Kicking off this episode filled with revenge plots, demonic possessions, political intrigue and...bread, John is delivering his review of the not so slightly mean-spirited romcom Masamune-kun's Revenge. Then CC explains why watching both seasons of Blue Exorcist is not an easily achievable flawless viewing experience. Last but not least, the gang discusses why ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. is a slow but good burn.

John opens up this episode by talking about why Sound! Euphonium is near and dear to his musical heart and possibly his favorite KyoAni show up to date.

Then the gang dives into the B&B (Butts and Boobs) fighting Anime Keijo!!!!!!!! and CC elaborates on why he deems it a legit good show, instead of another fan service-laden failure.

Dec 18, 2016

In the final episode of 2016 the gang discusses three shows, which left them with a bunch of mixed feelings. First, John elaborates on why Love Live! Sunshine!! is more of a mediocre rehash, than a good sequel to the popular idol series. After that, CC gushes over Berserk and explains why the new series is a bad place to get into this great franchise. Lastly, the hosts dig into both seasons of Active Raid to unearth its few bright spots and many flaws.

 

Reviews:

Love Live! Sunshine!! (1:12)

Berserk (2016) - Season 1 (21:49)

Hello there, welcome. Please, sit down. Relax. Enjoy a nice gourmet dinner, with a glass of high-class moonshine on the side, because we have a truly delicious show for you today. After a small news aperitif, CC is anxious to tell you, why Food Wars is one of the best Shonen Anime in recent years. Then he and John sink their teeth into 91 Days and explain what makes this somber Mafia crime drama so riveting. Bon appétit!

Nov 13, 2016

Two video game related series and an unexpected sequel provide the discussion material for this episode. CC takes the lead by ranting on why Ace Attorney is a subpar adaption of the popular Capcom franchise. On the other side of the coin, John weighs in on how Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy manages to succeed on all levels as a great cross-media experience. Closing out the show is CC's review of D.Gray-man Hallow, a flawed sequel to a more than 8 year old show, that is nonetheless worth checking out.

On this episode, that for some reason turned out even longer than the last one, 3 seems to be the dominating number. CC kicks things off by pulling the surprisingly enjoyable violence fest Taboo Tattoo out of the garbage pile. After that John increases the level of quality and heartwarming cuteness by reviewing Sweetness & Lightning. Last but definitely not least, both hosts join forces to give you their opinions on the newest entry in the iconic Macross franchise: Macross Delta.

John and CC talk about three very different kinds of comedic series: The unintentionally funny Big Order gets thrown in the trash, "And you thought there is never a girl online" delivers on the Rom-Com and "Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto" leaves CC both snickering and scratching his head, due to its absurd style of comedy. All that and a bit of news in this elaborate punchline of an episode.
