[ANP | S3 | EP2] Sometimes, the creative spark ignites from the unlikeliest of changes – like trading our spacious master bedroom for a more intimate space to supercharge our podcasting endeavors. That's precisely what we've done, and in this episode, Emily and I unfold the story behind this unconventional switch-up. We divulge how this drastic reshuffle has revolutionized our daily rhythms and productivity. Meanwhile, our manga library continues to swell, and our calendar is marked with the buzz of upcoming conventions. I'm also thrilled to give you a sneak peek into my passion project: a dy ..read more

From the latest hits we've been binging to a sneak peek into the revamped structure of our episodes, we're laying it all out. Plus, we're setting the stage for Episode 1, where we'll unpack all the highs and lows of the recent Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Did your ..read more

The perfect anime to review on this podcast; Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad also ranks a solid 8.29 on MyAnimeList and is considered one of the greatest anime of its genre. We fell in love with this anime mostly because the music is amazing but also because it is so unbelievably relatable for Emily and I. All the trials and tribulations of discovering a new passion, learning and developing a talent, forming a band, gigging with that band, and finding success all while coming of age. The only critique we had for Beck was that the animators didn't animate the instrument playing correctly haha but it ..read more

What do you do when your very brief career as a Jedi Knight apprentice comes to a screeching halt cause the Empire wants to execute you? You turn your broken lightsaber into a microphone and start a fucking rock band!! This episode of Visions was truly a fun watch. Angsty teen dreams of rock-stardom and winning over the hearts of your adversaries with your music; needless to say, it was very relatable to our infamous podcast hosts and warmed their hearts with feelings of nostalgia. That being said, the music wasn't very "Star Wars" but it was certainly enjoyable. All the themes for the band ..read more

Break out the hippie crack cause this anime is TRIPPY. Seriously, I don't think it would be inappropriate to serve this anime with a helping of psilocybin mushrooms and a side of whip-its... Just make sure you've got a healthy state of mind cause this show is brutal and freaky enough to send you spiraling into a bad trip. Okay, maybe we'll save the psychedelics for the OST. Dorohedoro translates to "mud-sludge" in english and the music unit that composed the score, (K)Now_NAME, did a phenomenal job capturing the setting and emotional feel of "The Hole," the fictional city where most of the D ..read more

The 1000 Year Blood War Arc is just around the corner, so we decided that it would be a great time to bring on the Ban-kai and board the Bleach band wagon!! Que the nostalgia! Seriously, so many throw backs and memories from the mid 00's while listening to the audio that made up the first ~18 months of this iconic anime. Like Naruto, Bleach is a member of "The Big Three" and similarly is a bit hit or miss when it comes to the team's musical decision making. However, unlike Naruto, part 1 of Bleach contained much more successful OP's and ED's. As a matter of fact, 7 of the 8 OP/ED sequences la ..read more

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Garrett and Emily embark on the journey that is Star Wars Visions. Simply put, we nerd...the fuck...out. Garrett pops a nerd boner talking about the similarities of the episode versus the Star Wars movies and Emily nerds out about the inspiration coming from Akira Kurosawa on both the studio and directors behalf. AND NOT TO MENTION THE 4-TRACK OST!!! *nailed it* Listen in for the one song we review because it truly depicts the storyline. At the end of the day, everything about this episode is a job well done. We got so caught up in our own shenanigan ..read more

Well this one passes the OST rating with flying colors compared to the previous one's we've listened to! Wow. Yoshihiro Ike is a musical lord because damn...he got right to the point with these tracks and had us entranced. He isn't a God compared to original creator, Osamu Tezuka, though. I think we spent just as much time talking about Tezuka and Queen Bee (Ziyoou-vachi) as we did the OST this time. There's just so much information and cool shit happening in this episode ya'll! This remake of the 1969 anime is jam packed with action, emotional damage (queue meme), and beautiful music. This ..read more

Finishing out this series (so far) in style with season 2 of Fire Force. We want answers for a lot of things; all the way from how the artists for the OP/ED’s get their inspiration to why this OST was kind of a "goat noise." We were not mad at this OST but we heard the first one, and we want to know where that spark went from returning composer, Kenichiro Suehiro.  Aimer’s OP is by far our favorite from this season…why did season 1 get all the good themes!!?? More questions and less answers. We always tell you what we think but above else, we are grateful that the director switch up didn ..read more

We told you we wouldn't do it often and we haven't but this one is important, y'all. As we adjust to our new schedules and the things life just decides to pummel us with, we bring you an iconic song from Adventure Time (Emily fails epically in the episode so we'll cut to the chase here ?). Full of raw emotion and angst, I'm Just Your Problem represents the daily criticisms that we face on the daily and how we choose to respond to them. It evokes true passion from Marceline toward Princess Bubblegum but I think we can take something away from it IRL. Sometimes releasing our true feelings in th ..read more
