    !! LISTENER REQUEST EPISODE !!Big thanks to Knucklehead in our Discord for suggesting this episode format! In this new type of episode, we're going to watch two episodes of a random anime neither of us has seen—without subtitles—and give our predictions about what the series is about. Then, we'll watch the same two episodes again with subtitles and see how far off our predictions were! This was a really cool exercise in using context clues and paying attention to what's being portrayed on screen, rather than relying on the subtitles to tell us what's going on. We really enjoyed recording this type of episode, so we asked if you'd like us to do more episodes like this. But to be honest, we loved it so much that we're doing it again anyway, haha.

    DISCLAIMER Our in-person audio was super wonky this time around despite our thorough checks, we tried to clean it up but ultimately decided it would be better to release the episode as is. Thanks for listening if you can bear it. We've been waiting a very long time to watch and review this anime. Junji Ito is a frequent episode topic on OHC, and when a new iteration of Uzumaki was announced, you know we were stoked to see how they would interpret probably the most well-loved JI work. Unfortunately for us, we were super excited to see what they could do, but they really should have kept this one locked up tight in the vault. Join us this week as we review probably the worst retelling of this iconic work. Honestly, the 2001 live-action movie, in all of its campy early CGI glory, is better than this garbage.

    Happy Halloween everyone! In celebration of the event and our short hiatus, we decided to rerelease episode 18 from the 2020 vault! If you've been sleeping under a rock for the last 30 years, it's time to step out into the world of walking zombie-fish, hypnotizing spirals, and an immortal succubus named Tomie. This is the world created by Ito Junji, the legendary mangaka who got his start in horror more than 30 years ago with Tomie. We will look at Tomie, Gyo, and Uzumaki, his most familiar works, and talk about what makes us scared on this Halloween special. -Amelia will be at Anime NYC Nov 17-19th with Lewd Driip so check her our there! https://lewddriip.com -We'll be back Nov 30th with a Mamoru Hasoda Retrospective!
