We're once again taking the stage to talk about the second half of Revue Starlight! Definitely some very high highs, and some lows as the curtain closes on the series, but one things for certain: it's all still very gay.Anime Discussed: Revue Starlight 7-12Next time: Revue Starlight The MovieSend us your questions!

We're following up Girls und Panzer der Film with another great girls show, Revue Starlight. A show filled with Music! Dance! Drama! And also a talking Giraffe... It's so easy for us to imagine a version of this show made by a different creative team that we hate, so we're so grateful that the people how made this kinda nailed it.

We're wrapping up our return to the world of Girls und Panzer with Der film! (And it's associated OVA, Alice War!). If you like girls and you like tanks (like a certain someone on this podcast now does), this movie is a great time! We talk about our favorite looney tunes-esque tank battle moments and our favorite character moments with the girls, learn about the one of it's kind T-28 super heavy tank, appreciate the appeal of march music, and yearn to touch a real tank (ok, maybe

We're returning to the glorious world of girls and tanks (and the gigantic ships they go to school on) with a handful of Girls und Panzer OVAs! While the original 6 OVAs are a bunch of (mostly) characterful hang-out episodes, the Anzio Battle OVA provides us with a full (Italian) course of all the things we remember loving about the TV series. Overall a great way to get us properly warmed up for Der Film next episode!Anime Discussed: Girls und Panzer OVAs 1-6 and This is the Real Anzio

We've made it to the finish line of RideBack! Did the geopolitical themes add up to something compelling and interesting? Oh, hell no, but it was pretty entertaining for the most part. Honestly, it's a rare treat for us to get to talk about a perfect mid anime. Oh, and make sure to stick around to the end for a mini-discussion on the recent theatrical rerelease of End of Evangelion.

Episode 127: It's RideBack Not RideBean

Under the Kotatsu ·

2026/07/22

After our brief foray into video games, it's time to ride back into anime with 2009's RideBack: a show we all thought would be like IGPX with motorcycle mechs, but instead it's more like Terror in Resonance with motorcycle mechs? Either way, we're having a surprisingly good time with this racing anime pollical drama hybrid.Anime Discussed: RideBack 1-6Next time: RideBack 7-12Send us your questions!

2026/07/08

Today we're saying goodbye to anime (temporarily) and hello to video games. We've got another show and tell for y'all with a cyberpunk roleplaying game out in the edges of space, a photography game about trying to soak in the vibes at the end of the world, and a shoot 'em up from one of the bedrock series of otaku culture. And don't you anime sickos worry, we'll be back next time with the first six episodes of 2009's Rideback!Anime Discussed: Show and Tell (Anime Ja Nai,

It's time to wrap things up with our favorite gay girls and the world of Pure Illusion. Despite some misgivings about the final conflict of the show, we all made it to the other side with positive feelings towards Flip Flappers.

We made it to the end of Bokurano which means we can finally say with no hesitation that it was one of the worst things we watched for the podcast. Any good will we might've had towards the start of the show has fully whittled away at this point.

2026/04/15

Much like the kids in Bokurano, we're fighting for our lives trying to see this show through to the end as it continues to throw plot lines and characters at us that we could care less about, and forgets to have its characters reflect on any of the plot reveals that happen. Oh well, at least it's starting to get a lot sillier as it goes along.Anime Discussed: Bokurano 13-18Next time: Bokurano 19-24Send us your questions!

Episode 119: More Weird Car Stuff

Under the Kotatsu ·

2026/04/02

So there's good news and bad news about the next six Bokurano episodes. The bad news is that we've hit a major low point in the show, but the good news is that hopefully (let's all cross our fingers) the worst is now behind us. Sit down in your thematically appropriate pilot chair and join us as we complain about the tasteless of the show, it's contradictory inclination to pull its punches, and the ongoing saga of weird car stuff.Anime Discussed: Bokurano 7-12Next time: Bokurano

2026/03/18

We're watching Bokurano! Six episodes in and it's fair to say we have some varied opinions about this one. Things we generally like: the music, the mechs, the OP; things we don't like: all these nasty boys, the ED, strange changes from the source material. Will our spirits hold for the remaining 18 episodes, or will they die out like these kids after piloting Zearth? Anime Discussed: Bokurano 1-6Next time: Bokurano 7-12Send us your questions!

We're finishing off our run on Patlabor with a trio of offerings. First there's the main event, Patlabor WXIII, the last of the theatrical animated films and an often overlooked and underappreciated part of the series. Then there's MiniPato, the short form experimental parody anime, and last (and probably least) there's Patlabor Reboot, the 2016 proof of concept for a modern Patlabor series that's finally going to see its actualization in the upcoming Patlabor EZY.
