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.
