Episode 54 - Kissxsis
Thursday May 12, 2022
Thursday May 12, 2022
Our final series of our second year and... it's... well, what a doozy to wrap this season up with. We discuss the twincest antics of Kissxsis, one of the most infamous series of its ilk, and whether there's any story or comedy to be enjoyed past all of the... yeah...

Episode 53 - Colorless
Thursday Apr 28, 2022
Thursday Apr 28, 2022
It's a rare sci-fi episode of the podcast this time, as we dive into a world without colour, but not a manga without it. Can this high concept translate into a great story, or just become a sea of confusing characters, concepts and art?

Episode 52 - Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie (Kawaii Dake Ja Nai Shikimori-san)
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?

Episode 48 - World Trigger
Thursday Mar 03, 2022
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.
