Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #070 - The Kat in Twilight

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to cover week 8 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This episode Kat’s voice has been transformed by the power of medical vape and has entered the world of Twilight. Meanwhile, the actual Girls in Twilight get up to some very graceful upskirts and renaming themselves after Apple personal assistants. Meanwhile, Golden Kamuy goes full “bara” in a sea otter-fueled orgy worthy of the craziest shenanigans this show has seen. Prince acquires a treadmill to read manga while he runs in Run With the Wind, while Haiji continues to try to murder everyone with increasingly ridiculous running schedules. Sakuta has to find a way to solve two sides of the same girl’s emotional issues in this episode of Bunny Girl Senpai. Banana Fish has some issues with insensitive racial stereotyping, in an otherwise action-heavy episode. Zombie Land Saga gifts us with a fantastic episode, which proves once again that studio Mappa currently represents a shining beacon for good LGBT representation in an industry that typically struggles to depict such characters. Karakuri Circus goes full metal puppet this episode, and stretches the bounds of our disbelief in ways that start to worry us, as well as airport security everywhere. Finally, Leo explains the flower imagery of Bloom Into You’s latest episode with an explanation of the meaning of the various colors of hydrangeas in Japanese culture.

Recorded December 6, 2018.
