Crappy Anime Showdown

Thus is it. One more episode and we will be the farthest from our first episode we have ever been. It has been one heck of a season, but as this episode will show you we are pretty darn good at advancing the correct anime to the finals. Don't worry though. There is still enough anime left to laugh about! We are glad to have completed another season and look forward to Season 7 and hope you will jo...

If you take a look at the 1 hour time difference between last weeks and this week you might think to yourself, " If they said the episode was long last weeks was because it was amazing, does it means that this week sucks?" The short answer is absolutely. The long answer is that we are not perfect when we puck our anime as is evident if you have followed along this far. This week just so happens to...

Now before your day anything I totally understand you thinking 2 and a half hours is a long time for a podcast, can it really be that entertaining and funny. Well I have an answer for you but it is hidden somewhere in this episode. You may even need to listen to it multiple times to find out. I can say this final episode is like a Tyson vs Holyfield bout as two of the best crappy anime go toe to t...

Well we got some good news and some bad news. The good news is this is another banger of a week in a row of excitingly bad anime! The bad news is this is still Crappy Anime Showdown and thus the bar is set almost to the ground. Nonetheless Tesla Notes decides to continues to mock the legacy of its namesake at every corner. And Takt OP proves once and for all you do not have to know a thing about m...

This season justs keep getting better and better and this episode is now different! A battle between two possible finalists happens in the semi-finals with only one moving forward. Did we choose the anime in which Otakus dunk on themselves into oblivion while seemingly oblivious to that fact. Or did we choose the overtly racist vampire space program featuring a girl a vampire with stockholm syndro...

I can not imagine Thomas Edison is doing anything but rolling in his grave after this weeks anime. Why Edison you ask? I just assumed with him taking all of Teslas other inventions he would steal the anime based on them as well. If that is the case this is the first won Tesla has had in a while. On the other side of things Platinum End is a show about suicide and becoming a god after killing yours...

Here we are again folks at another CAS crossroads. The intersection of oh my gosh this is all just fluff avenue and Gurren Lagann rip off road. Two anime that seemingly want to give absolutely nothing new to this world but want to suck money away from potentially different anime because some weirdos in suits promise this will sell. The worst part is that they are correct and thus the slop continue...

Rumpus Grumpus is an anime that once and for all proves that it is not ok to take any hobby and make it your personality. There is nothing inherently wrong with liking anime but that doesn't mean we should go around screaming Baka at everyone we meet. On the other side of things I am pretty sure Deep insanity is just one giant Go Army recruitment video and that too is kind of creepy. Who wins out...

Season 6 selection time!! You know what that means!! Not only is it a 2+ hour episode, but we are also at the apex of the first hill of a roller coaster. Whether this is a fun roller coaster, or one that creates existential dread within us all is up to the 8 anime we selected. Odds are it will be at least a little bit of both, but here is hoping more of the former! We hope you get as pumped as we...

Have you ever been caught cheating by a teacher because you copied your friend's homework but change the answers to make them a little worse. Well that's what it feels like Pacific Rim: The Black did to its predecessor. In what can only be described as making an anime version of a movie, this does not fail to deliver with bad voice acting and funny moments that are treated as serious plot points....

It is in times like these where I wish I could muster up a speech such as Braveheart and tell you that bad anime may take our lives, but it can never kill our joy!!! But I am going to be honest with you this rundown sure took one hell of a swing at our joy. I mean it is mostly our fault as we are getting better at letting the best terrible anime to make it to the final. Nevertheless we made it thr...

THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE!! This is why we do what we do on this show. One of these benchwarmers is the cream of the crop when it comes to entertainingly bad anime. One of these anime is the reason we all get out of bed in the morning and routinely suffer. One could argue that at this point we are just perpetuating a sunk cost fallacy and I would have to agree. We can not, however, let that stop us an...

Sometimes you sit down and you watch a movie like Rocky and the whole time you are rooting for the underdog. You are cheering for Balboa to overcome immense odds and come out on top and even if he loses you will still have more respect for him after following his journey. However, there are times you sit down and watch a movie like Expendables because you wanna watch the good guys just smash the b...

LETS DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!! Well actually its more like the time butthole but I digress. Scarlet Nexus comes in blazing hot in this episode chock full of absolutely ridiculous political nonsense and a plot more convoluted that the After Earth movie. Drugstore tries to not pull any punches as our heroic pharmacist enters the sport fixing and arms dealing world. What a treat we are all in for! Fi...

"The world isn't perfect. But it's there for us, doing the best it can....that's what makes it so damn beautiful." ~ Roy Mustang (Full Metal Alchemist) Now I know what you are thinking. That by leading with that quote is am validating not only this weeks anime but all of the anime that we watch on this show. I have but one rey to that. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?! Absolutely not!! Did you even rea...

"Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!" - Hiyao Miyuzaki There could not be a more apt description of basically everything we watch on this show and these two anime are certainly no different. We have an anime about the...

Sometimes there re weeks in which the anime we watch fill us with delight with how funny and bad they re proving to all of us that this whole podcast idea is worth it! This week is the complete opposite unfortunately. However we here at Crappy Anime Showdown are as committed as ever to bring you high quality commentary and G-Dang-it that is exactly what we will do. So prepare to be transported to...

Imagine a world where Vince Giligan was writing a show about an everyday school teacher turned pharmacist in which the main character Walter was only trying to help people. Then imagine that staring you in the face was the entire plot of Breaking bad but it was in the subtext. That is what we had the privilege of watching this week. Well that a a huge pile of generic trash in which all the worlds...

Season 5 is somehow here folks!! I don't which ones of you keep asking for this or in that same vein which of you keep supporting terrible anime so that it constantly gets made but I am imploring you too stop! Ok please don't actually do that. Until the day all bad anime is removed from this earth we will be your vanguard slowly make our way through the slop to bring you only the finest commentary...

I do not believe that I could articulate how incredibly bad and fun our bonus anime, Record of Ragnarok, is. Oh wait, I literally do that in this episode. Pay me no mind, as my brain has become addled with bad anime syndrome and sometimes I lose my self in needlessly oversized boobs and perverted MC's. I think I may need help, but in the mean time I will try the old hair of the dog trick where I n...

The Rundown has commenced!! It is time to talk trash on all the....well trash. Does any anime avoid our or are they all equally guilty of being a blight on humanity? whispers they are all guilty! Nonetheless it is a whale of a time picking through each terrible plot and vile subplot so please take off your shoes and get comfortable.

Bottom of the 9th, down by 2 with 2 men on, two outs and a full count! The batter steps back into the box for what could be the final at bat of the season!! here is the wind up and the pitch!!! Wait a minute, it looks like last minute three benchwarmers jumped in to the box to try and hit the homerun!! Will any of them succeed? Will anyone truly care about this baseball analogy? One of those answe...

This is it! The moment you all have waited for!!! The entire season has culminated to this finale!!! And what will this finale reap you may ask!!! Well besides a champion and an end to this ridiculous season, and some absolutely absurd anime moments, not too much. To be honest though if you are asking for more than that you are a little greedy and I like the cut of your jib. We will do better ever...
