Oops, All Romance (Spring 2024 Anime) Time for episode 121! Spring is here. Which means more new anime! And we got all romance this time (well, one of them the romance is significant, but not necessarily the main focus). And they vary a lot in quality.

It's Always A Mimic (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) Episode 120 is here! After a short break, we watched Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. And if you haven't seen it yet, watch it.

Why Am I? (Ghost in the Shell (1995 movie)) Welcome to episode 119! We watched one of the classics, Ghost in the Shell! The original movie from 1995, to clarify.

Burning Spirit (Transformers Car Robots) 03/06/2024

Burning Spirit (Transformers Car Robots) Time for episode 118! Nemesis finally got a Transformers anime on this podcast. Specifically, Car Robots! And it's a very goofy show. And the nice thing about it is that it doesn't require watching other shows beforehand. Or after. Of course, if you do want to watch it, well... it's not available for streaming in the US (neither is its dub Robots in Disguise).

Talking to a Chair (Suzume) 02/21/2024

Talking to a Chair (Suzume) Episode 117 is here! We talked about fairly recent movie, Suzume! And while it's made by the same people as Your Name, it doesn't really hit the same highs. Which is unfortunate, because it still manages to have a lot of good points. Check it out on !

RNG Has Failed Us (Winter 2024 Anime) Welcome to episode 116! The first anime season of 2024 has started and we got a handful to take a look at. And, well, the selection wasn't great, to say the least. Three different fantasy anime, ranging from bad to... complicated. At least the fourth is something different.

Noble Love (I'm in Love with the Villainess) Time for episode 115! We watched a fun anime from last season, I'm in Love with the Villainess! And yes, it's incredibly gay. Overtly so!

The Tiger and Her Housewife (Toradora!) 01/10/2024

The Tiger and Her Housewife (Toradora!) Episode 114 is here! And so is the new year! To kick off 2024, we watched Toradora! It's a rom-com, and it's a fun time with quite the cast of characters. Even if it does get a little melodramatic towards the end. Check it out on .

You know, Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 Thrice Upon A Time. And to be honest, it's a pretty great way to wrap up the entire series. So we talk about many of the things that make it work for us. You can check out the movie on . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/29238488

Stay Out of the Robot (Evangelion 3.33) Time for episode 112! We watched Rebuild of Evangelion 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo. And we can comfortably say it's a bit lacking compared to the previous two movies. Still has some nice bits in it. Check it out on .

Beast Mode (Evangelion 2.22) 11/29/2023

Beast Mode (Evangelion 2.22) Episode 111 is here! And we talked about the Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance! This is where thing significantly veer into new territory.

Get Back in the Robot (Evangelion 1.11) 11/15/2023

Get Back in the Robot (Evangelion 1.11) Welcome to episode 110! We decided it was about time to watch the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. So we started with Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone!

Falling for the Commoner (Fall 2023 Anime) 11/01/2023

Falling for the Commoner (Fall 2023 Anime) It's a new season, so time for new anime! It's the Fall, specifically, and we watched the first three episodes of four anime. And they have that weird thing where they're all pretty different, but also have a few things in common with one another. But we have a birdman! A guy with way too many soulmates! A woman who may be a bit too genre savvy! And a girl who's absolutely in love with the villainess! Check them all out.

Fukuyama: Become Human (Parasyte -the maxim-) 10/18/2023

Fukuyama: Become Human (Parasyte -the maxim-) Time for episode 108! We watched Parasyte -the maxim-! It wasn't quite what we were expecting, but it managed to entertain. However, we did find some faults with it, including a weirdly shoehorned message. And some in odd music choices. Check it out on ! Content Warning: This anime features blood, gore, body horror, and mentions of depression, trauma, and suicide. These topics are discussed in the podcast.

There is No Spoon (Serial Experiments Lain) 10/04/2023

There is No Spoon (Serial Experiments Lain) Episode 107 is here! We watched Serial Experiments Lain. A very of-its-time late 90s anime. Back when the internet was new to people and some were a bit scared of it. Lain really dips into those fears, plus a lot of other things. Although it's never straightforward about it. You can check it out on . Content Warning: This anime opens with a suicide, deals with heavy and depressing subjects, and has some body horror.

It's YO-HA-NE! (Genjitsu no Yohane) Welcome to episode 106! We jump back into idol hell... kind of.

But it's not an isekai. You can check it out on . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/28099925

Keyed Up (Key the Metal Idol) 09/06/2023

Keyed Up (Key the Metal Idol) Time for episode 105! We decided to watch a 90s anime. It's called Key the Metal Idol! It starts off pretty strong, but then it becomes an utter mess. A gorgeous mess, but a mess all the same. You can check it on or . (note: the RetroCrush version only has English audio for the 2nd episode).

If I Had A Nickel... (Volicia of Pluto Ep. 1) 08/23/2023

If I Had A Nickel... (Volicia of Pluto Ep. 1) Episode 104 is here! And we're doing something a little different. An indie anime recently popped up called Volicia of Pluto -Vapor Trail Another Age 2006-. It's a mecha yuri anime. Didn't we just have one of those? Anyway, only one episode is out, but we wanted to talk about it before it's no longer available. Because it goes away at the end of the month. So check it out while you can on !

What Are We Fighting For? (Black Rock Shooter) 07/26/2023

What Are We Fighting For? (Black Rock Shooter) Time for episode 102! We talked about the original Black Rock Shooter OVA and series. The ones from over a decade ago. In short, they're kind of a mess. But a stylish mess! And unfortunately, not available on any streaming service right now. You'll have to hunt down some Blu-Rays or something.

Rocky Engagement (The Witch from Mercury) 07/12/2023

Rocky Engagement (The Witch from Mercury) Episode 101 is here! We talked about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury! It's the newest iteration of the long-running series, and it's quite good.

Wars of the Roses (Revolutionary Girl Utena) 06/28/2023

Wars of the Roses (Revolutionary Girl Utena) Welcome to episode 100! We're in the triple digits. And what better way to celebrate that milestone than by talking a big name anime. Like, say, Revolutionary Girl Utena? A surreal anime that is often visually gorgeous. Plus the very strange movie, Adolescence of Utena. You can check out the series on , and the movie on or .

A World of Pure Illusion (Flip Flappers) 06/14/2023

A World of Pure Illusion (Flip Flappers) Time for episode 99! We're talking about Flip Flappers! It's a magical girl anime, and one that's quite the visual spectacle. It's also fairly gay, somehow both subtly and overtly. Simultaneously. Check it out on .

Indicting the Idol Industry (Spring 2023 Anime) Welcome to episode 97! It's Spring, and it brought some new anime (and pollen, but we're not talking about that)! We got some pretty great draws this time around, with one exception. The entertainment industry is rotten! Bad cops fight cryptids! Actresses with supernatural power! And Class S yuri! Kinda.

High Anxiety Rock (Bocchi the Rock!) 04/19/2023

High Anxiety Rock (Bocchi the Rock!) Time for episode 96! This time we watched the more recent anime about high school girls in a rock band, Bocchi the Rock! In which Hitori Gotoh has severe social anxiety and joins a rock band. This turns out to be more difficult than planned. But it sure is entertaining to watch. Check it out on .

School of Rock (K-On!) 04/05/2023

School of Rock (K-On!) Episode 95 is here! We dove into K-On! An anime about a light music club and their various hijinks and shenanigans.

Breach of Contract (Magia Record Seasons 2 & 3) 03/08/2023

Breach of Contract (Magia Record Seasons 2 & 3) Time for episode 93! And we returned to the world of Madoka Magica! Unfortunately, not with the 4th movie, but with the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Magia Record. And while we though season 1 was solid but fell short of the original, seasons 2 and 3 are kind of a mess. For various reasons. You can check them out on . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/26167656

A Bit Familiar (The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan) 02/22/2023

A Bit Familiar (The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan) Episode 92 is here! And we returned to the world of Haruhi Suzumiya, with The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan!
