Ghosts and Aliens (Fall 2024 Anime) 11/13/2024

Ghosts and Aliens (Fall 2024 Anime) Episode 135 is here! And it's a new anime season, which means we watched four anime at random. And wow, we got all good ones.

Cue The Queen Song (Another) 10/30/2024

Cue The Queen Song (Another) 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.

Artificial Sweetener (Happy Sugar Life) 10/16/2024

Artificial Sweetener (Happy Sugar Life) 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.

Little Creep (Junji Ito Collection) 10/01/2024

Little Creep (Junji Ito Collection) 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) 09/17/2024

Bass Hit (FLCL) 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 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/33097337

Jellyfishing (Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night) 09/04/2024

Jellyfishing (Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night) 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 !

The Slide Seen Around the World (Akira) 08/20/2024

The Slide Seen Around the World (Akira) 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 .

Confused and Upset (Summer 2024 Anime) Welcome to episode 128! We're finally getting around to the new (summer 2024) anime season! And once again, the RNG demands blood.

Coda (Hibike! Euphonium 3) 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) 07/10/2024

Biri Biri (A Certain Scientific Railgun T) Episode 126 is here! And we went back to a franchise we haven't really talked about since 2019... talking about Raildex!

Carry On (Wandering Son) 06/26/2024

Carry On (Wandering Son) Welcome to episode 125! It's still June! Which means it's still Pride month! And we took a look at Wandering Son.

Kissing Your Homies (Sakura Trick) 06/12/2024

Kissing Your Homies (Sakura Trick) Time for episode 124! It's June! Pride month! And we talked about the classic yuri Sakura Trick. Which has a very strong reputation among yuri fans.

I'm Not Owned! (WataMote) 05/29/2024

I'm Not Owned! (WataMote) Episode 123 is here! We watched WataMote. It's a cringe comedy. Which, as the genre suggests, can be difficult to watch. It has its moments, but sometimes Tomoko's behavior is incredibly frustrating. Check it out on .

Give Me A Job (Spirited Away) 05/22/2024

Give Me A Job (Spirited Away) Welcome to episode 122! We finally watched a Studio Ghibli movie. And we decided on the 2001 classic, Spirited Away! And to be honest, the single biggest reason to watch this is for the visual spectacle. Not like the rest is bad, but that's what you're here for. Check it out on !

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.

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.

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 .

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.
