As I have mentioned multiple times, Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) is one of my favourite anime of all time and since I have not looked at the show for a while on the podcast, I thought that it would be nice to take a break from our arc analyses and look closely at one of my favourite episodes in the medium, NGE Episode 9. In this episode I explore the idea of 'maturity', the hedgehog's dilemma's role in this part of the narrative and more. On the side, I contemplate as to whether I should watch

There’s been a lot of discussion about sakuga and animation in the anime community at the moment, so in this episode I am deciding to tackle the topic. How has the medium evolved from a technical standpoint to get to where we are today? What exactly are ‘sakuga animations’? What pieces of anime stand out in the scene in terms of how they’re animated? These are all topics which will be dissected and analysed in this episode. On the side I talk about yet another borderline-H manga I’ve been reading

Since I've milked out all the analysis possible from Attack On Titan's Return to Shiganshina Arc, I think it is only fair to look at the arc(s) that got us there in the first place. That means that we have to travel back to Trost, the location of the first battle in 'modern day'. In this episode, I will be taking a dive into the main debate that the arc plays with, rationality versus instinctual behaviour. I will also discuss where the arc excels from a technical standpoint and my overall feeling

GITM 23: Anime Lessons for the Year | An Analysis

The year (and the decade) of anime has concluded and although I did a more in depth analysis of the decade as a whole, I didn't really do a personal look through what I've learnt and how I felt within that. So in this episode, I will be taking a personal look at what I have taken from the anime I have watched recently. On the side, I talk about my alternative tie-hen experience and Hideo Kojima.

The 2010’s are coming to a close, so it is the perfect time to do an analysis of my highlights across the years 2010-2019. From beautiful tales of life to wacky, trend-setting isekai, in this episode I take a ride through what stood out to me this decade and what the future for anime looks like in the 2020’s and beyond. Anime Discussed: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Bakemonogatari, The Future Diary, AnoHana, Steins;Gate, Daily Life of High School Boys, Mysterious Girlfriend X, Sword Art

As 2019 is coming to a close, I thought it would be appropriate to take a journey through some of my favourite openings from this year in anime. In this episode, I take a step back from deep analysis and flick through some of my favourites, what makes them stand out and how the audio and visual components work together in order to form such lovely pieces. On the side, I talk a bit about The Golden Age Arc of the Berserk manga and my recent obsession with TK from Ling Tosite Sigure. Anime

Promare has been rolling out more and more throughout the west and I finally got the chance to see it, which means I can now do a bit of analysis! Without any spoilers, I will be taking a look at this action-packed original movie made by Studio Trigger. In this episode I'll be diving into the context behind Promare and Studio Trigger, the 'out of the box' narrative styles of Hiroyuki Imaishi & Kazuki Nakashima and whether the film 'lacks substance' on a thematic level.

The Action Arc welcomes Asuka Langley to the team, making her the Third Child to pilot the Eva units. Her presence is definitely not one that can go unnoticed, being the overbearing, boisterous she is. As a result, the entire dynamic between the characters is reworked and now waiting to be explored. In this episode, I will be taking a dive into Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) for a second time, looking into how the dynamic changes between the characters in this arc, Asuka's behaviour, the slow

As Episode 2 proved, I am not particularly a big fan of the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime adaptation... which I have decided to make myself suffer even more with an analysis and review of the 2nd Season. However, in this episode, I will make a greater attempt to pick up on the parts that I liked in regards to narrative and music. This session I will be doing a general analysis of the 2nd Season of Tokyo Ghoul:re, how the narrative remains 'Kaneki-centric' and whether the show has a solid conclusion. On

Attack On Titan's Return to Shiganshina Arc makes yet another appearance on the podcast! This is an arc analysis to end all arc analyses of this arc in the anime / manga, so I will be doing a general overview, looking at the parts of the show that I did not cover in Episode 5 and Episode 12. In this episode, I will be taking a look at how Isayama's writing on a structural level is particularly important in this part of the narrative, the variety of layers & dimensions that the arc has to offer

The third installment in my Blue Exorcist Analysis is here! We have now left the Kyoto Saga arc and now a new problem has come into the forefront, but this time within True Cross Academy. The balance between good and bad will be evaluated, alongside the conflicting positions of Assaih and Gehenna. In this episode, I will be taking a look at the 'Grey Area' that Mephisto refers to, the transitions between multiple arcs and more. For show notes and more visit getinthemecha.home.blog.

Dark Days: The Casting is the second and final part of the Metal prelude, which will be the focus of this episode. The Casting questions the path that Batman is so adamant to go down and gives us doubts as to whether or not it was a good idea to continue pursuing the 'darkness'. In this episode, I will be discussing the role of other characters (primarily the Joker) in disrupting the mood and making us question Batman's journey into the dark, the advantages of a two-part prologue and my overall

The last time I spoke about Boruto, we discussed the first one hundred episodes and how they started to set the tone of the show as a whole. In this episode, I've decided to take a deeper dive, analysing arcs on an individual level. This time, I am looking at the Shin / Sarada Uchiha Arc. What is the nature of the character 'Shin', how well is Sakura vs. Shin executed and how successful is the arc as a whole? For show notes and more visit getinthemecha.home.blog Follow me on Twitter

The Return to Shiganshina Arc of Attack On Titan has concluded, so lets analyse the opening and what it did for the show! OP 5 draws from a variety of elements within the previous openings and also contrasts itself to its predecessor, 'Red Swan'. In this episode I will be taking a closer look at how the opening reflects the mood of the arc from an audio-visual perspective, how it distinguishes itself from the various other OPs and why it excites me for the final parts of the show.

Dark Days: The Forge foreshadows the heavy 'space opera' known as Dark Nights: Metal, a massive arc for Batman and the DC Universe as a whole. With the Tales from the Dark Multiverse series around the corner, I think the time is perfect to dive into the realm of darkness. In today's episode, I will be looking at how The Forge successfully tells part of this saga, how Snyder writes with intention and where the audience left off by the end of this prologue.

I think I can say with confidence that Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) is one of my favourite shows in the medium to this day. Also, it would be cruel to give the podcast such a name for no reason! Our journey begins in Tokyo-3, in 2015, after the Second Impact. In this episode, I embark on my journey through the Evangelion franchise, looking firstly at what is known as the 'Prologue Arc' (Episode 1-6). Today I'll be looking deeply into Shinji from an emotional perspective, the Hedgehog Dilemma

DCeased appears to be the classic zombie survival narrative... which it is! The only stark difference is that it is justified through DC's 'logic'. I finally decided to take this on, after witnessing all the hype prior to its release. In this episode, I will be looking more into the pacing of the issues I just recently read, how this impacts the tone of the story and whether this series is worth continuing.

If I am honest, the Fantastic Four comics aren't something I chose to delve into very much, but after their recent return post-Secret Wars (2015), I thought it would be appropiate that I give it a try. In this episode, I analyse the contexts that the Fantastic Four find themselves in after the advent of Secret Wars and how the members handle it. I will be taking a dive into how individual characters handle the aftermath, the threat the looms alongside this and most importantly, has the return of
