This week was part 2 of Terra... Yeah, that sums it up. It leaves you with a "What the hell?" type of feeling but not in a great way. They also changed a lot from the first season going from something more dark to a brighter more plot-driven season that focuses on some strong plot drugs, as we like to call it, and inconsistencies and it left you with more of a "what?" type of f...

This week Jack recalled Rick doing a hard pass on Kiki's Delivery Service from the pre-show discussions of episode 115 (available to patrons only) and so because of that it was chosen. It is a story of journey and growth for them as well as for Kiki. Jack also tries to help answer some questions that were had as well as explain that the movie was actually based on children's books, that al...

We survived another week with a show we actually did not care for. It was bad and for us did not really have a story except for the first episode or 2 and the last episode or 2. You also learn the background of a lot of characters only to have them killed off right after you learn their background. That was one thing they did really well, which killed a bunch of people right after giving you a bac...

This week for us was quite the show. Jack hated it and was filled with disappointment when he noticed it was 24 episodes and not 13 along with several other complaints. But Rick enjoyed it viewing it more positively and getting more enjoyment out of it than Jack. There were some questions or events that happened that caused some confusion or that didn't make sense but overall was enjoyable to...

This week was a good choice. It was worth a watch and for Jack, it was a re-watch. This is a movie that is certainly worth a couple of watches simply because of everything that you miss the first time that you watch it. The second time is much better. They also tell a new version of Little Red Riding Hood and it also plays a major theme throughout the movie. So give it a watch and tell us what you...

This week was a rough one to get through for us, especially for Jack. We did not like the main character and actually preferred the others to the MC. The better episodes were ones that didn't really deal with him at all. But it gets even better because Rick saw this one before and he disliked it so much that he actually did not even watch it all again and instead chose to read some cliff notes...

This week we talk about The shield Bro... Hero and it was one that was really enjoyable to both of us. It has drama, romance, betrayal everything. And it is done in a tasteful way. But for Rick, in this week's choice tries to talk more about the differences and what will happen after season 1, as well as other things that did not happen in the show and Jack, tries to reel him in to try and kee...

This week came as a recommendation via email from Facebook. It was one that we both saw before and it was well worth the re-visit. The one is great and it was deep in lore and story. And not just from 1 aspect but from several even referencing one of William Shakespeare's writing. It is not action-packed so if you are wanting only that this is not for you since it is a store-heavy anime. Still...

While this one was certainly an interesting one. It was also a little bland for us. The story was cookie cutter, the villain was just kinda there, and then there were some things that just didn't make sense to us. But regardless it was not awful just not good. But we did have some fun talking about it. We also talk about some recent feedback on episode 44 from Brian on what we missed. Thank yo...

Well, this week was certainly an interesting choice that much is for sure. There were a lot of flashing texts and honestly that was of the least liked things about it. The dialog was interesting there was some character development but they showed or referenced things that we wished were actually explored rather than just randomly showing it in some scenes. There is also a complex season that we t...

This week's choice was certainly interesting. It was not a pretty good movie with a solid ending but there were some problems with it and well.... we focused on those because they were pretty massive and we had some fun talking about them and even talked about making a shirt and that is exactly what we did! The movie though was good the animation was bad and had some "data" plot armo...

A continuation of a great series but rated slightly lower than the first season. This is because it left us with more questions and greater want for a season 3. Rick loved it while jack thought it was great but it left him wanting. It has some serious foundation building for the characters that lead to a great season 3. Next week's choice is a movie called Expelled From Paradise. Have you seen...

This week we watched a movie and for a change, the scenery and the music were good along with the voice actors. The story not so much as it left a lot of questions. But it was certainly comedic in some spots and we both really enjoyed talking about it much more so than watching it. So it is worth a watch if you have not seen it and need something different to watch. Next week's choice is a ser...

This week's choice was a great one for both of us and we spend a fair amount of time praising it for what we think is a great show. It is a comedy that has some really funny moments. It is a parody on the superhero genre and we feel it does pay some tribute to some other great action anime. But even with all that while it is the perfect show for Rick, Jack has some reservations about it and gi...

This was a nice change of pace for the shows and it was one that we both thought was good. The story was simple and easy to follow and fairly predictable but regardless, it was a good story and enjoyable. The characters are funny and unique and when they are introduced it is not rushed nor is the introduction forced but flows seamlessly in with the story. Next week's choice is a series called...

This episode marks 2 years of podcasting and what a journey it has been! And what better way to hit episode 104 of the Featured Anime Podcast than with a really bad (disaster movie bad) OVA that is originally based on a game? We had our differing viewpoints and but overall we laughed at this movie at how bad it was. It is comically bad that is. Next week is a series called Blend-S. Have you seen n...

This week's choice was certainly an interesting one. In that, it was confusing and odd. The animation style was odd and not something that we really cared for when it came to characters, the scenery was beautiful it certainly was one that took the majority of their budget. The voice actors were good the writing not so much. Would we watch it again? No, we would not. Was it worth the watch? No,...

This week was the second season of Log Horizon. And honestly, it was not that great, at least the second half was not great. The first half was really good and we both loved those 12 episodes. But to the credit of the creators, the second half did give some motivation and background to the character. But, it could also have been done in a fraction of the episodes and still get the point across. Ne...

This week was a great one for both of us. It was truly a great trip down memory lane for both of us. The character development was great. The story was simple yet complex and. The animation was clean and no real flaws that stood out to us, which is why we both gave it a 10. We could not be happier with the show and feel that it is worth a watch even if you are not into anime that much. Next week&#...

The choice for this week was a recommendation by Tobiyashi067 on Twitter! This was a good pick and we both thought that the show overall was tastefully done and that it had a good story that was easy to follow but also was entertaining with the fact that it didn't really waste time trying to do a whole lot of back story development. They let the store be the story which was refreshing. Next we...

This was a great movie and well worth the watch. So much so that Rick and Jack actually want to buy a physical copy of it. It is an original work that actually has novels based on it which is a nice change of pace. The character development is solid, a great story that pulls you in and the icing on top is the great soundtrack. So if you are looking for a movie that will tug on your heartstrings a...

What a great choice from Rick for the final October episode, definitely one that you need to what when you need a gory horror story with a few jump scares in there! It had good animation and solid storytelling. Next week will be the one 'Cats' in discord recommended, meaning that "Your Name" will start us off with the first episode of November. Next week's choice is a movie c...

This week was a choice by Jack and while it was labeled as a horror it is not really horror in a scary aspect but rather gruesome in how people were being killed. But even with that the background stories of most of the main characters are pretty messed up and sad. But when the series is all said and done it leaves one hell of an open ending and on top of that you look back at the pure ludicrousne...

This week's choice was given to us on Twitter by @Tobiyashi067. It was a good revisit for Jack and Rick thought it was pretty good too. Even with the open ending, it was still a good watch in prep for season 2 coming out in January 20212. That all being said, this show does not waste time hooking you and making you sit on the edge of your seat. It is also one of the few shows that show you the...

This week's choice was a good revisit for Jack and a good one that made Rick watch it twice. Following the main protag Mima and her journey through becoming a TV star from a Pop-Idol at least that is what you are lead to think at first, but then things take a twist with her manager Rumi pretending to be Mami and eventually thinking that she is Mami and killing everyone that is portraying her i...
