  • #75 Anyone Can Cook… In Another World With an Absurd Skill
    Nov 8 2025

    In this episode, we discuss “Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill,” or “Tondemo Skiru de Isekai Houroumeshi” which is an absurd title no matter what language it’s in. From the loveable cast to the extravagantly drawn food, we enjoy this anime like a gourmet enjoys a finely cooked meal. Join us as we explore definitions, why isekai is such a common setting, and some entrepreneurial ideas for how to parlay this anime into an ingredient-delivery service.

  • #73 Who Wants to Be a Kamen Rider? Tojima Tanzaburo!
    Oct 22 2025

    In this episode, we talk about “Tojima Tanzaburo Wants to Be a Kamen Rider”, which Cisco insists on calling “40sai kara Kamen Rider” (Kamen Rider Starting at 40? The 40-Year-Old Kamen Rider?) Learn more about this unique series’ plot, the history of Kamen Rider, the power of nostalgia, and why the Kamen Riders look like bugs. Just kidding. That last part is an eternal mystery.#tojimawantstobeakamenrider

  • #72 Perfect 100 (Meters) - Hyakuten Manten HyakuM
    Oct 15 2025

    In this episode, we talk about the newly released (in the US) film, 100 Meters. Originally a manga by Uoto, the same author who created Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, we glaze this movie so hard you’d think it was ceramic. Find out what we thought of the characters, sound design, music, and animation filming techniques of this modern masterpiece of an anime movie. What do Japanese people call a false start? Definitely not “100 Meters”, that’s for sure!

  • #71 I Spy x Family x 3
    Oct 9 2025

    In this episode, we talk about Spy x Family, with a focus on the first episode of Season 3, our predictions about where the series is going this season, what our code names would be if we were spies, and most importantly, how incredibly amazing the new opening theme song is, because it’s by the best band of all time, Spitz. Seriously. If Spitz made an 80 minute movie that was really just a listening party for their new album, Cisco would see it multiple times in theaters............................................................................................Join us to explore and dig deep into the world of anime and manga as well as the history and culture behind them through our distinct perspectives as a born-and-raised Japanese non-otaku and 30+ year American anime otaku!

  • #70 Gachiakuta: The Most Garbage Anime Ever
    Oct 3 2025

    In this episode, we talk about Crunchyroll’s #1 worldwide streaming anime, Gachiakuta, and our reactions to its plot, characters, and music. Despite being all about garbage, we like it even more than we like participating in community trash cleanups! Come for the boss opening theme song breakdown, stay for the biting social commentary and sympathy for death-metal level despair over the current state of the environment and world.
