A Sister's All You Need

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/10/25

We just needed a reason to do this show and the reason was that Audrey wasn't here to say no. So siscon shenanigans are abound in this week's episode as it's just Matt and Matt to talk about how Matt feels about A Sister's All You Need. Does it satisfy the little sister urge or do you actually need more than just a little sister?

Made in Abyss got a sequel movie. We watched Made in Abyss. We watched the sequel movie thusly. I'm in the middle of my journey of self introspection so this is your description for this one.

Random Anime Generator: Making An Anime With Just...

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/10/10

We're taking just three words that we get from a random word generator and trying to think up and make the hottest of seasonal anime with just those phrases! Why? Cause it felt like a good idea and we couldn't watch Dawn of the Deep Soul due to personal issues! Anyways, it's late and I'm tired. No long description this week.

ANIMISERY: Bikini Warriors

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/10/03

You would think that the shorter the anime then the quicker the suffering would be, right? Well, Bikini Warriors, an animated ad for a figure line that feels relentlessly bloated at 4 minute long per episode, would beg to differ and it is VERY good at begging. This started as a gag of a bet to watch on a previous episode and now it's here and no one is happy. We probably only really watched maybe two episodes of an anime all in all with Bikini Warriors but it's about the quality of time spent not

The Anime We Dropped

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/09/26

You can't finish everything that you start and anime is no exception. Maybe the anime is just too boring, maybe the anime looks just that bad, and sometimes maybe it's made by Studio Deen so it's both (this excludes Konosuba don't kill me)? We're going over all the anime we just couldn't finish in this episode, making bold declarations no one is ready for, criticizing each other for not finishing anime, and we even (inadvertently) brought on a special guest for this episode: my Google Nest that

Hi! How are you? That's great. I'm glad to hear that. So before we start, Ro also has a podcast called The One True Podcast and I was originally gonna say this was "feat. Ro of The One True Podcast and Storm" but that felt a little insulting to Storm so go check out The One True Podcast's links here before you even listen to this episode cause it's probably like two billion times better than our stuff but that's generally true of every podcast that collabs with us so... yeah!

Rebuild of Evangelion: You Can (Not) Review [Part...

2021/09/07

In honor of 3.0+1.0 taking extra long to release, we decided to do the same thing with this episode that talks about that very movie! It couldn't be because all of the Otaku Melancholy Team really just dropped the ball and messed up in multiple ways! We're totally visionaries like Anno because we're all depressed and we all hate our work and just want it to be over!

Rebuild of Evangelion: You Can (Not) Review [Part One]

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/08/29

The final Rebuild of Evangelion film finally decided to come out so we're gonna talk about the whole film series because we like Evangelion well enough. Some of us like it more than others but we think it's pretty cool and it's an anime that Audrey actually kind of wanted to watch so whatever gets her to watch something, you know? I have a wicked headache right now so I'm kind of at a loss for how to proceed with this. Did you know that an estimated 26% of people on this Earth have never experienced

Anime Burnouts and Buyouts

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/08/22

Yeah, I totally used you title idea, Audrey. As we watch more and more anime in quick succession (be it willingly or not) we realize that burnout is ever looming overhead as we press on into the anime abyss. What can we do to avoid it? Can we avoid it? In this episode we break down just what you can do to dodge the bullet to the head of your anime watching hobby by not watching anime! I mean, sometimes the poison is the cure? We break down just what we do to avoid burnout and the things that just

Summer 2021 Seasonal Anime Preview - Part Two

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/08/16

Summer keeps beating us down with more and more heat but does any of that heat actually carry into summer anime? Man, I don't know. I'm only half awake right now cause I just remembered that I needed to change the description from that placeholder one I had. There is some mild heat. It's like the oven's eyes are on 3. Yes, it could still burn you but you wouldn't get like BAD burns or 1st degree burns or whatever. Actually I don't know how burns work. I thought it worked like murders but it might

The summer is hot but the summer anime is even hotter! Yeah, not really. It's just a Matt and Amelia episode this week as they talk all about the first big chunk of seasonal anime in this episode including Remake Our Life,Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom X, How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, Night Head 2041, Aquatope on White Sand, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S, and Life Lessons with Uramichi Onii-san!

All Raws, No Subs: Hentai (and all related discussions)

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/07/25

We were actually in the same room together this week so of course we had to just go ahead and jump the actual anime podcast shark and talk hentai. Why? Because the only way an episode of this much importance could be recorded was if we were hanging out in the same room and our previous plan for this special episode would take too long and we're both impatient people. Enjoy this special one-of-a-kind episode as we discuss the triumphs, the tragedies, and obviously the tiddies that come with making

Spring 2021 Season Review

WOAH. This season came and went! Caught all of us off guard! ...or, well, maybe not you, but it caught us at the Otaku Melancholy Podcast off guard! ...okay, maybe not everyone, but it caught *someone* off guard! But I'll never tell who, you'll just have to guess, but you won't figure it out. Not in a million years!!! .........I really try my best, but it's hard sometimes. Life gets in the way, ya know?

Otaku Minicholy: A Year of Springs

2021/06/29

We're celebrating pride month the only way we know how! By reviewing an LGBTQ+ positive visual novel all about loving yourself and being good to other people! And also rehashing content. That's like what we do at this point, I think. We're talking all about A Year of Springs, a collection of three visual novels by NPCKC that include One Night, Hot Springs which we covered last year because we were very unsure of what to do to help celebrate pride month!

You know we have guests but have we ever had a guest who broke their foot shortly before record and STILL came on? No, we haven't. This has basically set the standard for all future guests on the show and we now require a two broken bone minimum to be on (this is a joke please don't hurt yourself we love you). We recently got to sit down and talk with Natalie London and Taylor Plecity of the LGBTQ duo Hey, King! and talk anime and growing up with anime and what gives us the energy to keep going. Did

ANIMISERY: Junji Ito Collection (feat. Otaku Host Club)

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/06/22

What do you do when you have some masterful example of manga with a mangaka who has talents almost insurmountable in artistic quality in vision? Why you make an anime adaptation that completely butchers his work and vision while bringing his name to shame! Studio Deen sure thinks that's the way to make an anime adaptation as we celebrate the last (functioning) week of June-ji Ito Month by reviewing Junji Ito Collection! With a pedigree of such high standards (and plus since Brad couldn't be in this

We're wrapping up our Junji Ito manga coverage (hint hint for what's coming next if you care, I guess) this week with the first of his works: Tomie! We're cut Tomie to pieces to find out what parts we like and what parts we don't and all the filler meat in between and we have some feelings. Are they good? Are they bad? I guess you'll have to listen in to find out in the episode itself. Wait. Did I do this bit already? It all blurs together. You know what doesn't blur together? Junji Ito's

Get your leaf village headbands and shuriken ready as we cover this Naruto spin-off, Uzumaki! I'm really looking forward into seeing how Junji Ito handles such a beloved character especially with his unique brand of horr- oh wait. I just checked the Wikipedia page and apparently this is not about ninjas and talking people to death. It's about scary spirals??? That's weird. Well, I guess we're spiraling into a special sort of madness with the next week of June-ji Ito month as we cover Uzumaki! One of

The puns keeping coming as we celebrate another venerable creator in the world of weebdom and that's Junji Ito in this month of June-ji Ito! I can hear you saying it now: "but Person Who Writes These Descriptions, it's not time for spooky at all!" and that's gonna be where you're wrong. It's always a good time for puns and that means it's time for spooky cause June-ji Ito Month is such a great pun and it would be fishy of us if we didn't celebrate.
