This week we talk about Tokyo Revengers season 1 and the story had some solid points to it, but it also had some draw backs, but it also had an interesting viewpoint on time travel as well as what is affected by it and in what way. In a way it is like it is a combination of a couple of different ideas that have already been explored.   The selection for next week is "Tokyo Revengers Season 2&...

 This week was a solid choice, and it was one that certainly took you out of the norm for healing magic and gives it a fresh new look in a positive way. While the main character is not meant to be the hero of the story Usato is certainly the hero for a majority of people. The story as a whole is solid with great character development and comedic dialog to help break those serious scenes up. This o...

 We take a moment this week with a change of pace and watch something a little more mellow. It was an enjoyable one that Rick had no issues with watching in public. Overall the story main characters were well rounded and written in a way that made them enjoyable. Fel was an enjoyable comedic relief that was not done in the usual way making it all the better. This one is for sure is one that is wel...

 Story time this week was all about some ghosts. More specifically it was about an anime called Ghost Stories. Specifically the dub version. It is something considered to be a dark comedy where they make fun of and offend every group and demographic. This is not a show for those who get easily offended and it can be fun to watch for some. With outlandish dialog through the series this is certainly...

We continue our journey into the Horizon. Sadly, though for us it is just a repeat of what happened last time. The story was a repeat of what it was before and just more drawn out. Though it may be that way by design it may not be something that is for everyone. In general, we thought that if we watched it with a longer time in-between the 2 seasons that we would have viewed it better but also at...

This week, we’re chatting about a show a fan suggested. At first, we weren’t sure if the story would go anywhere. There were bits that made us go ‘huh?’ and some stuff just didn’t get wrapped up. The show kept throwing these ‘gotcha’ moments at us. And they really loved showing off the ‘PLOT’ a lot, which kinda took away from the whole thing. But even with that it was still kind of a fun ride.    ...

This week we talk about Solo Leveling an anime that both Jack and Rick were looking forward to with them being fans of the source material, they were pleased to see the justice that was done on the show. There were several points where they got lost in the details but then since that is nothing new and over all they loved the series and are excited for more seasons to hopefully come soon.   The se...

Season 2 of "The Demon Girl Next Door" really stepped up the game compared to the first season. It's packed with more laughs, and the addition of new characters really spices things up. Plus, it ties up loose ends from season 1 by providing much-needed answers. Definitely, a must-watch in our opinion.   The selection for next week is "Solo Leveling". Have you had the chance...

This week’s anime pick, a delightful recommendation from our community, proved to be a charming narrative. With its straightforward plot, devoid of complex twists, the series offers a blend of endearing moments and occasional cringe-worthy scenes. Its light-hearted depth makes it an ideal choice for viewers seeking an uncomplicated yet engaging anime experience.   The selection for next week is &q...

In this week’s episode, Rick brings us a series that’s all about combat with a twist. The Twist? It’s fought with their "Assets". The plot is thin, centered on sheer absurdity. Jack teases Rick, highlighting the series’ many weaknesses, while Rick counters by spotlighting its strengths.   The selection for next week is "The Demon Girl Next Door" Season 1. Have you had the chanc...

This week's topic is Chainsaw Man, an incredibly wild and adventurous story. The show boasts fantastic animation and a captivating plot, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. We can't help but crave more of this thrilling series.   The selection for next week is "Keijo". Have you had the chance to watch it or any of the previous choices? We would love to hear your thoughts and opinio...

This week's focus is on Backstories. With each episode featuring a backstory and minimal character development, making this anime is one for the books, in a bad way. In our opinion, it is one of the worst anime we have seen in a long time, almost as bad as Glasslip. Some characters even had us questioning why they were still present. In our opinion, this show is not worth watching, but if you...

This week's topic is High-Rise Invasion, an intriguing take on the isekai genre set in a modern-day environment rather than a medieval one. While the story showed potential, it fell short in some aspects, leaving the us with numerous unanswered questions and while at the same time giving us unnecessary fanfare. By the end of the series, it seemed as though the creators were pushing for a secon...

This weeks choice takes a different view of the Iseki genre. And it is not a bad thing for it as well. In fact the story for this one is sold and they do not shy away from the harder aspects of the entertainment industry and the choices that our main characters have to select. It keeps it feet planted on the ground in our version of reality as well. In that there is no magic or monster's (in t...

This week we have a very special guest from Anime Anonymous CJ! He joins both Jack and Rick as they talk about the movie giving a different view on it while also providing some clarification on some things. The conversation that they all have is solid with views and opinions on it being different on interpretations of key aspects of the movie. Overall though the movie was good, and it is worth the...

We get all flipped around in this week's choice as we talk about a movie that literally has people and items being inverted. With a story like there they do a good job of leading you to a way of understanding the differences in between the 2 groups and also really play to how some people truly are and is that focus on people being afraid of the unknown with those who follow them and with those...

This week we talk about Wolf's Rain a solid choice to be sure but unless you watch the 4 OVAs (which are actually episodes) you will not get a conclusion to the series. Regardless you are given a solid story with some character growth, and it is one that is well worth a watch at least once.   Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous...

Rick is back! And we talk about a lighthearted anime that left is feeling empty inside with such an open ending and nothing, but plot armor can help us. Much like this anime the level of plot in it is another lever. It seems like not matter what happens or what the main character does they always come out on top.   Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain. Have you seen next week's choice or...

This week Jak talks about the Starship Troopers not to be confused with the movie. This anime came out in 1988 holds truer to the Book then the Live Action movie did. This Anime was poorly done one where the characters were dry. The Character development was poor, and it takes several episodes to build up to a climax that ultimately never comes. This honestly is a show that should be avoided in Ja...

This week's choice is about 2 teenagers growing up and struggling with their self-image or social anxieties. Things a lot of people still struggle with even as adults making is easily relatable. The animation is bright and vibrant, so it does not really fall into an art style that Jack cared for and he felt that it really detracted from the movie itself. This was a movie that had great potential,...

It's just Jack this week as Rick was unable to join in. The choice for this week was not a great a one but also not a bad one. The character development was poor, and the story was lacking. The artwork for it was solid and the music was good for when it was there. But that is all that it really had going for it. If you are just getting into the BL genre this would not be one to watch for the f...

This week we talk about a carnival of stories. Each one is unique and interesting and showcases an artis style and their own story. But how Jack and Rick felt were on opposite ends with how they viewed it as a whole. While Rick liked each story and art style, and it was new and interesting for him. For Jack, it was not like that. The art styles he saw were ones he was previously introduced to and...

Appleseed is a classic anime that did not age well. The story was not done well, the dialog made no sense and there was so much plot armor that not even with all the sentence enhancers that they added can save it. Honestly, this is one that we feel that you can pass by.   Next week's choice is Robot Carnival. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones? Let us know what yo...

This week's choice was basically a big ol' recap of last week's. The move did add some more clarification and I did provide you with useful information but a large chunk of it was just a recap. The best parts were the resolution of the protag after the events of the series and what the current state of the world. Other than that It would have been a fraction of the time.   Next week&#3...

This week we talk about a short story that hits all the notes for us. It has solid character growth and the animation and art for this were top-notch for us. There were a couple of things that were a put off for it but overall it was not so glaring that it dragged the series down. This one is definitely worth the watch.   Next week's choice is Planetarian The Movie. Have you seen next week&#39...
