Anime Not Be For Everyone

EP66 - AnimeNotBe May Not Be For Everyone Part 4

Surprise! This blooper/bonus episode drops a week early because we got busy with our two favourite holidays - the one about hope, and the one about dope.
So prepare your ears as we talk about all kinds of wacky nonsense, including: arguing over movie theatre subtitles, worshiping the Deer God, mom-cuddling etiquette, accidentally stumbling across pee videos, and that one time Zack got shot through the heart.
Yeah... buckle-up. These episodes are always insane.

EP65 - Dragon Ball: Jeez

In an age where terrible live-action remakes of beloved classics have overtaken modern media, take a step back with us as we explore one of the first (and worst) examples: Dragon Ball: Evolution. 
Even people who know nothing about anime have heard of Dragon Ball and the legendary Goku. So, how would you try to make this classic anime more “approachable” to a wider audience? Well… how about we start by putting Goku in high school. Maybe give him a very Spider-Man-esque bully showdown? Hmm... More focus on on teen romance and not the imminent world-ending peril? Wait, I got it! My pièce de résistance… let's make Goku white!

EP64 - DongDaDong

The world of the occult is a dark and mysterious place with many unknowns. So what do you choose to believe in? Otherworldly spirits held back from the afterlife to fulfill their worldly duties? Aliens from outer space who have come to study us? Well, I hate to break it to you, but both are real and all they want is the energy you hide in your genitals. Sorry!
This week, come on a wild ride with us as we start the first season of DanDaDan, a stand-out anime for both Zack and Broady! Witness a nerdy kid with glasses and a fangirling-popular chick team up as they discover the truth of the world and face off against banana-stealing aliens, a Turbo Granny with crabs, and a sumo alien the size of 5 GMC Yukons.
