PODCAST

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..

Anime Against the World ·

2023/03/23

This week we change it up a bit and have two big discussions! Firstly, we review the newest episode of Attack on Titan after the drop of the one our special this month. We talk favourite moments, predictions, and general love of the franchise. Then we shift over to our usual routine of ruining another anime by over analysing it to death! This time, it's the Seven Deadly Sins! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anime Against the World ·

This week, Will brings Mushoku tensei back after persevering with the first part of series 1.

Let us know your thoughts about the story so far! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What’s the best GATEWAY into Fairy Tail??

Anime Against the World ·

2023/03/07

This week, we look at the classic Fairy Tail and consider two iterations: first, the first three episodes of the original series (classic) and 2, the movie, Phoenix Priestess! In all their sketchy etchy and shonen glory, we pit them against each other to decide which one, if either, deserves the honour of being a gateway into the Aniverse show. Hosted on Acast.

Summer Wars - The BEST anime movie we've watched so far?

Anime Against the World ·

2023/02/21

Another film special for our boys to explore, and this week they are looking at the RomCom cross sci-fi shonen that is, Summer Wars. This unique take on a virtual world, with it's 2010's technology and blend of futurism and everyday reality, there's plenty for people to enjoy. It's got twists and turns, but does it hook our hosts enough to put it in the Aniverse? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Do It Yourself!! The place where EVERY LONER can feel...

Anime Against the World ·

2023/02/14

This wholesome show has a lot to offer, and has received a lot of praise from Sam in past episodes, but does its low stakes and all female cast have what it takes to hook a newbie? This week, we look at the first three episodes, the jokes, the characters and the plot to decide if it holds up as a quality piece of media, or just a pretty DIY show. Hosted on Acast.

Chainsaw Man - We FIX this show!

Anime Against the World ·

2023/01/31

Despite Will's awful audio this week due to him not checking which microphone he was using, the boys get deep into this weird and fantastical show and manage to come to some pretty big conclusions regarding its quality. Have a listen and let the boys know whether they're talking utter nonsense or they've had the brainwave of the century! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Akiba Maid War: This concept CANNOT work!!

Anime Against the World ·

2023/01/19

This week we once again delve into the wacky world of maid cafés and as you're no doubt aware, it's a bit of a niche! Well, add some animal themed outfits, a few boppy soundtracks and the YAKUZA and you get a fresh take on a classic. But the age old question is, could you show this to an anime novice?

Anime Against the World ·

2023/01/10

This week Sam is in Thailand, so we're continuing to look at One Piece and Will's journey through the manga.

SAO Alternative: Gun Gale Online - Cafe Exposition 101!

Anime Against the World ·

2023/01/03

This week, our boys watch the first three episodes of Gun Gale Online to see if this spin off from the SAO franchise has what it takes to make it into the Aniverse! It's got guns, it's got games, it mentions one or two things from the original series... what more could you want? Well, some quality story telling would be a start... Hosted on Acast.

Anime Against the World ·

2022/12/27

This week we talk a lot less about the show than usual as for some reason, we tangent down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, whether that be about the creator of Pokemon being a real life bug catcher or how we may have come up with the best chapter of Blue Lock to date. Get all that, and some actual discussion of Dragon Quest, as we decide whether this game turned manga turned anime revitalisation can get into the Aniverse! Hosted on Acast.

Goblin Slayer - Who knew GOBLINS came from the moon...

Anime Against the World ·

2022/12/13

It was hard for the guys to decide whether this one should be put in the Anniverse or not. There's a lot to be said for this depiction of a fantasy anime, but with some controversial themes and downright graphic content, is this show too much to show an anime noob? We discuss Goblin Slayer this week, as well as the progress of the world cup and get festive with Christmas wishes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tekken: Blood Vengeance - What is the point of this?

Anime Against the World ·

2022/12/06

This week Will is confused by this marketing attempt by the Tekken franchise. The boys discuss their affinity to the game, and their expectations for a movie based on said game. This movie of 2 halves has a lot to offer and aims high, but does it reach those lofty expectations? Can it do the job of two movies and build up the hype it wants to for this story arc?

2022/11/22

If you know this show, you can probably guess the challenges we faced talking about this. It gets weird at times, and probably makes little to no sense, but this week we TRY to review the first three episodes of Pop Team Epic, the 4 panel manga comic turned anime. Hosted on Acast.

Keijo!!!! - The 'Vacuum Butt Cannon' of Sports Anime!

Anime Against the World ·

2022/11/08

This week we watch one of the greatest sports no one has ever heard of, in anime form. The rules are simple: knock your opponent off a platform using nothing more than your bum and breasts! No breasts? No entry! Sounds like the criteria of every night club post 1am... This saucy anime has plenty to unpick and our boys have a lot of fun trying to keep this podcast PG13. Enjoy!

2022/10/25

This week we are looking at the sequel to the original Vampire Hunter D movie from 1985 which we reviewed over a year ago now, so make sure you check that out if you haven't already! In this adaptation of the light novel, D has to chase a vampire across the country, save an attractive woman, fight various monsters along the way and end up in a spooky vampire castle that ends up being destroyed... so pretty much the same as in the original!
