What Do You Say Anime!?

A mythical little creature, a short acne faced child, and those scary ass things from the movie gremlins. All phrases all used to describe the slang term gremlin according to urban dictionary, but what the hell does that mean for anime characters? A rowdy tsundere? A loveable yandere? On todays episode, we discuss the groundwork in what we think makes a gremlin, along with the subgenres that go into being a menace.Socials/Discord - https://linktr.ee/whatdoyousayanime0:00 Intro4:35 Origins of the term "Gremlin"6:37: What is a gremlin?15:11 Haruhi Suzumiya17:05 Goblin energy18:47 Kyubey22:43 Types of chaos and Pete's other examples of goblins28:25 Hobgoblins32:04 Tanya Degurechaff34:17 Miles on gremlins and Plato's Theory of Forms43:33 Anya Forger: gremlin, kid, or both?45:10 Discord submitted gremlins1:01:31 Mount Rushmore of Gremlins1:10:42 Final thoughts
