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

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

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!
