The kawaii was made flesh and dwelt among us.

On this episode of Bakacast, we finally wrap up of the remains of the summer season. Which means I finally get to release the full force of my wrath against Gatchaman Insight. If you’ve been waiting for one of my old-fashioned impassioned rants, this is the episode for you. Also, we finally have some listener questions to answer! From Mark! Which means they take up over half the episode! It’s so nostalgic.

Also, here’s FathomlessBlue’s writeup on Gatchaman Crowds Insight, which you should probably read.

Bakacast #264 – Is That Horse Street Legal?

As if the Durarara police ever accomplish anything.

Well, this week was…suboptimal. Durarara and Flag continue to be solid, but Arslan, Ushio, Gatchaman and God Eater all ended up being disappointing in some form or another. To be fair to Arslan, though, at least it ain’t Gatchaman.

Also, if you haven’t done so already, vote in our poll to decide our next retro review.

Bakacast #262 – But is the Sheep Okay?

Cute sheep are more important than mecha.

On this episode of Bakacast, Dragon Ball bores us, Durarara narrowly avoids sending me on a grief-induced rampage, Shimoneta continues beating a long-dead horse, and God Eater goes full grim-dark.

Also, I set up a poll where you can vote on which retro review we’ll do next. So go do that. You know, if you want to.

Bakacast #261 – It’s Time to D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Drift

What if we made “Fast and the Furious” into an anime card game?

Hello, everyone! I’m sick! Not, like, in a perverted sense (though that’s probably accurate), but a “where is all this mucus coming from” sense. If the next episode of the podcast doesn’t get uploaded shortly after this one, I’ve probably drowned in a sea of my own sinus drainage. If that comes to pass, please tell Larry I loved him.

Bakacast #260 – Stop Horsing Around

You can all thank/send hate mail to Larry for this pun. Truly, he has reached peak dad-joke.

Hello, listeners. Have you ever wondered which mythical creature Luke and I would most want to have sex/enter a committed relationship with? Well today’s your lucky day, because we review Monster Musume. And…we’re actually fairly positive about it. After that, it’s time for a two-hour marathon as we get through the ridiculous amount of shows that aired while I was on vacation. I am truly sorry.

Bakacast #259 – The Shirt Sleeve Paradox

Seriously, though. How DO they get dressed?

By the time you’re reading this, I will already be on my vacation, far away from anime. How is this possible? Through the power of delayed publishing. God bless you, software developers. In any case, Dragon Ball Super reminds us that some characters should just be forgotten about (and that the English dub is way better), Ranpo Kitan completely fails at the “mystery” part of a murder mystery, Shimoneta ends with an exciting twist, Gatchaman Crowds ends with an infuriating twist, and God Eater moves so slowly that it forces Aaron and me to come up with ludicrous theories to keep ourselves entertained.

Bakacast #258 – Autopsy Fun Time

Kids love it.

On this episode of Bakacast, we may have watched too many shows. In fact, we’re gonna start having to make some cuts here. This current state of affairs is just ridiculous. From now on, I’m going to judge shows based on whether or not I’d rather watch Vegeta be a grumpy dad. If I’d rather watch Vegeta, I should just drop that dang thing.

It just ain’t Dragon Ball without characters consuming vast quantities of food.

It’s a new season, ya’ll! Full of fresh possibilities! Full of excitement! Full of…mediocrity. Yeah, this season is fine, I guess. It’s totally acceptable. It’s a solid B-. I guess I can’t complain too much, though, since we’re getting both a new Dragon Ball and more Gatchaman. On the other hand, we’re also getting Chaos Dragon, so maybe I deserve to complain too much.

Bakacast #256 – We Need More Magic Suplexes

I would like more of this in the Fate-verse and less of…anything to do with Shirou, really.

On this episode of Bakacast–which is incredibly delayed due to me being hella stressed out for the past couple weeks–we finish off the spring season. Well, except for Blood Blockade, which will be done when it’s done, I guess. At least all these shows had strong finishes.
