Anime Not Be For Everyone
Two anime fans briefly recount their favourite shows to a third friend, who would rather listen to just about anything else. Carefully crafted for lovers and haters of anime; prepare for a cornucopia of off-topic jibber-jabber and outlandish buffoonery.
Listen on:
Broady
Otaku? Weeaboo? Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't. We love him anyways.
The star of his own anime, Broady struts through life with the confidence of a [Insert Japanese Word Here]. Believe it or not, he has watched all 700+ episodes of Naruto AND reads the manga. Or as he would say it MAAHN-GUH. Outside of anime, Broady is going to school for broadcasting television where he hopes to make something as perfect as The Princess Bride one day.
Favourite Anime: Shonen's (Naruto/One Piece)
Favourite Movie: The Princess Bride
Favourite Game: Red Dead Redemption 2
Caleb
He grew up being taught that Pokémon were evil demon creatures. He hasn't looked back since.
Caleb's only experience with anime was the classic Saturday morning cartoon: Hamtaro. He believes that no matter what the guys get him to watch, it will never surpass the perfection of those little furry guys (but for real, he kinda hates anime). In his spare time he obsesses over the MCU and Mass Effect, so he is definitely still a complete nerd. In fact, one day he aspires to be a doctor. Oh speaking of which, please don't tell his future employers about this show.
Favourite Anime: Does Family Guy count?
Favourite Movie: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Favourite Game: Mass Effect 3
Zack
As a self-proclaimed harem enthusiast, you know he's gonna bring us those spicy anime's.
As most kids were dreaming of flying away as Superman, Zack spent his time running around his back yard trying to go Super Saiyan. Outside of anime and podcasting, Zack spends his time perfecting his Super Mario Sunshine speed runs, creating music and going on Omegle bottomless (just kidding, he isn't that guy).
Favourite Anime: Dragon Ball Z
Favourite Movie: "Video games are the best movies"
Favourite Game: Super Mario Sunshine (Ironically not a good movie)

It's the Holiday season, so you know what that means, right? It means that your favourite anime boys are too busy visiting friends and family to bless your ears with a beautiful freshly recorded episode this week... But don't worry!
Our episodes are highly edited and lot of beautiful bits don't end up making it into the final cut. UNTIL NOW! Be prepared for a gaggle of wild, off-topic bits that range from discussing the sex lives of Star Wars Force ghosts to creating a new holiday movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his trusted Time Chopper.
Talking Points: The Podcast Ghost, The Wonders of Timothy's Basement, Order 69, Jorts, Blood Bag Bob vs Garf

BOO!
It's HALLOWEEN!! That means we are back with another season of Mob Psycho 100! Y'know... the spookiest show in existence, which definitely makes sense to be a Halloween tradition. Please don't question our traditions.
Join Mob once again, as he continues to face life with unimaginable powers and a monotoned attitude. See him have a mental battle with a demonic spirit, question if his friends have good intentions, and have an all out brawl with a giant psychic mob boss. But all of that pales in comparison to his biggest challenge yet... a high school foot race.
Talking Points: The Ultimate Way To Win At Chess, Big Christian Men, Package Man vs The Jokester, Plenty of Friends

This week we venture to a land where wild and dangerous beasts, that arise from the ancient and mysterious clow cards, roam free and bring about perilous danger to everyone around them. This very serious, very metal anime, puts multiple 4th grade students lives at risk when the monsters attack. One student will use her magic staff to capture these ancient beings and harness their energy for her own needs.
Sounds pretty gritty and intense, right? Wrong!
Join us to discuss season 1 of Cardcaptor: Sakura, where everything I mentioned above is true, except it has a very cutesy filter over the entire thing. That's right, Sailor Moon outfits and a god in the shape of a Beanie Baby.
Talking Points: Totally Non-depressing Animal Facts, Nazi Herpes, A Game So Bad That Zack Passes Out, MODMAN

Enter the familiar world of Star Wars once again, with Star Wars: Visions. Comfortable, right? Wait... take a look around... Where are all the Jedi we know and love?! What part of the timeline are we in?! Why is that lightsaber shaped like an umbrella?! It doesn't really matter!
This week, we are joined by our editor and Star Wars aficionado, Stuart, to discuss season 1 of Star Wars: Visions. For this anime, a bunch of animation studios were given the rights to use droids, The Force, lightsabers and the iconic line "I've got a bad feeling about this". However, that's pretty much where the connections end, in a show where they throw Star Wars flavoured spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks.
Talking Points: Dark Vaper, 'Tis His Destiny, Duel of the Wildest Lightsabers, The Canontina
