Vrai, Peter, and Alex take a much delayed look back on the 2024 Winter anime season, where some of our bottom titles managed to pull out some good content before the end and top titles that took an absolute nosedive in the second half.
Toni leads Vrai and Peter on a watchalong through the first eight episodes of the late ‘00s collaboration between NIsioisin and Studio SHAFT that was as infamous as it was influential, Bakemongatari!

Cy, and Chiaki, and Vrai return and dive into the Black Rose Saga, the importance of the secondary cast, and Anthy’s deepening characterization.

Caitlin, Toni, and Peter wrap-up another Fall season with a few hidden gems, a few series that failed to stick the landing, and a bunch of sequels!
Vrai, Cy, and Toni discuss Miyazaki Hayao’s latest (last?) movie, its callbacks to his career and themes, and Robert Pattinson.
Alex, Caitlin, and Toni talk the new Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime, how it stacks up for newcomers, and how it gels as a new take on the almost 20-year-old comic.
