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..

The Heike Story - Does it demand too much from the...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/12/14

This week we look at the very popular Japanese account telling the story of the Heike, and according to Wikipedia: is a Japanese original net animation series adapted from Hideo Furukawa's 2016 translation into modern Japanese of The Tale of the Heike, a 13th-century historical epic depicting the rise and fall of the Taira clan. Honestly, do your own research if this interests you or listen to Sam and Will pick it apart and see if it's something that might take your fancy! Hosted on

Dr Stone - TERRIBLE bad guy motivation?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/12/07

This week we take a trip into the future and look at Dr Stone! The typical YA story about two teenage boys who just want to bring back all of humanity after everybody turned spontaneously to stone for 3000 years... We answer the big questions, such as, how often are your bowel movements? And, What happened to the dog? We do this, and so much more, as we decide whether Dr Stone has what it takes to get into the Aniverse! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anime Against the World ·

2021/11/30

What a wonderful concoction this film offers - Space; Pirates; time travel; ghost ships; planet destroying technology... Sounds like a recipe for awesomeness! However, is it all just too much to cram into one movie? Listen to the boys discuss whether Harlock lives up to the hype as they pull it apart and decide whether it's worth a place in the Aniverse!

Sk8 the INFINITY - Is this the perfect WESTERN SHONEN?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/11/23

Is this passionate interpretation of a skating shonen one for the Aniverse? With some niche content and some wacky, over the top and at times unrealistic acrobatics, this show could be a little too hyperbolic for some people. However, with some cracking moments of animation and comedy slap stick pieces, can this show convince a noob to take up anime? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Violet Evergarden - a WASTE of a great backstory

Anime Against the World ·

2021/11/16

As Sam so elequently put it, "Do you love good animation (at the expense of everything else?)" then potentially this might be the show for you! With some serious issues covered, the boys have mixed emotions about this show and if it's close to your heart, go in at your own risk because they don't pull any punches. A beautifully shot anime that potentially misses the mark and provokes some interesting discussion! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sonny Boy - The Hikikomori Dilemma

Anime Against the World ·

2021/11/09

This week, the show gets deep and metaphorical as our two hosts try to solve the Hikikomori crisis currently present in Japan. Alongside that, they also imitate cat noises, make ass jokes and ruthlessly over analyse another 3 episodes of a new anime show - all the things you hate to love! Hosted on Acast.

Angels of Death - is not good...We PROMISE

Anime Against the World ·

2021/11/02

This week we watch the first three of Angels of Death, the RPG turn anime, and have to unpick this weird labyrinth of forced relationships, unbelievable character motivation and unpalatable dialogue. Sam also turns briefly cockney and the boys reminisce about the good old days of Doctor Who! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anime Against the World ·

2021/10/24

This week we take a break from introducing Will to brand new anime in order to reflect on our first full year of podcasting! As always, the conversation derails and we bounce around a lot, but through rose tinted glasses we discuss our favourite moments of the podcast, delve into Will's ever evolving opinions of anime and reveal some sneak peaks behind the curtain of producing a hobby podcast. We hope you've enjoyed the show thus far and here's to many more episodes and a lot more

Made in Abyss - Is this show just a little bit BBQ...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/10/19

This show was a weird one... you know that weird feeling you get when you eat BBQ sauce? If you know, you know. This fantasy show takes a close look at child labour laws and exploits them to the fullest. While venturing down a giant hole, Sam and Will find themselves discussing a show that conveniently knows a thing or two about that. If you want to hear us ramble on for a couple of hours about the first three episodes of this weird chibbified freakfest, then make sure to tell a friend and spread

Anime Against the World ·

2021/10/12

FINALLY, Will can get on board some Main Stream content - even if it is still anime! This week we look at the topical Star Wars Visions, the short anthology series that gives our boys plenty to talk about! We discuss the big issues, like why the final movie deserves to be burnt to the ground and why Star Wars might just be a little bit murdery. You know the drill guys - tell a friend about the podcast! Or in true Star Wars fashion, do the exact same thing but do it a million times... Hosted on

Maid Sama with GUEST Steph0sims, "Do YOU hate Men?"

Anime Against the World ·

2021/10/05

This week we're joined by the hilarious, the creative, and the hilariously creative, Steph0sims who gives us this week's show, Maid Sama! We cover the menial, the weird and the down right illegal with this fetish themed anime. Do you like high school romance shows? Do you like maid cafes and fetishes? In the words of Steph, DO YOU HATE MEN?! Then this show might be for you! We discuss the big issues of sister fantasies and Japanese cafe culture, interspersed with conversations about Gossip

IT'S HERE! Finally, Will gets to experience the hype that is My Hero Academia for the first time ever! Need we say more? Yes? Fine, we will! This week our boys explore everything from star wars name sakes to who wins a fight between Shazam and All Might? They explore character motivation, gush over the story telling of this show and ultimately decide whether it has what it takes to get into the ever more elusive Aniverse... Hosted on Acast.

Vampire Hunter D (1985) - DRACULA has been CANCELLED!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/09/21

This week the boys look at their oldest ever anime production in Vampire hunter D (1985). There isn't much left on the table in this episode, as our hosts pull this show limb from limb. From sketchy etchy shower scenes to laughable animation, it may be a painful listen if this film has a special place in your heart, but take solace in the fact that there is always a D for every V in this world...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/09/14

After listening to Will's issues with the standard of anime to date, Sam comes fully loaded with this banger of a show! With some incredible fight scenes, some impressive animation and some hilarious stand out moments, this show has a great shot at getting into the Aniverse. This week the boys manage to slam Record of Ragnarok yet again, somehow tangent onto Power Rangers, yet again, and Will can't remember the name of a show he's been watching, YET AGAIN!

BEASTARS: Re-visited! - LEGOSHI is an EGOMANIAC!...

Anime Against the World ·

2021/09/07

This week the boys go back over Season 1 of Beastars to see if it lives up to their stellar review way back in episode 9. Of course, that was just based on 3 episodes. Now the boys have love triangles, love hotels and love fuelled shonen battles to add into the equation! They discuss everything from the politics of the war on drugs to the purpose of anime, and all the while they try to figure out what the hell happened to Tem!? Hosted on Acast.

Clockwork Planet: Our BIGGEST rant ever?!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/08/31

This episode, our boys discuss the absurdities present in this week's anime: Clockwork Planet. From poor character development to inexplainable plots, Sam and Will pull this show apart like disassembling a clock - which isn't necessarily important in a world made of clocks apparently so they should be fine! Despite some pretty damning plot holes, can Will and Sam find enough metal in the madness to give this post apocalyptic, sci-fi anime a shot at getting into the aniverse? Hosted on

Tokyo Ghoul: is Hide the best ever 'best friend'?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/08/24

This week the boys look at a Japan infested with people eating monsters that need to devour humans to survive. No, it's nothing like zombies... or vampires... These are Ghouls! - They have tentacles so they're completely different. Honest! The lads discuss the ins and outs of Tokyo Ghoul this week, from the amazing animation to the phenomenal directing and as always, include plenty of criticisms along the way! Does it have what it takes to get into the Aniverse? Hosted on Acast. See

Drifters: Is this the best fantasy Isekai so far?

Anime Against the World ·

2021/08/17

This week's episode takes another jump out of reality to explore the isekai Drifters: Battle in a Brand-new World War! Who'd have thought there was more isekai to watch? If you like the sound of Lord of the Rings crossed with Monsters Inc and sprinkled with random historical figures, you're probably a very confused individual but don't panic! We just might have the show for you... But does it have what it takes to get in the Aniverse? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for

Charlotte: It's not frickin teleportation!

Anime Against the World ·

2021/08/10

This week the boys discuss the discount x-men anime series, otherwise known as Charlotte! Can you guess the name of the protagonist? That's right, it's Yuu! This show is filled with some brilliant comedy, some ridiculous and frustrating story arcs, lots of beautiful animation and an imaginative concept, but does this superhero school have what it takes to earn an A+ and gain access to the Aniverse?
