Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #085 - Thnks Fts Mmrs

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to talk about week 9 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Bcom raves about his early experiences with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Kat went to see Us and encourages people to go see it. Leo saw Captain Marvel, and felt pretty meh about it. Kat is disappointed that Mob Psycho II episode 9 didn’t stick to its guns and walked back the dramatic climax of last week’s episode. Instead it introduced a variety of new elements that had us feeling a little narrative whiplash.  We argue a bit over whether Run With the Wind’s latest episode was too overdramatic, and come to several different verdicts. We meet “two” new sisters in Kemurikusa who start to complete the puzzle about the mysterious past of the show, and Kat begins to lose her mind over the disparity between her opinion on the show and Leo’s. We watched The Promised Neverland and…Ray has fetus memories, which Kat brilliantly refers to as plot spackle. Yeah. Moving on, Kat’s cat takes issue with her making blatantly racist requests of Bcom during our JoJo Part 5 discussion and viciously attacks her on Bcom’s behalf. Kat calls Narancia a hick, and Leo engages in some serious hick gate-keeping and gives us a lesson in true hickness. We finally reach the point of Domestic Girlfriend where Leo began to lose faith in the manga, and when Bcom starts to get a sense that this anime is reaching for heights even stupider than he expected. Kaguya has its first truly connected three-part episode, which impresses us on the one hand, but the content of the main gag leaves us questioning if the same jokes couldn’t have been executed in a smarter way. Finally, Leo gets to reveal an important fact about Dororo that he’s known since last podcast, and wishes we had known this information from the beginning of the show.
