PSP #224: Rolling☆Girls / Shimoseka / Himouto! Umaru-chan / Poly Bridge / Victor Vran

In today's episode, Marc starts off the show with a review of the anime Rolling☆Girls--a very vibrant and colorful series about a group of girls rollin' around a future Japan, attempting to broker peace between the various kooky nations--and then hits a whole lot of currently airing anime--like the still-delightful Shimoseka and the still-boring Classroom☆Crisis. After anime-ing it out for quite the good little while, Marc delves into a few video games, including the not-good-but-good-enough R.B.I. Baseball 2015.

In today's episode, Marc starts off the show with a preview of the upcoming point-and-click, survival roguelike, Skyhill, which still has a few months to cook, but is already showing quite a bit of promise.

PSP #222: Sword Art Online (Season 1) / Toradora! / Anime Roundup / Video Games

In today's episode, Marc starts off with a review of the first season of Sword Art Online and, inevitably, compares it to the first season of Log Horizon because that's just what people do--where do y'all fall with the whole, Sword Art Online vs. Log Horizon debate? After that, Marc previews Toradora! and goes through a bunch of Summer anime in rapid succession. And, finally, when they get all that anime out of their system, they go over a bit of what they've been playing, including games about goats and farming. Cheers and enjoy the show!

PSP #221: More New Anime Weekly Roundup...So Much More

In today's episode, Marc slowly loses their mind as they go through so many new series that they forget what's up, what's down, and everything else around; their attempt to watch every new series--not second/etc seasons, but only brand new series--is quite possibly the worst idea they've ever had, but y'all will end up "benefiting" from their terrible life choice. Anyway, Marc talks about so much anime--over fifteen series!--and a full list (with timestamps) can be found below as always. Cheers and enjoy the show!

In today's episode, Marc starts off the show talking about Anime Midwest and his various experiences at the little ol' convention, along with some thoughts gathered from other attendees--spoilers: they're not happy thoughts; after that, they move onto some new series from the Summer season--including Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri and Aoharu x Kikanjuu--before eventually ending with reviews of both Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji (Wolf Girl and Black Prince) and Un-Go.

PSP #219: Reviews - Re-Kan! / Previews - Sword Art Online, Wolf Girl and Black Prince, and Un-Go

In today's episode, Marc starts off the show with a bit of nonsense about how he's excited for Anime Midwest and sad he couldn't be at Anime Expo before eventually reviewing Re-Kan!, an anime about a girl who can talk to ghosts and cats who love panties...yep. After all that, they talk about a few other series--including the very popular and oh-so-commonly recommended, Sword Art Online. Cheers and enjoy the show!

Season in Review: Hibike! Euphonium (Sound! Euphonium)

Until the final episode, I was quite indifferent towards Hibike! Euphonium; I didn't love it and I didn't hate it, I just kind of kept watching it 'cause, well, why not. Don't get me wrong, there were a few great episodes in the bunch and it is a very pretty anime, but, overall, I just couldn't get into it, even though I love music more than most things in this world; though, I was never in a school band and couldn't relate to what the characters were going through, not exactly.

But then I watched the final episode--"Goodbye Competition"--and, while it didn't make me suddenly realize the potential error of my ways--no single episode will ever have that power--it did wrap up the season beautifully and gave me what I wish the series would have given throughout: great music.

Review: Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story!!) - Episode 12, "My Grades"

Episode spoilers ahead...you've been warned.

With episode 12--"My Grades"--Ore Monogatari!! has reached the halfway point of its season and I'm happy to say it's still going strong, delivering its best episode yet. I started worrying about Ore Monogatari!! a few episodes ago, unsure of how it would be able to keep the lovey-dovey romance alive for 24 episodes without getting stale, but, if the show can recapture the vibe sprinkled throughout "My Grades," Ore Monogatari!! will be just fine.

What is it about "My Grades" that works so well? It's that the episode is not just about Takeo and Yamato, but the wonderful cast of characters that are a part of their lives--like Suna and Takeo's parents. When Ore Monogatari!! focuses solely on Takeo and Yamato, the show becomes exhausting real fast because young, idealistic first love is exhausting with its excessive optimism and innocence, so, when the show is nothing but that, it's a bit too much; however, when we get to see the way everyone else reacts to their love story, it's pure bliss.

PSP #218: New Anime Weekly Roundup / Reviews - Log Horizon (Season 1)

In today's chubby episode, Marc starts off the Monday show as usual with a weekly roundup of all the Spring '15 shows they're currently watching; though, sadly, the recording of their thoughts regarding the latest episode of Ore Monogatari--"My Grades"--was corrupted and this especially sucks 'cause it was their favorite episode of any anime this week. Sadness aside, Marc also reviews the first season of Log Horizon after getting through the, otherwise, sad-free weekly roundup. Cheers and enjoy the show!
