Anime Not Be For Everyone

Oh Jeez, Rick! It’s Caleb’s turn to lead us on a journey to Anime-land — and this time, we’re diving into the world of adult-cartoons-gone-anime with Rick and Morty: The Anime. Join Rick and Morty as they tone down the wackiness, tone up the confusion, and blast off into new levels of melodrama. Witness their lives collide with alternate-reality versions — Mullet Rick and Space Morty — in a multiverse mess involving a universe-ending device and a mysterious blonde baddie who’s got Morty chubbed up to the nines. Will Morty have a tragic VR romance with a guy named Frank? Does Mullet Rick still say “wubba-lubba-dub-dub”? Will Caleb actually finish the show? (Probably not. It’s bad, guys. Like... really bad.)   Talking Points: Intensive Raps in Intensive Care • Cowboy College • Deep-Throating Corndogs Like Nobody’s Business • Bad DnD: Time Jump Fiasco • Topical Tropical Shirts™ Intro/Outro Music: Down With The King/Orbit by Good Kid

It’s finally here! Our long-awaited Episode 69… heh, nice. In a desperate attempt to stop Zack from describing a hentai for an entire hour, we landed on the next best (worst?) thing: Girls Bravo. Join us as we follow Yukinari, a boy who falls into his bathtub and is magically transported to a world populated entirely by women! There, he meets a pink-haired baddie who follows him back through the bath to explore our world for the first time. There’s just one problem — Yukinari is literally allergic to women. Also, he's kind of a cuck. Oh, and agents from the other world are trying to return the pink-haired girl. And his ultra-wealthy classmate Chad might biggest creep known to man, who dresses up in a banana suit and blows up a Walmart. Okay, that’s four problems, but who’s counting?   Talking Points: Only Focusing on the Stink Zones; Horrid Scopes; The Case of the Massive Bust at Horny Jail; Under the Sea Foreplay; That's a Total Hard-Off, Man.

This week, we venture forth into the world of awkward uncles and isekai absurdity with Uncle From Another World. Follow Takafumi as his uncle awakens from a 17-year coma—only to reveal he’s been living a second life in a mystical, magical land the entire time! Will he use his newfound powers in the real world to save lives, end world hunger, or do literally anything productive? No, of course not, you absolute buffoon! They'll just start a YouTube channel and bond over how bad they are with women. Naturally.   Talking Points: Klevin Clunt; The Yellow Pages; The PyraMid-Terms; Butt Pugs; Party Up!

You thought we’d leave you hanging halfway through DanDaDan Season 1? Wow. I can’t believe you’d even think that. We’ve never completely abandoned a show less than a season in… *Cough cough* Re:Zero, Fire Force, and like… several others *cough*. Okay fine, but not this time! We’re in it for the long haul — at least until the inevitable cliffhanger ending. But that’s not on us, blame the anime! So join us again as we follow Momo and Ken on their journey to gather his missing, magical balls. Along the way, they’re joined by a pink haired girl inhabited by a ghost with daughter-issues and a high-school sweetheart with a suspiciously mysterious room. Surely nothing absurd will happen, right?

Surprise! This blooper/bonus episode drops a week early because we got busy with our two favourite holidays - the one about hope, and the one about dope.

In an age where terrible live-action remakes of beloved classics have overtaken modern media, take a step back with us as we explore one of the first (and worst) examples: Dragon Ball: Evolution.  Even people who know nothing about anime have heard of Dragon Ball and the legendary Goku. So, how would you try to make this classic anime more “approachable” to a wider audience? Well… how about we start by putting Goku in high school. Maybe give him a very Spider-Man-esque bully showdown? Hmm... More focus on on teen romance and not the imminent world-ending peril? Wait, I got it! My pièce de résistance… let's make Goku white!   Talking Points: Joe Chaplin and the Coworker Tales; Sexy Shakespeare; Love Is Blindz; The FUPAck Intro/Outro Music: Down With The King/Orbit by Good Kid
