Blue Comet SPT Layzner
23/01/2016I feel like I’m going to get so much flack for this, but this show left a bitter taste in my mouth. Ryousuke Takahashi, you turned this show into Fist of the North Star and 1984 after a really great space opera, like, what? Generic Environmentalism. Enjoyable love triangles. The most basic flower and love […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 15: The Battle of Amlitzer
21/01/2016This episode of Legend of the Galactic Heroes’s Achilles heel. This is really jarring. (a problem of the remastering) A pretty good general critique of the show. right click, save as to download. End Theme: Life is Sweet – Paul Freeman

Parasyte Live-Action
15/01/2016I review the two live-action films based on the Parasyte story, directed by Takashi Yamazaki. Both are pretty damn good and filled with interesting lighting, imagery and while a little bit fast paced, well-put together. Especially in comparison to the other bad Japanese live-actions I’ve seen. That said, it’s not a masterpiece, more like the […]

Ressentiment: Otaku Masculinity
14/01/2016This episode is a lot more positive and joyful than I thought it would be. It is episode 100, so I decided that I should review something meaningful, so I reviewed Hanazawa Kengo’s first manga, Ressentiment. This is one of the few manga that I’ve read from start to finish, and re-reading it has been […]

Pro-Experimentation Episode
22/12/2015This episode starts off pretty strong talking about Kenji Mizoguchi’s Streets of Shame. But it spirals out of control and eventually we talk about the resurgence of the Japanese right, and eventually GATE. Right click, save as to download.

Yamada-Kun and the 7 Witches
11/12/2015For the first time in a long time, I talk about news. The news in question is Makoto Shinkai’s new movie coming out next August, titled “Kimi no Na ha” and that Diskotech is going to be putting out Night on the Galactic Railroad (thank you Diskotech). And then I review an anime that is […]

Ace of Diamond
03/12/2015Because I’ve been consistently watching this show for 2 years (I checked the old episodes and verified this), I decided to go ahead and start talking about it. It has so much for people who are into baseball anime… It’s also really silly, as serious as high school baseball is, it’s still high school xD. […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 14: Liberation of the Frontiers
01/12/2015In this episode, we learn why Scorched Earth tactics violate human rights, but that said all of this is over contested territories between two different systems of coercion. I mean, the romanticism of frontier life is the libidinal economy of colonialism, but whatever. lol. A lot of us dream of a better life and I’m […]

Arby n the Chief Season 8 Premiere Discussion
06/11/2015I’m honestly disappointed in this episode. There’s a decent amount of smart elements going into this episode, but overall it’s kind of a mess. Some of the live-action shots are meh, some of the editing is also meh too. I have faith though. Right click, save as to download. End theme: AnTC S8 Track 5 […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 13: When the Rain Comes
12/10/2015Here’s the song used in the scene where young Ulrich is running through the forest with young Vier. I know very little about classical music, but I’m sure someone could use this information. Shoutout to Gustav Mahler, you did good buddy, you made it into an anime. Right click, save as to download.

Streets of Shame Discussion
08/10/2015I talk about Streets of Shame and episode 3 of Paranoia Agent to justify talking about the film. I have no business talking about this movie beyond appreciate it’s filmic qualities and I didn’t do enough of that. Right click, save as to download. Ed theme: Theremin Over the Rainbow

my life on a recorded track #1
06/10/2015In lieu of another LoGH episode, I just talk a little bit about what’s going on with my life and some brief thoughts about the relationship between consumption and advertising in anime podcasting that speaks to a much broader pattern of consumption and advertising among young people of this age, I don’t think I contributed […]

Monster Musume no Nichijou is bad
17/09/2015I feel like I disappoint my shounen master Satoshi Kon by watching a show like this, but here I am. Right click, save as to download. ED theme: THE ED THEME TO DEATH PARADE I would probably be more consistent if not for Key and Peele videos on YouTue hahaha.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 12: Advance into Imperial Territory
14/09/2015This episode is about the political opportunism that comes with people trying to gain seats at the highest level of political authority, looking back there’s a few more things I should’ve talked about, but this episode was already almost the length of the actual episode so it’s whatever, if you have a comment feel free […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 11: The Actress Exits
09/09/2015I talk about some comments in this episode. I don’t think this episode was up to par. It was strange because when I first watched this episode a few weeks ago it was a lot more interesting, but on this watch-through it was kind of meh, even though I do think this episode’s set-up is […]
