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.

Banana Fish Ep. 15- The Garden of Eden

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/11/14

You made it through Ep. 15 of Banana Fish and all you get is this terrible podcast! How is Ash like a candy bar? Do you really wanna know? (probably not) Besides the sex stuff, there's murder and lobotomies, hooray! Y'know I used to be pretty famous in Times Square, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 14- Tender is the Night

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/11/07

Ash in the hospital worrying about Eiji seeing him like that, while Eiji's in jail wondering what he even meant. Eiji unfortunately meets Yut-Lung again and Ash has a (not very) surprising knowledge of high end menswear, that I very much doubt is related to his IQ. Also, he's terrified of those nurses. You gotta understand, I never even made it through elementary school, Mr. Halper: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 13- The Snows of Kilimanjaro

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/10/31

Happy Halloween, come get vulnerable with me! (I didn't expect to cry while taking notes, recording the episode, AND editing it) Ash explains the similarities between him and a dead leopard as Eiji listens in horror. He also has nightmares constantly. This is all so wonderful. There's also a knife fight and a train ride to Coney Island. I don't want you seeing me like this, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep.12- To Have and Have Not

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/10/24

Ash and Eiji have an argument about Ash murdering "innocent" gang members and we meet Cain and the Black Sabbath gang. Ash sees Dino off at the airport. Hopefully he doesn't actually bring back a taxidermist.. I talk more about the fawn threat response and defend Ash's actions because I am obviously insane. Stay away or I'll cry, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 11- The Beautiful and Damned

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/10/17

Did you know that the outline of Ash's hair is a weird color? Well, you do now. Ash and Eiji spend some quiet time together and Ash shares some of his darkest secrets and cries a lot. He also steals. I awkwardly suggest we take a field trip to Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant and tell you about my tattoo (which you can see here, if that would make you happy https://imgur.com/a/dZ09vM8 ) Stay by my side, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com (that's my email address, obviously)

Banana Fish Ep.10- Babylon Revisited

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/10/10

Lots of murder and guns in this episode, folks! I get super excited when Ash asks Eiji, "Do I scare you?" and the gang gets super confused by how protective their boss is of this random Japanese kid. We talk about the Bishonen trope and I say some really embarrassing things but decide not to cut them out of the episode. I'll protect you, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 9- Save Me The Waltz

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/10/03

Well, our main crew are being held at Golzine's mansion, so I think it's safe to assume some very not good things are going to happen to them. What things? Do you really want to know? Probably someone is going to die, and probably someone is going to get a lesson in empathy. This is the world Ash lives in, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 8- Banal Story

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/09/26

Eiji gets abducted and threatened with a fate similar to Ash's. Which is, according to Arthur and Shorter, a fate worse than death. Always good to know that both your enemy and your best friend think your life is hell. Not that they're wrong, just, ouch. We also learn a little bit more about the Government's involvement with Banana Fish and Ash comforts a crying child who's seen way too much. I won't let you go alone, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 7- The Rich Boy

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/09/19

The gang is in LA! They're meeting new friends (?) and hanging out in a mansion! I'm sure this episode will not be upsetting at all. Oh, did you know that Ash carries around a flash drive to help him hack into computers? I did. Let me tell you about all the things I missed the first time I watched and gush a little about Asheiji. But really, is Shorter actually gonna betray Ash? Go back to Japan, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 6- My Lost City

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/09/12

The gang goes to Cape Cod. Was this a good idea? No. Are you going to like the reason Ash ran away? I really don't think so. I also make myself really sad and almost cry, so stay tuned for that, I guess. We end with me defending Ash and a little on threat responses, yay. Don't look, Eiji: Michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep.5- From Death to Morning

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/09/05

Ash is out of jail and plotting revenge, Eiji steals a car, Shorter is all for killing some folks. The East River is sometimes safe enough to swim in, but I don't suggest jumping in with gunshot wounds, guys. Plus, everything you didn't want to know about human trafficking. Act your age, Eiji: Michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 4- This Side of Paradise

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/08/29

Eiji gets threatened in ways that really should make him consider going back to Japan, but he's too cool (or stupid?) to be scared.Shorter comes to save the day! Max thinks he's a nice guy for some reason. Ash gets beat up and propositioned, but he's used to dealing with guys like that (sigh). I've got a right to mourn too, Ash: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 3- Across the River and into the Trees

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/08/22

First, we talk about Rikers Island for a bit and I emphasize the difference between prison and jail (but still say prison a couple times anyway). How's Ash gonna handle jail? Not good? Let's find out. Hey, at least we got to see a super passionate kiss... Next time, come alone, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep.2- In Another Country

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/08/15

Will Ash save Eiji and Skip? Can Ash save himself? You probably won't like the answer.Listen to me verbally wrestle with this episode and come out of it pretty bruised up (I think the episode won). Trying to find my groove with this darker subject matter, hoping for a less embarrassing episode 3. Tell me I can fly too, Eiji: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com

Banana Fish Ep. 1- A Perfect Day for Banana Fish

Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly ·

2024/08/08

Are you still here?! Why?? We start with some information about the manga, Akimi Yoshida, and shoujo. Two Japanese photographers try to do a story on NYC street gangs and everyone immediately realizes that it was a very bad idea. Some guy gets shot, people are kidnapped, and two grown men say some very questionable things to a 17 year old. Berate me about my taste in anime here: michelle.a.eem@gmail.com
