Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #062 - Summer 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores

Leo, Kat, and Bcom return to wrap up the Summer 2018 anime season and dole out their final thoughts and scores for the shows they followed. For Angolmois, Kat breaks down the anime girl hierarchy for Bcom, explaining that “the hot useless girl comes first.” The final episode of Sirius the Jaeger reveals that the true power of the Ark was to contain the power of John Travolta’s sparkly disco hot pants from destroying humanity as we know it. No…seriously. During the Banana Fish review, Leo’s roommate Bob makes a surprise solo debut with his take on “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” which leaves us all speechless. Bcom and Leo disagree on their expectations vs. reality with the outcome of the final match of Harukana Receive. Happy Sugar Life goes fully off the rails in its final two episodes, losing Kat and Bcom, who were still kind of fans up to this point, but our review is slightly derailed by Leo insisting (correctly) that Bcom and Kat are both wrong about where the final scenes are taking place. Yes, they were on the roof. Revue Starlight breaks the fourth wall to tell us we were the giraffe all along, while Leo and Kat sit back and roll their eyes. As usual, Kat’s cat LOVES Revue Starlight and makes his opinions known. Kat learns why losing a lot of blood is bad for you in the final few episodes of Cells at Work! Kat also breaks down all of her thoughts on hair-pulling, bra patterns, and the necessity of consistent makeup practices while we laugh our way through the final two episodes of Asobi Asobase. Planet With delivers a profound message as it closes out its run, and one that Bcom feels is poignant in our current divided political climate. Attack on Titan ends its “mid-season” well, but pulls the rug out from under us and tells us we have to wait until April 2019 before they continue their split-cour season. At least it’s better than waiting years. We gave a few final thoughts on shows we followed outside of the podcast, before we finally moved onto our conclusions and scores for each of the shows we watched this season. We hope you all enjoyed analyzing the Summer season along with us, and we’ll see you in Fall!

Recorded October 11th and 15th, 2018.
