This Anime

This Anime is back with a new season, new music, new anime!This month we finish out our cataloging of the My Hero Academia series by talking about the 2nd and 3rd feature films of the franchise subtitled Heroes Rising and World Heroes Mission. We also bring back our series The Watch to chronicle some of this Fall Anime Season's underlooked at series. In Heroes Rising, Class 1A has been given the oppertunity to run their own interum hero agency on the remote Nabu Island. But when actual villains land on the island with intent on stealing the quirk of one of the young residents it's up to Deku, Bakugo, and the rest of their class to rise to the occasion and protect the islanders from harm because their the only hope they've got.In World Heroes Mission, a organization known as Humerise has threatened Quirk Society with quirk eliminating bombs that are scattered across the globe. Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki journey to the country of Otheon where its supposed leader, Flect Turn, is hiding. But when Deku is framed for murder and forced to be on the run with a petty thief named Rody, our heroes must go off grid to stop Flect and his group from committing mass genocide of quirk users across the globe.Both movies are available to rent/purchase wherever you get your movies.Time Codes:00:00 Intro03:26 My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising Discussion20:41 My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission Discussion42:13 The Watch Intro43:19 The Watch: My Hero Academia Season 648:55 The Watch: Shinobi no Ittoki1:04:04 The Watch: Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury1:16:42 Outro/What's Next Month's Anime?You can contact the show via multiple ways:Follow our host on Twitter and Instagram @KenReelsThis Anime Podcast is also on Twitter @ThisAnimePodSend us an email to thisanimepodcast@gmail.comorComment on the post at thisanimepodcast.comWe are available on Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcast, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts and would appreciate your support by rating and reviewing us on those platforms to help us grow.

This week we're covering the first half of Season 4. Now with their provisional licenses in hand, Deku and the members of Class 1-A are able to do internships with hero agencies. But as Deku learns getting one of these internships is much harder than it seems. Even with the help of Miro of the UA "Big Three" getting his foot in the door, he has to convince All Might's former sidekick, Nighteye, that not only is he fit to intern with his agency but is worthy of the power of One for All. Not to mention Nighteye's agency is investigating the dealings of Yakuza leader, Kai Chisaki or as he likes to be called "Overhaul". But when Deku and Miro encounter Chisaki in the flesh they also meet an innocent and frightened young girl named Eri under Chisaki's supervision. What is he doing to poor Eri? And does it have a connection to the new quirk related drugs hitting the illegal markets around Japan? Listen in as we cover episodes 74-76 of My Hero Academia. Plus Ultra!

So the pressure is gone to push the next generation of heroes even harder as Class 1-A takes their Provisional License Exam earlier than most. The catch is that with UA being the top and most famous of all the hero schools in the country, everyone is gunning to cull them from the already ultra competitive heard. So the wanna be heroes have to not only pass against the odds but some of their competition might have direct sights at some of them with the intention of settling old forgotten scores. With a 50% passing average will everyone make the cut or could their heroic dreams hit a major speed bump? Listen in as we cover episodes 51-63. Plus Ultra!

When a villain attack threatens not only the Shield Family but everyone else on the island its up to the students of Class 1-A to team up and stop them. While Season 3 picks up as our class of wanna be heroes begin their summer vacation school camping trip, but its much more than it seems as they are asked to use this time to advance their quirks even further beyond. But this training is interrupted when the new members of the League of Villains attack the camp with one goal in mind, to kidnap Bakugo and bring them to their side. Now Deku and a few others band together to try and help the pros rescue their classmate but the true puppet master has decided to reveal himself, All for One is here and he's duking it out with the Symbol of Peace in what could be his final battle. Let's watch as these epic fights play out in episodes 39 all the way to the big episode 5-0. Plus Ultra!   Intro/Outro by Dj-jo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4fd-o7H2ZY

This has been a month to test our patience and our sanity.   Because This Anime is taking a look at two awful shows. The first is the death game cell phone novel adaption, Kings Game, and paired it with the female wrestling extravaganza, Wanna Be the Strongest in the World.

Kings Game is currently available to stream dubbed on Funimation and subbed on Crunchyroll. Wanna Be the Strongest in the World is available to stream both subbed and dubbed over on Funimation.

It's a wacky world this show lives in but we're seeing it to its end...for now. Phi Brain Puzzle of the Gods Season 2 is currently not available legally through streaming and is currently as of this episode slowly going out of print from Sentai Filmworks on both DVD and Bluray.  You can contact the show via multiple ways: Follow our host on Twitter and Instagram @KenReels This Anime Podcast is also on Twitter @ThisAnimePod Send us an email to thisanimepodcast@gmail.com or Comment on the post at thisanimepodcast.com We are available on Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcast, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts and would appreciate your support by rating and reviewing us on those platforms to help us grow.

It's time to put on some Celtic music and move to the highlands.   This Anime is taking a look at two Celtic/European inspired pieces of anime goodness.
