This week Guts and Casca are forced to spend time together in a tree hole where we learn how she came to join Griffith's army. Sometimes it takes falling off a cliff together in order to really bond with a person.
A stray arrow? A poison-tipped stray arrow? You know, to maybe kill Griffith? This week we unpack the assassination attempt on our fearless leader, who, let's be honest — is quickly becoming an annoying thorn in everyone's side. But after the slowest fall into shallow water anyone has ever done, we'll talk about Batman Guts and his sneaky mission that goes terribly awry.
The "will they, won't they?" tension between Guts and Griffith continues to mount as the Band of the Hawk faces growing conflict within the kingdom. Griffith has been attracting the wrong kind of attention and evil plans are starting to crystalize. Stray poison arrows and all that.
This week it's all eyes on Griffith as our favorite silver-haired boy is getting promotions left and right. With an even larger target painted on his back, we're starting to understand the nefarious plans of some of the nobles, all while the interpersonal relationships among the members of the Band of the Hawk become increasingly complex.
Before embarking on Berserk, Jeff was told this anime was going to take him places that perhaps he did not want to go. But by his account, it's been pretty smooth sailing so far. This week, we'll unpack the blossoming character dynamics as Guts, Griffith, and Bakalar's favorite, Corkus, all start to make their opinions known, gay water fights and all.
The Berserk Gaiden begins! Welcome back to JeffJeff's Bizarre Adventure. The gang is diving right into the deep end by embarking on the 1997 anime. In this episode we're introduced to Guts and his big-ass sword. Why is he able to wield such a big sword? What's that about? And who's this Griffith guy? And why's his hair so nice? There's a lot to discuss this week, but we'll hold your hand every step of the way as we enter a brand new anime for the show.
Time loops, arrows, pylons, mistaken lotteries, rock statues, starfish-- it's been an absolute hell of a season here and we're delighted to be able to recap these last 3 anime episodes with you today. It's been an incredible ride through the town of Morioh and all the stars are here to help say goodbye (and ascend to heaven). Enjoy our last Diamond is Unbreakable recap and stick around to the end of the show for a few hints to where JeffJeff's Bizarre Adventure goes next. [podcast covers anime episodes 37: "Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable, Part 1" , 38: "Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable, Part 2" and 39: "Goodbye, Morioh - The Golden Heart"]
The gang is very close to discovering the true identity of Kira, but not before we've had a visit from everyone's favorite renegade Polaroid, Yoshihiro. His arrow is up to no good, and is about to give Kira a new ability. How come he gets three Stand abilities? Déjà vu. [podcast covers anime episodes 35: "Another One Bites the Dust, Part 1" and 36: "Another One Bites the Dust, Part 2"]
Well, we've done it. We've reached an episode of JoJo's that is so wildly confusing and bewildering, a team of forensic podcast detectives needed to be called in. Thankfully it contains the single greatest scene in the anime's history. But then, we're treated to the thrilling conclusion of the July 15th 4-parter in chilling fashion, as Kira's true evil goes on full display. [podcast covers anime episodes 33: "July 15th (Thursday), Part 3" and 34: "July 15th (Thursday), Part 4"]
We're back from a small break and recapping the first 2 episodes of a 4 part arc. It's safe to say the group is divided on these opening two episodes, but at least these are both logically air-tight narratives that we're dealing with here. If you call an electrical tower a pylon, let us know. [podcast covers anime episodes 31: "July 15th (Thursday), Part 1" and 32: "July 15th (Thursday), Part 2"]
Not the cleanest pairing of JoJo episodes on this week's recap, but they can't all be winners, right? After a less than satisfying conclusion to the Highway Star saga, the JeffJeff's gang must deal with ghost pirhana cat plants. That's right, you read that correctly. [podcast covers anime episodes 29: "Highway Star, Part 2" and 30: "Cats Love Yoshikage Kira"]
How many times have you heard about an alien turning himself into a pair of dice in order to win at gambling? No? Never? OK, well then we have a very special pair of episodes for you. [podcast covers anime episodes 27: "I'm an Alien" and 28: "Highway Star, Part 1"]
Kira, you little freak. How far will a photo ghost Dad go to protect his serial killer child? Pretty far, apparently. [podcast covers anime episodes 25: "Atom Heart Father / Heart Father" and 26: "Janken Boy Is Coming!"]
These two episodes are heavy-- in more ways than one. Just how far is Kira willing to go to get a good night's sleep? And can Echoes' next Act prove to been even less useful than Act 2? [podcast covers anime episodes 23: "Sheer Heart Attack, Part 1" and 24: "Sheer Heart Attack, Part 2"]
The town's secret killer is finally revealed to be Kira, who's basically the Patrick Bateman of Morioh. Let's see just how hard it is to steal a sandwich in these two phenomenal episodes. [podcast covers anime episodes 21: "Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly, Part 1" and 22: "Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly, Part 2"]
This week's episode is all about forgiveness. Like in the way we can apparently forgive Yukako for trying to gruesomely murder Koichi. Guess we all forgot about that? Plus, the forehead-slap-inducing conclusion to the Shigechi drama. [podcast covers anime episodes 19: "Yukako Yamagishi Dreams of Cinderella" and 20: "Shigechi's Harvest, Part 1"]
So I guess Rohan is like, in this show now? He and Koichi spend an entire episode hanging out with a ghost in an alleyway that doesn't exist on the map of Morioh. Then it's time to meet Shigechi, a little dude with a stand that summons dozens of beetles that harvest change and coupons. Just a regular week here on the podcast! [podcast covers anime episodes 17: "Rohan Kishibe's Adventure" and 18: "Shigechi's Harvest, Part 1"]
It's time for the best fountain pen fighting action we've ever seen! Plus, an inexplicable hair story! And if you're hungry for more, good. Actually, maybe "hungry" is the wrong word for the gang's encounter with Bug-Eaten. [podcast covers anime episodes 15: "We Picked Up Something Crazy!" and 16: "Let's Go Hunting!"]
After inexplicably recovering the bow and arrow, Josuke and the crew have met their next match, a guy who loves paper! Also, why is it that everyone who faces the gang in Morioh turns small after being defeated? You ever think about that? [podcast covers anime episodes 13: "We Picked Up Something Crazy!" and 14: "Let's Go to the Manga Artist's House, Part 1"]
Red Hot Chili Pepper. Perhaps not the most airtight stories of Morioh stands, but we celebrate his legacy nevertheless. Tune in as the gang analyzes the death of Electric Big Bird and witnesses an incredible waste of a guitar. [podcast covers anime episodes 11: "Red Hot Chili Pepper, Part 1" and 12: "Red Hot Chili Pepper, Part 2"]
This week we're wrapping up Koichi's kidnapping and taking a break at what's likely the most unhinged restuarant in Morioh. [podcast covers anime episodes 09: "Yukako Yamagishi Falls in Love, Part 2" and 10: "Let's Go Eat Some Italian Food"]
Folks, we've officially entered the hair-horror arc of Diamond is Unbreakable, and we are absolutely here for it. [podcast covers anime episodes 07: "Toshikazu Hazamada (Surface)" and 08: "Yukako Yamagishi Falls in Love, Part 1"]
Finally, we're gonna find out what's in Koichi's egg. Ugh, that really sounds gross when you say it loud. [podcast covers anime episodes 05: "The Nijimura Brothers, Part 3" and 06: "Koichi Hirose (Echoes) / Koichi Hirose (Reverb)"]
We're done forging dudes into rocks, it's all about commanding a killer army of toy soldiers now. [podcast covers anime episodes 03: "The Nijimura Brothers, Part 1" and 04: "The Nijimura Brothers, Part 2"]
A brand new Part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is upon us! Join Tamoor Hussain, Lucy James, John "Super Eyepatch Wolf," and Jeff Bakalar as they embark on the small town mythology of Diamond is Unbreakable. [podcast covers anime episodes 01: "Jotaro Kujo! Meets Josuke Higashikata" and 02: "Josuke Higashikata! Meets Angelo"]
And that's a wrap. The Cowboy Bebop gaiden ends on a 2-parter that pulls at our heartstrings. Make sure you watch-along with this special season finale. Up next? More JoJo's. [this episode covers anime eps 25: "The Real Folk Blues (Part 1)" and 26: "The Real Folk Blues (Part 2)"]
It's a triple-mega-show of JeffJeff's Bizarre Adventure as the gang covers THREE (3!) episodes of Cowboy Bebop.
