A couple of podcasters called Jack and Rick, get together to give our views and take on anime shows and movies. Sometimes we love the shows or movies that we watch and other times we really do not like them, but regardless of what we watch, we love to get together and talk about it and bring joy to all of our listeners!

FAP-366: Her Blue Sky - Eyeballs Stars And Future Dreams

Featured Anime Podcast ·

2025/12/22

This week talk about Her Blue Sky. We started clearing up some misconceptions that Rick had “13 years ago vs. 13-year-old” confusion and then we dove into the misconceptions about the guitar and why it was still weirdly brand new. From there, we talked about the main hook, the younger and older versions of Shinnosuke existing as separate people, with the younger one absolutely tearing into his older self later in the story, which led us into talking about growing up, losing your spark, and how life

2025/12/15

This week we talk about “My Oni Girl” and honestly we spend most of this episode just bouncing theories off of each other. We talk about our initial reactions, and unpack some specific visuals that we agreed on but also disagree on, and then we finally venture off into the “rules of the world” debate about who can see what, what repression means in that world, and how the snow gods work in this movie. Which finally leads into some spoiler territory, but we admit the movie has some big plot holes,

2025/12/08

We dive into Clevatess, and we are start off by talking about we are blindsided in the opening and that sent us down quite a rabbit hole of misunderstandings about the king, the heroes and whether this was a noble legend quest or a disguised suicide mission. We spend a big chunk of time untangling and trying to figure out the lore together, along with what the king actually knew and why Clevatess wipes out the kingdom, what the four lords of dark beasts are really doing, and how Alicia’s painful

2025/12/01

This week we talk about Arifureta From Commonplace to World’s Strongest Season 3 and there was a light recap in episode 1 which kinda helped, and we talk about why this season felt especially dense but still pretty clean and focused with no real filler. We get into the labyrinth trials that this season hit us with as well as what the past ones were largely because the season also re-hashed them a little so we ended having to and a little as well, how the emotion flip and cockroach scenes were a

This week we dive into “The Ossan Newbie Adventurer Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party Became Invincible”, and we walk through the basic setup of Rick’s late bloomer adventurer story, and then we get to the full breakdown on what the show did and did not do for us and why it didn’t really work. We talk about the rough animation, character designs, and our frustration with the shallow worldbuilding and paper thin noble family antagonists. We also dig into the party’s shared “wish,” why that

This week we dive into Solo Leveling Season 2. We start off a quick play-by-play, Jin-woo’s Red Gate, Demon Castle grind, rising heat from the Association, Chae Hae-in catching on, and the Jeju Island shadow-army to round it off, then we argue adaptation choices. Rick’s fine with trimming inner monologues and letting visuals carry the pace but Jack pushes back saying that tiny connective scenes like the post-Red Gate interviews, Jinho’s dad’s motives among other things were cut, muddying why guilds

2025/11/10

Anime Anonymous joins us again this time for Arcane Season 2. We argue whether the multiverse pivot actually helps the story, untangling Jinx as a whole, and where Shimmer and Ekko’s rewind fit into that not to mention the mixed feelings that we have on Vi and Jayce and get into a full debate over Ambessa plus a couple of fan-theory rabbit holes like Jinx’s likely escape, Heimerdinger futures the whole “no body = not dead” deal. We also compare S1 pacing to S2’s choppier but more satisfying

2025/11/03

This week we have a special guests guests CJ and Artsy from Anime Anonymous and we kick things off with a small discussion about “what counts as anime,” then we dive into Arcane Season 1 and how it is framed around the undercity vs. topside divide with the main characters Vi and Powder’s break that births Jinx, and how well the show is even if you’ve never played the game. The biggest part is that it was done in a three-episode arc rollout, ruthless cliffhangers, the music that was amazing and the

2025/10/27

This week we dive into Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2 and we spent most of the time talking about the teaching arc like why that first “demo” bout with Shiki was about earning respect and not scaring off the students, whether Makoto’s class were troublemakers or just talented misfits, and how that whole school stretches into bigger geopolitical plot points; we also pulled in manga-only context that patched the anime’s fuzzy bits, like humans getting language as a goddess “gift” so it helped

This week we talk about Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy S1 which was Jeb’s pick. We talk about how Makoto gets pulled to another world, but then instantly gets rejected by a vain goddess for being “ugly”. From there he builds his own life and founds the Kuzunoha company coupled with a hidden demi-plane for demihumans, and contracts with Tomoe and Mio while butting heads with human society mostly on ideology. Jack contrasts manga vs. anime (the “ugly” bit hits both worlds) and floats a theory that

In this episode we dive into The Unwanted Undead Adventurer. We dig into the world building which was solid in its own right and the fact that they have an in-story researcher helps explain everything naturally, plus the power mix that the MC uses along with the weird biology bits like one drop of blood apparently goes a long way help to tie it all in and explain some of the other mechanics as well. However the early sprint with minimal explanation of the overall time line does hinder it a bit as it

2025/10/06

This week we talk about Chivalry of a Failed Knight and talked about the vibe of the anime and not so much the plot. One of the main points that we touch on is that the main couple actually communicates. We also talk about the main character Ikki and how he makes his own style because no one would train him, and he has a skill that is basically a burst mode that hits hard and then floors him right after. We even argued about chivalry and finally landed on yes, Ikki also sets boundaries and is

This week we talk about how Power-Rangers-meets-isekai in The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World, where the MC Togo “dies” but wakes in a fantasy world, we laugh about the stat sheet and how his lists punch and kick separately and some subtle gags and the classic Power Ranger trope where enemies randomly explode on defeat. We note a teased “silver” ranger, bandage/bond visual puns like “adhesion squad” and “bond breakers” with a late-season tone shift that suddenly goes dark.The Red

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court follows two high school girls, who look like total opposites, meet up everyday after class at the mall food court on their way home to just talk about life while they eat whatever catches their eyes. Wada is seen as a quiet, perfect honor student but in reality she’s actually a gacha game diehard with zero chill when it comes to her favorite SSR.

Angel Beats! is set in a high-school-like afterlife where teens who suffered in life are given a chance to work through their regrets before moving on. Otonashi, our MC, wakes up without memories and is pulled into the rebel group called the Afterlife Battlefront ( or SSS), which is a student militia led by Yuri that “rebels” against an unseen God, often clashing with the quiet and formidable student council president Kanade “Angel.” This is a brisk blend of slapstick raids, coupled with a couple of

We jumped into Love Flops at the recommendation of Jeb and at first we thought it was going to just be a standard harem show with some comedy which was true for the first half of the series but then it takes a hard pivot to VR Escapism because of grief coupled with AI trying to “learn love.” We talked about the intentional time leaps as well as how time passed vs how it appeared to have passed, and how each girl basically feels like they used a different “training dataset” for what love might look

The Executioner and Her Way of Life is an interesting take on the Isekai genre. And while it starts out like a number of other ones. Where someone is summoned to another world and thus their journey begins. However in this world people are summoned all the time and always from Japan. And that is what truly sets this apart is that they are not summoned to that world for a noble reason and you get to see the side after the effects of that and how that world has changed from the summoning of people to

This week we are talking about Aharen is Indecipherable Season 2. And picks up right where Season 1 leaves off, with Raido and Aharen officially a couple heading into their second year of high school. And it keeps the same slow-burn romance but then things start to open up with new faces and they also give more time to the side characters that also shed some light on Aharen's past. The show mainly stays on point but they started to pick up pace and started to time skip to cap it all off with a
