Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #038 - Fall 2017 Wrap-Up and Final Scores

We've finally made it to the end of the Fall 2017 season and the end of our first full year of anime podcasts. It's been an incredibly fun year for anime, and this Fall season was no different. I feel like we've learned a lot this year, but also a lot from this last season of anime.



From Anime-Gataris, we learned that even when things are looking down, your virtual anime friends will help you fight your battles. From Juuni Taisen we learned that ignorance is bliss. From Inuyashki, we learned that Ichirou actually had a son this whole time...who knew? From Recovery of an MMO Junkie, we learned that pink bikini armor is a weapon of mass destruction, no matter who is wearing it. From Kino's Journey, we learned that THESE...SHEEP ARE ON FIIIIIRRRRE. From Girls' Last Tour, we learned...a lot. From the Ancient Magus' Bride we learned that anime can have Disney-level song sequences, that can actually work. From Blood Blockade Battlefront we learned that Leonardo's sister is a better open-field tackler than anyone on the New York Giants' roster. From Land of the Lustrous, we learned that cutting apart monsters just reveals the cute little puppies inside of them. And finally, we learned that sometimes Leo is right about romance anime, even when he's wrong, like in the tragic case of Just Because.
