Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #135 - Angry Goth Horses in Your Neighborhood

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 17:19:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to cover the anime that aired during Week 8 of the Spring 2020 season. In the latest episode of Wave, Listen to Me, we learn the hilarious story behind Minare’s strange name. Shinako is finally starting to confront her true feelings for Rikuo, while Rikuo wonders why he’s relieved that they haven’t take things to the next level, in the latest episode of Sing Yesterday. My Next Life as a Villainness engages in some isekai-ception, which has us wondering how deep the layers of isekai will go. An otherwise cute episode of Kakushigoto, about Hime naming their new dog and wanting a birthday party, also drip feeds us more info about her mother’s past. It becomes clear that Akito views Tohru Honda as his rival for the love of the Soma family, and it seems they’re going to end up on a collision course as Fruits Basket’s drama continues to build. Princess Connect falls victim to the episode 8 curse, and panders to its gacha game audience. Kaguya continues its excellent, but frustrating run, with a big tease where we almost see the main characters trick themselves into breaking through their détente. And finally, BNA’s latest episode teaches us that all cops are dogs, literally.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #134 - Truck-kun Has Retroactively Isekai'd You

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 12:00:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to chat about anime that aired during Week 7 of the Spring 2020 season. Our discussion of Wave, Listen to Me notes the reference to the movie In the Realm of the Senses, but Bcom forgets to mention that this was based on the real-life story of murderous Japanese geisha Sada Abe. We don’t necessarily love the way Yesterday wo Utatte keeps treading water, but we do love the new shmup-styled ED. We learn retroactively that truck-kun claimed another victim – the villainess, Catarina. But Catarina isn’t the only real-world person isekai’d into Fortune Lover… Kakushigoto gets us thinking about our pet’s life expectancy, which is depressing and sad, and becomes even more so when the show draws parallels to Hime’s parents. We struggle to determine whether Shigure is better or worse than Sugar Ray in the latest episode of Fruits Basket, and discuss American vs. Japanese recreational traditions. Princess Connect shows its gacha game roots by introducing more characters without laying the groundwork for us to care about them, but still manages to pull off some nice character development for Pecorine and Karyl. Bcom and Leo talk about their sordid past underwear stylings to discover if they are manwhores according to Yuu Ishigami. BNA touches on the politics of border controls, immigration, and refugee crises in its latest episode focuses on the plight of migratory bird beastmen.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #133 - Flying With Your Balls and Midseason Cuts

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 8 Jun 2020 14:47:00 -0400

Leo, Kat and Bcom are back to chat about anime that aired during Week 6 of the Spring 2020 season. It’s midseason again, and that means it’s time to decide which shows to keep, and which shows to drop as we move forward. Things are getting awfully fishy in the latest episode of Wave, Listen to Me, and we pitch the idea for a new product called “gamer girl kuchikamizake.” We rave about Rikuo’s ex-girlfriend, Chika, in Sing “Yesterday” and wonder how we’d react if our ex-partners forced their way back into our lives. We worry that Bakarina can’t feel safe even when surrounded by her closest friends and family, because it turns out they’re pretty creepy sometimes. Clair undergoes a very strange “ritual” to determine whether she is trustworthy to join a new group of gatherers in the latest episode of Gleipnir. We get into a big argument that comes down to, “whose hat was it?!” when discussing Fruits Basket. The producers of Princess Connect decided to pay Kana Hanazawa good money to talk to a stump of wood for about 5 minutes, and it was money well spent. It’s student council election time in Kaguya-sama, as Miyuki and Miko face off in an epic debate in front of the entire school. With Nazuna’s introduction, our conversation on BNA inevitably goes off the rails into a full-on discussion on cults and religion. We then discuss potential replacement shows before moving into a lengthy bargaining session while deciding midseason cuts.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #132 - Bakarina's Harem is Basically a Pokédex

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 6 Jun 2020 12:59:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to talk about anime that aired during Week 5 of the Spring 2020 season. The latest episode of Wave, Listen to Me was ruined by turtle poop. A romantic rival for Haru appears in Sing Yesterday, and Bcom grows somewhat more irritated by both Shinako and Haru for falling into the same unproductive patterns. Bakarina wins over the main heroine’s mother with some farming and kindness. Gleipnir continues to depict the sweatiest legs in anime. Arisa meets a new Souma, and becoming attached to him might lead her to be caught up in more Souma family drama. We get into a rant about skimpy outfits in anime in our coverage of Princess Connect, where the girls have to rescue Yuuki from a nightmare hospital. Chika’s maternal instincts kick in once again as Miyuki needs a mommy to guide him through his traumatic singing experiences. Finally, we talk about the latest episode of Baseball New Animal, which is the latest in a long tradition of great individual baseball episodes in non-sports anime.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #131 - 90s Windows Were Weaker

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 1 Jun 2020 12:40:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo, and Kat are back to chat about anime that aired during Week 4 of the Spring 2020 season. Minare continues to fend off Nakahara’s romantic advances until a strange, opportunistic woman shows up at the curry restaurant in Wave, Listen to Me. Bcom was very confused about a Rikuo doppelganger in the latest episode of Sing Yesterday. Bakarina continues to be oblivious to the effect she’s having on the people around her, and continues to strategize to avoid being exiled from the magical academy in My Next Life as a Villainess. We discuss the ups and downs of the trashy writing in the latest episode of Gleipnir. Leo decides that 90s windows weren’t as strong in explaining the events of the latest Fruits Basket episode. Kat can confirm there is in fact a llama girl introduced in the newest episode of Princess Connect, while Leo explains how wood-chopping works. Bcom enjoys the Bakemonogatari and Tanya the Evil references in the latest episode Kaguya-sama. Leo is annoyed that some ignorant humans don’t understand that dolphins breathe air, not water, in the latest episode of BNA.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #130 - You Don't Deserve That Umbrella

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 24 May 2020 18:53:00 -0400

Leo, Kat and Bcom are back to chat about anime that aired during Week 3 of the Spring 2020 season. Minare discovers she isn’t the high-functioning drunk she always believed she was in the latest episode of Wave, Listen to Me. Episode 3 of Sing Yesterday convinces Bcom that Haru is a more multi-dimensional character than he had initially thought, and we all have a lot to say about this developing love quadrangle. The “Villainess” Katarina adds another girl to her growing harem before jumping into a time-skip that leads into the actual beginning of the otome game. We meet Clair’s mysterious sister Elena in the latest episode of Gleipnir, and she is very jealous upon finding Clair inside of Shuuichi’s suit. Yuki continues to find the courage to reach out to the people around him more often in Fruits Basket 2nd season. Leo is impressed by how the first three episodes of Princess Connect have crafted an interesting world, with hilarious characters, and have now laid out a roadmap for exploring their collective appetite for fried rice, among other delicious meals. Bcom argues that Kaguya season 1 truly should’ve ended with the ending of episode 3 of season 2, as it seems to be a natural, satisfying stopping point. Finally, the shady practices of Sylvasta Pharmaceutical are hinted at being connected with whatever made Michiru transform into a Beastman in BNA.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #128 - Winter 2020 Wrap-up and Final Scores

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 09:30:00 -0400

Leo, Kat, and Bcom are back to finish off the Winter 2020 anime season with reviews of episodes from weeks 12 and 13. We have a lot of nonsense to talk about since we haven’t recorded for a few weeks and we’ve seen a lot of good, and bad, things in the meantime. We review the final episodes of all the anime we followed, and also talk briefly about some shows we watched outside of the podcast. Finally, we give our final scores and thoughts on the shows we watched in Winter season, and look forward to the Spring 2020 season…or what’s left of it.

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 26 Apr 2020 11:30:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo and Kat are back to break down the 11th week of the Winter 2020 anime season. Bcom breaks down an enormously impactful episode of Chihayafuru 3 where Chihaya and Taichi finally hash out their feelings. Hearing the buzzing sound of a drone in Eizouken gave Leo traumatic flashbacks of drone attacks in Call of Duty. We finally discover the identity of John Walker in an information-packed episode of ID: Invaded. Dorohedoro gives us key character backstory with En’s own hype movie, but also derails into a weird food contest than leaves Bcom annoyed by the show’s proclivity for wasting time. The Seton Academy girls continue their long-established tradition of enjoying gourmet animal poop. It seems like BOFURI is saving its remaining animation budget for the final episode as episode 11 looked pretty lackluster. Besides the revelation that male Incubi have two hearts (one for their body, and one for their dick), the penultimate episode of Interspecies Reviewers was a bit of a letdown.

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 25 Apr 2020 13:49:00 -0400

Kat, Bcom, and Leo return to talk about the 10th week of the Winter 2020 anime season. After watching Chihayafuru, Leo suggests that anime girls could just microwave chocolates for Valentine’s Day, and it’s not even that hard. The Eizouken girls channel their Studio Ghibli counterparts as they close in on finishing their final animation project. Narihisago tries to determine his true reality in the id well within an id well that he inhabits for over a year in ID: Invaded. Kat proposes the question whether you would choose to sign a piece of flesh paper from within your chest in order to get “married” like partner sorcerers in Dorohedoro have to do. Ranka has gone into heat and as you would expect, all hell breaks loose at Seton Academy. Bcom gets really upset when opposing guild members attack Syrup the turtle in the latest episode of BOFURI. Kiyoko’s backstory in Haikyuu reminds us of another track injury backstory from the anime After the Rain. The Reviewers go to Disney’s Magical Kingdom of Sex and bang happily ever after.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #125 - Perpetually Stuck in Class B Yaoi

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 15:55:00 -0400

Leo, Kat, and Bcom are back to discuss the 9th week of the Winter 2020 anime season. An intense showdown between Taichi and Arata triggers Kat’s yaoi alarms. It turns out the Eizouken club is just as underpaid as real-life animators are for the extreme amount of work they do. We begin to piece together the endgame of ID: Invaded as several revelations come to light. Bcom re-watches Dorohedoro several times to make sense of the latest info-packed episode. He also bangs his head against a wall as Kat believes the breast size comparison scenes in anime are not only realistic, but that guys compare dick sizes in locker rooms on a regular basis as well. We discuss whether Maple’s guild in BOFURI could’ve utilized a better strategy in their capture-the-orb event, before we devolve into debating the fanservice in the show. Leo gets insanely triggered by Daichi’s cell-phone alarm tone being the sound of dogs barking, while Bcom otherwise enjoys some good character-building in the latest episode of Haikyu. Since we’ve inevitably come to the necrophilia portion of Interspecies Reviewers, we discuss the various downsides of the practice, whether it be smell, temperature, or general creepiness.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #124 - Become as Machine Gods

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 13:11:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to break down the 8th week of the Winter 2020 anime season. We admonish Arata for not practicing social distancing in the latest episode of Chihayafuru. Leo has some unique issues with Tsubame’s manta ray costume for the cultural festival, in what is otherwise one of Eizouken’s best episodes yet. If ID: Invaded wasn’t already similar enough to Inception, they find an id well within an id well this episode. Kat makes sense of the convoluted series of events leading up to the Blue Night in Dorohedoro. The Seton Academy characters have a whale of a time becoming aquatic performers. If you thought the power creep was out of control for Maple in Bofuri before this episode…you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. We might finally be done with practice matches in this season of Haikyuu. The Interspecies Reviewers hit up the Build-A-Bear workshop of brothels, and choose their own adventure.

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 11:34:00 -0400

Kat, Bcom, and Leo are back to break down the 7th week of the Winter 2020 anime season. This episode contains some hilariously outdated takes on Coronavirus. We were all so optimistic back in early March. Bcom is disappointed that the Queen match doesn’t get enough focus in the latest episode of Chihayafuru. We learn about Tsubame’s long history of studying human movements and how it informs her animation in Eizouken. ID: Invaded reveals the identity of the main villain, John Walker, but we get the feeling we can’t take the writers at their word. Bcom is ecstatic as Dorohedoro delivers one of the best animated baseball episodes he’s seen in anime. We learn that Honey Badgers love the feeling of pain in the latest episode of Seton Academy. The BOFURI characters decide to try their hand at speedrunning dungeons to get even more broken upgrades than before. We find out that Tsukishima could jump higher if he wasn’t such a lazy bitch, in Haikyu. We talk about some thicc eggs in our discussion of the latest Interspecies Reviewers episode, which succeeds at one-upping an infamous Monster Musume episode.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #121 - The Mystery of the Ball State Larping Disaster

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 14 Mar 2020 03:17:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to break down the 5th week of the Winter 2020 anime season. Bcom talks about Chihayafuru, but his voice floats into a soundless void where no one but Shinobu can hear him. We get into a discussion about the safety concerns at the Eizouken girls’ school, which leads Leo to debunk a myth about Kat’s university. During our conversation about ID: Invaded, we figure out what the results of drilling holes in your head has in common with the plots of Beastars and American Pie. Our Dorohedoro segment devolves into an advertisement for Texas Roadhouse. Chimpanzees cheat on Seton Academy’s field day, but Bcom is too distracted by a random “skunk” girl to really care. Maple becomes a walking environmental disaster in the latest episode of BOFURI. Haikyu continues to proceed a little slower than we would like. Between mushroom lolis and Cyclops eye fetishes, all of our hosts are pushed a bit too far by this week’s episode of Interspecies Reviewers.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #120 - Unrealistic Wolf Licking

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 7 Mar 2020 20:27:00 -0500

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to talk about the 4th week of the Winter 2020 anime season! Bcom recaps the lead-up to the Meijin and Queen match in the latest episode of Chihayafuru. We argue over whether Eizouken’s imagination sequences are worthwhile or whether the show would be more effective in a documentary format. Bcom breaks down how ID: Invaded references an early 20th century detective story this episode. Dorohedoro goes balls to the wall with some of its craziest plot developments and animation yet. We talk more than we really should about what is realistic vs. unrealistic wolf licking when it comes to Seton Academy. BOFURI introduces the cutest turtle in the history of anime – get rekt Squirtle – and Maple appropriately names him Syrup. Tall guys sometimes need a boost to their confidence to as we learn in the latest episode of Haikyu. And finally, we close out the episode with a scintillating and titillating review of the latest escapes of the Interspecies Reviewers.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #119 - Children of the Porn

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 15:16:00 -0500

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to talk about the 3rd week of the Winter 2020 anime season! We chat about the Heian period practice of “morning after” poems, stemming from the latest episode of Chihayafuru. Bcom loved the Eizouken club’s conflict over prioritizing rule-of-cool or sakuga animation for their first project, although Sayaka’s steel chompers distracted Leo. ID:INVADED still has us arguing over how to pronounce the title. The cast of Dorohedoro basically find themselves in a George Romero zombie movie this episode, and we lose our heads over the background art and OP. Leo wishes he had his own pride of gal lion girls, while Kat ponders how tiny naked mole rats make love to their half-human queen in Seton Academy. Kat imagines a real-life fruit that tastes like a Starburst, inspired by the inventive food and wine that characters can eat on level 2 in BOFURI. Leo enjoyed Haikyu! Leo enjoyed a sports anime! Rejoice! Unfortunately, Kat watched a censored version of Interspecies Reviewers while Leo and Bcom watched the episode in all its glory, which leads to a LOT of pointless arguing. Nonetheless, our bickering is hilarious.

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back with the second half of their first impressions of the Winter 2020 anime season!

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back…from the future…with a review of weeks 3 and 4 of the Fall 2019 anime season. As you’ll hear Leo say at the beginning of this episode, we were “trying to catch up,” but we totally didn’t. This episode was delayed for various reasons, but mostly because Bcom had a lot on his plate towards the end of 2019 and couldn’t get the episode edited. Despite the tardiness of the episode, we hope our listeners will still enjoy our early thoughts on the shows we chose to follow during the Fall season, and our usual shenanigans.

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back with the second half of their first impressions of the Fall 2019 anime season! Bcom kicks off the podcast by dishing out info on all of the anime screenings he saw in or around AnimeNYC. These included Konosuba – Legend of Crimson, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, Fragtime, and Weathering With You. Then we cover the second half of new premieres for the season. Bcom explains why Kandagawa Jet Girls is the greatest anime of our generation. The Stars have aligned, whether they be Beast or human, but Leo’s more concerned with beasts Rising Up. Kat and Leo try to understand Chihayafuru since they ignored Bcom’s pleadings over the past year to catch up on the previous seasons of the show, which was as frustrating as it was hilarious. Kat makes a case for covering My Hero Academia season 4, and Leo makes a case for only paying attention to the pictures while “reading” the manga. Stay tuned until the final segment of the podcast where we vote on the top 8 shows that we’ll be following throughout this season.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #111 - There Were Elevens

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 4 Nov 2019 15:59:00 -0500

Kat, Leo, and Bcom discuss the 11th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! Bcom compares the 1986 anime They Were Eleven with its modern counterpart, Astra Lost in Space. The Dumbbell girls celebrate New Years by walking up and ungodly number of steps. The Maidens decide it’s time to protest the oppressive regime at their school, so they can let their freak flags fly! Tanjirou gets the help of some little butterfly girls who help him stretch, train, and breathe in an effort to level up to be an even more effective Demon Slayer. Charce truly becomes Kanata’s right-hand man, in the penultimate episode of Astra Lost in Space, in a manner that causes Leo and Bcom to lose their minds. It turns out Watermelon girl’s watermelon helmet was way more essential than Kat ever expected, and to Bcom’s delight Dr. STONE re-designs it to be an everlasting part of her character design. We wrap up the final episode of Given and discuss how we felt about the way it concluded (or didn’t conclude) its various storylines. Apparently, Smokey the Bear never told the Vikings that “only you can prevent forest fires,” because they find themselves in the middle of a raging inferno. Carole & Tuesday set up for their final episode, with plans for one big concert to try to send a message to the people of Mars who are going down a dangerous path.

Bcom, Kat, and Leo discuss the 10th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! Bcom kicks things off by reviewing Studio 3Hz’s latest project, Blackfox: a totally decent movie. We propose ethical solutions to Japan’s birthrate issues during Kat’s recap of Dumbbell episode 10, and otherwise generally complain about some dumb developments. The Maidens start pushing the sexual tension to the max as emotions reach their peak in all of their relationships, and they find the confidence to make their moves and experience some crushing rejections. We then get into an extra flamboyant review of Demon Slayer’s latest episode, where the fate of Nezuko is decided. We finally found out who the traitor is in Kanata no Astra, and we start losing our minds at some of the more blatant plot conveniences in the backstory of the show. With the latest episode of Dr. STONE, Kat asks the age-old question…can you f*** a watermelon? We get annoyed at hair-cutting tropes in Given, and uncover a grand conspiracy common to LGBT anime adaptations. Thorkell wreaks havoc on the Danes’ best-laid plans in Vinland Saga, and Canute cannot communicate his feelings. The Mars Grammy awards roll around, and Carole and Tuesday collaborate with Crystal to deliver a moving performance, which is quickly overshadowed by Angela laying her soul bare.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #109 - Thorkell the Log Dropper

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 16:19:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom, and Kat discuss the 9th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! During our Dumbbell discussion, Kat tells us what her bodybuilder friend thought about the episode, and we also talk about how impossible it is to open jars. The Maidens are getting all lovey-dovey and it seems like everything is going well with their Little Princes, but rest assured, these girls aren’t alright. This week’s episode of Demon Slayer was a gigantic info dump introducing the Hashira, and putting poor little Nezuko on trial for being a demon. We also vote on which members of the Hashira we think will bite the dust first. The goals of the Astra crew’s parents are revealed and we also find out that Polina’s not in Kansas anymore. After the break, we return with an electrifying episode of Dr. STONE, where Senku persuades a spy from Tsukasa’s camp to join the Kingdom of Science with using magnet-creation techniques from NASA. Given is actually able to pull off an emotionally moving performance, which saves the show from tanking entirely. In the latest episode of Vinland Saga, the London Bridge is not falling down, because a Viking named Thorkell is fighting on behalf of the English in the latest episode of Vinland Saga. Finally, with Carole and Tuesday, it’s Christmas time at the Mars Grammy awards, and things are quickly going downhill for Angela, as she tries to come to turns with losing everything important in her life.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #108 - Shrinking Girls are Anime's Hot New Trend

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 19:12:00 -0400

Kat, Leo and Bcom discuss the 8th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! This week the Dumbbell girls climb a haunted mountain and, like meat, it went bad. The Maidens explore how many confessions they can pack into just one episode. Nezuko’s cute shrinking powers beg the question of whether she can grow to the size of a Gundam and stomp all the demons underneath her giant feet. This week’s episode of Astra turns into that one comic panel of Spider-Man pointing at other Spider-Man, as the show begins to embrace the ridiculousness of life. Dr. STONE somehow gets us into an argument about limited antibiotic resistance and superbugs, before arguing even more about whether Suika can keep the watermelon on her head for the entire length of the show with no explanation. Given finally delves into Mafuyu’s tragic backstory, as it sets up for a performance, which will likely determine whether the show sinks or swims. In Vinland Saga, Askeladd teaches us all about how to win friends and influence people, using the knowledge that everyone around him is a slave to something, which makes it possible to use them to fulfil his own ambitions. Finally, the Grammy Awards still exist on Mars and are still boring and irrelevant, but luckily rapper Denzel Curry is here to give the show some much-needed edginess.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #107 - Our Stone Future is Shiny and Chrome

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 17:32:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are here to break down the 7th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick off the podcast with some thoughts from Bcom and Kat about Trigger’s latest film, PROMARE. In this week’s anime, Dumbbell has become an idol show, and Kat is not amused. The Maidens have a very jiggly pillow fight to express their growing frustration with each other. After Tanjiro’s huge battle with Rui, Demon Slayer starts delving into the tragic backstory of the pretend spider family that Rui has built around himself. Then we get into the first of our midseason replacements, with a big recap of Astra Lost in Space and discussion of episode 7, where we try to puzzle out who the traitor could be. Dr. STONE begins recruiting the help of some villagers to build his Kingdom of Science into a force to be reckoned with. Leo takes a nap through Kat’s excellent review of episode 7 of Given, which is getting better with each passing episode. Bcom recaps episodes 4-6 of Vinland Saga before jumping into episode 7, where Askeladd’s Vikings use some badass tactics to plunder a Frankish stronghold, and Thorfinn earns another duel to avenge his father’s death by Naruto-running all over the battlefield. Finally, in Carole & Tuesday, Angela’s stalker is finally dealt with by none other than Mr. Tao who is able to out-think the annoying hacker pest.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #106 - The Time Hath Come for Russian Girls and Midseason Cuts

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 04:27:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom and Kat are back to review the 6th week of the Summer 2019 anime season and to make their midseason cuts! We kick off our nonsense with Kat’s cautionary tale of partying so hard in Montreal that she gave herself a fever of 103 with a side of strep throat. Leo continues to experience multiplayer issues with Remnant from the Ashes. Bcom beat Control and had a great time with it, with some minor drawbacks. When we finally around to talking about anime, Dumbbell’s arm-wrestling episode went full Over the Top, and Bcom breaks out a horribly stereotypical Russian accent. The lit club girls clash against their school’s prude restrictions as they try to dream up a romantic theme for their school’s festival. Then, it’s time for episode 19 of Demon Slayer, which was an incredible showcase of studio Ufotable’s animation talent, and Yuki Kajiura’s musical composition. BEM continues to be a weird, directionless monster-of-the-week show, that we thankfully may never have to talk about again! In Dr. STONE, Senku is miraculously saved by the power of…a Doctor Stone! Ritsuka’s emotional understanding of Satou is finally starting to progress as Given begins to find its rhythm halfway through the show. A talking cat familiar in the Demon Girl Next Door finally declares that “the time hath come” for Bcom to take a long, hard look about whether he wants to continue covering this cutesy anime. And finally, in Carole & Tuesday, Tuesday experiences some innocent heartbreak, while her mother takes advantage of suspicious terrorist activities to advance her fearmongering political campaign. We finish things off with a Midseason Cuts segment where we first discuss the other anime we’ve been keeping up with this season, and then Leo’s sneaky lock tactics backfire…slightly.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #105 - A Savage Season of Unfortunate Locks

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 8 Sep 2019 08:19:00 -0400

Kat, Leo and Bcom are back to review the 5th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick things off with Kat ranting about her hilariously awful experience with Groupon customer service. Leo updates us on his continuing trouble with Remnant of the Ashes, and Bcom reviews then 1979 anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. Once we get into weekly anime, it’s time to get in running shape for the Dumbbell girls, which means working hamstrings and abdominal muscles, to embrace their inner Flo-Jo. Two of the Maidens have their eyes set on much older men in their savage seasons, which leads to some very awkward interactions, but the episode ends on a high note with one of the cutest anime confession scenes we’ve watched in a long time. We spend more time hyping up Demon Slayer ep. 19 than actually properly covering episode 18. We wrap up another disappointing episode of BEM with complaints about its directionless story and weak animation from Kat and Bcom. After the break, we get into a divisive episode of Dr. STONE, which had us arguing about whether or not the second half flashback was a waste of our time, and who we would choose to kill off between ourselves, our lovers, or our friends. Our Given segment becomes a storytelling session about our experiences with love at first sight. This week’s Demon Girl Next Door review is a shitshow of the highest order, which Bcom very professionally manages to soldier through. And finally, in Carole and Tuesday, Ertegun has to do some thinking about what he truly wants to be as an artist after tragically handing his financial portfolio over to a horny Pinocchio robot.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #104 - A 50-page Essay Raining Down Cute

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 3 Sep 2019 12:53:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat and Leo are back to discuss the 4th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick it off with a bunch of gaming nonsense, and Bcom and Kat both ask listeners for gaming recommendations in a packed late August game release calendar. Once we move onto anime, in Dumbbell, we are puzzled by how different Silverman’s Gym’s operation is from the gyms we know and frequent in the United States. Leo’s not sure if he knows enough words to fill 50 pages like Rika’s love interest in O Maidens. Demon Slayer takes its best shot at making Zenitsu great again, but we’re left relatively unmoved. Dr. STONE already has Yuzuriha trying to sacrifice her life for her male co-stars, which leaves Bcom unamused, and ends with a pretty obviously toothless cliffhanger. Given takes a detour to talk about guitar pedals, which Bcom is very familiar with due to his guitar-enthusiast dad’s expensive quest to create the perfect sound. Bcom isn’t so impressed with episode 4 of the Demon Girl Next Door, and Leo and Kat retreat into the inner recesses of their mind (i.e. take a nap) while he breaks it down. We close things out with Carole & Tuesday, which introduces us to a star named Flora whose past is intertwined with Gus, and shows us a darker side of the music industry.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #103 - Given's Singing Shakes Us to Our Core

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 08:14:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to chat about the 3rd week of the Summer 2019 anime season! A cosplaying teacher joins the dumbbell squad in the latest episode, and we talk a lot about your biceps brachii muscle. In the latest Episode of O Maidens, Kazusa realizes that Izumi watches porn, but is at least reassured that it’s porn related to his transportation otaku hobbies. Kat launches her “Demon Slayer is actually a BL” political campaign, and to be fair she has some strong evidence. The latest episode of BEM represents another in a long line of heated gamer moments. Kat has some advice for Tsukasa from Dr. STONE, which is that when you have to come up with a different word for murder in order to justify it, you might have some issues. Kat has watched so much yaoi that she accurately predicted pretty much everything about Given’s plot. Leo also shakes us to our core with his interpretation of Mafuyu’s singing voice. By the way, the music anime Kat was alluding to in this section was Anonymous Noise. Bcom desperately tries to explain to Kat and Leo why he finds The Demon Girl Next Door so funny. Carole & Tuesday introduces anime David Bowie to the show in an episode that intelligently juxtaposes the show’s political commentary against its belief in the power of music to bring people together.

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 27 Jul 2019 03:39:00 -0400

Kat, Leo and Bcom finish up the Spring 2019 anime season with our thoughts on each finale individually, as well as the season as a whole. After the initial recording, news of the Kyoto Animation fire hit, which Bcom takes some time to address at the beginning of the episode. As a heads up, during our review of the final episode of Dororo, there is some discussion of death by fire and/or smoke inhalation, which you may want to skip. The Dororo segment runs from 1:04:37 to 1:25:20 if you would rather avoid it. Otherwise, it’s just another typical goofy podcast from us, which we hope will raise your spirits!

Recorded July 15, 2019.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #098 - I Want to Connect, but I am an Abstract Concept

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 07:27:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo discuss week 11 of the Spring 2019 anime season. Bcom leads off the podcast with a rave retro review of the first season of Sailor Moon while Kat details her plans for Anime Expo. We jump into a debate about how much Fruits Basket’s Tohru can give of herself to others before it becomes self-harming. It’s about that time in JoJo to start getting really confused about what’s going on, but we do our best to make sense of Chariot Requiem and his arrow of doom. Demon Slayer introduces an extremely annoying new character who Leo determines has less of a backbone than Bocchi Hitori, which is…impressive. Dororo deftly explains the entire philosophy of the show in a climactic debate about how to resolve the conflict between Hyakkimaru and Tahoumaru. The great Attack on Titan lore dump continues with another jam-packed episode where characters keep making excuses for Eren who is having a series of 15-year-old moments. Leo tells us that he grew up with someone just like Garou from One Punch Man, and that guy didn’t turn out very well either. We close out the final episode of Sarazanmai, and try to break down the quite literal abstract concepts that Ikuhara has expressed in wrapping up the show. Finally, we end the episode by discussing whether Carole and Tuesday deserve to keep moving on through the Mars Brightest contest given the strong competition they’ve been facing.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #097 - Shingeki no Origin Story

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 4 Jul 2019 01:08:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom, and Kat discuss week 10 of the Spring 2019 anime season. Bcom kicks things off by poking some fun at Netflix’ new translation of Evangelion. Kat strategizes the best way to give a boy Valentine’s Day chocolates in our discussion of Fruits Basket. The cast of JoJo have an out of body experience in the latest episode and Mista learns the pain of wearing cute panties. We debate whether the crow or a soon-to-be-introduced character from Demon Slayer is the most annoying character of the season. Everyone’s getting extra arms and eyes in Dororo now, as the series comes to its epic climax. Attack on Titan episode “That Day” takes about an entire day to record, because it’s one epic lore dump. Orochimaru apparently showed up in One Punch Man this week, or at least we thought he did. The reveal of Reo’s true name in Sarazanmai absolutely infuriates Bcom who realizes he missed out on 9 weeks of Leo puns. And finally, we close out the episode with some speculation about the latest dramatic events between Tuesday and her stalker Cybelle, who may have ruined the girls’ chances in the Mars Brightest contest.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #096 - Kat Unleashes the Lion's Roar

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 1 Jul 2019 19:00:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom discuss week 9 of the Spring 2019 anime season. In the latest episode of Fruits Basket, the zodiac cow is able to hide in plain sight to the annoyance of Kat. Jojo’s Polnareff apologizes for assuming a character’s gender, which is quite progressive for when this manga was actually written. Bcom breaks down temari and kemari in an action-packed episode of Demon Slayer. Dororo has gone a lot of weird places, but now it has pokemon apparently too. And finally, in Attack on Titan we finally found out what’s in the basement…sort of. One Punch Man aired an episode. It was a thing that happened. Sarazanmai’s latest episode forces Tooi to choose to connect with either older brother or his close friends. The beat of GGK’s song in Carole & Tuesday breaks Leo’s brain, and that’s before the Mermaid Sisters even take the stage.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #095 - Hange Zoe Goggles Off

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 22:25:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo discuss week 8 of the Spring 2019 anime season. We kick things off with a bit of an E3 wrap-up and our thoughts about the current state of the console wars. Kat then chats about her convention coffee nightmare, and how she whipped her co-worker into shape, both of which are certainly related acts. Once we get into anime, Leo is growing a bit bored of Fruits Basket, which continues to be somewhat directionless. An old JoJo character shows up in Golden Wind in a Silver Chariot, and Bcom totally forgets what Doppio looks like. Demon Slayer showed off the diabolical power of its main villain, Muzan Kibutsuji, and also shows off the legs of its childlike, but somehow not childlike little sister, Nezuko. Hyakkimaru continues to lose more of his humanity in his quest to regain his human body as Dororo gears up for its final stretch. During Attack on Titan, Kat determines that she needs to buy Bcom a Hange Zoe body pillow, and Bcom details exactly what he’d want from such a product. Kat tells us all about Big Daddy One Punch and rants about the absurdity of Watchdog Man. Sarazanmai teaches us the disastrous consequences of putting too much pepper in your cucumber ramen. Kat wants to “pow” M-Pop artist Pyotr right in his Justin Bieber-esque face, as Carole & Tuesday moves into its American Idol arc.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #094 - Muda Muda Muda Muda Rockin' Everywhere

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 9 Jun 2019 11:47:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom and Kat discuss week 7 of the Spring 2019 anime season. This week we break down the double announcement of Google Stadia and a Destiny 2 expansion, which left us with polar opposite impressions. We jump into Fruits Basket episode 7, where Spring comes, Winter melts, and Kat can’t handle any of it. The latest episode of JoJo delivers on a fan-favorite moment from the manga with the help of the Muda Muda Staff. Bcom nitpicks the living hell out of the latest episode of Demon Slayer, where everything is unclear, but at least Leo’s crow impression is right on target. We really didn’t like the latest episode of Dororo, but luckily we’re saying the opposite of what we mean. The latest episode of Attack on Titan is filled with various acts of heroism and sacrifice, making for one of the most emotional roller coasters of the season so far. Kat chooses this moment to provide the young listeners in our audience with a very important PSA. One Punch Man continues to try to explore multiple storylines at once, and Bcom’s not thrilled with the show’s execution. Just when things seem to be getting better in Sarazanmai, the rug is pulled out from under us, and there’s more drama than we thought. Carole & Tuesday’s latest shortcut to stardom is through a talent competition, which showcases some of Mars’ best, but mostly its weirdest performers.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #093 - Sneks in the City

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 5 Jun 2019 13:12:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom discuss week 6 of the Spring 2019 anime season. It’s the halfway point of the season, which means it’s time to debate midseason cuts, which you can find towards the end of the podcast. Before we jump into anime, Leo talks about how he literally couldn’t see the monsters in the latest Godzilla movie. Kat is more concerned about the anatomical intricacies of a Mothra-Godzilla pairing. We also chat about a pair of Russia-centric TV shows in The Americans and Chernobyl that Bcom and Kat recommend checking out. In episode 6 of Fruits Basket, Kat is absolutely livid with Tohru for being a [very naïve person]. Yeah, let’s go with that censoring. It also introduces the trope of the mysterious childhood love interest, which has us all rolling our eyes. Kat continues to demand an explanation for Bruno’s zombie-like state in JoJo, and also questions the Roman police’s lackadaisical response to an apocalypse breaking out in the middle of their city. Demon Slayer’s sound director went a little overboard with the grinding teeth noises of this episode’s multiple personality disordered demon. Kat is shocked at Tanjiro’s incredible acrobatic moves with his big hoop earrings getting in the way. We get distracted by the demon “frog” shark in the latest episode of Dororo, and we complain about taxonomy for a bit. We also manage to disagree on multiple tiny, insignificant aspects of the episode. Bcom is very excited at the confirmation that baseball exists in the Attack on Titan universe. Kat decries the horrible existence of Cockroach Man in the latest episode of One Punch Man, and wonders how deep the psychic connection between Tatsumaki and Hellish Blizzard really goes. She also loses it over the introduction of our latest eponymous hero, Snek. Keppi shows off his pole dancing skills in this week’s Sarazanmai, and the emotional wound between Kazuki and Haruka is finally mended. Carole & Tuesday get the opportunity to perform in front of a huge crowd, but it doesn’t go exactly as planned. As for us, we fell in love with the newly introduced characters of Skip and Crystal who have subtle, but well-established chemistry. Finally, we move into our discussion of potential midseason cuts, and discuss several other shows that we’ve been keeping up with as potential replacements.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #092 - Wa ha ha!

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 27 May 2019 20:31:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat and Leo discuss week 5 of the Spring 2019 anime season. It turns out we all saw John Wick 3 this week, so we start out by raving about how fun the third installment of the franchise was. We move on to Fruits Basket, where Tohru is away from the Souma household for much less time than we initially expected. Bcom is annoyed that JoJo’s part 5 has basically given us the equivalent of “Stand midichlorians,” in a completely unnecessary explanation of the origin of Stand powers. Demon Slayer introduces Tanjiro to his new sword, but more importantly, his new crow, which Kat and Leo both mimic to the best of their ability. Yuki Souma makes a guest appearance in Dororo in his rat form, but he’s gained a bit of weight and it’s given him a nasty attitude. Armin tries to get under Bertholdt’s skin, and Mikasa tries to attack him, but it’s clear in this episode of Attack on Titan that the Colossal Titan has matured into a very different person. Bcom wonders if Saitama or Metal Bat’s little sister has a stronger slap, as they seem equally effective in the latest episode of One Punch Man. ONE also continues to display his obsession with introducing way too many goofy characters at once. With the latest episode of Sarazanmai, as Leo puts it, Kazuki’s “inner Sasuke” is very strong, and Bcom attempts to make sense of his many conflicting emotions. After Kat ponders the point of A.I. pets in the latest episode of Carole & Tuesday, Leo tears up at the girls’ first live concert.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #091 - Dororo Does the Baby Shark Dance

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 26 May 2019 21:43:00 -0400

Leo, Kat and Bcom discuss week 4 of the Spring 2019 anime season. Fruits Basket introduces us to the newest member of the zodiac family, the boar, whose tsundere antics annoyed Bcom. Kat imagines what it would be like having her mouth sewn shut as we discuss the latest episode of JoJo, where we lost one of our heroes. Tanjiro learns how to use his water vaping techniques to defeat his first major demon. While Bcom was horrified by the carnage of the pet sharks in episode 16 of Dororo, Kat, an intellectual, just kept thinking of the Baby Shark dance. The scouts use a new weapon to bring the Armored Titan to its knees, and Kat learns the difference between Erwin and Armin. The latest episode of One Punch Man has Kat and Bcom imagining a “Centibuddies” anime following the activities of Centisenpai and Centikouhai. Leo drunk watches Sarazanmai, which unfortunately didn’t improve his viewing experience. Carole & Tuesday make the best worst music video of all time, and Leo guest stars in the show as a beer-drinking robot.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #090 - Leo's Chives Casket

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 16 May 2019 17:31:00 -0400

Kat, Leo and Bcom return to break down the 3rd week of the Spring 2019 anime season! After an intro where Kat channels her perfect impression of Laura Bailey’s Tohru Honda, Bcom kicks off the nonsense section by warning people off SAO: Alicization, and raving about Nichijou. Kat gives her spoiler-filled thoughts on the 3rd and 4th episodes of the final season of Game of Thrones. She then somehow traumatizes herself by comparing Kyou’s “dud” rice balls with Bertie Bott’s booger-flavored beans in our discussion of this week’s Fruits Basket. Kat also predicts that Leo will die due to a lack of chives in his diet. Leo can’t get over Doppio’s bizarre name and Kat fact-checks the amount of iron that would be available in the human body to pull off some of Risotto’s stand powers. Nezuko catches up on some much-needed sleep while Tanjiro spends 2 years on an epic shounen training arc in Demon Slayer. Bcom feels like Dororo’s latest episode covered some of the same ground unnecessarily, but Kat was more focused on the viability of sexing up a ghoul. Attack on Titan started a few weeks late, so we finally get a chance to dive into the first episode of season 3’s second half. Let’s be honest, it’s just season 4. Kat has some Tank Top Trouble telling characters apart in One Punch Man and her inner gyaru girl leaks out. We have a butt suckin’ good time talking about Enta’s hallucinations in the latest episode of Sarazanmai. Bcom is pissed that everyone ordered the same exact pizza at Carole and Tuesday’s meeting with their new manager, and Kat explains that no girl in their right mind goes swimming in full make-up. We also debate the realism of New Yorkers joining in with the Dancing Laundry musical scene, rather than yelling at the girls to shut up.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #089 - Spring 2019 First Impressions

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 11 May 2019 22:54:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo and Kat are back with their first impressions of the Spring 2019 anime season! We kick things off with a short spoiler discussion of Avengers: Endgame, which we were all dying to chat about. Then we dive into this anime season, which despite having fewer shows airing overall than in Winter, still has some major standouts that we’re excited about. Of course, it also contains some absolute steaming piles of trash, which we take great pleasure in ripping to pieces. Stick around to the end where we vote on the eight shows we’ll be following!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #088 - Winter 2019 Wrap-up and Final Scores

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 5 May 2019 21:19:00 -0400

Leo, Kat and Bcom close out Winter 2019 with reviews of the 12th and final week of the anime season. We finished off the last two episodes of Mob Psycho II, which left us wishing the show had kept the tone of the first half of the season, rather than switching half-way through. Run With the Wind defied our expectations and gave us a very satisfying ending to the running boys’ journey. Kemurikusa hinted at a potential sequel while also wrapping up the emotional arc of the narrative in a neat way. Domestic Girlfriend got dumber than ever before, and had us all wigging out. The first half of the Kaguya finale had Bcom squeeing over both the romantic fireworks and the fantastic direction and cinematography. Dororo finishes off its first half by giving us more plot development with Hyakkimaru’s family than we had expected to get at the half-way point. We move on to some quick reviews of the shows we watched outside of the podcast, before finishing off the season with our final reviews and scores!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #087 - Breathing in the Fumes of Chevy Tahoumaru

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 14:00:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to discuss week 11 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Mob continues to preach philosophy to villains we don’t really care about as we struggle to care about anything outside the brilliantly animated fights of Mob Psycho II’s 11th episode. Run With the Wind sprints forward with King passing the sash onto Kakeru who enters another running dimension, which Kat think just sounds painful. Bcom is blown away by just how well Kemurikusa brought all of the threads of its sci-fi narrative together, while raising even more interesting questions. The Promised Neverland pulls off a big surprise in its penultimate episode, but we get bogged down in the psychological logistics of cutting off your own appendages. Jojo episode 24 prompts us to talk about airplane depressurization and respecting Notorious B.I.G.’s legacy, as only JoJo can. Domestic Girlfriend adds an unlikely member to Natsuo’s harem and finally hits at making Hina and Natsuo face consequences for their reckless public displays of affection. Bcom enjoyed the fanservice in this week’s episode and Chika’s ramen adventures, but Leo felt the last skit represented too much of a tone-shift from the normal comedic shenanigans of the show. We also finish off with the first of a two-part arc of Dororo, which will finish off the season by re-uniting Hyakkimaru with his family and Chevy Tahoumaru.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #086 - Dororo and the Lakebed of Doom

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 17:32:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back for week 10 of the Winter 2019 anime season. We weren’t that pleased with this week’s episode of Mob Psycho, but we did get some great advice from Kat to the youth of the world, and learned about Chinese Hopping Vampires. Run With the Wind focused on Yuki and Nico’s sections of the final race, and we had some handy advice for Yuki’s mom and Leo asks which guy of the group Kat would bang if given the opportunity. This of course transitions into Kat asking which of the Kemurikusa girls Leo and Bcom would pick. Bcom and Leo also introduce Kat to the glory of the movie Demolition Man, when explaining the scene where Wakaba touches Rin’s memory leaf. Bcom has some thoughts about the timeline that The Promised Neverland takes place in and we have some interesting ideas about Norman’s fate after leaving the orphanage. Jojo gave us an epic battle between The Clash and Aerosmith this week, but Kat just got lost in Tiziano’s eyes and hair. Domestic Girlfriend gets us on the topic of the trope of girls who can’t cook in anime, and we collectively roll our eyes at the way in which even Natsuo’s misfortunate injury turns into more opportunities for sexy times with his sisters. We break down the many, many issues we had with this week’s episode of Kaguya-sama, and detail some ways we wish they had been clearer about Kaguya’s desires. We finish off with an episode of Dororo that had us craving for crab meat and butter, and Leo tells us about how he almost got sucked into a drained lakebed.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #085 - Thnks Fts Mmrs

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 9 Apr 2019 00:40:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to talk about week 9 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Bcom raves about his early experiences with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Kat went to see Us and encourages people to go see it. Leo saw Captain Marvel, and felt pretty meh about it. Kat is disappointed that Mob Psycho II episode 9 didn’t stick to its guns and walked back the dramatic climax of last week’s episode. Instead it introduced a variety of new elements that had us feeling a little narrative whiplash. We argue a bit over whether Run With the Wind’s latest episode was too overdramatic, and come to several different verdicts. We meet “two” new sisters in Kemurikusa who start to complete the puzzle about the mysterious past of the show, and Kat begins to lose her mind over the disparity between her opinion on the show and Leo’s. We watched The Promised Neverland and…Ray has fetus memories, which Kat brilliantly refers to as plot spackle. Yeah. Moving on, Kat’s cat takes issue with her making blatantly racist requests of Bcom during our JoJo Part 5 discussion and viciously attacks her on Bcom’s behalf. Kat calls Narancia a hick, and Leo engages in some serious hick gate-keeping and gives us a lesson in true hickness. We finally reach the point of Domestic Girlfriend where Leo began to lose faith in the manga, and when Bcom starts to get a sense that this anime is reaching for heights even stupider than he expected. Kaguya has its first truly connected three-part episode, which impresses us on the one hand, but the content of the main gag leaves us questioning if the same jokes couldn’t have been executed in a smarter way. Finally, Leo gets to reveal an important fact about Dororo that he’s known since last podcast, and wishes we had known this information from the beginning of the show.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #084 - Mob Runs With the Wind

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 8 Apr 2019 16:12:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to talk about week 8 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Bcom tells all about the near-riot at his screening of Heaven’s Feel Part II. Kat and Leo met up with Brains and had a drunken good time. Leo breaks down an episode of Mob Runs With the Wind that turned very dark towards the end in a way that Kat is really into, and which Bcom compares to Avenger’s: Infinity War. We move onto the actual Run With the Wind where Prince and Musa learn about their own personal reasons for running, and where we maybe finally learn who Hanako likes. Kat gets triggered by a cat noise the eldest Kemurikusa sister made, and we talk about the inevitability of lewding the kemurikusas, and some fox-eared merchandise we need to exist. We move on to Krone’s endgame in The Promised Neverland and begin to see the truly horrifying depths of Isabella’s control. We finally are introduced to the meme that is King Crimson in JoJo Part 5, and we honestly can’t remember large sections of the episode…weird. We learn some important advice for dating your sisters in Domestic Girlfriend episode 8, as Natsuo continues to navigate these stormy waters. We’re finally introduced to Miyuki’s imouto in Kaguya only to find out Chika ALSO has sisters. Can Kaguya possibly pander any more to Bcom? We end with an episode of where Dororo tries to show that kids can fight demons just as well as Hyakkimaru.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #083 - Sock Puppet Seduction

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 17:46:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to talk about week 7 of the Winter 2019 anime season. In this week’s episode of Mob Psycho, Reigen’s psychic abilities are put to the test on a live variety show which clarifies how important Reigen’s partnership with Mob is in defining his future. Our favorite running boys make their final preparations for the Hakone Ekiden, and we make some not-so-bold predictions after learning the section assignments for each leg of the race. Kat feels Kemurikusa has become too much like a video game, and Bcom and Leo are just looking for a controller to grab. In The Promised Neverland, Sister Krone opens our eyes with some new information about the relationship between the humans and demons in the world outside the orphanage, but Isabella appears to be two steps ahead of everyone. After an impromptu karaoke session, we jump back into JoJo where we get our first glimpse of the infamous King Crimson, but we lose track of time chatting about squid ink pasta, fishing, and double-tapping your enemies. At some point we move onto Domestic Girlfriend, which continues to cement itself as the greatest anime in existence, and also teaches Leo and Bcom an invaluable lesson about the role sock puppets can play in winning over a woman’s heart. After we complain about Kaguya’s boring episode titles, we learn that it’s essential to get a part-time job and a boat license before even considering holding your crush’s hand. We finish off with an episode of Dororo that raises questions about the true nature of demons, and whether Hyakkimaru must actually slay them all, or if some can be saved.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #082 - DiGiorno Giovanna and Midseason Cuts

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 10:13:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom, and Kat return to discuss week 6 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. It’s the halfway point of the season, which means we need to evaluate where we’re at, and make any midseason cuts if necessary. At the halfway point of Mob Psycho, Reigen finally has to try to find his way in the spirit-cleansing world without Mob’s assistance, and gets in over his head. Meanwhile, on Run With the Wind, the guys scope out the Hakone race, and also try to quell Jota and Joji’s doubts about Haiji’s true reasons for aiming for the top. A new sister shows up out of the blue in Kemurikusa and shows Wakaba how to harness the power of the leaves to protect the others and uncover the world’s secrets. Kat says the show makes her feel dumb…Leo has a theory about why that is. The Promised Neverland kids continue exhibit completely ridiculous knowledge, like understanding Morse code, and we discuss the apparent differences between Krone’s characterization in the manga and anime adaptation. Kat discovers Giorno sounds like DiGiorno and the podcast is off the rails again, before we get back on the rails by learning the correct pronunciation of bruschetta. Domestic Girlfriend expands its harem criteria to allow for male teacher in addition to female teachers, as it continues to layer taboos on top of each other in an effort to create the most ridiculous parody of romance drama ever made. Bcom’s a bit underwhelmed by the newest member of Kaguya’s student council. Dororo finishes off its first two-episode arc with a depressing, but touching finale demonstrating the nobility of trying to survive and rebuild in the tumult of endless war.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #081 - Suppositions and Suppositories

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 9 Mar 2019 12:46:00 -0500

Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss week 5 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. We kick off the podcast with some brief thoughts about the results of the Crunchyroll anime awards, which we obviously don’t agree with. Afterwards we chat about some of the nonsense we’ve been up to before jumping into Mob Psycho 100 II. Episode 5 was a showcase for some of the most spectacular animation in a TV anime in quite some time. The Run With the Wind boys take one step closer to the Hakone Ekiden, which took Kakeru turning into a glowing blue god of running to accomplish. It’s a fairly uneventful week in Kemurikusa so we breeze past that and jump into The Promised Neverland where we re-evaluate our suppositions regarding future developments of the show, and poke some fun at Norman and Ray in the process. The Golden Experience boys struggle to avoid frostbite when they face off with Ghiaccio on the road to Venezia. Leo can’t believe Giorno didn’t think of transforming them into Water Bears. But, everything up until this point was just an appetizer. The main course is Domestic Girlfriend episode 5. Bcom believes it’s possibly the greatest episode of anime yet envisioned. Mob Psycho tried, but it was like administering your medicine orally. Sure, it’ll do the trick eventually, but if you want fast-acting anime relief, you need to go to the source. Natsuo needs only support Rui by supplying supreme suppositories superbly to suppress his stepsister’s supplication. It’s a super good episode. We move onto Kaguya where Chika’s love advice involves reaffirming that they do indeed live in a society, and she will raise these boys to become respectable men. We finish off with the depressing first half of a two-part Dororo episode where Hyakkimaru finds his first love in the soothing presence of Mio, the protector of an orphanage ravaged by the ongoing wars.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #080 - The Promised neVRland

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 07:53:00 -0500

Bcom, Kat, and Leo plunge into week 4 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. We recorded this episode on Valentine’s Day, and apparently Kat was so love drunk that she totally watched the wrong episode of Mob Psycho 100. To be fair, she was only off by an entire season. Luckily, Bcom and Leo rattle a synopsis off the top of their heads with surprising accuracy. Run With the Wind’s latest episode exhibits some incredibly unsafe hydration practices, which lead to predictable disaster. We continue to try to make sense of Kemurikusa as they battle a giant bug with some smart strategy. We also discover that the only true way to experience The Promised Neverland is wearing a VR headset. JoJo teaches us that laptops can kill more than just your bank account. Leo coins a new name for the sisters from Domestic Girlfriend, which fits them just…perfectly. Kat finally comes around on Chika in the latest episode of Kaguya-sama. Crunchyroll unfortunately has a stroke trying to translate the first few lines of the episode. Finally we cover JoJoJo, I mean Dororo, which turned in another really strong episode this week, with some incredible sound design in particular.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #079 - Chika-sama: Love is Chika

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 01:36:00 -0500

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are finally starting their weekly reviews again! It’s week 3 of the Winter 2018 Anime season and we have a lot to be excited about. Kat gives us a whole new way to think about Mob’s progress to explosion…we’re very sorry if you can’t get this out of your head. Leo finally found a way to relate to Run With the Wind in its 14th episode. Kemurikusa starts to unravel some of its many mysteries, but still keeps us guessing at where everything is heading. We move on to the menacing 10-year-olds of The Promised Neverland and their new caretaker Krone, which is providing another entertaining puzzle box to solve. Bcom suffers through Kat and Leo’s outlandishly poor pronunciation of Italian names in JoJo Golden Wind, and Bcom and Kat gleefully rejoice when Leo’s memory is actually wrong for once. Leo struggles to understand why Bcom and Kat actually love watching Domestic Girlfriend for the podcast, given its taboo themes and incredibly dumb overarching plot. Bcom breaks down the production of the greatest ED of 2019, with Chika Fujiwara’s love detective dance at the end of Kaguya episode 3. Kat also breaks down U.S. vs. Japanese statistics for high schoolers’ rates of sexual activity, with U.S. numbers that would make Chika blush. We finish off the week with Dororo giving us the epic backstory of the creation of Hyakkimaru’s prosthetic appendages and the journey that brought him to his current state.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #078 - Winter 2019 First Impressions - Part 2

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 7 Feb 2019 22:15:00 -0500

Kat, Leo and Bcom have returned to close out the second half of their Winter 2019 first impressions and pick the top 8 shows that we’ll be following this season. After Leo and Kat cry about work and the freezing cold weather, Bcom cries about the Kristaps Porzingis trade. Once we get into anime, Bcom has some special Swedish intelligence to help understand the main love interest of Girly Air Force. We felt Quintessential Quintuplets offered a surprisingly inoffensive ecchi harem setup, when compared with typical genre offerings from the past couple of years. Our review of Grimms notes was…well, grim. Boogiepop and Others might work better as a light novel than an anime, in our opinion, as it left us wanting more context. The Price of Smiles was a bit too expensive for us, apparently. Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka is another in a long line of underwhelming post-Madoka dark magical girl shows, but this one at least made us laugh. Domestic Kanojo’s hentai-esque premise with high quality art and direction caught Bcom’s attention. Kat was pleased that actual sex took place in the first episode of an anime, for once. We caught up on the first half of JoJo Part 5 and attempted to explain the insane escapades the boys are currently getting up to in Italy. Bcom reports in from the frontlines of W’z where nothing makes sense and DJ Juice has captured the hearts and minds of Osaka with his absolutely terrible music. Our review of Kaguya-sama: Love is War devolves into Kat offering up a $50 gift certificate for the “Bride of Bcom” prize contest if listeners recreate Chika’s dance from the episode 3 ED. We move to a somewhat clever cute girls show called Endro, before continuing with a not very clever comedy in Miss Ueno. Bcom loved the incredible CGI aerial dogfights in The Magnificent Kotobuki, while Kat was more focused on how they made their pancakes so damn fluffy. Leo discovers he wants to ride the dragon as we review the first few episodes of Mysteria Friends. After everything has been reviewed, you know what time it is! We end our impressions with the VOTE, which determines the top 8 shows we’ll follow this season.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #077 - Winter 2019 First Impressions - Part 1

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 6 Feb 2019 19:21:00 -0500

Bcom, Kat, Leo are back for a brand new year of anime ripe with possibilities! Winter 2019 is upon us and it’s time to dig straight down until we find some diamonds in the rough. We start out raving about Dororo and Mob Psycho II, which both showcased fantastic art style and animation. The new Kemono Friends aren’t as fun or educational as the old ones, which disappoints Bcom. Leo winces as Kat and Bcom get pumped up by the return of Run With the Wind. Kat holds an intervention with Japan about its now well-established trend of adult female child molester anime, which continues with WATATEN. After the break, we start on a much more hopeful note with one of the better thriller shows we’ve seen in quite some time, in The Promised Neverland. Kat teaches Bcom how to correctly pronounce Sasuke. Bcom teaches Kat about Dutch Angles. Leo, the cat whisperer, teaches us how to recognize what your cat wants at any given moment. We learn a lot from each other this episode, honestly. Kat can’t imagine why her co-hosts would like a mysterious show involving a girl with fox ears, but Leo and Bcom are way too into Kemurikusa to stop the hype train. We continue to put off talking about Shield Hero for as long as possible by chatting about our favorite JoJo characters. Finally, when there’s no way left to stall, and when Kat’s attack power has reached maximum, we unleash our wrath on the puny Shield Hero and his piece of shit anime.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #075 - Fall 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 7 Jan 2019 23:29:00 -0500

Leo, Bcom, and Kat close out Fall 2018 with reviews of the remaining few episodes, and final scores for all of the anime we watched this season! We start off by chatting about the finales of Bunny Girl and Bloom Into You, neither of which came to a completely satisfying conclusion. Then, because of our eight show weekly format this season, we had a lot of extra time to watch anime outside of the podcast, and we run through many of those, such as SSSS.Gridman, Irozuku, Black Clover, and Hi Score Girl, just to name a few. Finally, we dole out our final scores and thoughts on our top anime picks of the season. With all that done, we will see you next episode for a 2018 year in review episode!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #074 - Shot Through the Head and You're Okay

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 7 Jan 2019 06:16:00 -0500

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are ready to finish off most of Fall 2018’s anime with the 12 week of shows! The finale of The Girl in Twilight satisfied some of us and infuriated others, by giving us some of the most visually impressive moments of the show, but depriving us of closure on several major plot points. We have a prolonged discussion about whether Nopperabo has eyelids in the season 2 finale of Golden Kamuy, which finishes with many dramatic reveals and shifting alliances, and importantly, the return of our favorite C.G.I. bear. Run With the Wind is Gone With the Wind so we move onto Kat struggling to recount Kaede’s arc of Bunny Girl Senpai without strangling someone. After some bad Arby’s almost killed Leo, we came back 2 days later to continue the second half of the podcast with Banana Fish. Bcom pretty much lost his shit at the ending of this show, which seemed to throw away any good faith it had ever built up over the course of its run, with a conclusion that felt incredibly mean-spirited and unsatisfying. As Zombie Land Saga wraps up, Kat continues to profess her undying love for her soulmate Yuugiri, but is annoyed with the generic idol ending we got. Karakuri Circus continues to confuse us with insanely rushed storytelling that leaves us bewildered and pining for the good old days when the series was really promising. At this point, just read the manga instead of watching the anime. Bloom Into You closes out its penultimate episode by ratcheting up the drama to 11, and exposing Touko’s deepest flaws in the process.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #073 - Yuri the Honor Student

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 6 Jan 2019 16:56:00 -0500

Bcom, Kat and Leo are back to talk about Fall 2018’s 11th week of anime! After we chat a little bit about Aquaman’s glistening chest, Florida’s horrifying morning sun, and the cute nostalgia of Hi Score Girl, we jump into this penultimate week of anime. The Girl in Twilight kicked off the week with a wonderful reveal of a deeper relationship between two of its characters, which flourished into one of the most emotional fight scenes of the series. Hide your kids, hide your wife, because Tsurumi’s 7th division is coming for our heroes at Abashiri Prison as Golden Kamuy reaches its climax. We move on to cover the last episode of Run With the Wind that will air in 2018, with the show taking a long break before episode 12. Maybe they’re recovering from Haiji’s ridiculous practice regimen. Hype thrusters are engaged because we’ve finally reached the heavily anticipated imouto arc of Bunny Girl. We might be saying A Farewell to Dino in the penultimate episode of Banana Fish, which continues to rack up the body count with more gunfights, and more child abuse. Sakura forgot her zombie memories, and the writers forgot Yuugiri’s backstory in the latest episode of Zombie Land Saga. Then we move on to meet the honey nut Shirogane-O’s in the latest wild, crazy, and completely off-the-rails episode of Karakuri Circus. Finally, in the latest episode of Bloom Into You, Touko gets a rude awakening about the reality of her late older sister’s personality, that shakes her whole philosophy of how she should be living her life.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #072 - Rascal Chats with Bathing Waifus

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 26 Dec 2018 16:11:00 -0500

Leo, Bcom and Kat are back this week to discuss week 10 of the Fall 2018 anime season. We kick it off with some nonsense, like Bcom watching a famous Japanese movie from 1983 about husky sled dogs surviving the treacherous landscape of Antarctica. Kat had to survive holiday parties, and a dairy awkward moment with her friend, and Leo had to survive his deepest dental appointment yet. We move on to anime, and Kat channels her inner Gordon Ramsay and lambasts Asuka for trying to make a chikuwa cake in The Girl in Twilight. We debate crushed vs. mashed potatoes in Golden Kamuy and Bcom can’t keep straight whether Anji Toni is blind or deaf. Leo laments Kana’s lost waifu status with her lax cooking skills, and also theorizes about the extraordinarily high number of people fainting in Japanese anime this season. In the latest episode of Rascal Sits While Girls Bathe, we argue about the necessity of the baller idol performance in the episode, and also figure out the perfect ending for the show. Banana Fish continues to use rape as a narrative crutch, while simultaneously getting incredibly cheesy with its drama. We’re all incensed that Yuugiri seems to have been snubbed in getting a backstory arc in Zombie Land Saga, in favor a frankly pretty boring setup episode for Sakura’s arc. Kat’s fury at a new character named Pantaloons in Karakuri Circus leads Bcom to a discovery of the Italian theatrical roots for the puppets’ naming scheme. We wrap up with Bloom Into You where a friend from Yuu’s past shows us how much Yuu’s outlook on life has changed since meeting Touko.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #071 - Guy is Pronounced Like Karakuri

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 23:23:00 -0500

Kat, Leo and Bcom are back this week to discuss week 9 of the Fall 2018 anime season. We start off with a nonsense section, in which we talked a lot about various video games we’re playing. Even Kat is playing games now! This week, the girls in twilight saw the truth of Seriouska’s world, and we got a not-so-unexpected reveal of the true identity of The King of Twilight. Kat observes that Golden Kamuy is now pandering to its yaoi fanbase, and the dick jokes have returned in the form of mushroom sight gags. Kat breaks down the latest episode of “As the Wind Turns,” which brought Leo to tears! Also, Kat finds yet another way to compare an anime to Naruto, calling Kakeru this show’s Sasuke. Kat is furious that the typical blonde-ass foreigner has been introduced to the Rascal’s ever-growing harem, but Bcom and Leo just can’t wait for him to have sex with his girlfriend in her sister’s body. Leo also feels a better harem show would focus on Mai’s father’s apparent golden idol touch. Banana Fish has gotten so convoluted that we can’t keep track of all the Harlem Chickens and Killer Bees, and just want it all to make sense. Leo loses his mind over his new Zombie Land waifu, Saki’s delinquent friend Reiko, as he loves a well-tamed shrew. All you need to know about Karakuri Circus is that it’s pronounced GUY, not GUY. Since that’s cleared up, we move onto the episode of Bloom Into You where it gets dangerously close to just being the next Citrus.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #070 - The Kat in Twilight

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 04:49:00 -0500

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to cover week 8 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This episode Kat’s voice has been transformed by the power of medical vape and has entered the world of Twilight. Meanwhile, the actual Girls in Twilight get up to some very graceful upskirts and renaming themselves after Apple personal assistants. Meanwhile, Golden Kamuy goes full “bara” in a sea otter-fueled orgy worthy of the craziest shenanigans this show has seen. Prince acquires a treadmill to read manga while he runs in Run With the Wind, while Haiji continues to try to murder everyone with increasingly ridiculous running schedules. Sakuta has to find a way to solve two sides of the same girl’s emotional issues in this episode of Bunny Girl Senpai. Banana Fish has some issues with insensitive racial stereotyping, in an otherwise action-heavy episode. Zombie Land Saga gifts us with a fantastic episode, which proves once again that studio Mappa currently represents a shining beacon for good LGBT representation in an industry that typically struggles to depict such characters. Karakuri Circus goes full metal puppet this episode, and stretches the bounds of our disbelief in ways that start to worry us, as well as airport security everywhere. Finally, Leo explains the flower imagery of Bloom Into You’s latest episode with an explanation of the meaning of the various colors of hydrangeas in Japanese culture.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #069 - Bloom Into Evanescence

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 5 Dec 2018 02:34:00 -0500

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to cover week 7 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This episode Kat was a bit under the weather, but she powered through it to deliver your anime fix! We talked about the flaws of computer CD slot design and sneaky marketing tricks in the latest episode of The Girl in Twilight. Golden Kamuy gave us beary bad nightmares and fleshed out another of its side-characters with Ogata’s incredible backstory, which led us into a discussion of the psychology of psychopaths. We warned the listeners about the perils of listening to Evanescence as pre-game hype music in our section on Run With the Wind, where they finally run their first track meet, and Leo and Kat break down the mistakes in Kakeru’s race strategy. Sakuta’s expectations of our favorite Bunny Girl started to rub Kat the wrong way, and the explanations of the show’s physics phenomena are becoming even more ridiculous. Ash got under Dino’s skin in one of Banana Fish’s most explicit monologues to date. The decision to modernize the show, compared to the manga, has also led to some very awkward political commentary. Zombie Land Saga saved a bad C.G.I. dance performance with a shockingly funny twist. Karakuri Circus continued to set the bar for this season’s best animation with some excellent action scenes, but the characters began to get a bit too emo and overpowered for our taste. Finally, we picked up with the newest addition to our lineup, Bloom Into You, which kicked off the second half of its season by exploring Sayaka’s feelings, and introducing a new couple that can help guide her through the emotional turmoil she’s been enduring, even though their own relationship isn’t without its troubles. Leo thought it needed more karate chops.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #068 - Zombie Land Drama and Midseason Cuts

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 15:00:00 -0500

Kat, Leo and Bcom are here to break down week 6 of the Fall 2018 anime season and make midseason cuts! This week Doug & Kirill pisses off Bcom, which is something you should never do. The Girls in Beach Episode sets up Chloe’s arc, which tells you to stop playing mobile games and pursue true satisfaction. However, Bcom just pulled Ishtar in Fate Grand/Order, and knows gacha happiness is more gratifying than actual human empathy. Golden Kamuy gives us another great episode exploring Tanigaki’s past, which was almost too perfect. Kat then gives an incredibly long, but in depth review of how Run With the Wind’s cast convinces King to balance work with running, and live his life. Kat and Bcom reminisce about encouraging former partners to study via cosplay in their discussion of Bunny Girl Senpai. Ash has absolutely no chill on pulling the trigger to save Eiji in the latest episode of Banana Fish, and we discuss the existence of the Antarctic Mafia. Junko is having trouble adjusting to the modern idol landscape that has no modicum of privacy, but Leo thinks she should just take a swig of whiskey and power through. Finally, Karakuri Circus continues to get darker and darker, with a brutal episode full of horrors. Stick around for the final segment, where we discuss the state of the season, and cut any anime that are unworthy of continuing.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #067 - A Heart to Heart Inside of a Hart

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 21:56:00 -0500

Bcom, Leo, and Kat are here to bring you their thoughts on week 5 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This week we added a new section at the beginning of the podcast, because we felt we should embrace the nonsense a little more. Meanwhile, in the world of anime, Doug and Kirill learned that Dan Aykroyd hates it when you waste food. We discover more than we ever wanted to know about twin conventions in our discussion of The Girl in Twilight. We also have to come to terms with the reality of who would survive out of the three of us in a The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly style gunslinger showdown. Golden Kamuy taught us that peoples’ faces are finger lickin’ good and that Han Solo learned his best tricks for avoiding hypothermia from turn of the century Japanese soldiers. Run With the Wind prompted us to discuss work-life balance as well as the relative freedom of dogs and humans, among other philosophical questions. Yeah, it’s not just your average sports show. We discuss whether screaming out “I’m NOT a VIRGIN,” is the most effective way to defend the honor of your fake girlfriend in Bunny Girl Senpai. A whole bunch of characters get Banana Fished in Banana Fish, but we’re way more interested in the spicy mustard on Eiji’s wiener. Zombieland Saga advertises drive-in chicken to us for 24 minutes, but it’s so damn funny we don’t really mind, because it was a nice bird. Finally, we end with an episode of Haven’t You Heard?, I’m Shirogane, as Karakuri Circus takes its characters back to high school.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #066 - Leo Runs With the Wind Away from Kat

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 19:35:00 -0500

Leo, Bcom, Kat return with their rundown of the fourth week of Fall 2018 anime! We learn that Doug is an asshole, and that the show’s animators put all of their effort into lip-licking with episode 4 of Doug and Kirill. That’s followed up by cowgirls in Twilight, with an episode set in America in the time of Ii Naosuke…which we’ll explain. Golden Kamuy introduces a very goofy version of a legendary Japanese weapons designer, who frontal-lobeless Tsurumi pushes to embrace his weapons of mass destruction. Leo was also inspired to become a gigolo. In Run With the Wind, we speculate on who Haiji means when he tells Kakeru he’s always running with someone, and Leo reminds us that Prince is now finally faster than a butterfly. Progress! We break down Bunny Girl’s latest loose philosophical physics explanation for adding another girl to MC-kun’s harem. It’s LaPlace’s Demon, but that’s not important. What is important is Haruhi Endless Eight is back! Then we pour one out for Barbara, a nurse who finally got what she wanted in Banana Fish. Leo and Kat are getting a little tired of Ai and Junko moping around and being generic idols rather than badass zombie idols. Finally, Karakuri Circus stretches the bounds of believability with the events of episode 4. Let’s just say they’ve got some explaining to do, moving forward. We close out the podcast with Kat laying down the law on Leo, which devolves into an argument over who is right and who is wrong, which doesn’t go well for anyone really, lol.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #065 - Confessions of a Bunny Girl Kouhai

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 10 Nov 2018 00:22:00 -0500

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to cover the third week of Fall 2018 anime! We chat about Apple Bieber’s Harry Botoms in Double Decker. Then we move on to the hellscape that is avoiding terrible last names via marriage, and also crazed bloodthirsty rabbits from Monty Python with The Girl in Twilight. Golden Kamuy tries to go one episode without a million blatant dick jokes, so predictably Leo and Kat don’t love it. We reminisce about our own experiences with cringy confessions in response to Sakuta’s embarrassing moment in Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Kat’s cat confesses his love to Ash in our Banana Fish segment. We can’t blame him after Ash’s seductive candy bar song and dance. We attempt to justify some pretty lame looking C.G.I. dancing in Zombie Land Saga. Finally, Shirogane becomes one with Bane in the newest episode of Karakuri Circus and Leo raves about the dark tone the show has established very early on.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #064 - Fall 2018 First Impressions - Part 2

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 3 Nov 2018 11:36:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to finish off the second half of our Fall 2018 season impressions and choose the anime we’ll be following this season! We kick it off with anime about girls whose fascination with dolls goes way, way too far, before moving onto some pretty decent sports anime that no one is watching. Then we get into anime about girls whose personalities we don’t quite understand, before moving into two long running shows that we totally didn’t catch up on. Then it’s time to experience two weird high schools before moving on to two anime that start with “RE.” We finish off with some shounen anime about discrimination, chopping trees, thicc thighs, and genocide! Wooo!! If you make it that far, you will get to hear us break down our new review format, and the exciting news that we’re returning to weekly releases! Finally, we each list off our top 10 favorites of the season before moving on to our consensus picks and individual locks. As a sidenote, Leo is in no physical danger, especially if he stops bringing up Planet With. He's fine. We promise.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #063 - Fall 2018 First Impressions - Part 1

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 07:59:00 -0400

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back, and what’s that…the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and the scent of warm pumpkin pie is wafting through your window. That’s right, it’s time for the Fall 2018 anime season to begin! Tune in as we break down the first half of our Fall impressions. This season is filled with all sorts of characters, from girly-faced cops, to drooling wizards, cheery cheerleaders, and bishi archers. Girls find themselves in other worlds by tuning to the right radio station, slimes eat dragons and lead goblins, and college aged boys get tricked into running with the wind. Sometimes you have to conceive children without having sex, or build fish tanks in space, or even help out a girl who can’t stop cosplaying as a bunny. Maybe your sister needs you to pretend to write her light novels, or Satan’s second-in-command is addicted to fluffiness. The Banana Fish boys re-enact West Side Story, while some zombie girls are thrust into the idol spotlight. Bakumatsu rewrites Japanese history, and a girl in a bottle hurts Bcom’s ears. It’s all one big Karakuri Circus, and we’re not sure who’s holding the puppet strings. Join us as we try to make sense of it all!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #062 - Summer 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 23 Oct 2018 07:52:00 -0400

Leo, Kat, and Bcom return to wrap up the Summer 2018 anime season and dole out their final thoughts and scores for the shows they followed. For Angolmois, Kat breaks down the anime girl hierarchy for Bcom, explaining that “the hot useless girl comes first.” The final episode of Sirius the Jaeger reveals that the true power of the Ark was to contain the power of John Travolta’s sparkly disco hot pants from destroying humanity as we know it. No…seriously. During the Banana Fish review, Leo’s roommate Bob makes a surprise solo debut with his take on “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” which leaves us all speechless. Bcom and Leo disagree on their expectations vs. reality with the outcome of the final match of Harukana Receive. Happy Sugar Life goes fully off the rails in its final two episodes, losing Kat and Bcom, who were still kind of fans up to this point, but our review is slightly derailed by Leo insisting (correctly) that Bcom and Kat are both wrong about where the final scenes are taking place. Yes, they were on the roof. Revue Starlight breaks the fourth wall to tell us we were the giraffe all along, while Leo and Kat sit back and roll their eyes. As usual, Kat’s cat LOVES Revue Starlight and makes his opinions known. Kat learns why losing a lot of blood is bad for you in the final few episodes of Cells at Work! Kat also breaks down all of her thoughts on hair-pulling, bra patterns, and the necessity of consistent makeup practices while we laugh our way through the final two episodes of Asobi Asobase. Planet With delivers a profound message as it closes out its run, and one that Bcom feels is poignant in our current divided political climate. Attack on Titan ends its “mid-season” well, but pulls the rug out from under us and tells us we have to wait until April 2019 before they continue their split-cour season. At least it’s better than waiting years. We gave a few final thoughts on shows we followed outside of the podcast, before we finally moved onto our conclusions and scores for each of the shows we watched this season. We hope you all enjoyed analyzing the Summer season along with us, and we’ll see you in Fall!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #061 - Started at the Bottom and We're Still There

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 11:01:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo and Kat are back to talk about the 9th and 10th weeks of the Summer 2018 anime season. We have fun discussing Angolmois even though Amazon Instant Video is making us play a game of Fastest Finger First to avoid skipping the ED. Sirius the Jaeger brought us zombie vampire flame throwing knights, but then threw them away as fast as they appeared. Leo decides that Banana Fish is getting too serious to make jokes about…and then we proceed to do nothing but joke about it. Harukana Receive gears up for its fairly predictable, but still exciting final few episodes. Happy Sugar Life gets less artsy, and more fartsy. Leo says “non, non Banana” to Revue Starlight, but Bcom loved some of the fantastic animation cuts in episode 9. Kat is disgusted by the snot-filled onsen inside of her nose, as depicted by Cells at Work. Kat also can’t eat grapes anymore. This anime is really ruining her life. Asobi Asobase cracks us up with a robot literally designed from Kat’s speech patterns and an otaku apparently designed based on Bcom’s appearance (according to Leo). Opinions on Planet With continue to be split, but it can’t be denied that the show still seems to be building towards a strong conclusion. And in Attack on Titan, we might have actually seen the end of whiny, useless Eren?

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #060 - Happy Re:Sirius Life

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 8 Oct 2018 23:52:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss weeks 7 and 8 of the Summer 2018 anime season. This episode we picked up two new shows, Angolmois and Happy Sugar Life, as a result of our midseason cuts. We recap the events leading up to the current showdown in Angolmois and discuss Teruhi’s creepy Kuchii kisses. While talking about Sirius the Jaeger, we predict the existence of a show called Re:Sirius within the next year, and then decry the demise of eBay in Banana Fish. Leo wants 3D idols to get out of Harukana Receive, and Bcom expounds on why Happy Sugar Life’s take on pedophilia is actually somewhat more tolerable than most other anime, while Kat breaks down why the show’s insane cast is fascinating to watch. Bcom wants Leo to experience Revue Starlight over and over again, just like Daiba Nana, but he isn’t having it. Cells at Work asks the audience to care about the plight of poor little cancer cells, and it doesn’t quite work. Luckily, Asobi Asobase was so friggin’ funny these two weeks that we could barely contain our laughter as we recounted its various ingenious skits. Planet With continues to keep things real serious with some quotes that made us think about the nature of humanity. We close out the episode with Kat and Leo taking turns just straight ripping into Eren for, yet again, being a whiny crybaby in two otherwise pretty great episodes of Attack on Titan.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #059 - Frontal Coup Kisses

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 7 Sep 2018 18:01:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo, and Kat and here to make some midseason cuts this Summer 2018 season because some shows majorly let us down. Luckily, there are some replacement-worthy anime to look forward to! Our discussion about Free! got us sidetracked into a bet about who would better survive the world’s hottest curry in New York City, Kat or Bcom. Spoiler alert: Bcom would die. Kat was shocked by Ryouko’s take-charge attitude in Sirius the Jaeger. Leo details all of the similarities between Akira Tachibana from After the Rain and Eiji from Banana Fish, which is very enlightening. Luckily, we are saved from Ash’s hardcore child abuse by a few episodes of Harukana Receive that shake the moe richter scale, while still managing to get us hype for volleyball. Revue Starlight gave us more background on Mahiru, and resolved the partnership between Kaoruko and Futaba, which gives us yet another power couple who may eventually face off against Karen and Hikari. Cells at Work! likened allergies to the apocalypse, which is a metaphor we think anyone with seasonal allergies can wholeheartedly agree with. Asobi Asobase shows us the dangers of spinning your pen, the wonders of android boyfriends, and “French kisses,” interspersed with amazing stories of Kat’s trysts with engineers in the bedroom. Planet With shows us how justice is nothing compared to the power of clogs in the right hands, with a midseason arc finale that gets us really excited for the future of the series. We Rent Tsukumogami continued to make us happy that we only rented it, and didn’t buy. And, finally, Attack on Titan continues to pull back the curtains on the epic backstory of the various bloodlines who vie for power in the capital. All in all, I think this episode of the podcast was a coup!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #058 - Why So Sirius, McKYLE?

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 23 Aug 2018 01:40:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo, and Kat return to break down Summer 2018’s 3rd and 4th weeks of anime! Kat explains how Yuliy and Mikhail in Sirius the Jaeger can sense the Ark like those “rods you take on the beach that beep and shit.” Leo determines the relative sexiness of swimsuits in Harukana Receive. We learned that Karen from Revue Starlight can run around Tokyo for hours and still be perfectly fine because of the power of friendship. The Asobi Asobase girls play the same game from an episode of Doreiku, which triggers unwanted flashbacks in Bcom’s memory that are only made worse by the smell of Olivia’s filthy armpits. Planet With now has cats and dogs scheming together, total chaos! Also, listen closely for various special guest appearances by the podcasts’ very own cats. We finish up with Attack on Titan, which is firing on all cylinders right now with some engrossing world-building episodes.

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 04:24:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo, and Kat finish up the second half of Summer 2018’s first impressions with weekly shows airing from Friday to Sunday. We attempt to understand metaphorical giraffes in Revue Starlight and Leo gives us a full medical diagnosis of what makes Cells at Work! one of the best ways to learn about the human body. Meanwhile we can’t stop laughing at Asobi Asobase’s brilliant comedic direction. Finally, we take sides on the intergalactic dog vs. cat conflict in Planet With before finishing up with a breakdown of the first two episodes of what is looking to be an excellent new season of Attack on Titan. Stay tuned to the end where we vote on the top 10 shows we will be following for the rest of the season. The hosts all brought different strategies to the vote this time, which made for a dramatic finale!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #055 - Spring 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 19:37:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo, and Kat are back to wrap-up the end of the Spring 2018 anime season. We start off by covering the final episode of Megalo Box, which didn’t fully land its punches. Then, we transition into a marathon segment where we absolutely lose our minds describing the final two episodes of Gurren Laga…I mean, Darling in The FranXX. It was worth covering all 24 episodes just for this final segment! Afterwards, we detail a few notable anime we watched on the side, and then plunge into our final scores and remarks on each of the 10 shows we followed this season. Thank you for sticking with us for another season of anime, and we will see you on the beach this Summer!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #054 - Love is Too Hard for the Dick of a Gentleman

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 18:21:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo, and Kat return to discuss weeks 11 and 12 of the Spring 2018 anime season. Almost all of the shows we were watching wrapped up this week, besides Megalo Box and Darling in the FranXX, so we’re here to give our initial thoughts on all of the finales. Golden Kamuy decided to finish off its season by giving Asirpa a lecture about gentlemanly dicks and announcing a season 2 slated for October. Galactic Heroes finished in the middle of one of its greatest battles, which left us craving the upcoming three movies. Yotsuiro Biyori came to a tasteful, and tasty end, which left us theorizing a bit about the nature of the two brothers’ relationship. Steins;Gate 0 continued its slow burn of soap opera level mystery, and Doreiku, mercifully wrapped up in a “happy” ending for all of its slaves. Girls and dragons live happily ever after in Hisone to Masotan and Gearless Joe gears up again for his second-to-last fight. Wotakoi is another in a long string of romcoms that goes nowhere and says nothing about its main couples, which left us predictably disappointed. Hinamatsuri was one of the best shows of the season, and stayed consistently hilarious right to the kick-ass kung-fu street fighting ending. And finally, can Darling in the FranXX do the impossible, see the invisible, touch the untouchable, and break the unbreakable in ripping off every single Gainax show before its conclusion? They seem to be on track. ROW! ROW! FIGHT THE POWAH!

Bcom, Leo, and Kat are back to preview the Summer 2018 anime season that has just kicked off. This time, we have the delightful and hilarious Mandi from the Anime Addicts Anonymous Podcast on the show to help us get hype for shark-toothed boys and high score girls! Mercifully, this season Japan has decided to, ya know, maybe not broadcast every single anime at the same time like they did this Spring. That being said, there are still a few sexy sequels returning, and a few promising productions starting anew. Stay tuned for the predictions section at the end of our previews for a fun runback of our Spring predictions, and our new predictions for Summer.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #052 - Anime is Coming Inside Us

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 00:42:00 -0400

Bcom, Leo, and Kat are back to discuss weeks 9 and 10 of the Spring 2018 anime season. This week is pretty laid back. It’s all about giving people massages, finding true love, and letting bayonets come inside your perverted little hearts. A highlight of this week’s podcast were two Special Episodes we covered, for Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Darling in the FranXX, which were both very much worth watching, but for entirely different reasons. Golden Kamuy continues to be obsessed with Gleaming Boners, but only slightly more than Steins;Gate 0 was obsessed with fondling Moeka’s breasts, to distract from how sad Rintarou is. Bcom made quite a discovery about the staff behind Yotsuiro Biyori (which he probably should’ve figured out long ago). Kat and Leo voiced some small concerns about Doreiku’s direction, but are still happy to see Hisone licking her way to love in all the right places. Wotakoi could probably borrow some of that licking action from Masotan and improve their show drastically, but one thing’s for sure, no one licks like your friendly neighborhood Klaxo Sapiens. Loli dinosaurs age like a fine wine it turns out. “She’s actually 2 billion years old!” sayeth the otaku lolicon. Speaking of lolis, Hinamatsuri has a mom you should meet, but don’t fret, because she’s hilarious. If you’re frustrated with the terrible jokes in this description, you can take out your frustration by just punching Joe about 1,000 times in the face because he’ll just keep getting back up anyway.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #051 - Golden Krotchmuy

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 02:59:00 -0400

Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss weeks 7 and 8 of the Spring 2018 anime season. This week is all about boners of all kinds. Whether it be the various murder boners that Golden Kamuy seems to love, or Reinhard's boner for Kircheis in Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Or maybe it's Bcom's boner for young Gure in Yotsuiro Biyori or Dr. Frank's boner for the Klaxosaur Princess. Or perhaps its Julia’s boner for a 12-year-old boy in Doreiku or Hanako’s boner for shipping her boyfriend in her yaoi Wotakoi fantasies. One thing's for sure, nothing tops our collective boner for Megalo Box's continued dominance of the season, and there's just really no need for enhancement pills when you have anime to...ahem, inspire you! It's time to jump in because this episode of our podcast is fully erect.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #050 - Mahou Shoujo ¿Por qué? and Midseason Cuts

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 28 May 2018 15:45:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat and Leo are back to discuss weeks 5 and 6 of the Spring 2018 anime season. It’s midseason, and that means it’s time for midseason cuts, so stick around for that discussion right at the end of the podcast, because it’s a very interesting one. Otherwise, these two weeks of anime had some interesting twists and turns, with Mahou Shoujo Ore in particular leaving Bcom and Leo asking Mahou Shoujo “¿Por qué?“ Golden Kamuy got a hard-on for hunting wolves, while Yotsuiro Biyori showed us its lady boner (kind of) for its pretty boys and also exposed picky eaters for the hypocrites they are. Steins;Gate 0 threw on some crocs and socks for its worst cosplay yet, and Doreiku showed us that dogs can have feelings about slavery too. The Dragon Pilots spent some time with Wilson from Cast Away, and we hope they get home in time to delivery that FedEx package. Megalo Box focused on an intensely interesting military veteran who Kat wishes was actually the main character of the series, and Wotakoi prompted us to discuss that awkward moment when your nerdy friend is “cheating” on her boyfriend, and how to handle it. Finally, Hinamatsuri explored the underground marketplace of LCD TV resales, and Darling in the FranXX began to finally reveal its true message regarding gender and reproduction, and it’s straight out of the 1950s, so buckle up for that.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #049 - Bcom Loses His Dorei-cool

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 16 May 2018 17:41:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat and Leo return with reviews of weeks 3 and 4 of the Spring 2018 anime season for the 10 shows we chose to follow in our seasonal first impressions episode. This episode clocked in a bit longer than we expected, at just under 3 hours, because we dove deep into these shows looking to give you the best rundowns and insights possible. Honestly though, it’s really because we spent like 25 minutes on Doreiku. I don’t think there’s ever been a show covered by this podcast which the hosts disagreed on more strongly. Neither Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism nor Tsuki ga Kirei drove hosts to this kind of madness. Leo literally put on Rintarou’s labcoat from Steins;Gate and did mad scientist experiments to establish new theories to explain why Doreiku is actually just a grand social experiment. If the Doreiku conversation was a little too intense for you, stick around, because we took a break afterwards, and returned to discuss several of the most entertaining shows of the season in the second half of the episode. Seriously, do not underestimate the power of Hinamatsuri and Wotakoi to put a smile on your face!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #048 - Spring 2018 First Impressions - Part 2

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 7 May 2018 00:11:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat and Leo are back with the final half of their Spring 2018 anime season impressions. Things got pretty heated this episode at times, but not between the hosts themselves. There are just some anime that really bring out the ire of our hosts, and press all of our buttons. It seemed like almost all of those anime were in this second half of our impressions. Whether it was Doreiku and Magical Girl Site for Bcom, Hisone to Masotan and Comic Girls for Kat, or Devil’s Line and Bcom constantly editing the Google doc to annoy Leo, we all had to blow off some steam this episode. But that’s ok, because we made it through, and finally chose the top 10 anime that we’ll be covering this season…even if one of those choices left Bcom literally speechless…

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #047 - Spring 2018 First Impressions - Part 1

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Thu, 3 May 2018 17:02:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat and Leo, against all odds, have survived the first few weeks of the Spring 2018 anime apocalypse and come crawling back from their computer screens with LCD sunburn emblazoned across their faces, to report on the best, and worst, shows of the season. This cast is broken up into two parts because Japan decided to put ALL of the anime out at once, to, ya know…see what happens. Thank you Japan! Once again, you have given us so much…honestly too much, and we need you to stop because this relationship is becoming abusive. Anime fans can’t be expected to watch 50 anime in a season, but you can always expect us to do it for you to give you our honest opinions on what’s truly worthwhile.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #046 - Winter 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores - Part 2

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 28 Apr 2018 05:43:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat and Leo are back with the 2nd part of the Winter 2018 season wrap-up. In this episode, we get into an intense debate over the ending of After the Rain. Bcom and Leo take solace in the fact that Kat was super-wrong about something in Laid-Back Camp. Kat and Leo are craving more Ramens, but Bcom’s not so sure. Ito Junji concludes with two absurdist comedy episodes with a special appearance by the Kool-Aid man. The first half of Darling in the FranXX closes with an intriguing cliffhanger about Zero Two’s backstory. And of course, Bcom punishes everyone with one last installment of the CiTRASH update. Finally, we end the show by giving out our final scores for this season’s top shows, in an in-depth segment where we get deep into our feelings on all eleven shows we followed this season.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #045 - Winter 2018 Wrap-up - Part 1

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 15:29:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to wrap up the end of the Winter 2018 anime season! We went really long with this episode, so we’ve split it into two parts. In this first half, we detail how horny Kokkoku’s staff are for Juri and Shouko, even until the bitter end. The Mitsuboshi Colors cracked us up for two more fun-filled final episodes. Mercifully, Skilled Teaser Takagi-san ended…finally, though Kat still has some choice words for its conclusion. Then we get into the final three fantastic episodes of A Place Further than the Universe, and how Bcom cried so much he couldn’t even jot down accurate notes through his blurred vision. We finish out this first part of the podcast with a lengthy rundown of the final three episodes of Violet Evergarden, along with a light novel spoiler section to attempt to answer a few lingering questions that have irked the cast throughout the entire series.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #044 - Spring 2018 Preview Extravaganza

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 6 Apr 2018 20:33:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are joined by Brains from the Trash Pandas Watch Anime podcast to break down the upcoming Spring 2018 anime season. We go show by show through almost 60 TV anime, and give you the rundown on whether we think they’ll be worth a watch, or at least worth a drunken hate-watch. In doing so, I think we all learned a lot about everyone who took part in this cast. Leo is clearly a manga snob. Kat just wants pretty boys to be healthy and drink more milk. Brains, who has watched over 1,000 anime in his time, has happily accepted moe into his heart as the one truly great genre. And as for Bcom, well, it gets clearer every podcast that he has impeccable taste in anime, and in having that, he’s already won the pretty derby of life.

Make sure to stick around for the last part of the episode, where we made some predictions that will likely be very embarrassing for us in a couple months, if not a few weeks. As always, the timestamps are below, but I recommend pouring yourself a nice cold drink, maybe grabbin’ some snacks, and settling in for the long run, because it’s a good one.

Or, if you don’t have a lot of time, just skip to Comic Girls. Because man, that was some shit.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #043 - Dial M for Bcom

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 12:46:00 -0400

Bcom, Kat, and Leo return to discuss weeks 9 and 10 of the Winter 2018 anime season. As most of these shows are entering their final arcs, we discuss how we laughed, or cried, or recoiled in disgust at Junji Ito’s greasy, grimey goings-on. While some shows stumbled a bit, like Kokkoku and Skilled Teaser Takagi-san, others really took off like Sora Yori and Violet Evergarden. In fact, episode 9 of Violet Evergarden literally left Kat and Leo speechless… Come hang out with us while we make our final predictions going into the final episodes in the next couple of weeks!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #042 - Getting Wet in Your Typhoon

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 06:37:00 -0400

This week Bcom, Kat and Leo weather the typhoon of the Winter 2018 anime season's 7th and 8th week of shows. It's raining plot as we wade deep into the Winter season. We decide to open our umbrellas and get wet...in Darling in the FranXX's beach episode. Just kidding, After the Rain and Skilled Teaser Takagi-san both featured typhoons in their episodes. The Sora Yori girls decide to overcome their seasickness in some ice cold storm surges on their boatride to Antarctica. We also take a deep dive into our privacy-less future in the Ito Junji: Collection, and learn why you should never go to the circus. Mitsuboshi Colors, on the other hand, makes fun of shows that throw their little girls in baths for ratings, and Kokkoku decides to add the Incredible Hulk to its cast. We finish off with the Ramens teaching us how to hack the new girl from Citrus' phone, to get her middle-school aged nudez. Oooooh, Citrus. Never change.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #041 - Record of Trainwreck War

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 27 Feb 2018 21:27:00 -0500

Kat, Leo and Bcom return for the 41st episode of the podcast, and discuss weeks 5 and 6 of the Winter 2018 anime season. This week, they face their biggest challenge yet...trying to understand what the hell was happening in Record of Grancrest War. Leo and Bcom have a fiercer argument over the quality of a dance scene than the judges of Dancing With the Stars ever have. Kat assures us that the Linba ship is alive and well in Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, but Leo is still frustrated by the idiotic decision to play Lin at short stop. Bcom is excited that Hiro has finally stuck his FranXX in his Darling and it somehow gave him Red Bull wings. And as usual, the #quality block of shows collectively known as The Place Further than the Evergarden After the Rain, continues to knock it out of the park.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #040 - A Stray Kat Appears

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 17 Feb 2018 10:03:00 -0500

Bcom and Leo are back for the 40th episode of the podcast, presumably to talk about weeks 3 and 4 of the Winter 2018 anime season. But, Leo’s stray cat giving birth to a litter of kittens seems to have resulted in an anime-loving catgirl joining the cast? I’m not going to ask questions about this, and just assume that the Anime Gods are real and have granted all of our wishes.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #039 - Winter 2018 First Impressions

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 23:59:00 -0500

We’re back to run down the top shows of the Winter 2018 season. We’ve watched episode 1-3 for most of the shows below and we’re ready to hash out our favorites and come to a (mostly) agreed upon list of the 10 that we will follow throughout the rest of the season.

Winter 2018 really is a diverse season for anime. We’ve got some gorgeous shows, like Violet Evergarden and a Place Further than the Universe, as well as some shows that might burn holes into your eyeballs if you look at them too long, like The Ryou’s Work is Never Done or Pop Team Epic. It’s got everything from hard-boiled thrillers like Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, to iyashikei camping tourism advertisements like Laid-Back Camp. And it even has a highly anticipated horror show from a well respect horror manga author…called Citrus. Seriously, it’s horrifying. I didn’t know writing could be so bad. In the end, it’s just nice to be starting anew in 2018. Let’s hope this is the best year that anime has ever had!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #038 - Fall 2017 Wrap-Up and Final Scores

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:50:00 -0500

We've finally made it to the end of the Fall 2017 season and the end of our first full year of anime podcasts. It's been an incredibly fun year for anime, and this Fall season was no different. I feel like we've learned a lot this year, but also a lot from this last season of anime.

From Anime-Gataris, we learned that even when things are looking down, your virtual anime friends will help you fight your battles. From Juuni Taisen we learned that ignorance is bliss. From Inuyashki, we learned that Ichirou actually had a son this whole time...who knew? From Recovery of an MMO Junkie, we learned that pink bikini armor is a weapon of mass destruction, no matter who is wearing it. From Kino's Journey, we learned that THESE...SHEEP ARE ON FIIIIIRRRRE. From Girls' Last Tour, we learned...a lot. From the Ancient Magus' Bride we learned that anime can have Disney-level song sequences, that can actually work. From Blood Blockade Battlefront we learned that Leonardo's sister is a better open-field tackler than anyone on the New York Giants' roster. From Land of the Lustrous, we learned that cutting apart monsters just reveals the cute little puppies inside of them. And finally, we learned that sometimes Leo is right about romance anime, even when he's wrong, like in the tragic case of Just Because.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #037 - Bang Bang Bratatat

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 3 Jan 2018 02:57:00 -0500

We've made it to the penultimate podcast of the Fall 2017 season and we ring in the New Year by talking about weeks 9 and 10. We were having so much fun this podcast that we dropped all pretense of professionalism and just had a Cowboys and Indians fake gunfight in the middle of the Juuni Taisen review.

This week, Anime-Gataris showcased the best OP of the season by far in its wacky episode 10. Just Because inched closer to a very disappointing ending, but Bcom still has his fingers crossed. Inuyashiki tried to outdo 9/11 with plane crashes and it was dumb. MMO Junkie is over...kind of? Kino's Journey aired an episode from the original season in the wrong order. Girls Last Dab discovered the meaning of life and it was because of an encounter with robots. This is clearly the most NieR: Automata of shows. Chise got some much needed support and advice from the people around her. Blood Blockade's K.K. proved she is the most badass mom of all time and, finally the Lustrous gems went through some drama as Bort took a shine to Phos and left Dia in the dust.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #036 - Lustrous Philosophy

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 02:56:00 -0500

Bcom and Leo are on to weeks 7 and 8 of the Fall 2017 anime season.

This week Anime-Gataris dropped all pretense as the words Waga na wa Yuirin!!! were yelled by voice actress Rie Takahashi, confirming this show is indeed part of the KonoSubaverse, and is actually the season 3 we've been waiting for. Juuni Taisen spent two episodes on really boring characters that we'd just like to put behind us, and move on from. Just Because finally hooks Leo with some intriguing romantic drama as Ena finally starts to take her selfie more seriously. Inuyashiki "kills" but then doesn't kill two characters in a sequence that confused the shit out of Bcom. Yuuta and Moriko in MMO Junkie have finally received their version 1.0.0 patch and can start really playing the game they're meant to be playing. Kino's Journey continues to raise intriguing questions about humanity, even if it doesn't quite live up to the original in Bcom's opinion. The Girls dab their way through the Windows 3D Pipes screensaver and bake some cookies. The Ancient Magus Bride slowly but surely becomes more confident in her abilities and has gained a sweet doggo sidekick. Blood Blockade continues to be a platform for Bones' animators to unleash their wildest creative urges. And Phos is now so many gems in one that we're surprised she doesn't have multiple personality disorder...though that's probably coming.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #035 - Leo's Roommate is Literally Asta

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sat, 9 Dec 2017 02:12:00 -0500

This week Leo and Bcom catch up with weeks 5 and 6 of the Fall 2017 anime season. As we hit midseason several of the shows we're following really started to hit their stride.

Animegataris showed us one of the most authentic comiket episodes we've seen to date. Juuni Taisen got brutal, and ended some plotlines maybe a bit too early. Just Because continues to be totally fantastic and untouchable, and Leo will definitely not complain about it in this podcast. Inuyashiki places internet trolls in its sights this time around, and the MMO Junkies leave the internet to finally clear up some misunderstandings in person. Kino isn't even the main character in her own journey anymore, it seems, but the Girls are making the most of their last tour as they discover the magic of music amidst a passing rain shower. The Ancient Magus' Slave continues to annoy Bcom by teasing romance between the protagonists, but at least the King and Queen have arrived with the royal jiggle physics. Butlers and mosquitoes wreak havoc in Blood Blockade, and finally Land of the Lustrous gets really nerdy with its geology references.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #034 - Inuyashiki Blows Our Minds

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 26 Nov 2017 01:17:00 -0500

Enough premium customers purchased and listened to the Fall 2017 season impressions, so we are proud to now finally release a podcast covering episodes 3 and 4 of the 10 shows we chose to watch. Thank you for purchasing the season pass for this podcast and we hope to fully monetize our listenership to the greatest extent possible as soon as we learn how to open a bank account.

But seriously, this podcast is a little late and it's all Bcom's fault. Nonetheless, we soldier on and this time we talk about Animegataris' brilliant referential humor, Juuni Taisen's awesome, if inconsistent, animation, and Just Because opening up as many romantic possibilities as Gamers did. Also, Inuyashiki episode 4 opens with a scene that blew our minds, and some yakuza guy as well. That MMO junkie still hasn't recovered, Kino wasn't even the main character in her latest journey, and the Girls briefly added a guy to their Last Tour, but he took a wrong turn because of a mapquest that put them all in grave danger. Cats make the best Kings in Ancient Magus' Bride, Blood Blockade continues to be as over-the-top as you could ask for, and the most fanservicey of snails transforms into something resembling a Jigglypuff as we close out the episode with Land of the Lustrous.

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #033 - Fall 2017 First Impressions - Part 2

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 6 Nov 2017 14:43:00 -0500

Leo and Bcom finish off the remainder of their Fall 2017 first impressions with 15 shows that air on Fridays and Saturdays, alone. But, in the end, they need to narrow the anime season down to the 10 shows they most want to watch, and this season there's actually a large enough variety of shows that we have some disagreements over what we should be watching!

I mean, who knew that Dies Irae would be such an articulate and intelligently written parody of the current state of U.S. politics? Or that Love Live! Sunshine!! season 2 would play a hilarious goof on its fanbase by rescreening season 1 over again and pretending that it's actually different. Oh these anime studios and their amazing practical jokes.

We can't decide if Kino is a boy or a girl, but what's most important is that Kino is Kino, and that the girls from Land of the Lustrous have nice legs. Ancient Magus' Bride seems to have watched Britney Spears' "I'm a Slave For You" music video a few too many times. They've also gone past March in March Comes in Like a Lion, so I guess March Came Like a...wait...that seems...no, I can see why they stuck with the original title.

Anyway, enjoy the podcast, and I'm sorry you had to scroll down so far to get to the timestamps!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #030 - Completing the Sakura Quest

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Sun, 8 Oct 2017 03:05:00 -0400

This week Bcom and Leo get together to discuss the 12th week of Summer 2017 anime. Before we get into a bunch of this season's finales, Bcom offers up a stunning rendition of some Rick & Morty meme that he doesn't fully understand. Look forward to discussion of A Centaur's Life's terrible "ending," Princess Principal rushing into a decent stopping point, Restaurant to Another World never changing its recipe, Tsuredure Children finishing strong, Sakura Quest finishing even stronger, and our other four shows lagging behind a week and leading up to their finales with varying degrees of success. We believe we've discovered the true nature of the anime curse, and it's that the deeper you travel into abyss, the harder it is to escape that truth that most anime just ain't very good.

Things you can look forward to this week are A Centaur's Life deciding to do a Sesame Street episode about naming different weeds, Princess Principal rushing into its final arc, the Tsuredure Children continuing to soothe our souls, Sakura Quest being at its Sakura Best, Made in Abyss triggering Leo with multiple conversations about piss, and Char Aznable showing up in 18if.

As we close in on the end of the season, we have huge issues with some anime episode titles, and Bcom loses his shit over the pronunciation of the word crêpe, because...Bcom. We also pay homage to that one good scene from When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace, because Saori Hayami is amazing.

Bcom and Leo review the Summer 2017 season's 9th week of anime, and find some common themes. They theorize that some anime consultant is running around between different studios telling directors to add horribly long English titles, as well as random boob jokes to every episode this week. We can't confirm it, but we have a lot of supporting evidence. Stay tuned for a scathing review of A Centaur's Life's attempt to produce a serious holocaust episode, Princess Principal telling us more about than Chise than we really needed to know, Rage of Bahamut kicking into full-gear with its must-watch after-credits scenes, Made in the Abyss picking up the pace, and an absolutely batshit episode of 18if that somehow had better idol music than the entire Love Live! series. SHARK LADIES!

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 23:06:00 -0400

This week Bcom and Leo review the Summer 2017 anime season's 8th week of shows. This time around we learned that centaurs are the world's greatest horse-archers, Princess Principal inadvertently attempts the same experiment as the movie Trading Places, and even in a restaurant in another world mermaids are still topless. Tsuredure Children proves us right for cutting Convenience Store Boy Friends with one of its best episodes to date, Leo explains the similarities between his childhood town and Manoyama in Sakura Quest, and Karen single-handedly saves Gamers! from itself. Finally, we witness another spectacular dancing scene in Virgin Soul, Made in Abyss gets "Blaze Reap" into some new lore, 18if is slightly more comprehensible this week, and the Cheer Fruits participate in a rare, plot-relevant bath scene!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #025 - 18wtf and Midseason Cuts

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 23:43:00 -0400

Bcom and Leo get their knives out for midseason cuts, but only one show succumbs to the chopping block. We continue on to recap the 7th week of Summer 2017 season shows. This week, we apparently watched an episode of a Loli Centaur's Life and Loli Princess Laundry, Restaurant to Another World finally introduces that other girl from the OP, Sakura Quest continues to be excellent, Gamers! continues to be less about games and more about dumb, but entertaining relationships, Convenience Store Boy Friends' Mashiki has a lie in April to tell, Rage of Bahamut finally mentions Amira, Made in Abyss embraces violence against children, and Cheer Fruits introduces a surprisingly entertaining youngest girl in the group. And, in the highlight of the episode, we try to decrypt and understand the most creative episode of the season, episode 7 of 18if which featured references ranging from the Wizard of Oz to the Khmer Rouge...it's a wild one.

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 20:59:00 -0400

Leo and Bcom take the time this week to shout out a few stand-out short anime from the Summer 2017 season, and then continue on to review the 6th week of on-going full-length shows. This week, a bunch of shows didn't air for mysterious reasons, the Democratic Communists took over America in A Centaur's Life, Beatrice wasn't constantly screaming in Princess Principal, Bcom watched the correct episode of Restaurant to Another World, we shout out a great Crunchyroll article comparing real-life anime locations in Sakura Quest, and Gamers! caused some irreconcilable differences to arise between both its characters, and the podcast hosts.

nerdomandothernonsense@gmail.com (Nerdom and Other Nonsense) — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 00:50:00 -0400

On this week's podcast, Little Witch Academia's penultimate episode makes homage to Star Wars, the story and characters in Sakura Quest start coming together nicely, it hurts Bcom's brain to try to think about Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism, and Leo experiments with a new method of "not" watching Tsuki ga Kirei. We finish up with an epic rant by Leo about the decline of Re:CREATORS and a review of the final episode of Attack on Titan s2.

As we near the end of the Spring season, shows like Little Witch Academia and Grimoire of Zero have some of their best episodes to date. Unfortunately My Hero Academia hurts itself with some weak fight scenes this week. Luckily, Attack on Titan showcases maybe the funniest episode of anime, intentionally or not, in a long time.
