This week, the professors venture to shores unknown with one of summer's highlights: Hell's Paradise! Using common religions and myth as a backdrop for the narrative that is more than skin deep, it paints a world that's strikingly beautiful with complex characters to fill it with expert precision!

This week, the professors break down a show they once called a potential dark horse of the year: Dead Mount Death Play! Despite a wonderfully crafted first ep and an intriguing central premise, it ultimately bites off more than it can chew leading to some interesting narrative choices...

This week, the professors take to the high seas to dive into Dr. Stone New World! Even though it feels like the science is glossed over a bit, the trade off is more clues to the overarching mystery that drives the whole show forward...but is that trade really a good thing?

This week, the professors talk about the newest entry of shounen's current golden child: Demon Slayer!

This week, the professors jump back into the Clover Kingdom with Black Clover's first movie hot off the presses: Sword of the Wizard King! While the action is top notch and ideas interesting on paper, the story just falls short of making those ideas very compelling (even by shounen movie standards)...

HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY STUDENT! It's that time once again where the professionals speculate wildly about the upcoming summer season of anime to see which are the studs and which are the duds! With some returning faces really carrying the team on their back, there's also some serious trash that is bubbling up to the surface....

This week, the professors take y'all back to school with another installment of The History of Anime! While its origins of the medium showed what anime COULD be, this adolescent period laid the groundwork of what anime WILL become in terms of genres, culture, and worldwide presence!  History of Anime Pt.1 https://open.spotify.com/episode/5HCqz9IG3I9NhqkMSAmUr0?si=01470247dcc04b37 NEW SITE AND...

This week, the professors take a jaunt down romance avenue with one of its most quality entries in recent memory: Horimiya! By setting aside bombastic character profiles in favor of a more realistic perspective and nuanced writing, this anime stands as a testament to the genre without going left field weird (but still does sometimes anyway...)

This week, the professors are both back in the lab talking about one of the most wholesome entries in the game-centric fantasy scene: Bofuri!

This week, the professors experience an isekai world through, like, a fourth person perspective but love the show all the same: Uncle From Another World! By maximizing the comedy from the common isekai tropes, it acts as a proper satire to all those mid isekais that keep getting greenlit...   NEW SITE AND MERCH! https://www.weebology.com Socials Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/weebology​​  Instag...

This week, the professors show their hands about a show that got a lot of initial love but face plants anyway: High Card.

This week, the professors check back in with one of modern shounen's biggest series: My Hero Academia!

This week, the professors jump back into the world of space westerns to cover the reimagining of a widely revered classic: Trigun Stampede!

This week, the professors are graced with one of the most formative works in the space: Akira!  This 1988 film arguably put anime on the world stage and acts as the beginning for millions of journeys into the weebology world!  Socials Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/weebology​​  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weebology.podcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/WeebologyP​​ YT Channel: https://w...

Happy 200th episode, students! Today the professors dive really deep into the ideas behind 2022's anime of the year winner: Bocchi the Rock! Even with some amazing characters and bold visual take on some very universal human experiences, it still begs of question of whether this anime is worthy of such a title...

This week, the professors jump back into the Pokemon world to evaluate the next two installments: Spell of the Unown and 4Ever! Since these have less of a nostalgic impact on their youths, they get a real clowning when put unless the professorial lens...

This week, the professors do their duty and speculate wildly about the Spring 2023 season!

This week, the professors take some extra time to really process a show all about time that was newly freed from streaming jail: Summer Time Rendering! Even with tackling the daunting topic of time travel, this anime more than manages to carve its own identity in the subgenre with fantastic characters to boot!

This week, Professor Ricky is joined by long time lab friend and surrogate professor Cody to discuss the final season to one of our all time favorites: Mob Psycho 100! With S2 ending on such a strong narrative completion, another season almost felt unnecessary upon announcement...but boy were we wrong!   Socials Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/weebology​​  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wee...

This week, the professors check back in with the Forgers to talk about the second part of Spy X Family! While part one managed to capture lightning in a bottle with a novel take on the spy sitcom, can part 2 learn from the few shortcomings with the formula while also bringing something new to the table?
