Welcome to episode 49! In this episode we wind up talking about Strawberry Panic! A romance anime at an Catholic all-girls school. Lots of characters, all tangled in a love dodecahedron.

Time for episode 48! In this one, we talk about ice skating. And romance! Yuri!!! on ICE covers both of those. And does so pretty well. We finally discover what people were raving about 5 years ago.

Content Warning: The anime we discuss in this episode deals with topics such as suicide and depression. Episode 47 is here! In it, we talk about an anime from 15 years ago, Welcome to the N.H.K.! It's a bit deceptive, leads you into thinking it's one thing before becoming something far deeper. Check it out on Crunchyroll .

Salutations! Welcome to episode 46. We're once again sampling some new anime for the season. There's an MMO adaptation, time travel, a creepy "romance," and some soccer. So at least there was variety.

Episode 45 is here! Something different from the usual, we watched Interstella 5555. Which is essentially a long music video for Daft Punk's album, Discovery. Still, there is something to talk about!

Time for episode 44! In this one, we go back to the world of Bubblegum Crisis! Specifically, by watching A.D. Police Files and Bubblegum Crash. One of them kinda... tries and fails, the other finally gives some needed backstory. Check them out on RetroCrush: https://www.retrocrush.tv/series/004911s/a.d.-police-files https://www.retrocrush.tv/series/003875s/bubblegum-crash "Dimension" and "Place on...

Welcome to episode 43! And we're continuing the Madoka talk with Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story. It's a spinoff of Madoka Magica, and it has its share of fans... and detractors. It was also based on a gacha game. That's no longer available in North America. Check it out on Crunchyroll or Funimation . "Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https:/...

Episode 42 is here! And we're looking at another classic anime, Puella Magi Madoka Magica! There's a lot to talk about. So much that this is our longest episode so far. Tragedy, misdirection, animation, and more. And of course, we also talked about Rebellion. Beware of a lot of mispronunciation. You can watch Madoka Magica on Crunchyroll , Funimation , Netflix , Hulu , and probably elsewhere. As f...

Hey everyone, it's time for episode 41! This time around, we go back to the late 80s, so that we can go to the far off future of 2033. It's Bubblegum Crisis! The original series. A cyberpunk future in which robots with very funny names are the main enemy. Check it out on RetroCrush .

Welcome to episode 40! Considering Valentine's Day is right around the corner, we figured we'd take a look at rom-com. And we chose MY love STORY!! Nemesis and Alca7raz had a fun time with this one, mostly because of the improbably large Takeo. Check it out on Crunchyroll ! "Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Episode 39 has arrived! A new season of anime has begun, so Nemesis and Alca7raz take a look at 4 random choices. And this time around, our random choices were kind of... weak. There's figure skating, angels, gamers, and bad cg to watch. The anime this season were Skate-Leading Stars , Heaven's Design Team , Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki , and Scar On The Praeter . "Dimension" and "Place on Fire"...

Episode 38 is here! In it, Nemesis and Alca7raz make another trip into idol hell. Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is the third Love Live anime, and it changes things up a bit. Like a completely different animation studio, for one! Oh and the fact that they're not a single group but 9 separate solo idols. Well. Check it out on Crunchyroll . "Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are li...

Time for episode 37! Nemesis and Alca7raz look at a 15 year old somewhat obscure anime, Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl. Why this? Because it's special to Nemesis. Got the ball rolling on her figuring things out. Oh, it's also a yuri rom-com. With space aliens! If you want to watch it... RetroCrush has added it to their library ! "Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( h...

Welcome to episode 36! Nemesis and Alca7raz took a look at Yuru Camp. It's a feel-good fun time. With a lot of great characters to boot. So grab a blanket and check it out on Crunchyroll (also check out the side series Room Camp ).

Time for episode 35! This time it's the fairly recent "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!" That's a mouthful. Which is probably why it's often shortened to HameFura. Anyway, it's a reverse harem isekai. And it's quite endearing! Catch it on Crunchyroll .

Welcome to episode 34! In this one, Nemesis and Alca7raz talk about Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. As many know, it's a crude sex comedy that is now 10 years old. And while it's often funny, there are definitely some bits which haven't aged well (and to be honest, weren't great to begin with). You can check it out on Funimation . "Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY...

Episode 33 has arrived! Nemesis and Alca7raz once again take a look at four random anime from the new season. Quite the variety going on here. A heist, a crush, rap battles, and rock wall climbing. Some are good, some are okay, and some are just weird. The anime watched were Akudama Drive , Adachi and Shimamura , Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle - Rhyme Anima , and Iwakakeru - Sport Climbing Girl...

Episode 32 is here! This time around, Nemesis and Alca7raz talk about School-Live!, aka Gakkou Gurashi. One should probably go into it as blind as possible, but just know things definitely aren't as they seem... Check it out on Crunchyroll .

Welcome to episode 31! Nemesis and Alca7raz found an old horror anime called Lily C.A.T. to watch. Something about the movie feels kind of familiar... Actually a lot of things about it do. Almost as if it's very similar to another movie. Check it out on RetroCrush . "Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Time for episode 30! Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is what Nemesis and Alca7raz are talking about this time. There's a lot to like about it. But... there's some parts that are kinda... well, gross. They get into all of that. Check it out on Crunchyroll . "Dimension" by Creo and "Zephyr's Flight" by Michett are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )

Episode 29 is here! Nemesis and Alca7raz go way, way back in the past in this one. It's actually the oldest anime we've covered so far. Namely, the original Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979. Kind of. They actually watched the 3 compilation movies that were made in the early 80s. And in many ways, they definitely show their age. Check them out on YouTube . "Dimension" and "Place on Fire" by Creo are li...

Welcome to episode 28! In this, Nemesis and Alca7raz take a look at Hinamatsuri, an anime that came out a couple of years ago. Honestly, it's a pretty fun time, and now they both want to check out the manga. How about that. Check it out on Crunchyroll .

Episode 27, coming in hot! In this one, Nemesis and Alca7raz once again pick 4 random anime from the new season. And those picks sure were... something. And one of them apparently has developed quite the discourse around it (that we were unaware of)! The summer 2020 anime picked were Rent-a-Girlfriend , Monster Girl Doctor , Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! , and Lapis: ReLiGHTs . "Dimension" and "Pl...

Time for episode 26! Nemesis and Alca7raz return to the world of school idols, with a look at Love Live! Sunshine. A new school, a new group, and the same fun. But possibly a bit refined.
