Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #085 - Thnks Fts Mmrs
April 09, 2019 04:40Leo, 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 ...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #084 - Mob Runs With the Wind
April 08, 2019 20:12Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to talk about week 8 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Bcom tells all about the near-riot at his screening of Heaven’s Feel Part II. Kat and Leo met up with Brains and had a drunken good time. Leo breaks down an episode of Mob Runs With the Wind that turned very dark towards the end in a way that Kat is really into, and which Bcom compares to Avenger’s: Infinity War. We move onto the actual Run With the Wind where Prince and Musa learn about their own personal reaso...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #083 - Sock Puppet Seduction
March 20, 2019 21:46Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to talk about week 7 of the Winter 2019 anime season. In this week’s episode of Mob Psycho, Reigen’s psychic abilities are put to the test on a live variety show which clarifies how important Reigen’s partnership with Mob is in defining his future. Our favorite running boys make their final preparations for the Hakone Ekiden, and we make some not-so-bold predictions after learning the section assignments for each leg of the race. Kat feels Kemurikusa has become too...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #082 - DiGiorno Giovanna and Midseason Cuts
March 12, 2019 14:13Leo, Bcom, and Kat return to discuss week 6 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. It’s the halfway point of the season, which means we need to evaluate where we’re at, and make any midseason cuts if necessary. At the halfway point of Mob Psycho, Reigen finally has to try to find his way in the spirit-cleansing world without Mob’s assistance, and gets in over his head. Meanwhile, on Run With the Wind, the guys scope out the Hakone race, and also try to quell Jota and Joji’s doubts about Haiji’s tru...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #081 - Suppositions and Suppositories
March 09, 2019 17:46Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss week 5 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. We kick off the podcast with some brief thoughts about the results of the Crunchyroll anime awards, which we obviously don’t agree with. Afterwards we chat about some of the nonsense we’ve been up to before jumping into Mob Psycho 100 II. Episode 5 was a showcase for some of the most spectacular animation in a TV anime in quite some time. The Run With the Wind boys take one step closer to the Hakone Ekiden, which too...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #080 - The Promised neVRland
February 25, 2019 12:53Bcom, Kat, and Leo plunge into week 4 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. We recorded this episode on Valentine’s Day, and apparently Kat was so love drunk that she totally watched the wrong episode of Mob Psycho 100. To be fair, she was only off by an entire season. Luckily, Bcom and Leo rattle a synopsis off the top of their heads with surprising accuracy. Run With the Wind’s latest episode exhibits some incredibly unsafe hydration practices, which lead to predictable disaster. We continue to ...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #079 - Chika-sama: Love is Chika
February 17, 2019 06:36Leo, Bcom, and Kat are finally starting their weekly reviews again! It’s week 3 of the Winter 2018 Anime season and we have a lot to be excited about. Kat gives us a whole new way to think about Mob’s progress to explosion…we’re very sorry if you can’t get this out of your head. Leo finally found a way to relate to Run With the Wind in its 14th episode. Kemurikusa starts to unravel some of its many mysteries, but still keeps us guessing at where everything is heading. We move on to the menaci...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #078 - Winter 2019 First Impressions - Part 2
February 08, 2019 03:15Kat, Leo and Bcom have returned to close out the second half of their Winter 2019 first impressions and pick the top 8 shows that we’ll be following this season. After Leo and Kat cry about work and the freezing cold weather, Bcom cries about the Kristaps Porzingis trade. Once we get into anime, Bcom has some special Swedish intelligence to help understand the main love interest of Girly Air Force. We felt Quintessential Quintuplets offered a surprisingly inoffensive ecchi harem setup, when c...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #077 - Winter 2019 First Impressions - Part 1
February 07, 2019 00:21Bcom, Kat, Leo are back for a brand new year of anime ripe with possibilities! Winter 2019 is upon us and it’s time to dig straight down until we find some diamonds in the rough. We start out raving about Dororo and Mob Psycho II, which both showcased fantastic art style and animation. The new Kemono Friends aren’t as fun or educational as the old ones, which disappoints Bcom. Leo winces as Kat and Bcom get pumped up by the return of Run With the Wind. Kat holds an intervention with Japan abo...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #076 - 2018 Year in Review
February 05, 2019 05:13Leo, Kat and Bcom return to deliver an epic review of 2018 anime as a whole. We go season by season through all the anime we covered, and some we didn’t, and give you our current thoughts and recommendations. After that, we undertook a rigorous statistical review of our podcast breaking down certain trends that continued throughout the year, and found out who truly is the best picker of locks out of our hosts. The answer may surprise you. Finally, we break down our top 10 anime of the year, b...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #075 - Fall 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores
January 08, 2019 04:29Leo, Bcom, and Kat close out Fall 2018 with reviews of the remaining few episodes, and final scores for all of the anime we watched this season! We start off by chatting about the finales of Bunny Girl and Bloom Into You, neither of which came to a completely satisfying conclusion. Then, because of our eight show weekly format this season, we had a lot of extra time to watch anime outside of the podcast, and we run through many of those, such as SSSS.Gridman, Irozuku, Black Clover, and Hi Sco...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #074 - Shot Through the Head and You're Okay
January 07, 2019 11:16Kat, Leo, and Bcom are ready to finish off most of Fall 2018’s anime with the 12 week of shows! The finale of The Girl in Twilight satisfied some of us and infuriated others, by giving us some of the most visually impressive moments of the show, but depriving us of closure on several major plot points. We have a prolonged discussion about whether Nopperabo has eyelids in the season 2 finale of Golden Kamuy, which finishes with many dramatic reveals and shifting alliances, and importantly, the...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #073 - Yuri the Honor Student
January 06, 2019 21:56Bcom, Kat and Leo are back to talk about Fall 2018’s 11th week of anime! After we chat a little bit about Aquaman’s glistening chest, Florida’s horrifying morning sun, and the cute nostalgia of Hi Score Girl, we jump into this penultimate week of anime. The Girl in Twilight kicked off the week with a wonderful reveal of a deeper relationship between two of its characters, which flourished into one of the most emotional fight scenes of the series. Hide your kids, hide your wife, because Tsurum...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #072 - Rascal Chats with Bathing Waifus
December 26, 2018 21:11Leo, Bcom and Kat are back this week to discuss week 10 of the Fall 2018 anime season. We kick it off with some nonsense, like Bcom watching a famous Japanese movie from 1983 about husky sled dogs surviving the treacherous landscape of Antarctica. Kat had to survive holiday parties, and a dairy awkward moment with her friend, and Leo had to survive his deepest dental appointment yet. We move on to anime, and Kat channels her inner Gordon Ramsay and lambasts Asuka for trying to make a chikuwa ...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #071 - Guy is Pronounced Like Karakuri
December 19, 2018 04:23Kat, Leo and Bcom are back this week to discuss week 9 of the Fall 2018 anime season. We start off with a nonsense section, in which we talked a lot about various video games we’re playing. Even Kat is playing games now! This week, the girls in twilight saw the truth of Seriouska’s world, and we got a not-so-unexpected reveal of the true identity of The King of Twilight. Kat observes that Golden Kamuy is now pandering to its yaoi fanbase, and the dick jokes have returned in the form of mushro...

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #070 - The Kat in Twilight
December 13, 2018 09:49Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to cover week 8 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This episode Kat’s voice has been transformed by the power of medical vape and has entered the world of Twilight. Meanwhile, the actual Girls in Twilight get up to some very graceful upskirts and renaming themselves after Apple personal assistants. Meanwhile, Golden Kamuy goes full “bara” in a sea otter-fueled orgy worthy of the craziest shenanigans this show has seen. Prince acquires a treadmill to read manga while he...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #069 - Bloom Into Evanescence
December 05, 2018 07:34Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to cover week 7 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This episode Kat was a bit under the weather, but she powered through it to deliver your anime fix! We talked about the flaws of computer CD slot design and sneaky marketing tricks in the latest episode of The Girl in Twilight. Golden Kamuy gave us beary bad nightmares and fleshed out another of its side-characters with Ogata’s incredible backstory, which led us into a discussion of the psychology of psychopaths. We wa...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #068 - Zombie Land Drama and Midseason Cuts
November 29, 2018 20:00Kat, 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...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #067 - A Heart to Heart Inside of a Hart
November 21, 2018 02:56Bcom, Leo, and Kat are here to bring you their thoughts on week 5 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This week we added a new section at the beginning of the podcast, because we felt we should embrace the nonsense a little more. Meanwhile, in the world of anime, Doug and Kirill learned that Dan Aykroyd hates it when you waste food. We discover more than we ever wanted to know about twin conventions in our discussion of The Girl in Twilight. We also have to come to terms with the reality of who wo...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #066 - Leo Runs With the Wind Away from Kat
November 15, 2018 00:35Leo, Bcom, Kat return with their rundown of the fourth week of Fall 2018 anime! We learn that Doug is an asshole, and that the show’s animators put all of their effort into lip-licking with episode 4 of Doug and Kirill. That’s followed up by cowgirls in Twilight, with an episode set in America in the time of Ii Naosuke…which we’ll explain. Golden Kamuy introduces a very goofy version of a legendary Japanese weapons designer, who frontal-lobeless Tsurumi pushes to embrace his weapons of mass d...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #065 - Confessions of a Bunny Girl Kouhai
November 10, 2018 05:22Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to cover the third week of Fall 2018 anime! We chat about Apple Bieber’s Harry Botoms in Double Decker. Then we move on to the hellscape that is avoiding terrible last names via marriage, and also crazed bloodthirsty rabbits from Monty Python with The Girl in Twilight. Golden Kamuy tries to go one episode without a million blatant dick jokes, so predictably Leo and Kat don’t love it. We reminisce about our own experiences with cringy confessions in response to Saku...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #064 - Fall 2018 First Impressions - Part 2
November 03, 2018 15:36Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to finish off the second half of our Fall 2018 season impressions and choose the anime we’ll be following this season! We kick it off with anime about girls whose fascination with dolls goes way, way too far, before moving onto some pretty decent sports anime that no one is watching. Then we get into anime about girls whose personalities we don’t quite understand, before moving into two long running shows that we totally didn’t catch up on. Then it’s time to experi...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #063 - Fall 2018 First Impressions - Part 1

That’s right, it’s time for the Fall 2018 anime season to begin! Tune in as we break down the first half of our Fall impressions. This season is filled with all sorts of characters, from girly-faced cops, to drooling wizards, cheery cheerleaders, and bishi archers. Girls find themselves in other worlds by tuning to the right radio station, s...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #062 - Summer 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores
October 23, 2018 11:52Leo, Kat, and Bcom return to wrap up the Summer 2018 anime season and dole out their final thoughts and scores for the shows they followed. For Angolmois, Kat breaks down the anime girl hierarchy for Bcom, explaining that “the hot useless girl comes first.” The final episode of Sirius the Jaeger reveals that the true power of the Ark was to contain the power of John Travolta’s sparkly disco hot pants from destroying humanity as we know it. No…seriously. During the Banana Fish review, Leo’s ro...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #061 - Started at the Bottom and We're Still There
October 17, 2018 15:01Bcom, Leo and Kat are back to talk about the 9th and 10th weeks of the Summer 2018 anime season. We have fun discussing Angolmois even though Amazon Instant Video is making us play a game of Fastest Finger First to avoid skipping the ED. Sirius the Jaeger brought us zombie vampire flame throwing knights, but then threw them away as fast as they appeared. Leo decides that Banana Fish is getting too serious to make jokes about…and then we proceed to do nothing but joke about it. Harukana Receiv...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #060 - Happy Re:Sirius Life
October 09, 2018 03:52Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss weeks 7 and 8 of the Summer 2018 anime season. This episode we picked up two new shows, Angolmois and Happy Sugar Life, as a result of our midseason cuts. We recap the events leading up to the current showdown in Angolmois and discuss Teruhi’s creepy Kuchii kisses. While talking about Sirius the Jaeger, we predict the existence of a show called Re:Sirius within the next year, and then decry the demise of eBay in Banana Fish. Leo wants 3D idols to get out o...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #059 - Frontal Coup Kisses
September 07, 2018 22:01Bcom, Leo, and Kat and here to make some midseason cuts this Summer 2018 season because some shows majorly let us down. Luckily, there are some replacement-worthy anime to look forward to! Our discussion about Free! got us sidetracked into a bet about who would better survive the world’s hottest curry in New York City, Kat or Bcom. Spoiler alert: Bcom would die. Kat was shocked by Ryouko’s take-charge attitude in Sirius the Jaeger. Leo details all of the similarities between Akira Tachibana f...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #058 - Why So Sirius, McKYLE?
August 23, 2018 05:40Bcom, Leo, and Kat return to break down Summer 2018’s 3rd and 4th weeks of anime! Kat explains how Yuliy and Mikhail in Sirius the Jaeger can sense the Ark like those “rods you take on the beach that beep and shit.” Leo determines the relative sexiness of swimsuits in Harukana Receive. We learned that Karen from Revue Starlight can run around Tokyo for hours and still be perfectly fine because of the power of friendship. The Asobi Asobase girls play the same game from an episode of Doreiku, w...

August 10, 2018 08:24Bcom, Leo, and Kat finish up the second half of Summer 2018’s first impressions with weekly shows airing from Friday to Sunday. We attempt to understand metaphorical giraffes in Revue Starlight and Leo gives us a full medical diagnosis of what makes Cells at Work! one of the best ways to learn about the human body. Meanwhile we can’t stop laughing at Asobi Asobase’s brilliant comedic direction. Finally, we take sides on the intergalactic dog vs. cat conflict in Planet With before finishing up...

Stay tuned for part 2 coming later this week, which will contain Friday through Sunday’s shows, and our picks for the 10 anime we’ll be covering this season. Recorded July 31, 2018. Timestamps: 3:18 - Dropkick On My Devil! 9:13 - Phantom...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #055 - Spring 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores
July 18, 2018 23:37Bcom, Leo, and Kat are back to wrap-up the end of the Spring 2018 anime season. We start off by covering the final episode of Megalo Box, which didn’t fully land its punches. Then, we transition into a marathon segment where we absolutely lose our minds describing the final two episodes of Gurren Laga…I mean, Darling in The FranXX. It was worth covering all 24 episodes just for this final segment! Afterwards, we detail a few notable anime we watched on the side, and then plunge into our final...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #054 - Love is Too Hard for the Dick of a Gentleman
July 11, 2018 22:21Bcom, Leo, and Kat return to discuss weeks 11 and 12 of the Spring 2018 anime season. Almost all of the shows we were watching wrapped up this week, besides Megalo Box and Darling in the FranXX, so we’re here to give our initial thoughts on all of the finales. Golden Kamuy decided to finish off its season by giving Asirpa a lecture about gentlemanly dicks and announcing a season 2 slated for October. Galactic Heroes finished in the middle of one of its greatest battles, which left us craving ...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #053 - Summer 2018 Preview
July 03, 2018 22:36Bcom, Leo, and Kat are back to preview the Summer 2018 anime season that has just kicked off. This time, we have the delightful and hilarious Mandi from the Anime Addicts Anonymous Podcast on the show to help us get hype for shark-toothed boys and high score girls! Mercifully, this season Japan has decided to, ya know, maybe not broadcast every single anime at the same time like they did this Spring. That being said, there are still a few sexy sequels returning, and a few promising production...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #052 - Anime is Coming Inside Us
June 26, 2018 04:42Bcom, Leo, and Kat are back to discuss weeks 9 and 10 of the Spring 2018 anime season. This week is pretty laid back. It’s all about giving people massages, finding true love, and letting bayonets come inside your perverted little hearts. A highlight of this week’s podcast were two Special Episodes we covered, for Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Darling in the FranXX, which were both very much worth watching, but for entirely different reasons. Golden Kamuy continues to be obsessed with Gle...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #051 - Golden Krotchmuy
June 12, 2018 06:59Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss weeks 7 and 8 of the Spring 2018 anime season. This week is all about boners of all kinds. Whether it be the various murder boners that Golden Kamuy seems to love, or Reinhard's boner for Kircheis in Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Or maybe it's Bcom's boner for young Gure in Yotsuiro Biyori or Dr. Frank's boner for the Klaxosaur Princess. Or perhaps its Julia’s boner for a 12-year-old boy in Doreiku or Hanako’s boner for shipping her boyfriend in her yaoi ...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #050 - Mahou Shoujo ¿Por qué? and Midseason Cuts
May 28, 2018 19:45Bcom, Kat and Leo are back to discuss weeks 5 and 6 of the Spring 2018 anime season. It’s midseason, and that means it’s time for midseason cuts, so stick around for that discussion right at the end of the podcast, because it’s a very interesting one. Otherwise, these two weeks of anime had some interesting twists and turns, with Mahou Shoujo Ore in particular leaving Bcom and Leo asking Mahou Shoujo “¿Por qué?“ Golden Kamuy got a hard-on for hunting wolves, while Yotsuiro Biyori showed us it...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #049 - Bcom Loses His Dorei-cool
May 16, 2018 21:41Bcom, Kat and Leo return with reviews of weeks 3 and 4 of the Spring 2018 anime season for the 10 shows we chose to follow in our seasonal first impressions episode. This episode clocked in a bit longer than we expected, at just under 3 hours, because we dove deep into these shows looking to give you the best rundowns and insights possible. Honestly though, it’s really because we spent like 25 minutes on Doreiku. I don’t think there’s ever been a show covered by this podcast which the hosts d...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #048 - Spring 2018 First Impressions - Part 2
May 07, 2018 04:11Bcom, Kat and Leo are back with the final half of their Spring 2018 anime season impressions. Things got pretty heated this episode at times, but not between the hosts themselves. There are just some anime that really bring out the ire of our hosts, and press all of our buttons. It seemed like almost all of those anime were in this second half of our impressions. Whether it was Doreiku and Magical Girl Site for Bcom, Hisone to Masotan and Comic Girls for Kat, or Devil’s Line and Bcom constant...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #047 - Spring 2018 First Impressions - Part 1
May 03, 2018 21:02Bcom, Kat and Leo, against all odds, have survived the first few weeks of the Spring 2018 anime apocalypse and come crawling back from their computer screens with LCD sunburn emblazoned across their faces, to report on the best, and worst, shows of the season. This cast is broken up into two parts because Japan decided to put ALL of the anime out at once, to, ya know…see what happens. Thank you Japan! Once again, you have given us so much…honestly too much, and we need you to stop because t...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #046 - Winter 2018 Wrap-up and Final Scores - Part 2
April 28, 2018 09:43Bcom, Kat and Leo are back with the 2nd part of the Winter 2018 season wrap-up. In this episode, we get into an intense debate over the ending of After the Rain. Bcom and Leo take solace in the fact that Kat was super-wrong about something in Laid-Back Camp. Kat and Leo are craving more Ramens, but Bcom’s not so sure. Ito Junji concludes with two absurdist comedy episodes with a special appearance by the Kool-Aid man. The first half of Darling in the FranXX closes with an intriguing cliffhang...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #045 - Winter 2018 Wrap-up - Part 1
April 20, 2018 19:29Bcom, Kat, and Leo are back to wrap up the end of the Winter 2018 anime season! We went really long with this episode, so we’ve split it into two parts. In this first half, we detail how horny Kokkoku’s staff are for Juri and Shouko, even until the bitter end. The Mitsuboshi Colors cracked us up for two more fun-filled final episodes. Mercifully, Skilled Teaser Takagi-san ended…finally, though Kat still has some choice words for its conclusion. Then we get into the final three fantastic epi...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #044 - Spring 2018 Preview Extravaganza
April 07, 2018 00:33Bcom, Kat, and Leo are joined by Brains from the Trash Pandas Watch Anime podcast to break down the upcoming Spring 2018 anime season. We go show by show through almost 60 TV anime, and give you the rundown on whether we think they’ll be worth a watch, or at least worth a drunken hate-watch. In doing so, I think we all learned a lot about everyone who took part in this cast. Leo is clearly a manga snob. Kat just wants pretty boys to be healthy and drink more milk. Brains, who has watched over...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #043 - Dial M for Bcom
March 30, 2018 16:46Bcom, Kat, and Leo return to discuss weeks 9 and 10 of the Winter 2018 anime season. As most of these shows are entering their final arcs, we discuss how we laughed, or cried, or recoiled in disgust at Junji Ito’s greasy, grimey goings-on. While some shows stumbled a bit, like Kokkoku and Skilled Teaser Takagi-san, others really took off like Sora Yori and Violet Evergarden. In fact, episode 9 of Violet Evergarden literally left Kat and Leo speechless… Come hang out with us while we make our ...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #042 - Getting Wet in Your Typhoon
March 20, 2018 10:37This week Bcom, Kat and Leo weather the typhoon of the Winter 2018 anime season's 7th and 8th week of shows. It's raining plot as we wade deep into the Winter season. We decide to open our umbrellas and get wet...in Darling in the FranXX's beach episode. Just kidding, After the Rain and Skilled Teaser Takagi-san both featured typhoons in their episodes. The Sora Yori girls decide to overcome their seasickness in some ice cold storm surges on their boatride to Antarctica. We also take a deep d...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #041 - Record of Trainwreck War
February 28, 2018 02:27Kat, Leo and Bcom return for the 41st episode of the podcast, and discuss weeks 5 and 6 of the Winter 2018 anime season. This week, they face their biggest challenge yet...trying to understand what the hell was happening in Record of Grancrest War. Leo and Bcom have a fiercer argument over the quality of a dance scene than the judges of Dancing With the Stars ever have. Kat assures us that the Linba ship is alive and well in Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, but Leo is still frustrated by the idiotic d...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #040 - A Stray Kat Appears
February 17, 2018 15:03Bcom and Leo are back for the 40th episode of the podcast, presumably to talk about weeks 3 and 4 of the Winter 2018 anime season. But, Leo’s stray cat giving birth to a litter of kittens seems to have resulted in an anime-loving catgirl joining the cast? I’m not going to ask questions about this, and just assume that the Anime Gods are real and have granted all of our wishes. Recorded February 14, 2018. Timestamps: 4:20 - Kokkoku (Eps. 3-4) 18:08 - Mitsuboshi Colors (Eps. 3-4) 26:41 - S...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #039 - Winter 2018 First Impressions
February 01, 2018 04:59We’re back to run down the top shows of the Winter 2018 season. We’ve watched episode 1-3 for most of the shows below and we’re ready to hash out our favorites and come to a (mostly) agreed upon list of the 10 that we will follow throughout the rest of the season. Winter 2018 really is a diverse season for anime. We’ve got some gorgeous shows, like Violet Evergarden and a Place Further than the Universe, as well as some shows that might burn holes into your eyeballs if you look at them too l...
Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #038 - Fall 2017 Wrap-Up and Final Scores
January 10, 2018 20:50We'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.
