Under the Kotatsu

What started off as an excuse for us to pay tribute to the late, great Akira Toriyama somehow turned into us reliving the entire 1989 Toei Manga Matsuri movie lineup. So join as we have a great time with Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone and Mobile Cop Jiban: Great Explosion at the Monster Factory of Fear, and then have an alright time with the Akko-Chan and Akuma-Kun movies.

We finished Bocchi! Let's all hope they make another season though because this show was great. Filled with great music and animation, this is the new anime we've watched for the podcast, and it did not let us down!

We continue the theme of anime about bands with a completely different show than given: Bocchi the Rock!

We say our goodbyes to given by watching the first movie and the OVA (sadly we must wait for the English release of the second movie), and feast on all the nasty, juicy drama between Haruki, Kaji, and Ugetsu... oh, and I guess Mafuyu and Uenoyama are there too.

We're not done with given yet, but we are done with the 11 episode TV anime. We bear witness to the power of rock music to let two boys fall in love and process emotional trauma. We also manage to find some time to complain about our least favorite British rock band yet again. Real ones already know which band.

We're moving on from gay skating to gays in a band with given! The first half of this show is mostly setup, but we still have a good time talking about the boys and their homosexual musical escapades. But before we can get to any of that, it's our 3 year anniversary! Which means it's time for another ranking of all the anime we've watched. Anime Discussed: given 1-5

We've completed our short program, so now it's time for the free skate as we talk about the second half of Yuri on Ice! We've much to talk about like kissing, wedding rings, JJ style, pork cutlet pirozhkis and more! Anime Discussed: Yuri on Ice 7-12 Next time: Given 1-5 + 3 Year Anniversary Rankings!

Oops! Someone spilled some gay into my sports anime. We're here to talk about the first half of Yuri on Ice! A show that honestly doesn't need an introduction. If you're listening to this, you probably know about the gay figure skating anime already. Anime Discussed: Yuri on Ice 1-6 Next time: Yuri on Ice 7-12 Send us your questions!

We're back! After taking a break we're back to talk about... a J-drama, a visual novel, and a tokusatsu show? That's right! It's time for a special non-anime show and tell episode. We've got three very different things to share, from an endearing drama with a cute sci-fi premise, to a visual novel about queerness and devils, to a tokusatsu show about a certain p

We finished Canaan! This show was an absolute train wreck by the end, but that didn't stop us from having a good time talking about just how much of a train wreck it was. Maybe you should play 428 Shibuya Scramble instead and skip this anime.
