  1. Spring 2023 Retrospective

    Spring 2023 Retrospective

    In this episode, Jordan and Mark go over the anime they watched from Spring 2023 and give a little peek into what's to come next season. I'm gonna put an interactable question on episodes from now on I think. For now, I'm gonna make it a suggestion for a show that we should review. The first suggestion we get, we will have to review no matter what. Also this is Episode 30 now because the numbering system was bothering me. Enjoy!

  2. The Scuffed Episode with Denkigai and Aura Battler Dumbine

    The Scuffed Episode with Denkigai and Aura Battler Dumbine

    Well, yikes. It's been like half a year or something and a lot has happened. Without getting into details, life is just rough sometimes and it just is what it is. But we're back on the grind with an incredibly scuffed episode. In this one, Mark reviews Denkigai and some other stuff and Jordan reviews Aura Battler Dunbine and some other stuff. Look, just listen to it and don't think about it. Also the intro is just gone for some reason and there were technical difficulties in the middle but we still say some words with a semblance of meaning at some point in these audio clips, so its still a podcast, right?

    My Blue Cyberpunk Anime From The Other Side Is Not As I Expected, Don Glees!

    In this sort of one year anniversary special of the Anime Intellectuals Podcast, Mark and Jordan shake it up a little and do the exact same thing they've done every other episode: Go over irrelevant news poorly and then ramble through some stuff they watched in the time between episodes and try to say something interesting.
