WAS IT THAT HYPE?: Sword Art Online [Season One]

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/05/28

What is there to say about Sword Art Online that thousands of AniTubers and wannabe AniTubers haven't already said? What plot hole hasn't already been poked holes in to death and how many times can you discuss how boring certain characters are? Is there even a point to talking about it at this point? We're gonna find out in this episode as we FULL DIVE in to talk about 2012's Sword Art Online and see if we actually have anything new to say but honestly we aren't. It's kind of just done to death yet

MAY-AZAKI - The Wind Rises

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/05/26

We're wrapping up the merry month of May-azaki with his latest (but maybe not so greatest) movie: The Wind Rises! It's all about planes and the inventor of the legendary Zero aerocraft Jiro Horikoshi but does this movie soar above the clouds with the rest or does it fall right out of the sky right into the pits of mediocrity? Well, it's Miyazaki so you know it's not going to be bad but hey! I have to entice you to listen by raising the stakes so here are you stakes as you like them: medium rare and

MAY-AZAKI - Howl's Moving Castle

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/05/18

If there was every truly a "most handsome boy in all of anime" then it would surely be Howl from this film. Miyazaki is at it again with the sheer whimsy in his 2004 creation which we're talking all about in this episode! Cubby holes for your boots, the best way to eat eggs, and the origin of chicken and waffles are all discussed as well as a little bit about this movie (I guess if that's why you're actually here for some reason) so sit down, listen in, and let us help carry the heavy burden of your

Spring 2021 Preview - Part Two

Another episode! Another batch of shows! Another bunch of first impressions and thoughts! In this episode we're covering Higehiro, To Your Eternity, Osamake, Shadows House, Zombie Land Saga Revenge, Godzilla S.P., Koikimo, Vivy: Flourite Eye's Song, SSSS Dynazenon, Pretty Detective Club, and Combatants Will Be Dispatched! There's a lot of "meh" feelings in this episode but that's why we have first impressions cause we don't know what a lot of these shows will end up like, you know? It doesn't mean

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/05/07

We're doing Friday episodes for a minute cause we just had so much content we wanted to pump out but just didn't have the Tuesdays in the month for it. When Brad says you can do seasonal previews, you do seasonal previews! After the banging season that was Winter 2021, how do you come back from that? What can you possibly throw out that means anything compared to what we just got? Well, Spring 2021 is here to try and hook us with the shamisen, tan bully waifus, and even more slime!

MAY-AZAKI - Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/05/04

We're dedicating this whole month to anime's most well known (and possibly greatest) auteur: Hayao Miyazaki! In this merry month of May-azaki, we're going to be seeing where Mr. Miyazaki started from and where he ended up as we review four of his movies from his very first (this very episode you're about to be listening to or might be listening to already, I dunno) to his latest! In this episode, we're discussing his feature length film debut: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro! We break down all

WAS IT THAT HYPE?: Mirai Nikki

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/04/27

Imagine this: some crazy CGI god has the audacity to force you to fight for his job (which he isn't really that great at) with your future predicting cell phone while this kinda crazy kinda hot girl that you casually said at one point that you might marry murders anyone who would make the foolish mistake of even breathing the same air as you? If you can imagine that then congrats! You can kind of imagine this week's episode (and also you have a great imagination, I'm so proud of you) of WAS IT THAT

Way of the Househusband

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/04/21

Netflix dropped a new "anime" so you know we had to talk about it especially since it's an adaptation of a manga which means that the fact it isn't like the manga is basically the only thing Matt talks about. Don't you get tired of hearing "well, in the manga" all the time? Yeah, there's like five episodes and they're all basically ten minutes long but we can stretch this out content! We're discuss all of Tatsu's hilarious antics and what makes a good adaptation and a little bit about Eragon too

Winter 2021 Seasonal Anime Review

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/04/14

We're back at it again with the seasonal reviews and we have 11 shows to discuss and talk about this time which I guess is an okay number for doing this seasonal watching thing. We also have time stamps so you can skip all the useless stuff like us talking about our day and lives and favorite things and our actual thoughts and all our hopes, dreams, and fleeting ambitions. You know. All the stuff that no one cares about. We also have our seasonal correspondent Amelia from the Otaku Host Club podcast

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/04/06

We're back at it again with the siscon anime so you know we had to get someone else involved to suffer with us! If we just covered these shows by ourselves then it would be just two guys creepily discussing all the ways that incest is cool (or not cool, I GUESS) or something but if we get other people involved then we're not absolutely culpable for all the weirdness that happens and we can totally deviate all blame onto them or something. We got Courtney and Karl from the Strictly Series (that

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 75 - "Above and Below"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/04/02

It is finished (for now)! No more double episodes! We had a lot of fun but all good things have to be put on hold as we conclude the first part of Attack on Titan's final season and think a little bit about just how we got here but it's mostly more Pieck discussion. Does she lose points for saving Gabi? Yeah but she's still best girl. It was a ride up to this point, though it had some ups and downs, and we enjoyed getting to hang out with you each weekWe. can't wait for when Attack on Titan returns

WAS IT THAT HYPE?: Angel Beats

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/03/30

Does a show being sad actually make it hype? From a literal standpoint, no. It's very hard to rave with tears in your eyes. That said, we already picked a terrible name for this series of episodes and we have to keep to it so... Here's our episode on Angel Beats! Is it a trip to anime hell, anime heaven, or anime purgatory? Technically, it's the last one but I'm tired. Listen in, hear us talk about the meaning of life or something, and just hang out or something, I guess. I'm tired. I can fix this

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/03/26

It's Attack on Zeke-tan (that sounds better out loud) as we get double episodes both kinda focusing on the Monke Titan's bearded boi. The gears are really moving in this double feature with friends and foes breaking their ties with one another and even breaking a few bones in the process too. With one more episode due, this final season of Attack on Titan is burning it's plot fast as we see all the pieces fall into place for Paradis to change... And maybe not for the better.

Made in Abyss

2021/03/16

We stare into the Abyss in this episode as we discuss the adventures of Riko (no relation to Starship Troopers Riko) and Reg (no relation to that other Reg you might know) as they delve deep into the cursed Abyss to find Riko's mother and why Reg is part Go Go Gadget Extendo Arm and how they maybe should've packed some extra bottles of club soda to get all those pee and blood stains out of their sheets in 2017's classic Made in Abyss!

Anime Super Smashers: We Pick Characters for Our...

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/03/09

We go 1v1 with the creative process in this episode as we figure out just what characters we'd put in our version of anime Smash Bros! It's in the title but also I'm just clarifying for any mild confusion. We decide who is "classic" and "iconic" enough to be put in the illustrious roster of this imaginary game that we concoct and one of us also throws a character from 2020 just because. So who is really Smash-worthy and who is assist trophy worthy? We answer part of this question as we wavedash

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 71 - "Guides"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/03/05

Heaven got a new angel in this episode... right? I mean, someone got something. I don't know if you get rejected from going to heaven just because you made someone eat their own "stuff". It doesn't say that you can't not do that in any religion, yeah? Anyways, stuff actually kinda happened in this episode and we actually kinda talk about it. I think a lot of this episode is us sincerely praising Attack on Titan though. Pull up your special chair for this episode and don't blow up if we miss the

Lupin the Third: The First

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/03/02

Since the dawn of time, man has asked: "if it's completely CG, does that still make it anime?" Many wars have been fought and so much blood has been shed seeking for the final answer to this cursed question. You cannot convince me that The War of the Roses wasn't about anything else. Anyways, Lupin the Third pops his head out and says "I'm gonna refuel the fires of war once again" and now here we are watching a CG anime(?) all about the latest exploits of the master thief and SWEET LITTLE BABY JESUS
