PSP #226: Hataraku Maou-sama! / Ping Pong The Animation / Gakkou Gurashi! / Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut

In today's episode, Marc starts off the show with one of his trademark terrible intros before diving into a devilish review of Hataraku Maou-sama! (The Devil is a Part-Timer!)--y'all may think The Devil is bad, but you know what they say: "You don't really know The Devil until you see him working at McRonald's..." After that there review, Marc previews Ping Pong The Animation, hits a bunch of summer anime while going off on some tangent about spoilers, then ends with an almost-review of Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut.

PSP #225: Barakamon / Danchigai / makuranodanshi / Victor Vran

In today's episode, Marc starts off the show with a review of the anime Barakamon--a super kawaii show about a famous caligrapher who "takes a break" on a small island after punching a critic (who's old and uses a cane) right in the face (IN THE F-U-C-ACE!), gradually changing in many ways as he spends more and more time with the quirky locals. After that there review, Marc checks out a few new shorts that, let's just say, are intended for an audience that Marc doesn't belong to; and then, after that bit of weirdness, Marc hits a few games--including one he can't talk about (and makes sure y'all know he can't talk about it) and just a wee bit more of Victor Vran--before calling it a night. Speaking of nights, here's to hoping y'all have lovely ones.

My Love/Hate Relationship with Himouto! Umaru-chan

Oh, Himouto! Umaru-chan, I love you...

...but I hate you, too.

If y'all haven't been watching Himouto! Umaru-chan--one of the many new Summer series--let me give you a brief description: brother lives with teenage sister; sister is perfect and amazing and just the best when not at home; when at home, however, sister is an incredibly deformed--shrinks to roughly the size of a normal human head--super-otaku who manipulates the hell out of her brother to get whatever she wants; brother, while he may verbally complain, always gives in; the end.

Ok, my description probably sucked, but Himouto! Umaru-chan is quite the ridiculous show that revolves around a girl who has two very different sides--a seemingly perfect public face and the exact opposite when in the privacy of her own home--and is quite kawaii, regardless of which face she's showing. I love watching Umaru transition between an almost-idol and the most annoying, demanding little sister anyone could ever not hope for; however, my love of this dies about halfway into every episode--the two that have been released at the time of this writing--because, when I hit the halfway point, I start becoming annoyed with her terribly annoying nature as if I was her brother, forced to deal with her because, well, family is family and sometimes you just have to deal with it. Except she's not my sister, I'm not her brother, and I can turn off the show whenever I want, so, what I am supposed to do?

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!
