Steins;Gate || Hacking to the Great

Otaku Melancholy ·

2020/12/15

Ah, the time loop. What was once a curse that only the most kawaii of all anime characters Bill Murray had to experience in the movie Groundhog Day is now something that almost every Japanese high school student has to go through once in their lives from the S.O.S. Brigade to Natsuki Subaru. Well, college students are no exceptions as Okabe Rintaro finds himself repeating a few days in his life trying to prevent an event he would really not see for the 100th time and also a dystopian future where a

Sorry for the rush in the opening! I was coming down off a caffeine fueled bender rage from the last record and kind of just didn't even care to introduce ourselves. Anyways! The final season of Attack on Titan is here and we're present to discuss all about it in our latest series: ATTALK ON TITAN or THE ATTALK ON TITANS if you like that better. I'm not picky but I like to give you guys options. We're going to talk all about each episode every Friday and put out our own ridiculous fan theories and

Nyanpasu~! We are always so appreciative when you guys tell us what to watch and what to talk about because it means we don't have to plan anything or make decision for ourselves! We hate intense decision making or our crushing free will that has failed us so much in the past! So when we were told to watch Non Non Biyori, we did (sort of). Non Non Biyori is a comfy slice of life mixed with slightly outrageous and wholesome comedy all about the life in a small town. Think basically Higurashi without

Get comfy, listeners! We're cooking up a discussion all about the cutest and sweetest father-daughter show, Sweetness and Lightning! Take off your squeaky shoes, lay out your ingredients for your Hamburg steak, and cozy up with your Mr. Galigali doll as you listen in to our take on this diabetes giving piece of anime goodness! I think this might be the most snug episode we've ever done. There's no arguing. There's no sadness. There's no waifus. All that's in this episode is wholesome family cooking

It's time for more Monogatari! Or should I say more "Meownogatari"? I shouldn't say it. It's a stupid joke. We're back with another review and discussion of Monogatari and this time we're covering Nekomonogatari or Nekomonogatari Black if you're like that or Nekomonogatari Kuro if you're just a weeb who never wants to be absolved of his sin. The clocks rewind and we finally get to see that fateful Golden Week and what exactly made Tsubasa turn into the Tsubasa Black that we all know and love (well,

New season! New shows! New preview episode! We're talking about the shows from the latest season of anime and what we think about them! This episode was once again split into two parts because it was HEFTY but you know what? That's okay. In this episode, we're giving our thoughts on the first episodes of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou, Ochikobore Fruit Tart, Noblesse, Iwa Kakeru Sport Climbing Girls, Tonikaku Kawaii: Over the Moon for You, Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, Adachi and Shinamura,

It's spoopy month time and we're talking all about the blood soaked citizens of Hinamizawa from When They Cry in this spoopy celebration episode! I mean, what's spoopier than waifus and rural living!? Waifus who want to kill you AND rural living! Well, the thoughts I have before I go to bed are WAAAAY scarier than that but this episode isn't about the existential horror of being alive in a crumbling society! It's about the stabby stabby murder murder kind of horror! This episode we're diving deep

ANIMISERY: In Another World With My Smartphone

Otaku Melancholy ·

2020/10/20

What do you think would happen if you were suddenly hit by a truck? Well, you'd die of course but death seems to be just the beginning in anime as more and more teenaged youths find themselves following the disturbing trend of being transported to another world (or isekai'd if you like that term) the moment that truck-kun decides to give them just a little kiss. Such is the case again with Touya Mochizuki after Kami-sama accidentally smites him by dropping some lightning on him. Touya is then sent

Summer 2020 Seasonal Review - Part Two

It's time for the second half of our seasonal review and oh geez is it powerful. I even gave you more time stamps because I care about you. Our producer Craig demanded we cut this thing in half and I'm not going to argue with him because I don't know how to work Audition and also he gives really nice gift baskets or so I've heard. I wouldn't know. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ONE. In this episode, we're talking about ReZero Season Two, Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

Summer 2020 Seasonal Review - Part One

2020/10/06

Hey look! I added in time stamps so you could see when we talk about a show now! Isn't that cool? Summer anime was a blazing firework that shone bright when it flared up to the reach the heavens but soon fizzled out when it exploded. Or was it? I guess you'll have to listen to these reviews to find out, huh? Or you could've watched them yourself or gone to some other review site or show and figured that out but I'm assuming that I'm your only source of anime information. Anyways listen to this

WARNING: Awful metal screaming occurs several times in this episode and once within the first minute. It's bad and I've warned you and I'm sorry. Also spoilers for all of Aggretsuko too, you know? Aggretsuko details the life of one hella cute red panda known as Retsuko as she battles the turmoil of just being alive in the actual world with jerk bosses, horny hyenas, and the sheer dread of just going to work on Monday. She also has a set of wicked pipes which she uses to voice all that tension when

2020/09/22

Oh yeah, it's big fake time. We're covering Nisemonogatari the second part of the Monogatari series and what is arguably one of the most interesting shifts in anime that we've ever seen. Where as Bakemonogatari was kinda pervy in way, Nisemonogatari just takes control of the wheel of the car and proudly declares that IT IS HORNY ON MAIN AND ALT AND EVERY ACCOUNT IN BETWEEN and drives us off the pier and into the cold depths of Lake Wannaseeaboobie.

Have you ever wished that you just didn't have to look in two places for a waifu and a delicious refreshing beverage? Maybe you wanted to satisfy your thirst for anime girls while you were actual sating your thirst? While you watch 2009's Akikan, you don't have to! It's just too bad you'll have to look for some actual quality while you enjoy your senpai soda or whatever. Haha, I'm kidding though, right!? Yeah, it's Akikan! It's all about soda can magical girls fighting other soda can magical girls

Some anime fans just have it better. They get season after season and they never have to worry about more content cause it's coming (looking at your My Hero fans). Some are less lucky and get another season and maybe a movie after but then everything is just quietly swept under the rug and forgotten. Some fans are even MEGA unlucky and get one season and that's it: too bad, so sad, be mad. We've been the last kind of fans too much and we're gonna talk about the anime we actually want more of!

What do I say about Bakemonogatari that hasn't been said already? What kind of description can I possibly give that would compel you to legitimately listen to this episode if you weren't already going to watch it to begin with because we were talking Monogatari? I don't know how to get you in the door but here's the thing: this is an actual legitimate review and (kinda) not all about how much we love this show. I mean, do we love this show?

You ever just read an anime's description and realize you're going to be watching one of those "I can't talk about with anyone unless they've seen it and understand that it's anime" anime? You know what gave it away for us? Alien lesbian bears. That's a big danger in Yurikuma Arashi (or Yuri Kumaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Arashi if you wanna be technical) and it's also a hazard for us who had to experience it. YKA is here to teach you never to give up on love but did we give up on it? You're gonna have to

On July 19th 2019, congoers met for the last time at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, AL to enjoy their time at the tenth and final year at North Alabama premiere anime and gaming con, Hama-con. It had been an adventure to get to this point and many a tear were no doubt shed as friends and family parted knowing that they would never meet again in celebration of this convention. Hama-con touched many otaku and non-otaku alike and was a yearly ritual for so many including myself. It is in the

Better late than never, right? We're watched the first few episodes of a lot of shows of Summer 2020 and then we talked about them! Is Summer 2020 the kind of season that you should write home about? Maybe if your parents and you keep up correspondence about anime, I suppose. We're looking at a whole lot of the new hotness but we're also skimming over some of the more interesting and "unique" shows about horny tokusatsu teenagers and horny ogresses. I guess a lot of the shows this season are kind of
