believe that I like war. I wish to dash these rumors! I do not like war. I. LOVE. WAR.Through my life, I have discovered so many forms of war. You get up in the morning, you get into your shitty car, and you see a rich CEO who works half as hard as you do drive down the street in his Porsche. Class war. You make it to work, and you find out that the annual drug test is tod...

The penultimate episode to what has been the best vacation we could have hoped for. Paranoia agent is a strikingly complex and enjoyable anime. That just further confounds me as to why Ethan spent most of his time saying Initial D deserves to be in the one spot. I mean I agree with him, but still very strange. On the flip side we discuss what it means to have too much of a good thing. Have a liste...

If you are a fan of boxing we recommend this. If you are a fan of sports anime we recommend this. If you are curious about either we recommend this. If you are a fan of JW's passionate rants about activities he enjoys we recommend this. If you are a fan of Ethan being miserable, unfortunately we can not recommend this anime or episode but you can look forward to all of next season for that. My poi...

In todays episode we discuss how thinking Power from Chainsaw man is a clear self-report of people we do not want to be associated with. We also discuss how episode 8 is a self-contained masterpiece, almost. All in all Chainsaw Man is just another clear example of how good premises get ruined and paints a clear picture of why anime as a whole continues to suffer. To end on a happy note, next week...

I can't really think of much to say except Redline was the best way to cap off 2022 and begin 2023. It is a movie that I truly believe any anime fan and even movie fan should see once kist to recognize the live and effort that went into making it. I hope you are ready for us to gush about an amazing movie such as this. And if nothing else i urge you to go watch it on your own!

I have to say this season keeps getting better and better and this week is no exception. We take a look at an anime twist on the classic French tale Count of Monte Cristo. From complex characters to green screen clothing this anime has it all. I also want to make it known that i have not seen a gayer piece of media and I mean that literally and in the best sense possible. France in the 1800's was...

It is a short one for sure. Mostly because it is an anime about cars and our defacto in-house filibuster, J does not know jack all about cars. And neither I nor the producer, not wanting to be interrupted more than a wildlife expert at the zoo by that one kid, decided we would just stick to the basics. Nonetheless it was a good anime so buckle up and enjoy.

This week GAS takes a good hard loom at one of the OG anime movies Ghost in the shell. A movie so good that they decided to stop at one movie and not make a single sequel or live action reboot like they do nowadays. We can only give thanks that the reputation of this movie will never be tarnished and will live on as a monument to what anime can be. We also get to hear more from the JAnon conspirac...

On this episode we talk about how Black Panther 2 was an unfortunate letdown for many reasons. We discuss how the writing was bad the story made no sense and the only saving grace of it being a movie empowering women was completely discarded halfway through the movie. What's that? You say we watched Jormungund? Well that is definitely better than BP2 so we got that going for us.

Well it only took until the second episode until we reverted to picking terrible anime. And Ethan of all people was the one to put a massive speed bump into our vacation. Baccano! Is like watching Knives out only every 6 seconds there is a time jump. And when you finally make it to the end, the payoff for all of your hard work following the timeline is am ending that makes the martha scene from Ma...

This is the first in an eleven episode season in which we finally watch good anime! That is right nonstop vacation action from us at CAS because we earned it. Also because this season of anime happens to be one of the worst in regards to options to select. Nonetheless we get to pull Ethan back ever so slightly from the edge and try our best to not give J any ammo to get us canceled. Hope you all e...

No BS this is the best anime we have watched all year. Mostly because we just found out that Legend of the Galactic Heroes has 2 new seasons. That is neither here nor there as we take a deep dive into a well thought out and put together anime. We also found out that the loli that stays has actually been a lie the whole time. This is a rare treat to duve into something all four of us enjoyed so we...

We did it, folks. We somehow managed to find a way to stretch this episode beyond an hour. This was probably our biggest challenge yet as we had only the worst of the season, such as Sniff of the Arsnitoria and Extreme Hearts, left to talk about. The bright news is we actually might get to see something fun when we watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners for the next Episode. Also spoiler alert there is a tie...

Now I know what everyone of you is thinking. There is not possible way that we are able to follow that spectacular almost 3 hour episode last week with 3 random benchwarmers. The only thing that I have to say to you doubters, to you naysayers to you non believers is this: you are 100 percent correct. I bet the sub 90 minute runtime gave that away didn't it. Will nonetheless we give it our all like...

It's here it's here!! It is finally here! Bring out the whole family, for today we have a momentous occasion! We have a finale to a season that lives up to CAS standards!!! the crowd goes wild. It got us so excited that we almost hit the 3 hour mark so that is pretty cool. Anyway I will not spoil anything just know we believe it is worth the listen.

Well this episode feels real icky. Not much I can say beyond what we say in episode besides that some people are just beyond disgusting. However we once again take an in depth look at SA trends that occur all too frequently in anime. We also get to shine a light on what it means to develop 2 characters in Shine On! If you can not handle in depth conversation about SA especially rape then this epis...

It has come to my attention that occasionally I make spelling mistakes while writing these descriptions. All i have to say is that the high marks in English class I had had had had no effect on my current knowledge of the language. Take that grammar police! Oh yeah we also watched two anime and talk about how one is clearly more superior than the other. Enjoy!

Tempers flare in this battle of crappy anime as J and Ethan duke it out over.....Paprika? Now hold on a minute you mean we have two perfectly bad anime and those decides to fight over one that is actually decent? Well I hope you guys do not mind. Also McDougal makes an appearance again!!
