Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

Michelle Antisocial

Hang out with us— or just me, I mean, as I recap seasonal anime episodes in painstaking detail. We’re going to go in order, so you don’t even need to know anything about whichever anime I’m following to enjoy it. Not that I think you’ll enjoy this. You better not. Or else. Seriously though, I hope I can add just a little bit of weirdness to your day.

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.15- Welcome Back

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/06/19

We have a relatively calm episode, which is an ok change after the straight-up carnage of the last one. However, Shin's emotional state may be deteriorating, and the Federacy is vastly underestimating how dangerous the upcoming attack will be. That's fine though, cos Shin and Raiden don't think it's a good idea to tell them the reason why Shin knows they're wrong. Also, I mispronouce Grethe's name so many times that I couldn't even fix it without redoing the episode (sorry, Grethe). But... are you

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.14- Glad to be Here

The Federacy seems pretty nice, they even made them a monument and everything. However, there's still all this weird racism going on, and they suck at fighting the Legion a lot.Someone probably dies, and it's so gory that I was impressed. Shin doesn't seem like he's in the best place mentally. Why didn't you save him, Shin: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.13- It's Too Late

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/06/05

The Spearhead gang adjusts to their new life without fighting and a lot less racism. Nobody's really happy about it, though. Frederica is 10 and generally annoying. Shin has a nightmare at the library (not a nice dream). I'm dead. I still want to go home, Shin: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.12- Welcome

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/05/29

We start over from zero with Lena and a new group of processors. Nothing and everything has changed. What happens to Spearhead, though? Nothing? Where is Shin's head? Still with his body or no? We meet some fun new characters (if you're into annoying kids, that is). Is it yours, Shin?: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.10- Here We Go

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/05/22

Spearhead is low on food, fuel, and ammo. They spend the night at an abandoned school. Kurena eats her last after dinner dessert. Lena visits the barracks. If, one day, you make it to our final destination, would you please leave flowers?: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.10- Thank You

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/05/15

Spearhead Squadron has some quiet time in the wilderness, but Shin is acting very weird, and Raiden's noticed.The gang visits the most depressing zoo imaginable. We see the world from Fido's perspective. Are you going to the other side of the water alone, Shin?: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 9- Goodbye

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/05/08

Shin and Rei fight! Lena guilts Annette into helping Spearhead! Everyone cries! Yay! But what happens when the battle's over but you can't go home? We're going on ahead, Major: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 8- Let's Go

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/05/01

Listen to me be super stressed as I try to record this right before an inspection! Lena's getting yelled at by just about everybody. We know why Shin wants to find his brother, but now we get to find out why Rei wants to find him. It's probably going to be horrifying, yay! I complain about Shin's scar. Please don't contact us again, Major: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 7- Will You Remember Me?

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/04/24

Hooray! It's finally time for the gang to tell Lena the really bad thing! It's probably going to really destroy her, but sometimes you gotta tell people the truth, right? Also, how's Spearhead going to do with the siege of the Legion base that everyone knows is a trap? Remember last season when Ash went somewhere knowing it was a trap? I hope it's not going to be like that. Will you remember us as well, Major?: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 6- Through to the End

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/04/17

I talk a little about the shows I'm watching during the spring season. We learn a little more about Shin and Rei's relationship and all of it is terrible. Lena remembers Rei fondly in a way that probably hurts Shin more than she can imagine. Some people probably die this episode, sorry. I slowly start to talk about my love for Shin while pretending I don't think you can notice. Was he smiling, Major?: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 5- I'm With You

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/04/10

My computer's on the way out (no more keyboard, mouse, bluetooth, wifi...) so this might be a little more rambly than usual cos it's hard to edit without the appropriate tools. Sorry! We find out exactly how Shin's been "breaking" all these Handlers and it probably isn't what you're expecting. You're going to lose this war, Major: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 4- Real Name

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/04/03

How does Lena come back from being told she's been treating Spearhead Squadron like subhuman pigs? We see Shin break his calm demeanor for the first time and it's not when he's talking about how many comrades he's watched die. I try some things with the audio that you'll either love or hate (or have no real opinion about).As long as you're inside the walls, you're not our equal, Handler One: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.3- I Don't Want to Die

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/03/27

Lena asks Spearhead Squadron about their pets. What's their cat's name (spoiler: I still don't know what to call it)? Daiya, Theo, and Haruto spy on the girls and Daiya asks about yobai. Theo finally says something and it's super mean (and accurate). "Sorry"? Sorry about what, Handler One?: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 2- Spearhead

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/03/20

Lena is so well intentioned and naïve! It must be nice to have relatives in power so the military police will leave you alone when you say things that are directly against the county's ideology to a whole classroom of children. We also learn more about how Spearhead gets supplies, how they fight, and some of their names. You like to waste your time, huh, Handler One: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

86 Ep. 1- Undertaker

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/03/13

A bit about the show and its production followed by episode 1. We meet Lena and some folks in District 1. Then we get to know Shin and the Spearhead Squadron who have a habit of driving their Handlers literally insane. They seem nice though. Yeah, I bet they're nice. Say hello to the Reaper for me, Handler One: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish- Final Discussion (This is it, I promise!)

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/02/20

I sit down with my human friend Henrique Couto to get his thoughts on the anime, which I, for all intents and purposes, forced him to watch. In his own words: "TLDR: glad Ash is dead." Also, we start 86 on March 13th! Check out Henrique's podcast hereIt's almost like they were paving concrete over the garden of Ash's spirit: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Manga- Private Opinion

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/02/13

Blanca meets Ash for the first time. I get really upset about how Blanca and the world failed him (again) and talk about graffiti a bunch. Next week is a weird kind last episode thing and the next season starts on March 13th! The act of trying to hold control over a human being is not to be taken lightly, Monsieur: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Manga- Garden of Light

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2025/02/06

The last bit of manga on the Banana Fish timeline, taking place in 1994, 9 years after Ash and Eiji first met.So what happens to Eiji after he returns to Japan? Does he ever find out about Ash? Next week we wrap up the manga extras with Private Opinion! I love your name, I know somebody whose name means the same thing: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Manga- Angel Eyes

2025/01/30

Hear how Ash and Shorter met, (yeah!) when Shorter's tasked with making sure Ash doesn't get killed during his first two months in Juvenile Detention. I try to figure out how to read manga outloud and don't even cry once. Next week is Garden of Light. His eyes are light green, they just look red sometimes: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com
