New To Weeaboo

Episode 183 is here! In this one, we watched another Studio Ghibli classic, Princess Mononoke! A highly enjoyable film, and a beautiful one at that. A bit bloodier than expected too. It's available on HBO Max. Content Warning: This film contains depictions of blood, dismemberment, and decapitation. This is discussed in the podcast.

Welcome to episode 182! We finally bring Symphogear to a close, with Symphogear XV! And to be honest, it is a near perfect way to end the series. Even manages to pretty much tie up all the loose-ends. Unfortunately, there is no current legal way to stream it in the US.

Time for episode 181! And this time it's the 4th season of Symphogear, AXZ! And to be honest, compared to previous seasons it feels a bit undercooked. Suppose that's what happens with a clumsy narrative and weak villains. And on top of that, there is no longer an legal way to stream this season in the US.

Episode 180 is here! And we're right back into Symphogear, with Symphogear GX! In this season our heroes fight a child... Okay, it's more complicated than that, but that's the core of it. And it's so freaking HYPE. Check it out on Crunchyroll. "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Welcome to episode 179! We continue the Symphogear series with Symphogear G! While it has some odd plot beats, it manages to surpass the first season in multiple ways. So generally, still a great time. Check it out on Crunchyroll. Content Warning: There is a scene of dismemberment. This is briefly discussed in the podcast.

Time for episode 178! We started Symphogear! Started, because this is the first of 5 seasons. Strap in, we're doing another long one. And it's pretty wild, considering the all the nonsense in the story. Good nonsense, by the way. Check it out on Crunchyroll. Content Warning: This anime has scenes involving child trafficking. This is discussed briefly in the podcast. "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Episode 177 is here! And it's time to look at some of the new anime for the summer 2026 season. Demons taking brides! A catgirl who smokes a lot! Girls playing Street Fighter 6! And magic child soliders who occasionally kiss each other! Check them out for yourself. Content Warning: "I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day" contains blood and gore. This is discussed in the podcast.

Welcome to episode 176! After a short break, we're back talking about an anime movie, Cosmic Princess Kaguya! And it's wonderful. Stylish, fun, and pretty gay! Check it out on Netflix!

Time for episode 175! We watched Sasameki Koto, or Whispered Words. And in contrast to the last episode, this girl is generally competent, but is unable to catch the attention of her best friend who she's in love with. Such is life. Unfortunately, it isn't currently available on any streaming services. "Dimension" by Creo and "Devotion" by Jim Hall are licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Episode 174 is here! And it's June again, which means pride time! And we start with There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless... And that's a mouthful, so most people call it Watanare. Anyway, it follows failgirl Renako as she somehow catches the attention of multiple girls. And it's mostly fun. Check it out on YouTube!
