PODCAST

Anime Against the World

Know anything about anime? Because Will certainly didn"t, until his anime-loving, best bud moved his butt all the way from the UK to Japan! As a way to keep in touch, our hosts decided to set up a podcast! What"s the theme you ask? Well, originally it was all about teaching the novice Will all about anime, and there is a substantial back log of episodes focussed on just this for you to enjoy! This was also under the name Gateway to the Aniverse, so you may come across that title from time to time..

Record of Ragnarok: Ragna-Rock-and-Roll, am I right?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/08/03

Player 1, Ready! Player 2, Ready! Fight! (but very, very slowly... and throw a tonne of exposition in the middle to drag it out a bit.) This week, our boys get real excited and somewhat disappointed at the Netflix original, Record of Ragnarok. This mythology themed tournament styled anime has an interesting premise as historical figures from across the world are pitted against gods in a fight to defend humanity from extinction. It's space jam but without Michael Jordan... Hosted on Acast. See

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Teaching Dragon Pilot...

2021/07/23

You know that one dream everyone has, about the deadly dragon that transforms into a sexy house maid and tries to seduce you while you drink beers on the sofa? No? Ah... Must just be Sam then... This week we pick apart Miss Kobayashi's dragon maid, the somewhat humorous, sometimes outrageous slice of life fantasy anime that brings a new meaning the the phrase "get some tail" . With some brilliant animation, some strong jokes and some inappropriate molestation, can this show fly its

Demon Slayer: Since when is smelling a super power?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/07/20

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a Demon of a show! The 40th episode of this podcast demanded a big hitter and we feel like we've lived up to that with the one and only Demon Slayer! We cover everything from the eating habits of demons to the punishments of anime art departments. We discuss as much as possible but wholly admit that we've probably missed a lot of talking points due to our incessant meandering! By the end, we make a decision as to whether another demon show has what it takes

Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale... Oh good, Kayaba's...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/07/13

This week we revisit one of the all time greats in Sword art Online - this time, to discuss the Movie: Ordinal Scale! This time we unpick this AI Kirito party and relive the greatest hits such as: 'Asuna gets sidelined', and 'Fucking Kayaba!?'. With more gaps in the plot than in Asuna's memory, we bounce around, covering everything from incorrectly named Spiderman movies to Pokemon go, and poke fun at the wonders of the SAO universe that never cease to amaze.

The Devil is a Part-Timer, a noncommittal,...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/07/06

This week is an absolute whopper! And would you like fries with that?... This episode looks at the first three episodes of the brilliantly comical 'The Devil is a Part-Timer', during which our hosts honestly, tangent like never before: They slip into horrific attempts at Irish accents; they create a whole new spin off series based on a dismembered umbrella, and worst of all... they disrespect McRonalds... Listen to see if, in their pathetic opinion, they still deem this show worthy of the

Prince of Stride: Isn't this just a discount Haikyu!!?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/06/29

Have you ever been interested in running really fast? Have you ever been interested in cartoons running really fast? then this show might be for you? If you also like made up sports based on dating games. This week we explore the wonderfully niche, Prince of Stride: Alternative. We manage to bounce from The Fast and the Furious to Ice hockey and spend a (probably not so surprisingly) long time discussing Haikyu!! This is a sports anime, and as such it should tick all of Will's boxes, but does

Devilman Crybaby: a demon coming out party!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/06/22

This week we jump down the rabbit hole into the world of demons as we explore Devilman Crybaby, a psychedelic rollercoaster of transforming monsters pent on causing as much havoc on humanity as possible. Our hosts try to cover everything this show has to offer, from its unique animation styles to its fast paced story telling, and try to make sense of it all. Will gets confused with languages and Sam has to explain the socio-economic structure of Japan as they decide whether this show is suitable for

Attack On Titan, season 1 - Re:visited!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/06/15

This week we revisit one our original three episodes in Attack on Titan! Having now watched the entire first season, the boys get together to pick apart their favourite moments, reminiscing about their favourite fight scenes and how Levi has missed his calling as a professional ice dancer. They discuss everything from Michael Jackson to Sean Bean and everything in between! This titan of a show clearly hits a chord with the fandom and it's brilliant to see a noob experience it for the first

Ouran High School Host Club: Progressive or...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/06/08

This week we explore the very strange and apparently very real world of Host Clubs! Sam teaches us about how these host clubs operate out in Japan (while absolutely not speaking from personal experience *cough, cough*) as well as a run down of what actually is anime? We discuss how this show attempts to introduce some progressive themes and whether it does enough to overcome its shortcomings and earn a place in the Aniverse. From monozygotic incest to tea cup arrousal, this show is definitely

Eden of the East: Terrorists, memory loss and...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/06/01

This week we explore Perry's recommendation in Eden of the East and see if it has what it takes to secure a place in the Aniverse! Technical mishaps make audio quality very questionable this week but it does not take away from the discussion! From terrorists to penis jokes, this show has a lot to talk about and we had a lot of fun discussing everything, including the surprisingly bad OP, the surprisingly good ED and how planning ahead is a must when trying to escape an all-powerful organisation

Is this a Zombie? With Special Guest Perry A.K.A...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/05/25

This week we have a very special guest in the shape of a cloud! Not only has good friend of the show Perry, a.k.a. Cloudrenaline, graced us with his presence but he has brought a gift in the form of a beautiful, dynamic, truck-hitting-zombie of a show for us to discuss! This week we cover everything from the protagonist chair and Naruto logs to psychologist vampires and harem magical girls. See if 'Is This a Zombie?' has what it takes to get into the Aniverse!

Inuyashiki: When you just can't look away...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/05/18

This incredibly intense show contains some very hard to watch scenes that everyone should be warned of before watching! However, if you have seen this show already, boy are you probably going to want to talk about it! On the one hand, this show has everything you could want for sci-fi fans, including aliens and cyborgs and the classic battle of good vs evil. On the flip side, it has the very real and terrifying elements of psychopathy, terminal illness and loneliness. jaw dropping scenes, confusing

Vinland Saga: Are viking shows still exciting?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/05/11

This has to be one of our favourite episodes! Not only do we both agree on the quality of this show, but the gushing that flows this week is unprecedented! Stay tuned for us to suck up to the animation, glorify the character designs and put the plot on a pedestal! From fantastic fight scenes to meaningful character development, there's no question of this getting in the Aniverse, but do you agree? Who dares question the mighty Thors, as we explore Vinland saga on this week's episode of

Log Horizon: Is this the best isekai so far?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/05/04

This week we look an another bloody isekai! and guess what? They're in an online MMO and can't get out! If you're getting deja vu, don't panic - we've been here before. Both Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash AND Sword Art Online failed to get into the Aniverse based on the rules our hosts have set, but can Log Horizon break the trend? From giant rats to giant prats, Will and Sam try with extreme difficulty to make up their mind on this week's contender for Gateway to the

Highschool of the Dead, the dying and the sketchy etchy!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/04/27

This show warrants a double clicking of the 'contains explicit material' box! The sketchy etchy is unbelievably strong with this week's show and the blood and gore isn't far behind. You have been warned! If that hasn't scared you off, get ready for this week's episode as we explore the horror-trope filled, sexy world of Zombies, in High School of the Dead. Hosted on Acast.

Dragon Pilot: How the hell do these things work!?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/04/20

What a concept, I can't believe this hasn't been turned into a Hollywood blockbuster yet! Dragons that turn into fighter planes - What could be better than that? Well, lots of things I imagine, but it's an intriguing preposition! This week our boys discuss everything from the history of the Japanese defence force to the exciting world of Yoghurt-selling old women... It's an enthralling journey into a world of discombobulation, but will it do enough to get into the Aniverse?

2021/04/13

Finally Will gets to experience the beautiful, the iconic Haikyu! and Sam gets to ogle his gorgeous volleyball boys! WARNING: there is a lot of gushing this week, from the banger of an OP to the animation, our hosts have a lot of positives to say about this show, but does it do enough to get into the Aniverse? Well, probably, yes. But! As always, there's good chat, some laughs and some revelations in this week's episode of Gateway to the Aniverse! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

Shaman King: With Special Guest Oli 'TheOrionSound'

2021/04/03

This week we triangulate our discussion with the help of our special guest, Oli, A.K.A. TheOrionSound! Not only did this Youtube star generously donate his time for our humble little podcast, he also sacrificed his all time favourite anime for us to pick apart on the show! This episode we jump into a world of grumpy samurai ghosts, strawberry ice cream and creepy museums. Dress this up with huge trouser cuffs, unbuttoned shirts and John Travolta hair dos and you're left with the early 2000s

Haven't battle royales and last man standing arcs been done to the death? Is there anything that's actually going to surprise us? Is a woman with the powers of a chicken really capable of defeating a poison spitting wolf man? These are the hard hitting questions we discuss this week as we enter an arena that comes so far out of left field even the ox has whiplash! From Zombie boars to poultry whores, our hosts have a lot of fun with this one as they decide whether Juni Taisen has what it

Little Witch Academia: Potterparallels x1000

Anime Against the World ·

2021/03/20

Ahh magical schools, forbidden forests, fantastic beasts and an underlying theme of prejudice... No it's not Harry Potter - although it might as well be! This week Will feels right at home discussing the ins and outs of this Hogwarts knock off otherwise known as Little Witch Academia. Does this show and all of its "Potterparallels" (Patent pending) do enough to work its way into the fabulous Aniverse? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
