    Guilty Pleasures - Shame on You, Your Family, and Your Cow

    We all have at least one, right? Maybe it's from a genre you usually avoid. Maybe it's a little controversial. Maybe it's known for having more plot than actual story (if you know what I mean). Maybe it's just outright bad. Whatever the case, we all have shows we're a little less proud of enjoying, but no more! This episode, we take a look at some of our favorite shows of ill repute! From shows made for kids to shows made by 4Kids; from basic trash to outright dumpster fires, these are our guilty pleasures! *This episode was originally recorded and set to be published on March 25th, 2021. Due to audio mishaps and Suede not being overly eager to bring more shame on his family, release was noticeably delayed. We apologize for any inconvenience.* (00:00 - 21:08) Intro and Banter (21:08 - 29:45) Hot Topical Apocalypses fictional and actual this week as we talk about the upcoming Terminator anime and the COVID status in Japan.

    Studio Shaft: Storytelling from a Different Angle

    Lions and vampires and witches, oh my! Today, we're diving in on one of the most unusual animation companies around, Shaft! Hold on to your Soul Gem, and maybe grab some donuts, because this is gonna be a wild ride! (0:00 - 6:27) Introduction (6:27 - 14:30) Evangelion 4: Mini-Review Chris and Suede share some quick thoughts after watching the final Evangelion movie. (14:30 - 30:50) Hot Topical Chris talks about Hololive's announcement for EN Generation 2. Additionally, we talk about the upcoming Star Wars anime. Hayao Miyazaki justifies making his son into a director. Lupin III is getting an isekai manga. Funimation buys out Crunchyroll. (30:50 - 1:36:53) Shaft, A HIstory We start at the humble beginnings in 1975 and go all the up until the present (the present being Summer 2021). A majority of their works are discussed as well as some of the key people involved. ( 1:36:53 - 1:43:51) Shaft's Style and Philosophy A quick breakdown of what makes a Shaft anime different. (1:43:51 - 1:47:22) Outro Question of the Day: What is your favorite Shaft anime? (1:48:01 - 1:50:28) Bonus Chris teaches Suede about Strike Witches. Subscribe and/or follow us for future episodes!

    Summer 2021 Season Preview - Drowning in Isekai

    Guess who's back, back again. That's right, and this time around, Suede and Chris are taking a look at many of the new shows this summer season. How many, you ask? Too many. Dragon maids, opera schools, and more isekai than truck-kun could ever hope to hit, this season has it all. Which ones do we think will rise to the top? Which ones will sink like a stone? Find out in this episode of Deep Anime Dive! Time Stamps: (0:00 - 10:24) Introduction Chris and Suede chat about what kind of antics they've been up to. (10:24 - 11:38) Hot Topical There's some kind of sport thing going on in Japan right now. (11:38 - 14:17) Summer Preview Debut! (14:17 - 16:25) My Hero Academia: Season 5 Chris breaks down some of the issues he has with the latest season. (16:25 - 19:29) The Dungeon of Black Company A decent enough isekai comedy about a scummy guy getting endlessly beat down by his own karma. (19:29 - 23:25) Kageki Shoujo A slice-of-life anime that takes place in an "opera school" of sorts. It had a promising start. (23:25 - 28:16) Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan Depression comedy about a children's TV show host who is desperately trying to find meaning in his life. (28:19 - 33:03) Girlfriend, Girlfriend Harem anime where the MC decides, "Why not date all of them? What could go wrong?" Suede likes it; Chris is on the fence. (33:03 - 37:13) The Honor at Magic High School Spin-off sequel of The Irregular at Magic High School. Suede didn't know that when he watched it but he can confirm it is probably best to watch Irregular first. (37:13 - 41:24) Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Season 2 Dragons! Maids! If you liked season 1, you'll like season 2. If you haven't watched season 1, we would strongly recommend you check it out; it's a good one. (41:24 - 46:45) How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Isekai about a guy who saves a kingdom through sound fiscal policies and lengthy diplomatic meetings. If you enjoyed the economic escapades of Spice and Wolf, check this one out. It's honestly good. (46:45 - 51:45) That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 Season 2 has a lot less action and lot more talking. Chris says the story and characters are still just as good though. (51:45 - 57:59) Tsukimichi - Moonlit Fantasy Isekai where the hero is rejected by the goddess for being too ugly so he decides he's going to build his own world, with blackjack and hookers. Off to a good start. Recommended for those who like over-powered MC's and/or spider girls. (57:59 - 1:02:22) My Next Life as a Villainess Season 2 Continuation of the reverse-harem isekai. Looks to be as good as season 1. (1:02:22 - 1:09:37) Remake Our Life MC gets a chance to re-do his college years and finally realize his dream. Recommended for those who like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou or Eizouken. (1:09:37 - 1:15:12) Jahy-Sama Will Not Be Defeated! Reverse isekai where Jahy must find a way to survive in the human world without her powers or minions to back her up. Will she be defeated? Never! Will she cry? Absolutely! (1:15:12 - 1:21:41) The Duke of Death and His Maid An unusual, fairytale romance story about a boy who kills everything he touches and a maid who teases him endlessly. While there is some comedy, it's actually a much more serious anime than it first appears. Suede highly recommends giving it a shot. (1:21:41 - 1:26:44) Love Live! Superstar! The newest season of Love Live gets two big thumbs up from Chris. If you like idols, moe-blob, or light hearted slice-of-life anime, this is a great one for you. (1:26:44 - 1:33:35) Peach Girl Riverside A promising adventure fantasy with a horribly botched release schedule. Wait until all 12 episodes are out so you can watch the show in chronological...

    Winter 2021 Season Review - I am Normal and so Can You!

    After a prolonged absence full of tech issues and lost audio, we are back! This time around Chris and Suede will be talking about their favorites (and least favorites) of the past season.

Time Stamps: (0:00 - 3:10) Introduction (3:10 - 16:50) Hot Topical Suede shares some sad news regarding the Nijisanji Vtuber agency. We follow it up with some good news about the new Evangelion movie. Has Hideaki Anno saved the series? (16:53 - 1:25:11) Winter 2021 Review Suede and Chris talk about their top picks as well as some duds. Chris once again watched way more anime than Suede and maintains his Lord Weeb title for another season. Suede's Favorite: Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki Chris's Favorite: Re:Zero Season 2 Part 2 (1:25:12 - 1:31:59) Outro Apologies once again for the "break" and, hopefully, we can un-lose some of the missing episodes soon.
