Terrace Neighbors 53: Shitamachi Showdown It’s a windy day here in the neighborhood – at least on the Saitama side of it – and we’re feeling particularly punchy as we discuss episode 8 of Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020.

Terrace Neighbors 50: No Bones 04/13/2020

Terrace Neighbors 50: No Bones It’s our 50th episode and we completely forgot! There was just a lot going on in our lives before society came to a screeching halt. Anyway, it’s time to discuss episode 5 of Terrace House: 2019-2020! Our disdain for Haruka is solidified, Ruka finds himself at the center of an unwitting love triangle, and Kenny proves the age-old adage that any weirdo can redeem himself by soulfully strumming a guitar. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/13961549

Terrace Neighbors 48: Tiddy Burger We have another quick episode for you all this week as our housemates test the waters. It’s practically a lightning round as we discuss episode 3 of Terrace House: 2019-2020. Kenny shows off some questionable art, Risako plays nurse, and Ruka reaches new heights of adorableness. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/13561655

Open your heart to new possibilities with us as we discuss episode 1 of Terrace House: 2019-2020.

Terrace Neighbors 45: End of an Era 01/07/2020

Terrace Neighbors 45: End of an Era Pack your bags and turn in your keys, friends, because our time in this neighborhood has come to a close.

Can you believe I’ve written forty-five of these things? /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/12644114

Terrace Neighbors 44: Loose Ends 12/22/2019

Terrace Neighbors 44: Loose Ends Our time with the Boys & Girls is coming to an end, and it’s time to address the things left unsaid. We’re thinking about the future this week as we discuss episode 45 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Masako gives her answer, Riko enjoys small town fame, and Hayato decides to live his life like a shojo manga hero. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/12498344

Terrace Neighbors 43: Aftershocks 12/08/2019

Terrace Neighbors 43: Aftershocks Life in the neighborhood got thrown into chaos last week and now we’re here trying to pick up the pieces. Emotions ran high, and now it’s time to process it all as we discuss episode 44 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Riko gets trampled, Hayato puts his big villain shoes on, and somehow, despite it all, Arman keeps us rooting for heterosexual love. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/12317051

Terrace Neighbors 42: Terrace Island 11/25/2019

Terrace Neighbors 42: Terrace Island Not from successful love alone, /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/12160880

Terrace Neighbors 41: Faceplants v Pratfalls 11/12/2019

Terrace Neighbors 41: Faceplants v Pratfalls We’re in the final stretch of the season and things are getting dire in the neighborhood as we discussed episode 42 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Arman has a scare, the camera loves Masako, and Hayato proves that he might actually have a bit of a spine after all! It’s another odd one, lads. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/12001685

Terrace Neighbors 40: Smokey Swipes Right 10/28/2019

Terrace Neighbors 40: Smokey Swipes Right Please, listener, what time is it? Episode forty, you say? But that cannot be right, it’s been episode forty for twenty years!!! The concept of time itself falls apart around us as we discuss episode 41 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Misaki laughs too much, everyone gets weirdly frisky, and Masako is just about ready to set the world ablaze and watch it burn. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11803997

Terrace Neighbors 39: Fever Dream 10/16/2019

Terrace Neighbors 39: Fever Dream Strap on in, friends, for one really weird episode. There’s something in the water this week as we discuss episode 40 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Byrnes doesn’t think things through, Masako poisons the house, and EVERYONE gets familiar. Like really, really familiar. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11668859

Terrace Neighbors 38: Grande Reverence 10/07/2019

Terrace Neighbors 38: Grande Reverence Turn in your pointe shoes because it’s time for what we hope is the last big member shake-up of the season! There are only a handful of episodes left as we discuss episode 39 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Momoka has a harsh realization, Arman goes for a swim, and Misaki and Byrnes continue to be entirely wholesome. Healthy communication and boundaries in *my* Terrace House??? It’s more likely than you’d think. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11549750

Terrace Neighbors 37: Strange Inventions & Plated Wares 10/02/2019

Terrace Neighbors 37: Strange Inventions & Plated Wares (This is an audio rip of our special video episode. We recommend you stream the video here: https://youtu.be/dfIfkONksYQ The audio is slightly less horrendous.) /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11478530

Terrace Neighbors 36: Giveth and Taketh 09/22/2019

Terrace Neighbors 36: Giveth and Taketh ‘Tis a time of change here in the neighborhood as new bonds are forged and old ones are shaken.

Terrace Neighbors 35: Teru Teru Bozo 09/15/2019

Terrace Neighbors 35: Teru Teru Bozo Blow your nose and wipe away your tears because it’s time to put the past behind us and look into the beautiful, chiseled future! It’s Yuuto who??? here in the neighborhood as we discuss episode 36 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Riko has craft time, Misaki gets a second chance, and our new housemate is so dreamy that we all think we can learn to love again. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11168393

Terrace Neighbors 34: Heart 2 Heart 09/08/2019

Riko continues to fret, Yuuto confesses his love, and we all have a good cry. Catharsis! /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11154119

Terrace Neighbors 33: Wasshoi 09/01/2019

Terrace Neighbors 33: Wasshoi You know that gene that makes cilantro taste like soap? And no matter how little cilantro is in a dish, the soap taste is so strong that it dominates everything else? Just like cilantro, we’ve got one talking point as we discuss episode 34 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Arman gets involved, Taylor talks idols, and Hayato somehow has not even been a little bit murdered yet. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11078363

Terrace Neighbors 32: Into the Sin Bin 08/26/2019

Terrace Neighbors 32: Into the Sin Bin It’s a post-Hayato world and we’re just living in it. We fully embody that Larry David gif this week as we discuss episode 33 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. The tenets of yakiniku are broken, Arman powers up, and Hayato continues to make everything deeply uncomfortable. This is just our lives now, I guess. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/11003930

Terrace Neighbors 31: Omelette du Fromage 08/18/2019

Terrace Neighbors 31: Omelette du Fromage It’s another week of emotional whiplash as we get yanked from despair to excitement to despair again. Strap on in, steel yourself, and join us as we discuss episode 32 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. Hikaru has more friends than we thought, two new additions join the house, and Natsumi goes out in the most poetic way possible: not with a bang but a whimper. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/10911353

Terrace Neighbors 30: Natsumi Rights Activist 08/13/2019

Terrace Neighbors 30: Natsumi Rights Activist Hey, Listener, take a seat, we need to have a talk. It’s rejection week here in the neighborhood as we discuss episode 31 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. We got romantic rejection, platonic rejection, rejection for all occasions! Hikaru makes a choice, Misaki puts her foot down, and Natsumi am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me? /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/10870781

Terrace Neighbors 29: Straight Pride 08/04/2019

Terrace Neighbors 29: Straight Pride I have to warn you, there is nothing to be found in this episode but pure, unfettered heterosexuality. This is the kind of episode that prompted filmmakers in the 80s and 90s to wonder if men and women can truly be friends. It’s episode 30 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City! Natsumi refuses any and all character development, Hikaru continues to put in the least amount of effort, and Misaki takes a leap of faith. We will now be a Fire Emblem podcast from here on out. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/10769987

Terrace Neighbors 28: Miss-guided 08/04/2019

Terrace Neighbors 28: Miss-guided You know how sitcoms will sometimes shoehorn in a new baby when the original baby starts getting too old? I don’t know where I’m going with this, but it’s something to mull over as we discuss episode 29 of Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City. The house gets a new little sister character, Taylor talks school-sanctioned beauty pageants, and Misaki tries to do a Seduction. Yes, Terrace House is THAT kind of anime. /episode/index/show/terraceneighbors/id/10769846
