I got one of my twitter buddies, Animated Ink who has their own show, Oldtaku no Radio (which is also pretty good) on as a guest to review the ghost waifu series, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. The amount of nerd-ing happening is really high. We spoil the series at about 18 minutes, give or take. I think they stop after like 2 minutes or something, but you know how it goes here.

This is a crazy yokai anime (which I really like) that plays into the yokai Japanese nationalist genre through it’s narrative and character development and I absolutely love this it through it’s inconsistencies. With a middle school protagonist. It’s got a lot of anime strikes against it but check it out lmao. Right click, save as to download. https://archive.org/download/UshioAndTora/Ushio%20and%20Tora.mp3

Hello, here I discuss episode 19, an Alliance episode where Yang responds to Reinhardt’s operation to implant a bunch of imperial agents who want to disrupt the Free Planet Alliance. It’s pretty cool to see the FPA fall apart and Yang try to salvage the situation.

Andy returns with a freshly slain undergraduate degree and the smell of a graduate degree on the tip of his nose, and we’ve decided to turn our attention back to the days and decisions that led us towards our degree paths and how they related to anime and anime podcasts.

There’s a lot of politicking in this episode. I suppose that’s not unique to this one! Ironically I imagine Bernie Sanders would probably love this show, since it resonates with his whole “young, capable people being proactive in politics” appeal.

I saw the latest two episodes of Naruto and really wanted to talk about Hagoromo, the Sage of the Six Paths and what I thought about his story and the story of Ninja-kind. Getting followers like a religious leader! In season 1, the first adventure that Naruto goes on is protecting a bridge builder, who wants to build a bridge to allow his town to have economic independence from a greedy mafia-type – which, in many ways, mirrors the story of Hagoromo and the thief in the recent episodes of Naruto. You’re going to understand me even if you don’t like it. Time Stamps: I talk about Naruto for 16 minutes.

I talk about one of the coolest characters in all of Gundam, Mineva Lao Zabi, or as I keep calling her, Audrey Burne. One thing I didn’t talk about is the director’s comment that she would’ve been made moe if the series didn’t sell. Her presence would be mediated by sales, which is still scary. The hierarchical structure of man-over-woman is, despite a nice image of Audrey, still in place.

I reviewed another bad show. I’ve been letting Hulu decide what to watch after each episode of Naruto that I watch so I need to not do that. If you want a shallow, grim show with anime querks and Tomino-inspired death counts, this may be for you. I tried a new segment where I read through some reviews on the Akame ga Kill MAL page.
