This Just Anime‪!‬ Nicholas Meeks and Cory Skold

This week in our newly streamlined formula we're just talking about one thing, Blue Giant. It's an anime film about you guessed it, jazz, which came out a while ago but is finally available to stream this month. With the director of Mob Pschyo 100 at the helm and music by Hiromi Uehara, we were pretty excited to see this one. But did it live up to the hype? Sort of... it's complicated which is why we did a whole review for you to enjoy. We'll be back to more seasonal focu...

Maybe, It's hard to say. With life changing in somewhat significant ways as well as a series of other things we've decided to reexamine our format a little bit and change things up. We'll be going into more detail in a future episode, but we wanted to give an abbreviated powercast a shot, one with less structure and tiers and more of a top 10 new and top 5 returning respectively. We're trying things out, we're keeping things a little briefer than usual, and honestly we cover a lot of things i...

It is, and it's called Tadiama, Okaeri. Spring continues to drop a whole bunch of new shows and we're doing our level best to try and see all of them. This episode is another batch of first impressions for Spring 2024.

If you're l...

Spring is officially here and in addition to seasonal allergies we also get new seasonal anime releases! Much like allergies, some of these titles may bring tears to your eyes, but whether they're from laughter, boredom, or sadness remain to be seen. We checked out the first 14 or so new titles that dropped this season and barring a few exceptions were largely skeptical of most of what we saw. But nevertheless we've got our first batch of first impressions. We've got our first couple of romco...

Winter has come to an end and with is we've got another awardscast to get to. That being said this one is a little trimmed down compared to awardscasts in the past. Due to a combination of life things mostly we decided to trim down the categories for this particular season, but don't worry we still crown a BGBFG for the season. Honestly Winter 2024 was a pretty solid season for a variety of genres so if you're looking to see how your favorites stack up, or maybe which shows to go back to and ...

Maybe a little later than we planned, but between a couple of shows that had to wrap up their season late, a few delays, and our own personal live we managed to put out our definitive 2023 Awardscast. This is for the whole year, so all four season of anime. As per usual we start with the more recognizable categories you might see on other awards shows before devolving into our own weird subjective stuff.
