Main protagonist Podcast

Get ready for a blast from the past of nuclear proportions. The Main Protagonists have gathered today to discuss video games that fill us with nostalgia. Not the usual Mario, Sonic, or Spyro titles, mind you. We went looking for nostalgic memories in games that few people talk about today. Whether its grand strategy games based on French comics or RPGs we put 200 hours into without finishing them; we promise an episode full of weird surprises.

The ultimate fusion of two protagonists is here, ready to duke it out in the arena of anime discourse. Pettry and Casper return from their long hiatus with a relaunch of the Main Protagonist podcast. Among many other changes, we will now be centering these podcasts on specific topics rather than a loose assembly of news items and recurring segments. What better way to start this off than with one of the most beloved shounen anime of all time! Throw back a senzu bean, charge your ki, and get ready to fight it out, fight it out. We're talking Dragon Ball Z today!

Quick update: This podcast was recorded last week. Since then Seven Seas has agreed to recognize its union instead of fighting its own employees. This does not change anything in regards to their regrettable decisions discussed in this recording, but at least things are looking up. With that said. Happy Pride Month!

Hundreds of euros, one box full of games. What's inside? NO CLUE! Today we got an unboxing. Casper purchased a bulk of games (we hope) after a drinking binge and no record remains of what he put in it. It could be a bounty of treasure or a complete waste of money.

With much enthusiasm we bring you this 15th episode chronicling our adventures in anime, manga, and video games. This time around we're tackling a variety of topics, ranging from cherished video games from our childhoods to hentai about having allergies. Some shocking events have unfolded in the past few days that we're thrilled to share as well. Pettry managed to simultaneously find a new all-time favorite anime, while also stumbling unto a series that filled him with seething hatred. Casper also has a big surprise prepared for today; one lurking just barely off-screen until it's ready to be deployed. Happy pride month y'all.

It's time for an origin story! Pettry and Casper talk about how they first met and became an unbeatable protagonist duo. Along the way they discuss bullies, terrible mentor figures, and the suffering one must endure while trying to secure a degree in IT Management.

Life has gotten a whole lot sunnier for the main protagonists! Pettry's newest medications has unlocked some latent superpowers in him, granting the ability to focus on things for more than 5 seconds. The entire set has been redecorated and he suddenly has a lifetime worth of stories to tell; even though only 2 weeks have passed since our last recording. Meanwhile Casper has nothing but praise for the anime he has recently watched and side-character Tohmo has been temporarily upgraded to fellow protagonist, on account of the current heat waves. In this episode we got some novel news to share and we'll also be answering a viewer question about color theming in anime. We'll also be roasting a terrible book about anime history and Casper has to muster a desperate defense of his beloved childhood games. Enjoy!

Well, we're 2 weeks overdue, but by some miracle we're both at least still alive. Like a true Super Saiyan, Pettry has returned from the brink of death and came out stronger than ever before. And with great timing as well, because we got some more Dragon Ball Z content lined up for this episode. Casper, meanwhile, has returned from a series of quests where he faced financial disasters and harsh criticism of his taste in anime. But nothing will deter him, so here he is again to share controversial takes and pay for Pettry's lunch afterward!

The side-characters take a tour through gaming history, starting with the noble NES. Join us as we share our experiences, anecdotes, and frustrations with each console generation.

Pettry will never recover from the mental anguish I have inflicted on him.

Nostalgia is a powerful force, whether you're rediscovering an old favorite or rewatching Dragon Ball Z for the umpteenth time. Today's episode has the main protagonist in a particularly nostalgic mood as they discuss retro anime, the era of point & click games, and their childhood experiences with torture hentai.

Acting as a prequel to the Main Protagonist Podcast, this bonus episode tells the origin story of our protagonists. What manner of traumatic childhood experiences inspired them to obsess over anime? It's a tragic tale indeed.

Our trip to Germany and Casper's broken laptop has put us out of commission for a while, but we are finally back and ready to argue once again. There's a lot of anime news to discuss this week and we have both been watching some interesting anime. Most prominently, Casper has finally lost his Dragon Ball virginity and is about halfway through Dragon Ball Kai! As a finisher for this long-delayed episode, we saved up a flurry of controversial takes. We hope you enjoy!

The side-character podcast is real! We take a break from the usual discussions around anime, manga, and games to talk about some of our other passions in life. In this first venture into our hobbies, Pettry discusses his martial arts career and talks at great length about the UFC.

Happy Halloween! For this special occasion we are joined on this podcast by a care package full of bizarre snacks, only a few of which have the potential to kill you. Casper is finally catching up with some of the most acclaimed shounen anime of recent times, while Pettry shares stories about exploring Europe. Be sure to stick around til the end for a hentai bonus!

Unstoppable and unhinged, the main protagonists once again got together to talk shit about all your favorite anime. In this extra-degenerate episode we discuss the moral sin that is fanservice and share some of our recent (and future) misadventures; suspiciously many of which seem to involve red light districts. We hope you enjoy this latest episode of the Main Protagonist Podcast. Please don't accuse us of being perverts.

Once again the protagonists Pettry and Casper stand united, as they dig into controversial anime opinions and share their love for bizarre hentai. In this episode we discuss the biggest game release of the decade, personally threaten Hayao Miyazaki, and conspire to invade Germany. Wait... are we the villains?

Our first bonus episode is here! We realized that going through Casper's entire favorites list would be a major operation, so we decided to separate that from the main episode. Join us for a beer (or something stronger if you need it) as we submit this degenerate to an inquisition.

Pettry and Casper become the most unlikely defenders of political correctness in internet history, as nefarious forces conspire to weaponize childhood nostalgia to excuse anti-vaxx propaganda. Outside this fierce battle, these brave social justice warriors pass time by bitching about inept web-design tools, reminiscing about conventions, and hating literally every game they play ever. Literally.

Apologies for the delay in releasing this episode. Depression and summer heat has given us some trouble of late, so we hope that this densely-packed episode can make up for the wait. Pettry and Casper return to the recording station with incredible stories of everything from the rarest of manga to nostalgic video games. This turned out to be another episode filled with laughs, but which concludes on a fierce debate and tough challenges. We hope you enjoy!

We live in dark times where piracy becomes necessity, studios receive death threats, and shitty romcom manga get full-fledged anime productions while projects with actual artistic merit beg for pennies on Kickstarter. From this abyss of despair arise our two protagonists, ready to take on another week of industry madness. Today's episode features plenty of bizarre news, as well as an in-depth discussion on anime music and a tearful account of Casper's experience with losing his Sonic the Hedgehog virginity.

We were plagued by technical troubles, divine punishment, and sheer idiocy, but the third episode of the Main Protagonist Podcast is finally done. The main topic of today is physical anime goods, as we talk about our experiences with buying anime in an age of digital streaming and debate about news regarding absurdly expensive merchandise. Who needs piracy or Crunchyroll when you can spend 700 euros on an anime boxset before import fees and taxes?!

It's a shounen battle scene in podcast format! Two fierce rivals clash in violent debate, throwing punches (arguments) and firing off their most powerful attacks (swearing) with reckless abandon. Both combatants are left bloodied, but they were prepared to put their lives on the line for this. For the honor of GIRLS UND PANZER! PANZER VOR!

In spite of sickness, technical issues, and horrible planning, the official first episode of the Main Protagonist Podcast is finally here. Pettry and Casper bicker for control of the "main protagonist" title while debating about anime they have recently seen, and running through last week's news highlights. This first episode features fierce arguments over Girls und Panzer, anxiety over remakes of childhood favorites, and desperate pleas for sponsorship. We hope you enjoy!

On this episode we run through the week's anime news highlights and share strange stories from anime conventions and teenage obsessions. Pettry claims a major victory and flexes his knowhow of video game emulation, while Casper rants passionately about Higurashi. This is still a demo episode as we continue to refine our setup, but you'll find it bursting with content!

The first attempt
