Aisling and Jesse begin their journey into the wonderful world of anime with a modern classic - Bocchi The Rock! A slice-of-life story about cute girls doing cute things, playing music, making friends, and struggling with anxiety. Will either of our hosts find anything about this relatable, or will the sugary sweet nature of the show destroy them before they have a chance to take off?

Hot off the heels of the infectiously joyous Girls Rock anime, Aisling and Jesse end up guided by invisible hands to an edgelord anime of the early aughts. But is it any good? What surprises await our hosts within this anime about superpowered mutant girls, shadowy conspiracies, and anime boobs? Will they love it? Hate it? Develop convenient plot amnesia to repress it? Only one way to find out!

Aisling and Jesse are joined by their special guest host, Devan as they follow the adventures of Hana, Miyuki, and Gin in this very special holiday episode of Your Brain On Anime! Will the holiday spirit get the better of them? Or will Tokyo Godfathers make them more scrooge-ey than ever?Movie Summary Ends @ 36:30 Patreon is live! patreon.com/AshLandsCrits Aisling is also on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ash_type_e/

Having survived their encounter with Elfen Lied, Aisling and Jesse sit back to relax and enjoy the no-thoughts-head-empty playfulness of Dragon Half. But will Jesse find this '90s cheeseball comedy OVA as delightful as Aisling? Could this be the beginning of their first major disagreement?

New year new... Hosts? No, Aisling and Jesse are still here, they just might have been forever changed by the things that they witnessed in this series. Horrifying experiments, psychic-like predictions about what the future of media and global connectivity could look like, and more angst than you could shake an emo kid from 2007 at!
