ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 70 - "Deceiver"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/02/26

I'm not doing spoiler buffer for this one. I'm about to drop some real truth that you need to hear. THAT HORSE IS 2021'S BEST ANIME CHARACTER, YO. Calling it right now so just go ahead and check on me in a year when that horse wins my best boy/girl in the OtaMel Aniwards or whatever. Anyways, in this episode, we get a lot of Falco and Gabi and that's okay, I guess. We talk about the obvious lessons that we've already learned (like not to be racist), we defend season two of Attack on Titan for some

WAS IT THAT HYPE?: K-on!

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/02/23

Joined by our friend SilentKitten from our Discord (and real life too, I suppose), we join the light music club and rock out to some of our favorite moements (it's a combination of moe and moments!) and ask if 2009's K-on! really is worth being one of the popular anime of that year and maybe in general. Which girl is best? Which girl is worst? Which girl is most mediocre? Why does Ritsu's forehead make me feel weird things? We dive into a discussion on what makes moe and what makes for some great

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 69 - "A Sound Argument"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/02/19

Why, hello. I see you're here ready to listen to another episode of Attalk on Titan. Specifically, you're here to listen specifically to our discussion on episode 69. How do you feel? Are you ready for our long and hard discussion on (episode) 69? I bet you are, you naughty weeb. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Anyways, that's enough immature spoiler buffer. Badly timed flashbacks, bandage revelation, and pregnancy reveals galore in this episode of AoT! That's all the ingredients for an awful soap opera and we're gonna

A Very Scum's Wish Valentine (feat. The Weebology...

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/02/16

We're talking all about therapy dogs, why you need to just shut your kids down and tell them they aren't princesses and that Santa is a corporate lie, and what it means to be the loneliest number 66 in this episode! Joined by the very big wrinkly brained hosts of The Weebology Podcast, we also talk about 2017's Scum's Wish but you know that's just a pretense for us to talk about anime dicks or something. It's all just a segue into having a conversation about anime butts at this point. It's also a

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 68 - "Brave Volunteers"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/02/13

The big info dump episodes return as we get another episode of people talking about people and how those people treat other people that they don't really see as people and how those people (who aren't considered people) feel about those people. Alright, now that the spoiler buffer is out of the way, in this episode we see the origin of the Marley heist (it's not really a heist but hey I think it sounds cool) and we see a little bit of the fallout of the loss of our dearly beloved. Also Brad was

Kizumonogatari

2021/02/10

The Journeymonogatari continues (after like 2 months or something, huh?) as we dive into the series of Kizumonogatari films that feature the real hottest vampire "dommy mommy", Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade! And there's a lot of Tsubasa here too! But... something is definitely off about her which you'll find out all about in this episode! Hop all aboard the waifu train with us as we talk wicked cool fight scenes, awkward watch parties, and confusing time lines in this episode! I don't

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 67 - "Assassin's Bullet"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/02/06

All these other podcasts that are doing weekly Attack on Titan episodes just immediately put THE BIG EPISODE SPOILER in the first part of their episodes description but I respect you, my dear listener, and how you're waiting for all of the last season of Attack on Titan to come out so you can binge it. Thusly, I'm gonna stall for time so this first line you see when you see this episode is posted isn't THE BIG EPISODE SPOILER. So let's chitchat. How are you? Is work going well? Is your favorite

ANIMISERY: Domestic Girlfriend (feat. The Anime...

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/02/02

We're talking an incest anime (that isn't really incest) this time so we brought on two brothers (who aren't really brothers) to come on and talk all about the forbidden fruit of familial love (that isn't really the forbidden fruit of familiar love). We're talking all about 2019's Domestic Girlfriend (or Domestic na Kanojo if you wanna be THAT guy) in this episode in a brazen attempt to just straight up turn off one of the brothers on romance anime completely. Does it work? Spoilers: not really

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 66 - "Assault"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/30

Just like how the Scout Corps assaulted the Marleyans, MAPPA decided to assault our opinions on their CG skills. Not only do we get to see some hype beast Titan vs Titan vs Human vs Human battles, but we also get a nice B-story on some Titan cuisine, like BBQ and jawbreakers. Even Armin shows up to show us MLG level Alabama fishing. Oh and we talk about some CG techniques and behind the scenes production shenanigans or something. Yawn. JUST GET TO THE FOIGHTIN'! As always, check out new episodes

WAS IT THAT HYPE?: Toradora

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/27

Is it good? Is it bad? Whatever it is, it's Toradorable! We're starting a new series where we review the most popular show of each year (according to MAL numbers so we might easily make us look stupid in a few years or something) and reviewing them to ask the question: is this show actually that good or is it just overhyped? We're starting with 2008's Toradora which is basically just tsundere central with Taiga and other characters who are just there, I guess. Do you really care about anyone else

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 65 - "The War Hammer Titan"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/22

We finally get to see the War Hammer Titan in this episode! And some other things too but they're not as important as the War Hammer Titan! Some CG was on display in this episode and maybe it wasn't the best? Just maybe? I'm not judging. Well, I am but that's what this thing is, right? Like we have to judge and talk about the episodes or there wouldn't be content. Anyways, new Attalk on Titan episode! We talk about if the CG was actually THAT bad, what we think could happen in the future, and you

A Year of Otaku Melancholy! - What We Learned (and...

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/19

I honestly thought we would've dropped out before we got to a year of doing this but here we are. There is no reason for us to survive a year of doing this really. We're taking an entire episode to talk about what happened in the past year so this kind of counts as like a recap episode or something? I mean, it's important so don't skip it like you would with anime or anything! We reflect on wrapping up what I guess is the first season of this show as we talk about why we did it, the fun experiences

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 64 - "Declaration of War"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/15

Are we sure this show isn't actually called Attalk on Titan because good lord was there a lot of chit chat in this episode. Willy was talking, (spoiler character) was talking, Reiner was talking... Everyone was just talking. But is that a bad thing? Maybe not. I dunno. A sleep deprived Brad is featured in this episode and it is a treat just like this episode of Attack on Titan. We continue to make wild guesses, theories, and just generally made outlandish claims in this episode so you know. Put us

Anime 2020 In Review - The OtaMel Aniwards!

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/13

We watched a lot of anime in 2020. Like a lot of anime. We were stuck inside and had nothing else to do but watch anime, think about anime, and put off watching the anime we had to go through to actually have discussions for this podcast. And maybe we watched the most anime of what was actually airing in 2020, you know? So here we are giving our review of all the anime in 2020 that actually mattered (that we watched) and all the trash that robbed us hours of our precious life! We're dishing out our

Fall 2020 Season Review (Or What We Watched Of It)

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/05

Just as a warning, we're both tremendously drained and have kind of low energy in this episode because life just threw both of us for a wicked suplex from the top rope. That's how suplexes work, right? Well, you can't have a good season every season, right? I mean, I'm not talking about the quality of the shows in this season but about the sheer few numbers we managed to get through this time. Life happens and you can't do a whole lot but we tried at least! We'll try to do better next season and

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 63: "From One Hand to Another"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2021/01/02

It's festival arc time! Hard to believe this is Attack on Titan with all the joy in this episode? Also hard to believe since we're hardly still seeing any titans but hey. I'm not complaining; I'm just pointing it out. We see a lot more of Falco and Brad's new favorite AoT character and we learn more about the world of AoT in some fun world lore and development. That ending though! That ending! We can't wait for the next episode and if you want more of us then check out ATTALK ON TITAN every Friday

Berserk '97 (feat. Otaku Host Club)

Otaku Melancholy ·

2020/12/30

(This episode contains talk on sexual violence that may not be suitable for all listeners.) We had so much fun talking bad anime with these guys that we brought them on to talk good anime! We brought out friends from the Otaku Host Club to talk all about the first animated adaptation of Kentaro Miura's manga masterpiece: Berserk! We dive deep into the journey of Guts and the Band of the Hawk as they aim to accomplish Griffith's dream of... something? Yeah, I think he wants a kingdom or something

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 62 - "The Door of Hope"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2020/12/25

It's a big ol' flashback to the initial invasion of Paradis as we see from Reiner's perspective just what the toll of war has on the people who dive into it. We also see a bigger amount of backstory on what it takes to be one of the Nine (just a little bit) as well as some more of Annie after about two seasons of her being largely absent. Maybe that's for the better as we see her just brutalize a bug and that's just kind of creepy. Anyways, it's a whole bunch of Reiner so if you're not a Reiner fan

ANIMISERY: Kodomo no Jikan

Praise the sun, Animisery is over. No more of this. Last one for a long long long time. The evil is dead or at least severely hospitalized for an extended period. In this Animisery, we're covering Kodomo no Jikan and it's... Man, it's just hard. Do you think it's easy watching this? Do you think we're happy watching little kids show their panties and stuff in an anime? I'm not. I'm uncomfortable. I'm in distress. How am I gonna handle the social media for this?

The sun saw fit to rise for another episode of Attack on Titan: The Final Season so we saw fit to talk about it! We're talking all about the trains, the strains, and the pains of this latest episode which sees the Marley gang going to their home and dropping tons and tons of lore on us! We see more discussion of the Nine and what it means to replace one of the members and Reiner reminisces on unfair potato sharing practices in this episode and we're gonna talk all about it and hopefully you'll
