Cue The Queen Song (Another)
New To Weeaboo
Welcome to episode 134! We wrap up October with another horror anime. It's called, well, Another! While it had a strong start, it started to disappoint in various ways. You can see for yourself on .

Artificial Sweetener (Happy Sugar Life)
New To Weeaboo
Time for Episode 133! We watched Happy Sugar Life. And despite the name, it very much fits for an October episode. As unconventional as it may be. Toxic yuri doesn't get much more toxic than this! Check it out if you want, but heed the warnings below. Content Warning: This anime contains blood, gore, violence, child abuse (both physical and emotional), torture, rape (including statutory), pedophilia, and grooming. These are discussed in the podcast. "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ()

Little Creep (Junji Ito Collection)
New To Weeaboo
Episode 132 is here! It's October, which means it's time for spooks and scares! And why not go with The Junji Ito Collection to start off? Well... because it's just kind of okay. Being an anthology, there are definitely stand out stories, but also a number of duds. Regardless you can check it out on ! A bit of a content warning as well, this anime contains blood, gore, body horror, and one of the shorts could trigger trypophobia.

Bass Hit (FLCL)
New To Weeaboo
Welcome to episode 131! We watched the classic FLCL! And it's incredibly absurd. But in the best ways. Plus there's that soundtrack. Not really sure what else to say. Check it out however you can! "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ()

Jellyfishing (Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night)
New To Weeaboo
Time for episode 130! We watched the recent anime Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night! And it has a lot of strong points. But it's also letdown by a few weaker elements, including a lackluster ending. Still, might be worth a look. Check it out on ! "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ()

The Slide Seen Around the World (Akira)
New To Weeaboo
Episode 129 is here! And we watched the legendary movie Akira! A movie which every animator loves to the point of wanting to homage it in all their works. And well, it is visually stunning. Too bad the narrative doesn't measure up. Check it out on . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ()

Confused and Upset (Summer 2024 Anime)
New To Weeaboo
Welcome to episode 128! We're finally getting around to the new (summer 2024) anime season! And once again, the RNG demands blood. Or something, because we got some less than ideal picks. We do have one good one though. Check them all out (or don't, in one case): "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 ()

Coda (Hibike! Euphonium 3)
New To Weeaboo
Time for episode 127! We returned to Hibike! Euphonium with the OVA and season 3. In which it's Kumiko's and Reina's third year of high school, and also their last chance to get gold at nationals with the Kitauji High School band. Even with the potential complication of a new euphonium player. Plus, there's still a bit of yuri bait. Check it out on .

Biri Biri (A Certain Scientific Railgun T)
New To Weeaboo
Episode 126 is here! And we went back to a franchise we haven't really talked about since 2019... talking about Raildex! Specifically, A Certain Scientific Railgun T, the third season of the good part of the franchise. And good news, this season is lives up to the previous two. Check it out on .

Welcome to episode 119! We watched one of the classics, Ghost in the Shell! The original movie from 1995, to clarify. And here, nearly 30 years later, it's still fantastic. And thought-provoking. Check it out on Amazon Prime or Tubi (English dub only).
