Boy oh boy, we recorded a monstersode! I managed to whittle it down to 3 very concise hours of chat, goofs and takes. But it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do for the pod. Watching these 3 episodes comes in second. Big shoutouts to Joss, who guests on this episode and even brings along an "is it an isekai" for discussion, 1971's Mr Benn. Is it an isekai? A slice-of-life? Or even a magical girl anime? Find out at (23:16).
We're tackling a new isekai starting this week. It's High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World. What a mouthful! That's not the only mouthful we'll be talking about on this one. It's a rough ride, but your intrepid hosts made it all the way through and now we're knee deep in free market economics and... horse oil? What the hell? As per usual we talk about various production details about the show before getting into the episode recaps. Production notes start at (40:25)
In this episode we cover:
Episode 1: High School Prodigies Have Arrived in Another World! (54:49)
Episode 2: Masato Is Serious About Making Money! (1:39:14)
Episode 3: It Seems Roo Can Decide Her Own Worth! (2:07:35)
Closing Thoughts (2:43:30)
This is an anime that is going to spark a lot of disdain. It's packed front to back with dogshit ideas an ideology. I don't think any of us on this episode thought this was a good anime in any way, but it is definitely a work that falls squarely within our purview. If we're able to stomach some of it's more reprehensible elements we will absolutely find a story about another world that is just begging and clamouring to hold up a mirror to our own. A dirty, greasy, horse oil smeared mirror. We hope you like this episode as much as we liked recording it!
