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..

Are you a fan of rock climbing? Have you been crying out for a show that lives and breaths boulders? Do you want a show that does the bare minimum to satisfy these interests? Then perhaps Iwa Kakeru is for you! This week, Sam and Will take 8 minutes to get started, discuss the elephant in the room and at some point, discuss some anime.

Anime Against the World ·

2022/04/26

This week we take a closer look at the first three of The Rising of the Shield Hero. An Isekai in its purist form, this fantasy pulls our protagonist, Naofumi, out of normality and entrusts him along with three others to protect Raphtalia and its residents from evil. However, everything is not as it seems and Naofumi soon realises he's in way over his head... Listen to our review of this fascinating and somewhat controversial anime and see if it has enough to gain a place in the Aniverse!

86 EIGHTY-SIX - How to EXPOSIT like a noob?

Anime Against the World ·

2022/04/20

This week we explore a show Sam has been waiting to show Will for an age, and he couldn't wait until episode 86... appalling behaviour! This show is a Mecha which means it's an automatic win for Sam, but throughout the discussion there's quite a bit that grates on Will. From the unrealistic movements of the Mecha to the character's motivations and personalities themselves, can Sam do enough to convince Will of this show's prowess? Hosted on Acast.

My Dress-Up Darling - Hot girl likes nerdy boy? WHAAAA?!

Anime Against the World ·

2022/04/14

This week we look at the romance comedy anime that is My Dress-Up Darling! A very sexual show about adolescent hormones, revolving around a Hina Doll enthusiast who befriends a cosplay enthusiast in an effort to help her design the perfect cosplay outfit! Will really doesn't know how to feel about this show, which is to it's credit, as something this saucy would usually get knocked out in act 1, but does this show have something special?

Avatar: the Last Airbender (Book 3) - The WRONG way...

Anime Against the World ·

2022/04/05

This week we discuss the final part of Avatar the last Airbender, and boy is this one a controversial one! Will pitches his opinion that this final season is nothing but filler, and Sam tries his hardest to dispute it. Will pitches his other opinion that the season should have an alternate ending which for the most part, Sam seems to agree with. All in all, despite loving Avatar in general, it's fair to say Will has his issues with book three. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

This week we continue our special dive into Avatar the last airbender, and now we can really get our teeth into the growth of the characters and development of the story! We discuss the poignant moments of this show, from Zuko's arc to Uncle Iroh's lost son Tale, and laugh a lot at the hilarity of Sokka and Toph. And don't worry, we will absolutely discuss the most important thing in this series... The secret love tunnel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

Anime or Ani-no? Listen to our full review where we gush about the impact this show had on us both as children and adults! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anime Against the World ·

2022/03/15

This week we look at the gory, the epic, the downright apocalyptic zombie anime of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress! We spend a long time comparing this to AOT, for obvious reasons, but also praise it on its own merit. Does it do enough to get in the Aniverse though? Hosted on Acast.

Overlord - Would you live in an ISEKAI world?

Anime Against the World ·

2022/03/08

It's another mother f****ng Isekai!! This week, inevitably we compare this fantasy gaming world to other isekai shows, but this does have some interesting elements that keep us full of discussion for most of the show - a rare occasion, I know! From subservients to slut rabbits, from Weeb Tier lists to Anakin Skywalker arcs... we pull this show apart and decide whether it's the best or the worst gateway show into Anime! Hosted on Acast.

2022/03/01

This week we get deep on whether MAPPA is a good thing for Anime, Sam pulls apart DC comics to the extreme in Sam Rant #103, and decide once and for all who is the best speedster ever... Spoilers, it's speedy Gonzales. If you like superheroes, slapstick humour and uncomfortable scenes of an explicit nature, this show's for you! Hosted on Acast.

Princess Mononoke - REDEMPTION for Studio Ghibli?

Anime Against the World ·

2022/02/22

This week we look at the legendary Princess Mononoke - we discuss all things Ghibli, discuss plot, animation and motivation as we pull this classic apart! We bring in Disney and end up talking about Bruno, even though we shouldn't; we bring up Batman and end up talking about Nicholas cage... for some reason; and of course we can't talk anime without discussing the Jackie Chan Adventures!

Jujutsu Kaisen - Is this BETTER than Demon Slayer?

Anime Against the World ·

2022/02/15

It's episode 70 guys, another landmark of the pod and what better way to commemorate than with a quality production such as Jujitsu Kaisen? This week, our boys pick apart this hugely popular show, gush about the animation, praise its concept and ultimately get stuck in a longwinded tangent about the Animated Jackie Chan Adventures. We hope you enjoy and make sure to tell a friend about the pod! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you know this show, then you know what we're going to talk about. If you don't know this show, please go in knowing we DO NOT CONDONE THIS SHOW! We try and acknowledge its good points while hopefully being very clear the themes this show has are inappropriate if not unacceptable. We still try to have fun with it in an attempt to entertain and hopefully do it in a respectful way! Enjoy the podcast and please let us know what you think! Hosted on Acast.

This week, our boys look at the animanga 'The Way of the Househusband' where the ex-Yakuza member has a change of career! Following Tatsu on his adventures navigating the mundanities of daily life, Will and Sam bring up ptsd, Yakuza sadomasochism and delightfully cute, cat poop jokes.

Anime Against the World ·

2022/01/25

This week's episode consists of some wonderful animation, plenty of fantasy magic, a smattering of quality comedy, and a weird perverted, most likely criminal protagonist who spent the majority of his life in bed playing video games, mooching off his family and doing unforgivable things in the comfort of his own bedroom...

This week we go all USA as we road trip across America with the Musicart gang! This fun advertisement for Gacha content gets Will hooked for 99% of the discussion... that is until Sam reveals that it is a Gacha game.

2022/01/04

It. Is. Time. Just over a year ago, Sam introduced Will to the Aniverse and began showing him all kinds of crazy shows which they decided to discuss and record and release said discussions as a podcast. In only the second ever episode of the podcast, Will, an absolute noob, was presented with the first 3 episodes of Attack on Titan. Now, one year and 3.5 seasons on, he and Sam come together again to discuss everything AOT with no other motive than to get absolutely HYPED about the 'Final

BLAME! - Is this just too similar to the MATRIX?

Anime Against the World ·

2022/01/04

Despite this particular series preceding the classic Matrix trilogy, there are some obvious similarities that through no fault of its own potentially allow any newcomer to the series to develop preconceptions or opinions about this material. Now in anime form, can this movie do enough to convince a noob to give up a life of mainstream media and move into the weird and wonderful world of anime? Hosted on Acast.

This week we look at a steam punk 18th century Paris and a vampire hunting extravaganza! We look at the sketchy etchy, discuss some fantastic directorial choices and play a dangerous game of Googling things that could have gone very badly! If you're into vampires, witty comedy and great animation, this may be right up your ally! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anime Against the World ·

2021/12/21

This week we look at the epitome of Japanese culture in this modern take on the classic that is Godzilla. This mystery sci-fi sure has some unique qualities that really help it stand out from the rest of the Godzilla content out there, but is the techno-babble just a little too much? We answer all the big questions this week as we ask is it okay to laugh at an anime baby face planting? And where do you store your laptop porn? as we endeavour to decide whether this can be considered a Gateway show
