I'm so happy to be doing this review! This week I will be discussing Love Live Nijigasaki Final Chapter Part 1. A beautifully animated, cute and wholesome movie. Filled to the brim with good music. A true love letter to the fans. Songs mentioned: OVA opening: Rebirth - Feel Alive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EtEHaG77bs OVA insert: Go Our Way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6308RhQwzs Sh...

Imagine for a second, a sequel that redeems the original, that's The Idolm@ster: Shiny Colors Season 2. An actual well done ending for a change.

Balancing a Love Live episode last time, this week I will discuss The Idolm@ster Shiny Colors, way better than Million Live but not perfect Songs mentioned: Babel City Grace - L'Antica:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xijlX5QvO88 Yumesaki After School - Hokago ...

To finish a series I started last year, this week I will be discussing Love Live Superstar Season 3. Not the grand finale I expected for a mainline entry of the franchise.

This time, let's talk about a manga that carries with it a whole lot of style, aesthetic and remarkable storytelling, Black Lagoon. An ode to the 90's action movies and setting.

This week, I will talk about a manga that resonated with me in a personal leves, Helpful Fox Senko-san. The working/single/depressed person dream.

For this week, I will talk about something that has been rent free in my head for some time, Suicide Squad Isekai. A nightmare for my SEO and a pretty mid anime even though the studio is great and cast is awesome More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCnvX1s_ZycA Discord:  https://di...

Hello everyone! Happy new year! To start off with a bang I wanted to talk about what might as well be the top anime of the last few years if not the decade, Sousou no Frieren: Beyond journey's end. An absolute masterpiece in storytelling and character development. I hope you enjoy it!

First of all, thank you for everyone that listened/ watched the podcast this year, thanks for everyone who left a comment and interacted through Discord or some other social! Thank you for the amazing year! As the last episode of the year, I wanted to go through everything I covered this season and some events that shook the industry in 2024 as a time capsule of sorts. I hope you like it. See you...

A promising start, a successful anime adaptation and a really controversial ending. This week we will talk about Oshi no Ko. The darling series of the last two years that recently finished serialization with one of the endings of all time. I have a strong feeling my opinion does not conform to the general discourse around the ending and as such I would like to talk about it. Songs mentioned in the...

This week I will be talking about the second season of D4DJ, D4DJ All Mix. A strict improvement from the first season with better animation, more units, more songs and overall a really cute and wholesome style. If Bushiroad releases a new season of this, I'll be sure to enjoy it. Songs mentioned in the episode: D4DJ All Mix Opening - Maihime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmhZdlrJZNc&lis...

This week we will be discussing D4DJ, a somewhat niche "idol" anime focused on Eletronic music and slice of life antics, in contrast to your average idol story.

To finish reviewing all of Wake Up, Girls!, I will be talking about Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shou. Another example of why changing studios spells doom for most series, compounded with a general degradation of the animation and subpar 3DCG scenes. More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCn...

In this episode I will discuss the last movie entry of Wake Up, Girls!, Wake Up, Girls! Beyond the Bottom. The second arch high point of the Shadow of Youth arc. Has some nice improvements and nice moments but lacks in other areas More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCnvX1s_ZycA Di...

This time I will be talking about the next entry of Wake Up, Girls!, Wake Up, Girls! Seishun no Kage. A really well done movie and generally, a concise follow up to the happenings of the first season but it ultimately fails in its narrative due to the short duration More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www.youtube.com...

Following last episode, this time I will be discussing the first proper season of Wake Up, Girls! A generally ok idol anime but bearing some noticeable flaws.

This week I will be starting a little detour into one of the forgotten Idol series from 2014, Wake Up, Girls! A series with promise but a whole host of problems. Music slaps tho More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCnvX1s_ZycA Discord:  https://discord.gg/rSSc87AeJc Spotify: https:...

This week I break the mold a bit and instead of Idols we focus on Rock. This week I'll discuss Girls Band Cry, the best 3DCG anime I've ever watched. A series so full of passion and production value put into it that it defies description. I hope there's more in production, I'll be there to watch it.

Following last episode, this time I will be talking about the sequel of White Album, White Album 2, a story that pays homage to the original even including song and the context but ultimately fails in delivering the same quality of character development and thrilling narrative, More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www...

This week I will be discussing one lost gem from 2009, White Album. One of the best romance dramas I ever watched. With impeccable setting, really nice music and one of the most stacked voice cast in history for a single anime. Absolutely recommended despite the flaws More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www.youtube.c...
