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..

Sword Art Online RE:visited! - From Aincrad to Alfheim!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/03/13

Who wants a Sword Art catch up!? Of all the series we've discussed, I think we probably went in the hardest on SAO. We pulled no punches and it was our first show not to get into the Aniverse! Can you believe it? In spite of its many, many faults, for some reason Will stuck with this show throughout the entirety of the first two arcs! Is Will going to eat his words? What does the Weeb and the Noob think about SAO now everything is out in the open? How many points does Sam's rant actually

Anime Against the World ·

2021/03/06

This week, Sam gives will his first experience of this dominating dynamo duo! Getting up close and personal, our hosts delve into whether a show depicting objectively despicable characters should enter the Aniverse. From high school romance dramas all the way to the Hitler Youth initiative, this episode has a little bit of everything and the overarching question as always is... would you show this to your mum? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Spirited Away: and away, and away...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/02/27

It's episode 20 guys and an absolute mammoth of a show this week as we discuss our first ever anime movie! Spirited Away blew the world away and contributed so much to the growth of anime in the western world. But that doesn't mean it's getting a free pass into the Aniverse, not in the slightest! Will goes in hard on this David Bowie trip into a wonderland of a psychotic Rocky Horror show and Sam has to fight his corner hard to defend it. Whether you love it or hate it, let our boys

Is there a more random show to attempt to get into the Aniverse? Well, yes, probably. But this has to be up there! You want the plot of the first three episodes? Ok, here goes...A 37 year old virgin gets stabbed one day and manages to use Tony Stark tech to be transported to another world where he is subsequently reincarnated as a blue slime ball before: befriending a dragon trapped magically by ice but it's not ice; eating said dragon; learning in his first day how to move, talk, swim,

Kaguya-Sama: Love is secrets, dishonesty and...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/02/13

Who's ready for a RomCom, but everything's set within one room, everything is exaggerated beyond imagination so it plays havoc with your senses and the main characters are dislikable on multiple levels? No one? Fair enough! But if we still haven't turned you off, or you're a massive fan of revisiting high school insecurities, make sure to give this episode a listen as we revisit the first 3 episodes of the Kaguya: Love is War!

2021/02/05

This week we look at another Isekai! We venture into the wonderful world of Grimgar that gives us a land of heroes and goblins (or gremlins) and with a fair amount of sketchy etchy, we meet some of the worst characters ever. Furthermore, you remember eye brows kid, from that movie? Not the love actually guy, the eyebrows dude? Well we talk about him for a bit! Also look forward to the Aniverse bringing you the BIG questions like: is it more satisfying to cook food or eat it? Trust me guys, these

Erased: 'It's definitely the teacher'

Anime Against the World ·

2021/01/30

This week we explore the raw, emotional journey that is Erased. If you aren't familiar with this show, go in with caution - it deals with some big issues, specifically revolving around domestic violence, child abuse and mental health. There are also plenty of opportunities to laugh along the way so while we try to be respectful of the sensitive parts during the show, we hope it’s still entertaining for you all! At the end of the day, all that really matters is MY PREDICTION WAS CORRECT!! Hosted

IT'S OUR TOP 5/15 ANIME SHOWS SO FAR!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/01/28

This little special episode gives our hosts a chance to take a step back and consider everything they've looked at so far. Both Sam and Will bring to the table their favourite 5 shows they've watched to date and with only 15 to choose from, there's bound to be some cross over! But will they agree on all 5? Only 9 of the 15 made it into the Aniverse, will either of their lists consist of purely accepted Aniverse shows, or will there perhaps be some surprising contenders? What would

Have you ever wanted to watch Sailor Moon on crack but never had the balls? Well now you don't have to! Introducing Madoka Magica, the show where crazy shit happens and none of it is ever explained! Do you want magic? You've got it! How does it work? WOW psychedelic fight scene, never mind! This show is a mind bending adventure story that jumps from homophobia to mind reading Pokemon quicker than a clown snake can eat the head off our favourite protagonist. Join us this week to see if

2020/12/26

This is one teddy bear's picnic you will want to avoid! In episode 11, Will and Sam consider this unusual interpretation of the video game of the same name - Danganronpa. In a school that is more of a prison and where the lessons you learn will result in life or death, there's only one rule: Don't piss off the bear!

I only get one of these so here it goes... *Magic eye trick* "You will tell all your friends about this podcast." There we go. This week, we discuss whether this chess game of a show is worthy of a place in the aniverse. With everything from magic mind control abilities that you can only use once all the way to futuristic robots fighting to the death, this Mecha anime has a little bit of everything.

Anime Against the World ·

2020/12/12

This 'Netflix Original' brings about some bizarre and wonderful tangents in this week's episode of Gateway to the Aniverse. There is no doubt this show has some amazing animation, some interesting concepts and some diverse characters, but the real question is: Where do the eggs come from?! In trying to figure out whether this can be classed as a gateway show, Will and Sam go from more harry potter references to interspecies relations and everything in between! Hosted on Acast. See

Naruto: No-ruto, Naru-no and absolutely no way

Anime Against the World ·

2020/12/05

Okay, okay, this has to be a gateway show, right? Or does it... Despite Naruto being one of the longest running and well known Shonen shows, it certainly doesn't peak in its first three episodes. This week we consider whether Naruto Uzumaki has enough spunk to entice an absolute noob into the world of anime. Among other considerable tangents, we discuss the consumption of three things: 80's rock and roll, underage pornography and sour milk. Agree or disagree, let us know your thoughts!
