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!
