Status Quo At All Costs (My Hero Academia Season 6) Time for episode 145! Still My Hero Academia, but this time it's season 6!

The PLF Wants You! (My Hero Academia Season 5) Episode 144 is here! And we watched season 5 of My Hero Academia, which may be the weakest season so far. Granted, that's largely because of a middling first half. At least the second half is a signifcant improvement, even with the somewhat messy Todoroki family stuff. Oh yeah, there's also the third movie. Check out MHA on (or one of the many other streaming services it's on)!

All You Need Is LOV (My Hero Academia Season 3) Time for episode 142! We watched season 3 of My Hero Academia!

Fantasy and Medicine (Winter 2025 Anime) Episode 141 is here! And it's winter, which means winter anime! Four of them, for this episode.

So Nice They Did It Thrice! (Love Live! Superstar!! Season 3) Time for episode 139! Love Live! Superstar!! got its third (and probably final) season! So we watched it. All the character arcs had to come to a conclusion this season, and they largely nailed it. Which is a great comeback from the more lackluster second season. Check it out on .

Plus Ultra! (My Hero Academia Season 1) 12/30/2024

Plus Ultra! (My Hero Academia Season 1) Episode 138 is here! And it's the last episode of 2024. So to round off the year, we decided to start a shounen anime. Namely, My Hero Academia! And for now, only season 1. And watching it, it became pretty clear why people liked it in the first place. You can check it out just about anywhere that streams anime. Like .

Nice Boat (School Days) 12/11/2024

Nice Boat (School Days) Welcome to episode 137! We watched the legendary School Days. But you should know it's not legendary for its quality. If anything, "trainwreck" is a good word for it. If you really want to, you can watch it on . Content Warning: The anime contains blood, gore, infidelity, and possible rape. The visual novel series it's based on also contains incest. These are discussed in the podcast. "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/34392575

That Band (Girls Band Cry) 11/27/2024

That Band (Girls Band Cry) Time for episode 136! We talked about Girls Band Cry, the original cg animated anime that came out earlier this year! The one that's about a band forming and all the drama and baggage that comes with it. And to be honest, it largely exceeds expectations. Check out out on !

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. Varying degrees of good, but still good. Check them out: Content Warning: DAN DA DAN contains a depiction of attempted sexual assault.

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. You can see for yourself on . Content Warning: This anime has depictions of blood and gore, murder and suicide. These are mentioned in the podcast.

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. 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 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/33477697

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) 08/13/2024

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. 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 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/32566387

Coda (Hibike! Euphonium 3) 07/24/2024

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! Specifically, A Certain Scientific Railgun T, the third season of the good part of the franchise. And good news, this season lives up to the previous two. Check it out on .

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. In this anime, two teenagers struggle with their gender identities. And as you might guess, it's a bit messy. And unfortunately, not currently available on any streaming service.

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. However... it's actually kinda... just okay? We get into why. Check it out on .

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 . "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/31513097

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 !

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. Check them all out: "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 () /episode/index/show/newtoweeaboo/id/31065818

It's Always A Mimic (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) 04/17/2024

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. Because we spoil a lot about it, and what makes it so special to watch. Check it out on .

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. And here, nearly 30 years later, it's still fantastic. And thought-provoking. Check it out on or (English dub only).

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 !
