Boku No Stop!

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 23-25 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Content warnings: deaths in all shapes and sizes, gaslighting, body horror This week, we wrap our journey into freedom with IBO season one's climax, learn about Canadian politics through Leningrad metaphor, try to calculate the best way to orbital drop a 90 year old man safely into a crowded city, and finally decide that rather than grapple with the themes of this episode, to take a 25 minute detour into dog fashion and anime candle discussion. It's a hell of a time, folks. Wish Chris a farewell as we leave this feed behind for paywalled waters.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 21-22 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Content warnings: brutal child death via crushing A hero falls today, but nobody has to like it... and the cast don't! They fucking hate it, actually. Thankfully, your delightful hosts are having a good time as we move into the endgame of IBO: a road trip across Canada, with wacky neighbor "Montag" showing up for hijinks, and the denizens of Gjallarhorn House moving to crash the party at every turn. Iron Blooded Orphans: one of the only things Mari Okada has written that is somehow not a sex farce on any level.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 19-20 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Content warning: suicide, copious amounts of blood Here it comes, we're on the road to the finale now, no turning back once we make Earthfall! See our hosts all grapple with the family drama and internal tensions threatening to tear Tekkadan apart, as well as the very literal tensions and sensations tugging them towards a much more brutal gravity. Also: fish, and matters thereof. Determine who has the best taste in undersea critters, today on Boku no Stop!

This week, have another bonus episode of our patreon series Radio Manga (in which Matt and Sibyl alternate deep-dives on single works with shotgun spreads of what each has been reading), but this time with a guest! Grant (https://cohost.org/My-Name-is-Grant) (of various podcasts across the years) joins the crew to take a look at Masamune Shirow's The Ghost in the Shell manga, a brief look at his career's English reflection, and a slightly horrified trip down the rabbit-hole of his modern output. Grant showed up because he's part of a new project (https://www.lydiadisappears.com/) their team is trying to launch, and a fresh Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foxbot/the-disappearances-of-lydia-fountayne) launching alongside this special episode. Give it a listen and a look if you want to hear a shady uncle go after what they deserve in a cyberpunk landscape... or other actors. There are other actors too.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! there was a holiday and only two hosts could be arsed to talk about things for you, the listener. Two hosts saw anime films in the theater! One was happier with the decision than the other. If you've ever wanted to hear spirited debate and then suddenly there's discussion of Gundam, video game hoarding, and "oops I don't know how I ended up with 121 games installed on my hard drive", this is the bonus for you.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 17-18 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Content warning: gruesome gun violence This week: labor unions versus cops in space, with kids caught in the middle. How well will it turn out? Well, this episode is one of our shortest ever because the fallout comes next week. No, not Fallout. Wrong series. Worse takes on labor though.

Content Warning: EXTREME gun violence, torture We're host-light as we kick off galaxy-wide events in Iron-Blooded Orphans, and learn just how bad inequality gets when you've got a whole set of worlds to colonize.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 13-14 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Content Warning: child death, gun violence Y'all, I cannot put it any other way: this is the episode with deaths, gays, vibes, and a literal Costco in space. We've gone full Gundam, folks, and the ride won't slow down from here to the finale. Come along with a full crew as everyone discusses That Dog, children grapple with all sorts of emotions, and once again, exhaustingly, Naze reminds us that oh yes. He fucks.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 11-12 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Tragedy strikes this week as the Isaribi meet space pirates! No, not Naze and the space mafia. Different sort of thing entirely. Naze doesn't keep slaves. Probably. Look, we'll get into it soon enough, just trust us that nobody who's helping teach children to read can be all evil, right?

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 9-10 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. This time out, the crew covers all kinds of weebs, from the classy (McMurdo Barriston) to the crass (buying the masturbating Code Geass tee), and in the middle, there's a lot of talks about being family, being Family, and being famiglia.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 7-8 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. This episode was nearly titled "the one with the cheese bones" and I expect all of you are going to prove your humble editor correct. In the meantime, get ready for soup, salad, and sexism as we meet the harem mafia and ask ourselves: is it really family if nobody's getting it wet?

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 3-4 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Content warning: high amounts of gun-to-head violence. This week is a feast of politics and personages, as we expand the cast, begin namedropping folks who have been around for the whole ride, start arguments about when content is relevant or not, and close out for the week with some truly unhinged banter.

This week, the holidays leave our editress with nothing to do and nobody to talk to, so she rambled into a mic about wonderful and terrible media from the year 2023. Don't worry, nothing of worth is spoiled within, and it's got a variety of neat topics to go over. Also I forgot to mention that Furuhata Ninzaburou (a Japanese procedural that's incredibly Columbo-inspired) got a full english fan translation this year, which is also well worth looking into if that series is your jam. It's a good year for Columbo, there were incredibly sick blu-rays from Kino Lorber as well. And Void Stranger/Talos Principle 2. I forgot to shout out the best puzzle games of 2023 and now one of my off-network co-hosts is mad at me. See, this is exactly why I stopped myself at the 30 minute mark, I knew if I thought on it more I'd keep coming up with more and more cool 2023 media. Thanks for the support and we'll see you again with more Gundam in 2024. -Sibyl Support Us: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/pitchdrop) More Shows: Pitch Drop Network (http://pitchdrop.net/)

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 1-2 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Content warning: child murder, child murderers (both varieties) It's new season time! Much like the latest season of Fortnite, we're introducing you listeners to the Griffon family, except this time they have dumber names than "Peter" and "Meg", because this is Gundam, baby! The first full Gundam work we're going in-depth on on the network introduces us to themes of family, child soldiers, exploitation under capital, and the eternal question of any good Gundam series: can you trust people over 30?

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss the entirety of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, in an episode that was previously a patron-exclusive bonus. Ryan from LST joins us this week for a post-series discussion of the past year's hit Gundam, Witch from Mercury, and where it let us down and won us over.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episode 25 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. It all returns to nothing with this, "Zero", and the close of the show's first season.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 23-24 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Here we go, folks, the last good part of Code Geass S1.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 21-22 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content warnings: mind control-as-rape, massive on-camera gun violence, genocide, attempted genocide Here we are folks, it's the big show! A comedy episode into a crisis episode and the finale begins kicking off as we come in for the landing on Code Geass S1. Get ready for thrills, spills, and kills while all of the hosts can't keep it in their pants amidst every type of fanservice imaginable, from summer skin to cool robots to every theme the show has dabbled in coming back at once.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 19-20 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content warnings: suicidal ideation, generalized violence, gratuitous teen nudity (beach episode) That's right, all, we're gonna follow up the giant cliffhanger with a CO-ED BEACH SLUMBER PARTY! Thrill as everyone passes the Bechdel Test for a week! Scream when you see everyone who vanished for half the show re-emerge alive and kicking! And groan when you realize "he tore WHAT part of her outfit to make handcuffs?" Also something something the Chinese Federation invades, but whatever, that whole arc ends in 20 minutes.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 17-18 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content warnings: pulping a dude with a mech, suicidal ideation This week, our hosts investigate court politics, reverse racism, and show that just like Oppenheimer, death can come from the most innocent individuals when uranium is on the line. Plus: the funniest cliffhanger of the entire season! Support Us: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/pitchdrop) More Shows: Pitch Drop Network (http://pitchdrop.net/)

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 15-16 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content Warnings: every single type of gun violence imaginable, patricide, near-amputation, consent questions, the killing fields of dead children This week, half the hosts are out, and yet somehow we have nearly a double-length episode for this season. Listen as Matt and Sibyl absolutely lose the thread and begin digressing into other shows, questions of humanity, World Yuri Day, and also this seems to be the end of the Mao arc, leaving everyone with more questions than they came in with.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 13-14 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content Warnings: suicidal tendencies, in-your-face war crimes, one-on-one gun violence, and blatant mind control/manipulation as rape allegory This week, everyone's back, and so we dig in on the themes of the show so fa- hahahahaha, no, we take the introduction of the season one midboss Mao as a chance to get incredibly stupid with riffs. Plus, find out who missed two of the worst possible minutes in these episodes because of a bathroom break, and listen to everyone start going at everyone else at least once on the theme of "anime gone wrong".

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 11-12 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content Warnings: implied torture, weirdly-edited voyeuristic masturbation, death by suffocation Folks, I think this is the new record for shortest episode of Boku no Stop. Look what happens when half of our coverage this week is a battle scene, and we're down a host. Don't worry though, because it's still one of the most "what the hell" episodes imaginable thanks to a particular thirty-second sequence in the middle! Also, just because I need anything else to pad this out, if you enjoy the title jokes this season, we're friends now.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 09-10 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content Warnings: drugs/drug use, gun violence, being buried alive, and a dude getting cooked alive on-screen Folks, I, your humble hostess, have finished season one of this show at this point, and without a doubt the single dumbest episode of the whole first season is episode 9, a Nancy Reagan-ass anti-drug plot that still works in some of the sickest mech combat yet. Join us for a dive into absurdity, and then pick back up with a real wild time that kicks off the middle arc of the show! Also, I leave it up to you if that title means "hot dog-guy" or "hot dog guy". Either works this week.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 7-8 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content Warnings: ethnic cleansing (again), suicide + imagery, gun violence This week we're off to the races (but not Those Races) with party vans, gilded robots, obvious traps, and a truly worrying amount of pizza parties. Plus, Lelouch gets a new catchphrase, and Nunnally gets no respect! Again! Support Us: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/pitchdrop) More Shows: Pitch Drop Network (http://pitchdrop.net/)

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 5-6 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content warnings: gun violence, casual "comedic" homophobia/fatphobia, and just full-throated racism This week, the show goes all-in on character development for one episode, and comedic madness for the second, and the whiplash lures quite a lot of discussion from our hosts. Unfortunately, things might get a little too loose and freewheeling by the end, leading to some of the most chaos we've had all season.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 3-4 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content Warnings: gun violence/murder This week's episode really takes us off to the races (and the racism) as Code Geass decides to introduce us to people who are very, very dedicated to bloodlines, shows us how incredibly stupid one character can be, and yet still has mysteries and tricks up its sleeve with a cliffhanger ending!

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 1-2 of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Content Warnings: all-around violence, suicide, racism, ethnic cleansing (those last two are basically just the entire season) We're back! Chris is back! New series! Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is a wild ride, and our two first-timers are shocked out the gate to learn "Wait, this is going this hard from episode one?" because, dear listeners, neither of us knew this was about fantasy racism and colonialism. We just knew there were mechs. Get ready to have a frank discussion about how uncomfortable it is to hear people referred to by in-universe slurs so casually from week to week, and be ready for the hammiest acting this side of a Resident Evil game, because CG seems to have tied a brick to the accelerator and leapt out of the vehicle.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss the Lupin III OVA, Fujiko's Lie. Content warnings: child endangerment/kidnapping, a rather brutal car crash scene, many questionable uses of coercive/coerced sexuality, naked kid (PG), brutal gun violence, gaslighting We wind down our (this?) Lupin III season with thus-far the final OVA in this cycle, Fujiko's Lie, and discuss how this is definitely a real mixed bag for most of our hosts (three guesses on who was still gung-ho), the production that followed, and where the Lupin series is at, before announcing our next season debuting in April: Code Geass S1!

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss the Lupin III OVA, Goemon's Blood Spray. Content warnings: ultraviolence, one particularly brutal car crash, decapitation, gnarly lovingly-rendered injuries, weed We continue our tour of the trio with a Goemon-centric OVA all about lumberjacks who heal abnormally fast, weeb culture a-go-go, copious weed usage, and no, I'm NOT just writing down a plot summary of Logan here!

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss the Lupin the III OVA, Jigen's Gravestone. Content warnings: on-camera gun violence aplenty (and some gnarly wounds from the aforementioned), sexual menace, uncomfortably detailed eye-touching, and mechanical drill-appendages Surprise! There's more this season, as we cover the trio of OVAs that followed Fujiko Mine. Matt was unable to attend this week's recording but we do have a quote from him here: "What the fuck?!" It seems he, too, was a little put off by the Big Daddy glass coffin scene. The thrills are higher and the lows are lower starting this week, but do come along for a jaunt on the wild side!

We decided that we should save this episode for the most holiday spirit imaginable and ask you: what if a gang of anime thieves teamed up to kick Tiny Tim's teeth in at the end for having such miserable vibes?

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 9-10 of The Woman Called Fujiko Mine. Content warnings: weird rituals with a kid, literal objectification, suicidal ideation, suicide, animal testing, HUMAN testing, and questionable mouth stuff with a snake This week: technically every character is in an episode now! And just in time for the show to get fucking weird for the rest of its run. Did you think it was psychedelic before? Wait until we start having full-on drug trip episodes. Show Notes If, like Matt, you don't know Peter Gabriel's excellent Shock the Monkey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnVf1ZoCJSo), please remedy this. Video's great, too. There is a casual namedrop of Unit 731 in the middle of episode 10, and if you're unaware of this, a) be aware it's very upsetting WWII war crimes, and b) an excellent "in brief" on the topic composes the first segment of this Ghost Stories for the End of the World episode (https://ghoststoriesfortheend.podbean.com/e/46-mknaomi-and-70-years-of-bioterror/).

Content warnings: Scorpions, sexual assault/deception This week, our hosts cover some good old-fashioned grave robbing, complete with booby traps, betrayals, and of course: ironic losses. Then we take a quick trip back to yuri-town for an episode at an all-girls' school, and somehow Lupin is the most noble man on campus by the end of the whole caper.

Content warnings: Sexual assault/harassment, child endangerment, royals This week, we just take a huge dive off a short pier into the deep end because we're doing some Advanced-Level Anime, with discussions of just what the line is between "femme fatale" and "abused damsel", how hard a samurai needs to be, and some Cliffs Notes on classical opera.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss the themes of, and works similar to, Flip Flappers. This is a weird one but we also felt that going on a brief season break again SO fast after the last one was silly, so we dug in, did some research, and came up with this... discussion that ended up being longer than some actual episodes of the show. Whoops. Support Us: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/pitchdrop) More Shows: Pitch Drop Network (http://pitchdrop.net/)

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 10-13 of Flip Flappers. What can we say here at the end? A lot of things, as evidenced by this extra-length episode, and even then we determine halfway in that we should do one bonus recording on thematic analysis next time. Listen to our two hosts try to determine exactly where the scene is that their enjoyment of the series turns into "what happened?", and hear the myriad discussions of The Line with regards to character design.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 4-6 of Flip Flappers. Content warning: dementia + rough family stuff with a side of questionable fanservice. This week, the show is firing on all cylinders with some heart-wrenching content, questions about the metaphysics of the Flip Flap world, discussions of art itself, a dive into the yuri genre's tropes and history, and also: casual violence! Cocona, Papika, and Yayaka have gotten themselves in trouble again... Show Notes Apparently Discovery Zone (https://discoveryzone.com) returned from the dead at some point, by which I mean someone bought the name and made a few of them out in Ohio. It's still cool to see it live on, though, and the website will give you a good idea of what this whole concept looks like. I (Sibyl) will never back down from my love of the Neptunia series, and yes, they did just release a JRPG based around the concept of a Sega expy teaming up with Japanese Vtubers in combat (https://ideafintl.com/nep-virtual-stars/). It's fun. Matt gives a good summary of it, but if you want a more detailed take on episode 5 and "Class S" yuri, Anime Feminist has you covered (https://www.animefeminist.com/escape-yuri-hell-flip-flappers-critique-class-s-genre/). If you're listening to an anime podcast, there's a 99.9% chance you've SEEN Pop Team Epic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_Team_Epic) in passing via memes, if you're unfamiliar. It's either extremely your style or going to push you away with force. I refer to AC-bu as "animators who are talented enough to deliberately make the mistakes they choose" and if you want an excellent summary of their work in passing, this music video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJE1HoHabMw) will explain everything.

In this episode of Boku No Stop! we discuss episodes 1-3 of Flip Flappers. New hosts! New genre! New format retooling! Boku no STOP! is back and wilder than ever as we dive into the non-standard yuri events of Flip Flappers, a show which is lovingly crafted to the point of being referred to as "animation porn" by those who enjoy it, and "a desperate ripoff" by those who turn on it! Come along into a land full of comedy, terror, psychedelia, and rabbits. Also the psychology. Freud is here again. Show Notes: (minor content warning) This show shares a lot of elements, visually and thematically, with Sam Kieth's The Maxx (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maxx). It's just The Maxx is a better work, per Sibyl. There is a brief breakdown of the phenomenon known as Hyperart Thomasson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperart_Thomasson) in the middle of this episode and this subject is absolutely fascinating.
