Anime Video Games: The Good, The Bad, and the Naruto...

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/07/10

I thought that making a podcast into three acts so I could focus on everything appropriately was a good idea and then the episode became 2 hours long so, uh, enjoy. Anime video games! Since the dawn of man, man has wished to become more like anime and less like a person so they invented video games but oh wait these games have no waifus (unless you like 8 bit Princess Peach I'm not gonna judge you for being you) so man gave up on video games but then decided not to quite give up and keep making

The VHS Ventures - Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/07/03

New style of opening! It's SUPPOSED to sound like that! It's art! Yep, I mispronounce "rurouni" a lot in this episode so get ready for that. We explore the classics of anime OVAs in this new series: The VHS Ventures! We're kicking it off with the samurai classic Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal that serves as a prequel for the franchise! Is it good? YE BOI AND I DON'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT. Prepare for 50 minutes of dumb hype and you should really bring water for these solocasts, Matt. I don't know

Our Anime Pleasant Surprises (Vol. 1)

2022/06/28

You ever say "oh man this anime is gonna be MID" and then lo and behold the anime was not, in fact, mid? It turns out that it was actually something revolutionary and life changing for you in such a way that it became iconoclastic in just how much it reformed your thoughts on anime. Yeah, that's what this episode is about. It's not really about that. I lied. I just need to fill up this episode description because it didn't look long enough. I also didn't really know what to call this content except

Wandering Son [Hourou Musuko] (feat. Sinful Scientist)

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/06/19

We like to make a special episode each June for our listeners who celebrate Pride Month by focusing our critical lens on a piece of media (be it anime, manga, or game) that puts LGBTQIA+ groups in the spotlight and this year we chose Wandering Son or Hourou Musuko, the story of a young trans woman and her transformation in her blooming years of middle school as she deals with love, drama, and friendship. Of course we can't do it alone (I say we but Audrey hasn't come back from her training or

Anime Disappointments (Vol. 1)

2022/06/12

We're back! It's so good to see you again here in the episode description part of your favorite podcasting app. I missed you. After a month long hiatus full of mental rest and repair, we thought the first thing we should do is immediately sour all goodwill by discussing which anime you really liked that was a huge let down. It's honestly not that great of a list but hey if you really like two specific harem anime then I'm sorry for the amount of rampant attacks on your shows. Anyways, sorry for the

MAY-AZAKI: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/05/01

It's the start of another merry month of May-azaki where we cover (almost) exclusively the many works of Hayao Miyazaki and we're starting it off with one of his Ghibli before it was technically Ghibli works: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind! I mean, that's basically it. We talk Miyazaki and Miyazaki's work. Maybe when we run out of Hayao Miyazaki movies and anime then we'll just change Miyazaki and cover Goro. Actually maybe not. We'll probably just play Dark Souls and Elden Ring and make it

Winter 2022 Season Review

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/04/25

Introducing in this episode: rampant violence! The winter months may be cold but the anime is (supposedly) fire enough to keep warm, right? We break down and discuss (in this order!) Akebi's Sailor Uniform, Sasaki and Miyano, World's End Harem, Sabakui Bisco, Love of Kill, and My Dress Up Darling because those were the shows we said we were gonna watch and at least one of us watched all six of them! Honestly MAYBE KINDA SORTA just prepare not to like one of us as much as you did before especially if

Sony Done Took My Anime! A Discussion on Censorship,...

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/04/17

I was gonna call this episode a rehash on the old streaming episode but that would be too funny because, uh, someone showed up to record... hashed up? Is that what the cool kids say? The only drug I get high on is life (and antidepressants). We retread old ground on what we've already talked about before except now we live in an awkward future where Crunchyroll and Funimation have fused into what could only be called the Veku of anime streaming services. That's a Dragon Ball Z reference

TRADE YA!: The Devil is a Part Timer & Kaguya-sama:...

2022/04/10

Remember when we did this with Himouto! Umaru-chan and Neo Yokio back in 2020? Of course you don't because we had only two listeners at the time and one of them was me making sure Craig didn't screw up our audio. Well, we're trading shows again except this time with the intent not to make the other person suffer! We've grown weak and flabby with the shame of a frail constitution if this is our behavior now. Anyways, Audrey gave The Devil is a Part Timer and Matt gave Kaguya-sama: Love is War and one

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 87 - "Dawn of Humanity"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/04/06

Attack on Titan finally ends... except it doesn't again cause Final Season Part Three is on it's way in a year. At least it's not a movie, I guess. We talk the "final" episode of this part and give our tentative scores and complain about 60 hour work weeks all in one handy dandy episode! There's so much content in this episode that it's like you're getting two episodes in one except you aren't! Remember kids that real weebs don't forgive anime for beach episodes no matter what.

One Piece: East Blue Saga (Ep. 1 - 53)

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/04/04

It's the start of APRIL and we're kicking off a series covering a very underground anime and manga series. You might've heard of it before but I don't know. It's kind of indie. Anyways we were FOOLS not to start this franchise sooner and we regret it. YOU folks all requested it and we were STUPID not to listen until now. Well, none of you really requested it but we thought we'd be IDIOTS not to cover it on our anime podcast that loves shonen anime and all that. Please as you're listening remember

A'ight, I know this is a week late and everyone has already talked this episode out but we're just so sensitive and hurt by all the events in this episode and we just needed some time to really process everything like these wild yet tender emotions that are running rampant in our hearts from this episode and also I got food poisoning. It was my first time! It's a beautiful battle at the boats in this episode as we see scout on scout action and even edgy Hot Topic Mikasa AMV [Animal by Three Days

Yu Yu Hakusho: Chapter Black Saga (Ep. 67 - 94)...

2022/03/28

You send out a distress beacon for peeps to talk Yu Yu Hakusho and you do, as it turns out, get peeps. This week we're joined with three special guests including two shonen specialists and a Chapter Black advocator so maybe it'll be an actual good episode, yeah? It will be. All three of these guys are great and you love them and it's a solid episode. It's a deeper trek into Yu Yu Hakusho as we discuss what is considered by some (or many? I don't know) to be the best arc of the series with some of

Break out your VHS player and finally get that old tape of Disney's The Jungle Book unstuck from it's vice grip because we're rewinding the clock to review an anime classic! We're breaking down a marvelous major marvel of mecha in this week's episode which launched Hideaki Anno's career into the stars and super robot goodness into so many hearts! I love this show, my dudes. I'm not even gonna lie. Go watch it now. We talk mecha moé, moé mecha, and mecha malcontent all in this week's episode so even

ATTALK ON TITAN: Episode 85 - "Traitor"

Otaku Melancholy ·

2022/03/16

You know, now that we're almost at the end of the Attack on Titan journey (at least, I THINK we are) it really dawns on me that we probably should've just called this episode series something else. You can't Google ATTALK ON TITAN and expect to have it end up as a search result because Google will just think you have fat thumbs trying to type Attack. So many new friends lost that way. Speaking of lost friends, some friends murder other friends in this episode! Exciting! You can really see the moment

[Warning: mild spoilers for the ending of Bleach if you care who Ichigo ends up with but you'll know it's coming] It's cannon vs. canon in this episode as we talk love... fictional anime love between fictional anime characters in fictional anime settings with fictional anime romance! Mostly. We talk our favorite fictional pairings that did and didn't happen like LeBron James x Bugs Bunny and that one guy x that one girl who kinda liked him or something.

We talk about an episode with a lot of talking this week on ATTALK ON TITAN! Do we have as much to say as the characters in Attack on Titan had to say about each other? Not really. There was an awful lot of talking but does that mean this episode is all kinds of awful? Listen in (or don't I'm not your mom) and find out!

Special thanks to animeoftheweak for requesting this week's show! One of us certainly enjoyed it a lot more than the other but who was it!?

Oh boy, it's another double feature due to poor planning and anxiety attacks! We're discussing two episodes this week and both are a part of the Connie villain arc! Truthfully, I don't really know what to put here. I'm tired. I recorded this episode somewhere different from normal and I didn't account for microphone mobility so my big head kept slamming into the mic so... there's some forehead action in this episode? Not much but it's there just so we're both aware. As always, check out new episodes

Yu Yu Hakusho: The Dark Tournament Saga (Ep. 26 - 66)

You got characters. You make them fight. This is the essence of the tournament arc and also little kids playing with their action figures but in this instance we're talking about the swole super veiny beefy muscles of the Dark Tournament arc from Yu Yu Hakusho. It's got a cool name but does it have the style to rock the pompadour and shirtless flair it throws at the viewers? We'll find out by discussing amongst ourselves the things we liked, the fights we hated, and the original Shadow the Hedgehog
