As we mark our 19th year of anime podcasting, it's time for our annual holiday roundup of Christmas episodes! We're taking a look at Martian Successor Nadesico, How Heavy are the Dumbbells You Lift?, Dr. Slump, Buddy Daddies, Gintama, Food Wars!: The Fifth Plate, and Bartender. We also take a moment to pay our respects to the recently departed Jan Scott-Frazier, not by pressing F but by talking about her influence on us and this podcast.

For the tenth time, it's our annual trivia episode! We are joined by Basil, head honcho of the OSMcast as well as The Carbuncle Chronicle and OSMquest podcasts who's been doing this for just about as long as we have. Basil has been doing this for about as long as us and is from our same fandom generation, though he's got more experience on camera as our Patreon supporters at the $5 and up tiers were able to see during the live recording which was held about a week ago.

Although we're posting this on Halloween, there's not much especially spooky about this episode since after having seen Uzumaki, Daryl has instead elected to review the theatrical film adaptation of Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Be forewarned that we do spoil it all in the event you didn't already read or watch it first. Visit for full show notes and supplemental links.

No review this time around, but Gerald and Clarissa went to Otakon 2024 so here's their convention report. Despite another record breaking attendance figure, they did NOT catch COVID! They did however, barely manage to avoid getting heat stroke/exhaustion. Curse you, climate change!

Clarissa "pulls a Gerald" by reviewing something that we thought was still readily available via streaming and home video but is in fact totally out of print: 1993's four-part OVA 8 Man After. This gives us a good excuse to talk about the original 8 Man, its American localization, and of course Streamline Pictures and "Uncle" Carl Macek.

Even though TimeHealsAllWoundsButWeSTILLAskWHYYYY, through a combination of its thirty year anniversary as well as upcoming new announcements, Daryl is reviewing the Patient Zero of fighting game anime that is the original Fatal Fury anime trilogy: the OVAs and the 1994 motion picture. In an age of scientific wonders, the human body is still the world's most dangerous machine (especially when it can fire ki bullets).

It's finally time. As a result of us reaching 250 Patrons, we're reviewing what you've voted "the worst anime of all time": Hand Shakers from 2017. But maybe it's NOT the worst, since we can name at least one show that was much worse than it...

After prattling on about topics we know nothing about, Gerald plugs his ongoing Otaku Archive endeavor and Daryl showcases another Otaku In Memoriam before reviewing the quite popular SPY x FAMILY Code: White, which is still showing in theaters. Look, we're just trying to delay the inevitable here, okay?!
