#15 - Bowling for Koshien (Cross Game)
Anime Roulette
This episode sees us revisiting one of Vee's all time favourites series in Adachi Mitsuru's Cross Game, but Pacman's not quite sold on it as a whole. We discuss the merits of character driven storytelling, interpersonal dramas, debate whether a baseball anime needs more baseball, and agree thoroughly on who best boy is. Tag along for the beginning of our Summer of Sport (in Autumn)!

#14 - Chivalry of a Failed Magical Girl (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry & Fushigi na Somera-Chan)
Anime Roulette
Today in our (grotesquely late) episode, we cover what happens when you make a Magical Girl anime on a shoestring budget while drinking water laced with illicit substances, and cover a long term crowd favourite in Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry. Tune in for some problematic Magical Girls, ranting about self-inserts, and a long and winding process to figure out who the best girl is. See you soon!

#12 - My Idols Don't Jiggle Jiggle (Sekai De Ichiban Itaranu Koi)
Anime Roulette
They fold. This week, we cover the bizzare genre collision of Idol anime (except not much idol stuff) and Sports anime (except that's not how sports works) and discuss slash scream about how you just can't lose that many matches in a row without getting fired, kinks and ecchi, and genres that just don't meld.

Do they cast a shadow? Welcome to our Spring 2022 seasonal roundup, where we rip tear through the anime we have watched, loved, dropped, or died over. This season has a veritable smorgasboard of series covering the gamut from action to drama to thrillers and mysteries. It also has a dispraportionate amount of lovable characters

#11 - Do Androids Dream of a Millionaire Daddy? - (Bladerunner: Black Lotus/Millionaire Detective: Balance UNLIMITED))
Anime Roulette
Come with us down the deep dark road that is 3D animated western properties with terrible English dubs, and an anime that sent Tumblr into an absolute tizzy with it's ridiculous daddy. Today we cover a 3D animated Blade Runner anime that surprised and disappointed us simultaneously, and Millionaire Detective, a show which had us howling with laughter from start to finish.

#10 - The Greater Isekai Prosperity Sphere (GATE: Thus The JSDF Fought There!)
Anime Roulette
Kicking off our first viewer choice episode with a rather loud bang, we launch into an anime full of war crimes, strawmen and "ethical" imperialism. Follow along as we rant and rave about the ethics of invading another world, whether it's a good choice to have a God of Death speak at a parliament meeting, and how many personality-less characters can you shove into one show. Watch Pac break Ivi's brain as we go head to head over whether this is a brilliant work of art, or infuriatingly mediocre! Apologies for the audio quality near the end.

#8 - In Another World With My Minigun (Arifureta)
Anime Roulette
Curse all ye who tred here, for two Australian weebs have thrown themselves onto the flames for ye, and had a... surprisingly good time of it. Tune in to hear discussions of the ethics of eating monsters, having a gun in a low-tech fantasy world, whether reference humour works in anime, and a painful realisation that we enjoyed this project way too much.
info_outlineBeing blessed for once by the RNG gods, Pacman and Vee discuss the iconic series "Samurai Champloo", and muse over what makes a series a classic, taking LSD to write better stories, whether it's still gunboat diplomacy if you play baseball, and how to have fun while telling the same story over and over.
