In this episode, we talk about “Tojima Tanzaburo Wants to Be a Kamen Rider”, which Cisco insists on calling “40sai kara Kamen Rider” (Kamen Rider Starting at 40? The 40-Year-Old Kamen Rider?) Learn more about this unique series’ plot, the history of Kamen Rider, the power of nostalgia, and why the Kamen Riders look like bugs. Just kidding. That last part is an eternal mystery.#tojimawantstobeakamenrider
In this episode, we talk about the newly released (in the US) film, 100 Meters. Originally a manga by Uoto, the same author who created Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, we glaze this movie so hard you’d think it was ceramic. Find out what we thought of the characters, sound design, music, and animation filming techniques of this modern masterpiece of an anime movie. What do Japanese people call a false start? Definitely not “100 Meters”, that’s for sure!

Seriously. If Spitz made an 80 minute movie that was really just a listening party for their new album, Cisco would see it multiple times in theaters............................................................................................Join us to explore and dig deep into the world of anime and manga as well as the history and culture behind them through our distinct perspectives as a born-and-raised Japanese non-otaku and 30+ year American anime otaku!

In this episode, we talk about Crunchyroll’s #1 worldwide streaming anime, Gachiakuta, and our reactions to its plot, characters, and music. Despite being all about garbage, we like it even more than we like participating in community trash cleanups! Come for the boss opening theme song breakdown, stay for the biting social commentary and sympathy for death-metal level despair over the current state of the environment and world.

In this episode we discuss how “The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity” might be the most Japanese anime ever made in terms of its relentless apologizing, formal thank-yous, and characters with absolutely abysmal levels of self-esteem. Join us to learn about the puns on the characters’ names, wallow in nostalgia for when you were too shy to ask someone out (or bask in the glow of knowing your kid has finally made friends), and learn the subtle differences between ways to say you’re sorry in Japanese.
