On this extremely late episode of Bakacast, we finish up the Winter 2018 anime and preview the Spring 2018 anime. Because previews are most useful when you’re already a month into the season. I’m very good at my job.

On this episode of Bakacast, we all agree that attempting to use your girlfriend’s new best friend for a blood ritual probably won’t win you many brownie points. Also, Card Capture starts to have some plot progression?!

On this episode of Bakacast, I learn an important lesson about not assuming someone is an artificial lifeform just because they have totally sweet metal arms and speak in a Data-like fashion.

On this episode of Bakacast, we all slowly realize that our favorite show of the season is a cute-girls-doing-cute-things show. Aaron and I, especially, attempt to puzzle out how that happened, and whether we’ve secretly been replaced by pop people (aka Random Curiosity commentators).

It’s time for the first Bakacast of the Winter 2018 season! We start out our reviews with the new series of Card Captor Sakura, and I’ve brought in my fellow Audio Entropy podcaster, Emily, to help us out. We then give our first impressions on a bunch of the shows that aired during the first two weeks, which end up mostly being a mix of pleasant surprises and shocking disappointments.

On this special episode of Bakacast, Larry and Ben review the shows they watched that we didn’t get to on the regular show (mostly because I’m lazy and can’t be bothered to watch more than is absolutely necessary).

On this episode of Bakacast, we start the show with our Anime of the Year 2017 categories before getting to the very last reviews of the winter season. All of us had some tough cuts to make for our personal top 5 lists (except for Aaron, apparently) and some of the special categories ended up being surprisingly tough.

If you want more information in kintsugi–which I mention during the Land of the Lustrous review–you can find a good summary on this Cornell University page. And the second panel of this Achewood strip contains the line I butchered horribly. Please forgive me.

On this episode of Bakacast, we finish out MMO Junkie and Juni Taisen, two shows that had stronger beginnings than they did endings. Also we do our best not to fall asleep while reviewing, as we recorded late on Christmas Eve and we were all a little sleepy.
