This episode of We Watch 100 Isekai contains spoilers for Conception / Konsepushon, Episode 1 and the video game, released in English as Conception Plus: Maidens of the Twelve Stars. 00:00 - Intro 07:06 - Episode Recap 42:00 - Rating System TequilaZaku and ThermiteKitty give birth to another episode of the podcast! Sorry for the pause, maybe releasing two episodes at a time for a while just because we could was a bad idea to conceive. Also as always, this was recorded a while ago so don't expect any of the boys' references to be topical. Follow our heroes as they talk about who's fault this is, the RPG-ass OST, I Became the Mother of the Strongest Demon Lord's 10 Children in Another World, the baitiest phrasing, discriminating against magic circles, immaculate conception, the annoying little gremlins, check the official website for details, becoming a maiden, the monogamy of Digimon, sex with your cousin is the least traumatic, not seeing the conception, Thermite's understanding of what a joke is, the ubiquitous rating system that all podcasts use, actually having a gimmick and our hosts' age being ancient in anime years.

Use those timestamps! Zaku sounds extra bad, which is definitely a bit of some sort and certainly not an unfortunate goof-up. Also, for obvious reasons, no rating scale on this episode. It'll be back next episode! Follow our heroes as they talk about boosting the algorithm, old hits, the resurrection of Studio Gonzo, leaving your life without leaving your world, the secret lore of Episode Zero from two podcast formats ago, pausing my mouth, the treatment of workers, real anime fans, what's in the truck, EXPOSITION, high power level demons blitzing the children, liking Bleach in a sarcastic way, the contrast in the hosts' summaries, just leaving the big boss encounter, Thermite malding over the concept of a "native isekai", YouTube's lack of dislikes, lines on faces (feat. Mashle), tea trees, a wildly unpopular series, devolving into noises, loving a guy stronger than time, Zaku's eccentric tastes, Thermite learning to love clichés, and dick pills. Thank you for the listener mail, John!

This episode of We Watch 100 Isekai contains spoilers for Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody / Desu Machi Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyosokyoku, Episode 1. 00:00 - Intro 07:07 - Episode Recap  - Rating System TequilaZaku and ThermiteKitty did it! They made it to the big milestone! What better way to celebrate than with the Definitive Zaku Rant and a new「Word」. It's the rantiest rant episode. Also they get to finally break out that GREED ISLAND rating, free from the prying eyes of guests that'll point out how stupid it is! Follow our heroes on their death march as they talk about their big milestone, episode naming schemes, the emperor's new clothes of sadness, pre-emptively justifying themselves, the passionless existence of have code farmed out to your company, understanding bad game design, those terrible AFK Arena ads, the most beaten dog energy, escapist media that doesn't try to fix the problem, the token bush, the day 1 patch, the shitty CG backgrounds made under a death march, the lizardman that rules, Ainz Ooal Gown being too broken for AFK Arena, bootlicker media, floating Blender rocks, lizardmen carrying enormous amounts of all the world currencies, the ur-bad isekai, and reconsidering the self-awareness of the series after the whole recap and review.

This episode of We Watch 100 Isekai contains spoilers for Outbreak Company / Outbreak Company: Moeru Shinryakusha / Autobureiku Kanpanī: Moeru Shinryakusha / Outbreak Company: The Moe Invader, Episode 1. 00:00 - Intro 05:32- Episode Recap 49:18 - Rating System Otaku wanted! TequilaZaku and ThermiteKitty didn't forget about Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody, they're doing it next episode. Instead, enjoy this series, an escapist fantasy of a different sort than usual...and yet pretty darn similar to the less self-aware series. Follow our heroes to the Holy Eldant Empire as they discuss colonialism, that they like isekai written by writers (a big epiphany), getting a job, Anime Pepe le Pew, decoding the fantasy language, making dudes touch the fantasy orb, the anti-GATE, cross-dimensional Cool Japan, Favourite Anime: None Yet, discrimination-based trauma comedy, the weirdest OST, not talking about etiquette or cultural norms, Zaku's regrettable life choices, and the scene of the episode.

This episode of We Watch 100 Isekai contains spoilers for Drifters / Dorifutazu, Episode 1. 00:00 - Intro 08:13  - Episode Recap 33:09  - Rating System TequilaZaku and ThermiteKitty definitely didn't spend a month doing absolute nonsense before recording this at the very last moment. Especially since this happened during a massive hiatus and so they could have taken their time anyways.  Follow our heroes into a strange world of historical figures doing battle, but not some sort of Holy Grail War scenario, probably, as they discuss their own incompetence, Hirano Kouta, Hellsing, horny anime, cut corners, Battle in a Brand-new World War, screen darkening, calling a language they don't know a fantasy language, use of chibis, I am Oda, Oda is me, skimming over Japanese history, ominous foreshadowing, and vamping to pick an episode. Here's a secret: the episode Thermite picks at the end is not the next episode, it's the one after it for some reason. I don't know how they possibly screwed that up.

This episode of We Watch 100 Isekai contains spoilers for Gundam Build Fighters / Gandamu Birudo Faitazu, Episode 1. And general Gundam talk. 00:00 - Intro 10:46 - Episode Recap 45:04 - Rating System Zaku just wanted to rewatch a show he liked and managed to make an episode about it! And Thermite is also a Gundam fan, so this is just kind of a weird Gundam episode. That they swear is an isekai! This is a rare episode where they sound like they know what they're talking about, and maybe they do? Zaku just wanted to rewatch a show he liked and managed to make an episode about it! And Thermite is also a Gundam fan, so this is just kind of a weird Gundam episode. That they swear is an isekai! This is a rare episode where they sound like they know what they're talking about, andla is, their own "words" and "bullshit", being very Yu-Gi-Oh!, an unimportant dad, rad battles, the one person who doesn't know what Gunpla Battle is, Mr. Ranba Ral, the special hole, the real stress test for our beloved fan, reckoning with whether we can call this an isekai based on the first episode, the Gundam Valhalla Theory and the Turn A Theory.

This episode of We Watch 100 Isekai contains spoilers for InuYasha, Episode 1, as well as a little talk about the series overall. 00:00 - Intro 12:52 - Episode Recap 42:02 - Rating System Sorry, audio's a little glitchy this time around, and we had a bit of a connection problem mid-episode. Don't let that distract from this classic series, the epitome of "is time travel an isekai?" Follow our heroes as they talk about Rumiko Takahashi. the insane filler, the insane pace of the zero-filler Final Act, brutal monsters of the week, the Ani-Manga, We Don't Watch Boruto, the desecration of Change The World, dank centipede animation, the weird vapors, the flexibility of the Iron Reaper Soul Stealer, the opposite of life and another rant about the hollowness of overpowered fantasies that genuinely has nothing to do with InuYasha.

Hope you're into Zaku reading very dry statements from the wiki and the fun of taxes! Follow our heroes to the Elfrieden Kingdom as they discuss tax season, isekai titles, Thermite's bits, Souma, dying alone, a lore speedrun, our friends the Gran Chaos Empire, Spice and Wolf, source material changes, any sort of struggle, and sticking to the premise.
