Ep. 93: PSYCHO-PASS

Its Christmas! Our 100th episode (wow!) pays homage to the STANDARD of epic POC protagonists - Afro Samurai.

Based (VERY loosely) on real life historical figure, this anime had to potentital to spotlight a former Yeo tribe missionary slave turned samurai in the best possible way. Unfortunately, while grateful to have the story told, the overall product did NOT meet expectations.

Now THIS anime is the perfect example of strong women of color in anime. Michiko and Hatchin showcases the vibrancy and resilience of two POC women protagonists in a way that has never been done before 2008.

December already?? YUP! And with Gachiakuta, one of the hottest anime shows out right now, we are celebrating the final month of 2025 with our favorite POC Protagonists of anime, donghua, and manhwa.

Billed as one of the most popular manhwa works in Asia, The Remarried Empress webtoon is a must-watch. However, beneath the romantic and comedic tones lie a political relevance that parallels modern day politics.

In Dali Delico's world, a layer of elegance and order, barely glosses over the political shakiness and corruption he patrols. Handling that, in addition to single fatherhood, is something he and his fellow nobles take on in this gothic mystery anime.

Eat The Cake, Anime! takes a quick look at this deceptively deep anime that goes beyond betrayal/revenge plot. Code Geass tackles themes that affect this world as a whole while navigating politics vs. morality.

The holiday season is here, but not everyone has the holiday spirit, and rightfully so. For the month of November, eat The Cake, Anime! explores shows with political undertones: a fitting choice for these strange times.

It's All Hallow's Eve! The last 'Slice Of Life" anime this month is Made In Abyss. We guarantee you've never seen an anime like this.

If you enjoy anime that involve everyday worries, sinister characters adapting to “normal life,” and a premise that lets you laugh at the unusual through the lens of the ordinary — this one is for you!
