Access Flash! Resident toku nerd, Austin, is here to guide Danielle and Danny through Studio Trigger's 90s tokusatsu throwback show, SSSS.Gridman. We talk about the show's incredibly strong direction, its relationship to the original Hyper Agent Gridman and other tokusatsu, and how horny animators need to chill with the fan service... but mostly we're just here to talk about how capital C Cool this show is.

We're back to talk about the second half of Terror in Resonance, and we're ready to ask all the hard-hitting questions: Did it keep pace with the first half of the show? Does it stick the landing? Does the way it writes it's female characters get any better (lol, god no)? Is it better than Eden of the East (of fucking course it is, lmao)? All this and more!

We're kicking off the second year of the podcast the same way we started the first year: with a Shinichiro Watanabe show! Thankfully, we're having a much better time with this show than the last one. Join us as we talk about the two teenage boys who do a terrorism, the disheveled, disgraced detective who's hot on their trail, and the best keyboard typing we've seen to date.

It's our one year anniversary! We spend some time looking back on all the anime we've watched in the last year, remembering the highs and lows, and coming to the horrifying realization that a number of things we've watched are getting live-action adaptations. But before we do that, we talked about the 2016 anime blockbuster Your Name., it's place in the culture, what works and doesn't work about Shinkai's signature style, and the many ways in which this film smacks of gender.

I'm not gonna lie. These were a rough group of episodes. At least we had a better time talking through our thoughts and feelings than we did actually watching them.

Strap in y'all, this one's a long one. Turns out we have A LOT to say about these middle episodes of Penguindrum. We're still a bit divided on our feelings towards the show and what it's trying to do, but we're definitely not short on things to sink our teeth into.

Time for a new show! Danielle has picked Kunihiko Ikuhara's Penguindrum, a show with a whole lot going on in classic Ikuhara fashion. We've got things to say about what works and doesn't work about these first six episodes from both the perspective of first-time viewers and a rewatcher. Fabulous Max~!

Time to kick it into gear as we head into season 2 of I.G.P.X. More mechs, more races, more drama: season 2 has more of what we liked about season 1 and then some.

We're back at it to discuss the second half of the first season of I.G.P.X. These 7 episodes give us even more mecha racing action to chew on, but also more quiet downtime with Team Satomi than the first half of the season. This show also goes on to prove the old adage that Mobile Suit Gundam taught us: fencing is inherently gay.

Evangelion may be over (for now?), but our journey into Kenji Kamiyama's Eden of the East has only just begun! Like many of Kamiyama's works, Eden feel like it has a lot to say about society, but how much does it actually have to say in these first few episodes? It's fair to say that the three of us each feel very differently about this show so far, so join us as we unpack our various thoughts and feelings about what this show is trying to do, how well it's actually do that.
