Anime Fans Against Anime

This week we wrap up the last set of episodes for The Day I became God as we discuss the AFAA classics of child abuse and sad backstories.

Is she a lost child, or Odin himself? One thing's for sure, zany antics abound, and lightheartedness...or it would, looking at you RICHARD! (sad trombone noise)

The long awaited part 2 to our yearly event, Anime Roulette! Our last three shows were all childhood classics, so naturally we had a lot to say about them!   Timestaps: Pokemon Horizons - 00:00:16 Yu-Gi-Oh!

It's time for our anual Anime Roulette event! We each watched 3 randomly selected anime out of ALL ANIME, and now after a very long month, we are here to discuss them.

Back to Muv-Luv. One world with too much Luv. One world with too much Muv. Only one man can use his mech skill to bring balance to the multiverse. But at what cost.......

This is a show made just for us! But shouldn't there be more of it? Why are the 6 girls in some of the promotional material and 3 in others? Why do these other girls have such detailed designs? WHATS GOING ON HERE!?

This week we dive into even more disturbing Shinki societal questions: Why do Shinki feel pain? Why can they get drunk? They can eat! Where does it go? Are they aware when put into a box for years? Can they become Real Humans? Does their technology depend upon the ghosts of dead humans? Why are they SO EXPENSIVE?

Keep those fish tails dry, as we discuss My Bride is a Mermaid episode 15-21! Although if your fish tail is dry it turns back into legs, and then I guess it's not a fish tail anymore... I guess just try to be generically dry!
