New To Weeaboo

Time for episode 175! We watched Sasameki Koto, or Whispered Words. And in contrast to the last episode, this girl is generally competent, but is unable to catch the attention of her best friend who she's in love with. Such is life. Unfortunately, it isn't currently available on any streaming services. "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativeco...

Episode 174 is here! And it's June again, which means pride time! And we start with There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless... And that's a mouthful, so most people call it Watanare. Anyway, it follows failgirl Renako as she somehow catches the attention of multiple girls. And it's mostly fun. Check it out on YouTube ! Content Warning: this anime has a scene depicting an attempted sexua...

Welcome to episode 173! We finally talk about an anime that's been in the docket for years, Akiba Maid War! And what a strange and fun anime. Maids being gangs in the criminal underworld. And all the drama (plus blood and violence , as a warning) that comes with it. Check it out on Hidive !

Time for episode 172! In it, we talk about the final episode of My Hero Academia, More! Yes, that's the name. And it's... well... it's something. We also talked about the series as whole, the ups and downs. Check out the epilogue on  Crunchyroll !

Episode 171 is here! And yet another season comes with it! It's time for some Spring anime. Some interesting and varied anime this around, too. A villainess isekai! A chicken who fights demons? A captured princess knight and barbarians! Plus some witches! Check them out! An Observation Log of My Fiancee Who Calls Herself The Villainess Rooster Fighter The Warrior Princess and The Barbaric King Wit...

Welcome to episode 170! We returned to the My Hero Academia spinoff, Vigilantes! Season 2 is not quite as good as season 1. For a variety of reasons. Including, weirdly enough, a sidelining of its protagonists. Check it out on  Crunchyroll . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Time for episode 169! We returned to the beautiful, and somewhat melancholic world of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, by watching season 2! And it largely delivers what the first season did. Although, it doesn't quite hit the same highs. Check it out on  Crunchyroll . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Episode 168 is here! Once again, SPY x FAMILY is discussed! This time season 3! Which brings with it three major story arcs, and more! All this while effectively balancing comedy with more sober moments. Check it out on  Crunchyroll ! "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Welcome to episode 167! We return to the world of spies and assassins with SPYxFAMILY season 2, plus the Code: White movie! It's largely more of what we loved in season 1, but taken up a notch. Especially with the cruise arc. You can check them out on Crunchyroll:  Season 2 and Code: White . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/l...

Time for episode 166! It's now the year of the horse, which means more Uma Musume! Specifically, part 2 of Cinderella Gray's first season. The adventures of Oguri Cap continue, with her ongoing rivalry with Tamamo Cross and some new opponents. Check it out on  Amazon Prime . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Episode 165 is here! And it's time to sample some new anime! Specifically, Winter 2026 anime. We somehow avoided all the isekai, yet 3 of them are still fantasy. But, we also got some solid picks this time around. Check them out: The Holy Grail of Eris Journal with Witch Sentenced to Be a Hero ROLL OVER AND DIE "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://c...

Welcome to episode 164! We return to a favorite of ours, Zombie Land Saga! The movie Yumeginga Paradise just released (in a special one night event), and we watched it. So open spoilers. And we have to say, if you're a fan of ZLS, you'll probably love this movie. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to watch it. "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( http...

Time for episode 162! It's 2026, and we're kicking things off with the end of My Hero Academia! Well, the final season anyway. Apparently there's gonna be an epilogue. But, did the final season stick the landing? Eh... It definitely has a lot of good points. But some not-so-good. You can check for yourself on  Crunchyroll . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4....

Episode 162 is here! The last episode of 2025. And we close out the year with City The Animation! A wonderfully animated slice of life with a goofy sense of humor. And it works so well. Check it out on  Amazon Prime . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Welcome to episode 161! An old favorite returned recently, with New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt! And it's interesting how much it changed, and yet remained the same. You'll understand if you watch. Which you can do on  Amazon Prime . I guess.

Time for episode 160! In this episode, we revisit an anime from Summer 2025, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show. Why? Because it has a lot of interesting things going on, even if manages to produce just as many misses as hits. Check it out on Crunchyroll ! Content Warning: This anime features plot points regarding child abuse, existential dread, and blood. These are discussed in the podcast. "...

Episode 159 is here! And a new season has begun, which means new anime! So once again, we grabbed 4 at random and watched the first 3 episodes of each. And 3 of the picks are kind of... meh. The 4th is interesting but might be upsetting to some. Isekai! Romance! Beastfolk! Yokai! Check them out if you want. With You, Our Love Will Make It Through Dad is a hero, Mom is a spirit, I'm a reincarnator...

Welcome to episode 158! We suddenly remembered it's October, so time for some "horror." But it's kinda... bad. And it's called Calamity of a Zombie Girl. So if you like watching bad media, you might want to check it out. Possibly on  Crunchyroll . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ ) Content Warning: This anime...

Time for episode 157! And it's a doozy. We watched Chargeman Ken. An anime often considered one of the worst of all time. And it's really hard to argue against that. Almost everything that could go wrong does go wrong. You can check it out (if you really want to) on  Crunchyroll . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/...

Episode 156 is here! And once more into horse world, with Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray! The recent spinoff starring Oguri Cap. Yes, the background joke character. And it arguably surpasses all the other Uma Musume anime. Check it out on  YouTube !

Welcome to episode 155! And yep, it's more Umamusume. This time the two OVAs (BNW no Chikai and Road to the Top) and the movie, Beginning of a New Era. The first OVA is essentially an epilogue to the first season of Pretty Derby, being about Biwa Hayahide, Narita Taishin, and Winning Ticket. The second is a prequel to the movie, chronicling Narita Top Road, Admire Vega, and TM Opera O. The movie i...

Time for episode 154! We returned to Umamusume: Pretty Derby, to finish what we started by watching season 3. Good timing, considering the franchise recently exploded in popularity. This season focuses on Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond. It's also bit weaker than the previous seasons. Check it out on Crunchyroll ! "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https...

Episode 153 is here! Once again, we're back in the world of My Hero Academia! But this time, it's the spinoff, Vigilantes! It does a lot of great things to differentiate itself from the main series. But it also makes a few missteps. Check it out on  Crunchyroll . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Welcome to episode 152! A new season of anime is once again upon us, and we took a quick look at 4 of them. Cosmic horror with gay undertones! Fantasy with time travel! Horror with gay undertones! Again! And a yuri harem! Wild how that worked out. You can check them out yourself: Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show New Saga The Summer Hikaru Died There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unle...

Time for episode 151! In it, we talk about the spring 2025 anime, Rock is a Lady's Modesty! We previously talked a bit about its first 3 episodes, but now we've finished it. And we're glad we did, because it was a genuinely fun time watching it. Weird BDSM imagery and all. Check it out on Hidive !
