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

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!

Recorded July 14, 2018.

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

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!

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #053 - Summer 2018 Preview

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.
