This week we talk about Wolf's Rain a solid choice to be sure but unless you watch the 4 OVAs (which are actually episodes) you will not get a conclusion to the series. Regardless you are given a solid story with some character growth, and it is one that is well worth a watch at least once.   Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain.

Rick is back! And we talk about a lighthearted anime that left is feeling empty inside with such an open ending and nothing, but plot armor can help us. Much like this anime the level of plot in it is another lever. It seems like not matter what happens or what the main character does they always come out on top.   Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain.

This week Jak talks about the Starship Troopers not to be confused with the movie. This anime came out in 1988 holds truer to the Book then the Live Action movie did. This Anime was poorly done one where the characters were dry. The Character development was poor, and it takes several episodes to build up to a climax that ultimately never comes. This honestly is a show that should be avoided in Jack's opinion.     Next week's choice is Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement.

This week's choice is about 2 teenagers growing up and struggling with their self-image or social anxieties. Things a lot of people still struggle with even as adults making is easily relatable. The animation is bright and vibrant, so it does not really fall into an art style that Jack cared for and he felt that it really detracted from the movie itself. This was a movie that had great potential, but it floundered on so many fronts.     Next week's choice is Starship Troopers (anime). Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

It's just Jack this week as Rick was unable to join in. The choice for this week was not a great a one but also not a bad one. The character development was poor, and the story was lacking. The artwork for it was solid and the music was good for when it was there. But that is all that it really had going for it. If you are just getting into the BL genre this would not be one to watch for the first.     Next week's choice is Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop.

This week we talk about a carnival of stories. Each one is unique and interesting and showcases an artis style and their own story. But how Jack and Rick felt were on opposite ends with how they viewed it as a whole. While Rick liked each story and art style, and it was new and interesting for him. For Jack, it was not like that. The art styles he saw were ones he was previously introduced to and the stories where ones ultimately did not sit well with him.   Next week's choice is The Stranger By The Shore.

Appleseed is a classic anime that did not age well. The story was not done well, the dialog made no sense and there was so much plot armor that not even with all the sentence enhancers that they added can save it. Honestly, this is one that we feel that you can pass by.   Next week's choice is Robot Carnival. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

This week's choice was basically a big ol' recap of last week's. The move did add some more clarification and I did provide you with useful information but a large chunk of it was just a recap. The best parts were the resolution of the protag after the events of the series and what the current state of the world. Other than that It would have been a fraction of the time.   Next week's choice is Appleseed(1988 Version). Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

This week we talk about a short story that hits all the notes for us. It has solid character growth and the animation and art for this were top-notch for us. There were a couple of things that were a put off for it but overall it was not so glaring that it dragged the series down. This one is definitely worth the watch.   Next week's choice is Planetarian The Movie. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

This week it was just a bad choice for us. We did not like this one and the animation style was dated for when it came out. At least for the time that we believe it came it. The story overall left much to be desired and it was not something we would ever venture to watch again. Honestly, you should skip this series.   Next week's choice is Planetarian miniseries.
