Hang out with us— or just me, I mean, as I recap seasonal anime episodes in painstaking detail. We’re going to go in order, so you don’t even need to know anything about whichever anime I’m following to enjoy it. Not that I think you’ll enjoy this. You better not. Or else. Seriously though, I hope I can add just a little bit of weirdness to your day.

Banana Fish Ep. 16- Lo, the Poor Peacock

Nov 21 2024 52 mins  
Is it possible for Max and Shunichi to help Ash escape the National Mental Health Institute without causing major, major problems for him? Is this show finally going to have consensual sex in it? Will Ash have to walk through Manhattan in a skirt? All things are possible in Banana Fish! That's sexual harassment, Max: [email protected]

Banana Fish Ep. 15- The Garden of Eden

Nov 14 2024 52 mins  
You made it through Ep. 15 of Banana Fish and all you get is this terrible podcast! How is Ash like a candy bar? Do you really wanna know? (probably not) Besides the sex stuff, there's murder and lobotomies, hooray! Y'know I used to be pretty famous in Times Square, Eiji: [email protected]

Banana Fish Ep. 14- Tender is the Night

Nov 07 2024 53 mins  
Ash in the hospital worrying about Eiji seeing him like that, while Eiji's in jail wondering what he even meant. Eiji unfortunately meets Yut-Lung again and Ash has a (not very) surprising knowledge of high end menswear, that I very much doubt is related to his IQ. Also, he's terrified of those nurses. You gotta understand, I never even made it through elementary school, Mr. Halper

Banana Fish Ep. 13- The Snows of Kilimanjaro

Oct 31 2024 56 mins  
Happy Halloween, come get vulnerable with me! (I didn't expect to cry while taking notes, recording the episode, AND editing it) Ash explains the similarities between him and a dead leopard as Eiji listens in horror. He also has nightmares constantly. This is all so wonderful. There's also a knife fight and a train ride to Coney Island. I don't want you seeing me like this, Eiji: m

Banana Fish Ep.12- To Have and Have Not

Oct 24 2024 49 mins  
Ash and Eiji have an argument about Ash murdering "innocent" gang members and we meet Cain and the Black Sabbath gang. Ash sees Dino off at the airport. Hopefully he doesn't actually bring back a taxidermist.. I talk more about the fawn threat response and defend Ash's actions because I am obviously insane. Stay away or I'll cry, Eiji: [email protected]

Banana Fish Ep. 11- The Beautiful and Damned

Oct 17 2024 55 mins  
Did you know that the outline of Ash's hair is a weird color? Well, you do now. Ash and Eiji spend some quiet time together and Ash shares some of his darkest secrets and cries a lot. He also steals. I awkwardly suggest we take a field trip to Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant and tell you about my tattoo (which you can see here, if that would make you happy https://imgur.c

Banana Fish Ep.10- Babylon Revisited

Oct 10 2024 46 mins  
Lots of murder and guns in this episode, folks! I get super excited when Ash asks Eiji, "Do I scare you?" and the gang gets super confused by how protective their boss is of this random Japanese kid. We talk about the Bishonen trope and I say some really embarrassing things but decide not to cut them out of the episode. I'll protect you, Eiji: [email protected]

Banana Fish Ep. 9- Save Me The Waltz

Oct 03 2024 50 mins  
Well, our main crew are being held at Golzine's mansion, so I think it's safe to assume some very not good things are going to happen to them. What things? Do you really want to know? Probably someone is going to die, and probably someone is going to get a lesson in empathy. This is the world Ash lives in, Eiji: [email protected]

Banana Fish Ep. 8- Banal Story

Sep 26 2024 42 mins  
Eiji gets abducted and threatened with a fate similar to Ash's. Which is, according to Arthur and Shorter, a fate worse than death. Always good to know that both your enemy and your best friend think your life is hell. Not that they're wrong, just, ouch. We also learn a little bit more about the Government's involvement with Banana Fish and Ash comforts a crying child who's seen wa

Banana Fish Ep. 7- The Rich Boy

Sep 19 2024 45 mins  
The gang is in LA! They're meeting new friends (?) and hanging out in a mansion! I'm sure this episode will not be upsetting at all. Oh, did you know that Ash carries around a flash drive to help him hack into computers? I did. Let me tell you about all the things I missed the first time I watched and gush a little about Asheiji. But really, is Shorter actually gonna betray Ash? Go
