Thursday Apr 14, 2022
Thursday Apr 14, 2022
Time to shift focus to the current anime season, and cutesy cool romcom Shikimori's Not Just A Cutie! Does it live up to it's title and provide more depth than your average love story, or tread in steadfast vanilla waters?

Episode 51 - Trash Anime Friends (Sword Art Online S1)
Friday Apr 01, 2022
Friday Apr 01, 2022
April Fools! In this bonus episode, we branch out into the world of anime, as our trio rewatches the original season of Sword Art Online to celebrate its tenth anniversary and the franchise's twentieth. Will time have softened us on the catalyst of a decade of isekai domination in anime and manga, or is SAO still just really, really, *really* bad?

Episode 50 - Sword Art Online
Thursday Mar 31, 2022
Thursday Mar 31, 2022
For this special FIFTIETH episode, we celebrate the isekai GOAT by discussing the Sword Art Online manga's first two volumes. From Aincrad to Skull Reaper, Yui to... ethics codes... we deep dive into the manga version of the franchise that's come to define the industry this past decade. But is the original still the best, or best left forgotten?

Episode 49 - Claymore
Thursday Mar 17, 2022
Thursday Mar 17, 2022
Our month of shounen continues as Mike brings the classic Claymore to the table, a dark fantasy series about fighting demons with a big sword that feels eerily like a certain Rivia man... But will it still hold up in 2022, or best be consigned to the trash piles of the past?

Thursday Mar 03, 2022
We're taking a break from Phil's tyranny throughout March, with Sean and Mike picking some shounen series to feature. And so we dive into the sci-fi world of World Trigger, a bonafide Jump series! But does being in the top magazine make this the cream of the crop, or just another forgettable fight manga?

Episode 47 - Beware the Villainess
Thursday Feb 17, 2022
Thursday Feb 17, 2022
Reject love, embrace villainy. With Valentine's in the rear view mirror, we journey back to the world of webtoons with Beware the Villainess, a... sigh... isekai, except one where our leading lady is cast as the baddy, not the hero. Will this flip of the script be enough to win over our trio, or will one of them really, really hate this? Like, really really.

Episode 45 - Dragons Rioting

Thursday Jan 20, 2022
Remember when fanservice series were the hot trend? Well, we try to forget this time around as the trio discuss Dragons Rioting, a manga with some action, some T&A, and a whole lotta nothing, as our "will die if comes into contact with the woman" protag joins a mostly female high school!

Episode 44 - World‘s End Harem (Shuumatsu no Harem)
Thursday Jan 06, 2022
Thursday Jan 06, 2022
Another year, another anime season, another tie-in episode! We're tackling the risqué but super popular World's End Harem, which goes about as close to hentai as you can be without actually doing the deed. But will we appreciate the finer elements of this post-apocalyptic society sans men, or... y'know, just watch porn.

Episode 43 - Stocking Stuffers! (Look Back / Ashe of Purgatory / Invisible Man)
Thursday Dec 23, 2021
Thursday Dec 23, 2021
Merry Christmas! We celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with not one, but THREE short series. Stocking stuffers, if you will. Mike's bringing Ashe of Purgatory from the creator of Spy x Family, Phil has How to Make an Invisible Man from the creator of My Monster Secret, and Sean champions Look Back from the creator of Chainsaw Man. Will these limited series live up to the pedigree's of their mangaka's, or prove even the best of us have trash days.
