Anime Roulette

Two friends have embarked on a quest to see the best and worst the world of anime has to offer. Mostly the worst.

#16 - The Shadow of Curtis LeMay (Summertime Rendering) 04/14/2024

#16 - The Shadow of Curtis LeMay (Summertime Rendering) Back at it on Anime Roulette with a rambling, gushing review of 2022's Summertime Rendering. Tune in for Pac's rambling about the legacy of Curtis LeMay and Vee's struggling with how to review something he actually likes. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/30811863

#15 - Bowling for Koshien (Cross Game) 05/20/2023

#15 - Bowling for Koshien (Cross Game) 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)! /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/26897595

#14 - Chivalry of a Failed Magical Girl (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry & Fushigi na Somera-Chan) 05/03/2023

#14 - Chivalry of a Failed Magical Girl (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry & Fushigi na Somera-Chan) 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! /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/26730573

#13 - Thank God The FBI Are Busy With Trump (Higehiro) 08/13/2022

#13 - Thank God The FBI Are Busy With Trump (Higehiro) Today, we delve into the realm of the controversial anime, Higehiro, and boy howdy, do we have a rant-filled episode for you. Join us as we descend into arguments about what appropriate punishment for predators are, why authors keep Usagi Drop'ing, and what constitutes chemistry and romance in a harem anime! /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/24043269

#12 - My Idols Don't Jiggle Jiggle (Sekai De Ichiban Itaranu Koi) 06/27/2022

#12 - My Idols Don't Jiggle Jiggle (Sekai De Ichiban Itaranu Koi) 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. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/23554106

Special - Spies in the Shadows and the Shibuya Strategist (Seasonal Roundup) 05/31/2022

Special - Spies in the Shadows and the Shibuya Strategist (Seasonal Roundup) 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 /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/23281064

#11 - Do Androids Dream of a Millionaire Daddy? - (Bladerunner: Black Lotus/Millionaire Detective: Balance UNLIMITED)) 04/25/2022

#11 - Do Androids Dream of a Millionaire Daddy? - (Bladerunner: Black Lotus/Millionaire Detective: Balance UNLIMITED)) 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. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/22906754

#10 - The Greater Isekai Prosperity Sphere (GATE: Thus The JSDF Fought There!) 04/09/2022

#10 - The Greater Isekai Prosperity Sphere (GATE: Thus The JSDF Fought There!) 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. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/22736405

#9 - No Means Its Okay as Long as It's Payback (Redo Of Healer) 04/01/2022

#9 - No Means Its Okay as Long as It's Payback (Redo Of Healer) April Fools! /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/22736399

#8 - In Another World With My Minigun (Arifureta) 03/26/2022

#8 - In Another World With My Minigun (Arifureta) 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. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/22576787

#7 - Reject Pointless Edge, Embrace Straight Gay (Fudanshi Koukou Seikatsu + Satsuriku no Tenshi) 03/11/2022

#7 - Reject Pointless Edge, Embrace Straight Gay (Fudanshi Koukou Seikatsu + Satsuriku no Tenshi) Bringing in a doubleheader today, first we start out with the delighful short series Fudanshi Koukou Seikatsu, which brought us countless joy and giggles at some slightly inappropriate jokes. It's also the gayest straight anime we've ever watched. Following this, we dive into the anime adaption of the video game franchise Satsuriku no Tenshi, a mindlessly boring anime that was the closest we ever came to dropping a series so far this podcast! /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/22416272

#6 - Scorching Hot Girls with Ping Pong Balls (Scorching Ping Pong Girls) 02/18/2022

#6 - Scorching Hot Girls with Ping Pong Balls (Scorching Ping Pong Girls) Gleefully coming out of two straight episodes of hardline ecchi, the boys dive into the heated moe sports series, Scorching Ping Pong Girls. Pac is all the way down for this while Vee is being dragged, kicking and screaming, along for the ride, leading to some discourse around what constitutes a sports anime, what Australians pronouncing Japanese sounds like, and why the cast for this weirdly forgotten series are so high profile. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/22179458

#5 - When the Valkyrie Rides You (Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid) 02/04/2022

#5 - When the Valkyrie Rides You (Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid) What happens when you blend great animation with the most deranged level of horniness known to man? You get an anime that brings Pac to tears (laughter) and Vee to tears (suffering). /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/22022846

#4 - Wanting to ENDRO It All (Endro) 01/22/2022

#4 - Wanting to ENDRO It All (Endro) Today, Pacman and Vee descend into their most fierce opponent to date... An anime so boring it literally made them fall asleep, and halfway through the episode, change the subject entirely. We're not sorry. Not even a little. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/21859727

#3 - Rap God Samurai (Samurai Champloo) 01/11/2022

#3 - Rap God Samurai (Samurai Champloo) Being 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. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/21738107

#2 - This Anime is Shocking! (Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-Chan) 01/11/2022

#2 - This Anime is Shocking! (Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-Chan) Slamming into our second episode with an absolute abusively bad series "Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-Chan", Pacman and Vee find themselves drowning in despair at a show that tries to fob off a fetish in some of the most disgusting ways possible. Honestly, this anime shouldn't be watched by anyone, ever, and we probably need therapy now. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/21738056

#1 - Another... Anime Podcast (Another) 01/11/2022

#1 - Another... Anime Podcast (Another) Pacman and Vee set out to subject themselves to their fate and roll a random anime that they must watch, from start to finish, no matter how terrible it is. This week, we discuss the horror anime, Another, and discuss whether or not hometowns are bullshit, what kills are best, and whether or not attempting to kill a bunch of people is an appropriate reaction to almost being murdered by your mate. /episode/index/show/animeroulette/id/21737798
