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

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

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!

Recorded May 10th & 14th, 2018.

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

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

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.
