Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #068 - Zombie Land Drama and Midseason Cuts

Kat, Leo and Bcom are here to break down week 6 of the Fall 2018 anime season and make midseason cuts! This week Doug & Kirill pisses off Bcom, which is something you should never do. The Girls in Beach Episode sets up Chloe’s arc, which tells you to stop playing mobile games and pursue true satisfaction. However, Bcom just pulled Ishtar in Fate Grand/Order, and knows gacha happiness is more gratifying than actual human empathy. Golden Kamuy gives us another great episode exploring Tanigaki’s past, which was almost too perfect. Kat then gives an incredibly long, but in depth review of how Run With the Wind’s cast convinces King to balance work with running, and live his life. Kat and Bcom reminisce about encouraging former partners to study via cosplay in their discussion of Bunny Girl Senpai. Ash has absolutely no chill on pulling the trigger to save Eiji in the latest episode of Banana Fish, and we discuss the existence of the Antarctic Mafia. Junko is having trouble adjusting to the modern idol landscape that has no modicum of privacy, but Leo thinks she should just take a swig of whiskey and power through. Finally, Karakuri Circus continues to get darker and darker, with a brutal episode full of horrors. Stick around for the final segment, where we discuss the state of the season, and cut any anime that are unworthy of continuing.
