Bakacast #243 – To Bear or Not to Bear

Please be impressed by my clever title. I thought about it for quite a while.

Only Larry, Ben, Aaron and I are here to send the winter season on its way. Luke was busy watching all of Isuca out of some misguided sense of journalistic integrity; and Megan passed out as soon as she got back from work. Honestly, my body forcing me to take a nap sounds more enjoyable than watching another episode of JoJo that tries to convince me that Boingo is a funny and entertaining antagonist. He’s not. And Hol Horse can only do so much to salvage this arc. I love you, Araki. But sometimes I really hate you.

Bakacast #242 – I Like You Better When You’re a Murderer

Especially when you’re murdering people with a sword.

On this episode, our load finally lightens a bit as Yona and Parasyte have their season and series finales, respectively. If there’s any justice in the world, Yona will get another season. Also, Luke reviews Gundam Build Fighters Try, which he didn’t watch many episodes of simply because he didn’t feel it deserved to be mocked very much. So…I guess all you people who kept talking about Build Fighters weren’t just crazy. Let no one say I’m not willing to admit when I’m wrong.

Unless you’re dissing Tari Tari. That show was pretty good, and I don’t care what anyone else says.

Also, I’m certain we reviewed Yuri Kuma 11, but even after listening to the podcast to edit it I have no idea where our review of it actually is. So yeah. It’s somewhere in there, probably.

Bakacast #239 – The Shields Are Failing

We really push the definition of “not explicit” on this podcast.

On this episode of Bakacast, Aaron is forced to participate a little more, because I’m once again recording inside his house. Suffer with me, Aaron. Suffer with me. Also, Luke shows up for just long enough to let us know that he forgot to do his job. Don’t worry, though. The wait is worth it. Trust me on this.

Bakacast #237 – Spelunking for D

Be careful. It can get hairy down there.

It turns out Luke’s willpower was not quite as bottomless as I imagined, since his review of “Testament of Sister New Devil” clearly shows signs that his soul is being heavily damaged. I’m hoping my next assignment will bolster his spirits (or at least won’t make him feel like he should be monitored by the FBI). I’ve also decided that this will be the last week we’ll be reviewing every show weekly, so after reviewing some of these shows I ask the other co-hosts if they feel it should go on the ever-three-weeks schedule. For convenience, I’ll mark the ones we singled out in the timestamp list. Finally, we take a break from retro-reviews to finally watch “Time of Eve,” a movie we really shouldn’t have put off for as long as we did. Spoilers: it’s totally fantastic, and you should honestly watch it before listening to our review if you’re at all interested in it already.

Bakacast #236 – The Whispering Podcaster

Yatterman Night has the best background characters of the season.

On this episode of Bakacast, Luke returns to talk about D-Girls (no, not that kind of “D”), and I review shows more harshly than I probably would have if I were actually feeling well. Turns out that I just can’t put up with Yuri Kuma when I’m sick and exhausted. At least I can keep up with Durarara, though. God knows why.

Also, for those of you wondering why Megan suddenly vanished about halfway through the podcast, don’t worry. She just decided to lie down for a bit while we were discussing shows she wasn’t watching and then promptly fell asleep. It was probably the smarter idea, honestly.

Bakacast #235 – Being Luke is Suffering

I’m just sharing the pain.

Let no one say I don’t listen to your suggestions, audience. You asked for reviews of bad anime, and you’re getting them. Just…not from me. You see, the benefit of having close friends is that you can convince them to subject themselves to terrible things for your amusement. This is how Aaron has always used me, and now I’m using Luke for the same purpose. Every week, I’ll assign Luke an anime to review. Because I am a merciful person, I have allowed him to watch as many or as few episodes of the show as he desires. Even a single episode would be good enough. I did this because I know Luke’s willpower and devotion to doing stupid things for podcasts are both strong. This week, he watched four episodes of Kantai Collection for everyone’s amusement.

You’re welcome.

Bakacast #234 – We Really Like Succubi

In our defense, there’s a lot to like.

We’re once again back to business as usual here on Bakacast. Parasyte is still creepy, Yuri Kuma is still baffling (though mildly less than usual this week), the Magical Boys are still delightfully queer, Durarara is still…Durarara, and Maria is still prompting us to consider our place in society and how to enact lasting change. Also, I attempt to sell Megan on Yatterman Night by explaining how adorable Honorable Oda is.

Bakacast #233 – PAX South 2015 Edition

Are you amazed that I actually got out of my house for once? You probably should be.

This episode of Bakacast was recorded in a San Antonio hotel that my friend Luke and I were staying at for PAX South. You’ll hear Luke chime in occasionally to give his thoughts on Sailor Moon and why witches shouldn’t be virgins. Other than that, it’s a pretty normal week for us. So far, the shows have maintained the same level of quality from the previous two weeks, so it seems doubtful that we’ll be dropping anything else. I will continue to complain about Yuri Bear Storm, though.

Bakacast #232 – Aldnoah’s Less Than Zero

The more things change, the more Aldnoah Zero stays the same.

On this episode of Bakacast, Megan is finally back! Hooray! And she’s here to give me a thorough verbal beating over my Yuri Kuma Arashi opinions…along with basically every listener, too, it seems. Also, we discuss the flood of new shows that occurred a couple weeks ago. Some of them are not going to last very long, certainly, but more are sticking around than I expected.
