We arrive at our second to last Sign of Affection episode. But first, we catch up, IRL Sarah is back from her vacation and managed not to get fried! Meanwhile Joe has watched some anime and done pretty much nothing else.In a sign of affection we get into our beloved side character drama. Hey, wouldn’t it suck if you liked your friend but they were into someone else? Well imagine that happened for four different people. At least Rin is having a better time and we get to see Yuki and Itsuomi have fun couple moments. We’ll see how it all ends next week!
We jump to three episodes this week! But first, Sarah and Joe had pretty mild weeks. Not much going on it seems so we talk about a bunch of random stuff.In A Sign of Affection, Yuki and Itsuomi take the plunge! Wow! So quick! And we get what seems like an end-of-show credit sequence on episode 6, so that’s pretty weird. There is more to this show for sure, we gotta learn like backstories and stuff. But with only 5 episodes left, how much can we learn??
We’re return this week for episodes 3 and 4. But first, Sarah and Joe catch up on the trials of social drinking as not so outgoing folks. In a sign of affection we go to Costo. Yuki and Itsuomi are hitting it off pretty well even though everyone thinks he’s weird and distant. It’s actually going fine. Don’t worry about it. Oushi is worried about it, but we don’t really like him so who cares. Surely no drama will happen and everything will be straight-forward from here! As stated in the pod, next time we’ll be watching three episodes so look forward to a slightly faster pace!
This week we start a brand new show! But first, Sarah and Joe catch up on our lives. Joe has now watched both Vampire Hunter D movies while Sarah showed her mom Attack on Titan. Then we get into our new show a Sign of Affection! We meet Yuki, a college kid who starts to catch some feelings for the tall and mysterious Itsuomi. Yuki, who is deaf, must put herself out there to get his attention! And she makes tons of progress compared to our other shows. Will we see some on-screen romance? Between adults? Can this truly be???
We say au revoir to revolutionary France this week as we send off the Rose of Versailles with the 2025 movie! But first, we talk about… the omegaverse??We’re really on one today. Then we watch the movie and it’s, uh, different than the show. More musical, more tearful, more…uh….shallow. Come check it out!Next time it’s back to Chihayafuru.
We’ve done it, we’ve reached the end of The Rose of Versailles, but just the beginning of the French Revolution. It’s been a long and really great series that both of us have enjoyed watching. But like our friends Oscar and Andre, eventually all good things must come to an end. What the future holds is anyone’s guess… Except it’s not a guess for us because next week we are going to dip our toe one final time to watch the 2025 Studio MAPPA produced reboot The Rose of Versailles movie, which you can watch on Netflix. We’re going to be so back, for one final week! So join us in that, because afterwards it’s Chihayafuru Season 2.
Here we are, at the penultimate episode of our coverage of the Rose of Versailles. IRL, Joe is knee deep in Star Wars Rebels and books. Meanwhile, Sarah has been dating in Stardew Valley and IRL!In the Rose of Versailles, the Revolution is here! Fighting erupts in Paris and Oscar and Andre must decide what they’re going to do! But first, they have to get together and elope. Finally, after 36 episodes, the couple gets together! Hurray! Just in time to die! They go full defection and try to fight their way though the Paris streets.
We close in on the end. In our real lives, Joe has watched the first episode of like four anime series and isn’t that confident in how they’ll turn out. Sarah, meanwhile, continues her quest to watch all of Survivor.In the Rose of Versailles, things are kicking off. Oscar is dying and possibly turning traitor (thank god!) while Andre is trying to keep it together long enough to make it to the end of the show. At Versailles, Queen Marie is trying to tamp down dissent with force while King Louis doesn’t know what to do. The stage is set for the powder keg to blow. Only 4 episodes left!
This week, we inch our way to the end. But first, we talk about our personal lives. And we…have some trouble remembering what we did. Panic buy thing? Play games? Watch TV? Who can remember….In the Rose of Versailles, the French Guard is tasked with protecting a Spanish Duke from the wicked Saint-Just. Will they succeed? And then, Oscar and Andre almost are victims of the mob but are saved by Fersen! Right before he…exits the story? Then it’s the Estate’s General! Lots going on!
This week we’re both feeling a bit under the weather. That didn’t stop us from doing stuff like going out till 2:30 am or hosting big meetings. Nope, we still did that stuff.In the Rose of Versailles, everything changes. Oscar’s affection for Fersen boils over and she decides to change careers. This domino knocks down the next as Andre completely loses his cool and freaks out resulting in some odd scenes. Then we meet the French Guard. Tensions are high between the noble Oscar and the commoners in the guard. Will she be able to navigate this one? Will she swap loyalties? Can Oscar be saved??
This week the Black Knight arrives! But first, Joe and Sarah talk about their lives. Joe has been staying up too late and it’s brutal, while Sarah has been trying to rehouse the dog she found. It’s been a long one ya’ll.In the Rose of Versailles, Fersen is back baby! He returns from France, and he’s totally over Marie. It’s True! And you know who else is over their crush? Oscar. She’s done. Done. Well…maybe just one dance… Then she distracts herself by persuing the Black Knight, a robin hood type guy. Oscar wants to catch him and Andre is eager to help. It goes real bad for him…
This week the Diamond Necklace Affair! But first we catch up. Joe went to Dallas and drank a lot. Woo hoo! Meanwhile, Sarah has watched Severance.In the Rose of Versailles, Jeanne pulls off her biggest “prank” yet. She scams Rohan into buying an ungodly expensive necklace and then immediately gets caught. Then we all go to trial. It goes bad for pretty much everyone especially Marie Antoinette who wasn’t even there. Let’s see what else… Oscar is accused of being a lesbian and Rosalie gets kidnapped basically. It’s a really dense three episodes.
High drama this week as we round the half-way point of this show! IRL, Sarah has gone to see the live action Sailor Moon performance, which she definitely remembers that she did! And Joe watched Casablanca for the first time, so we are both sticking to the oldies around here.In the Rose of Versailles we take a dark turn. First, we learn about Charlotte’s cursed fate as her mother marries her off. Then we check in to see how Fersen is doing, and it’s, uh, not great. Then we round it out with a Jeanne episode as she settles into her sexy evil villain trope with complete delight. Things are picking up folks and we’ll see where it goes!
This week, we near the series midpoint. In our actual lives, Joe has been watching Hunter x Hunter again and it’s, uh, happening. Sarah is getting into the hunter mindset as the new monster hunter has released. We talk about other stuff too. In the Rose of Versailles, it’s REVENGE TIME! Oh, wait, I’m sorry. Did I say revenge time? I mean, TIME FOR EVERYONE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH OSCAR! Also, everyone runs into everyone else immediately. Rosalie sees Jeanne, Rosalie sees Polignac, Rosalie sees Fersen. Okay, I guess it’s all Rosalie this week. But that’s okay because she our favorite assassin!
This week, we're out for revenge! But first, we catch up on what we did this week... we did do something this week right? Oh yeah! Video games. We talk about video games and our disappointment with recent reality tv shows. Maybe if they added another island. That could fix it.In the Rose of Versailles, Oscar learns that the peasant life isn't a good one. Things are deteriorating in the rural lands of France. Mean while, Marie Antoinette is gambling all of the riches of France to the real big bad, some opera singer. What was that? You thought Duke Orlean was the big bad? Pfft, idiot.
We return once more to check in on the new king and queen. But first, we catch up on things. Joe and Sarah have played some video games and we talk about them for a bit.In the Rose of Versailles, we check back in with Jeanne and see how her life is progressing. Meanwhile Rosalie has the worst time. Queen Marie is failing miserably as Fersen goes back home. And Oscar gets into a duel. Pretty uneventful if you ask us…
This week the sun sets! But first, we catch up on what we’ve been doing. Sarah’s been hanging out with coworkers while Joe has been slogging through HunterXHunter.In the Rose of Versailles, we cover a lot of ground. We finally meet Fersen and see how his love (?) affair with Marie might cause problems. Then we spend some time with Andre and his feelings. Lastly, our favorite prince and princess get a promotion as King Louis XV finally bites it!
Welcome back! We hit one year this week and we’re jazzed about it. We recorded a bonus episode on Jurassic Park that you should listen to if you haven’t! It’s a good movie! Then we jump back into The Rose of Versailles. We wrap up our Du Barry drama with a very plot light, but stylish episode. Then we go to Paris, where things are, uh, not great. Oscar stops an assassination attempt and we’re introduced into some more young women from a distant royal line. New schemers are in play!
Life continues and so do ours. IRL we catch up on our lives, Sarah has been watching the HBO series Insecure, while Joe has watched a bunch of mech anime (surprise surprise).In The Rose of Versailles, we get our first taste of palace politics. Marie Antoinette becomes top dog at court and uses that power to immediately pick a fight with the second most powerful woman, Countess Du Barry. Oscar is content to sit back and watch the firework, up until she and her (not dead) mom get dragged into it. How will Oscar get out of this one? [ETA till French Revolution: 19 years]
Welcome to our fifth show we’ve covering, the classic The Rose of Versailles (1979)! But first, we catch up on what we’ve been doing and watching. Then we talk about Dandadan and why we not super hot on it.Then we jump into the past and meet our main character Oscar as she decides if she will venture into manhood or womanhood! Then we meet our second lead Marie Antoinette as she is given away to France. Good thing no evil dukes are around to mess things up, nope, never…
