For this episode of Bakacast, Luke and I watched My Girlfriend Is A Gal, and now we both want to destroy all anime forever. Thankfully, before we can put our plans into action, my cohosts remind me that anime can occasionally be good by reviewing  Princess Principal and My Hero Academy.

We’re finally done with this marathon of a season, and we’ll soon be testing out our new review system so we won’t get nearly as worn out as we did this time. In the meantime, we rave about the endings of One Punch Man, Owarimonogatari, Noragami and Planetes.

Okay? Okay.

On this episode of Bakacast, Ben takes the wheel because I wasn’t able to watch everything on time. I do, however, have things to say about One Punch Man, Owarimonogatari, and Perfect Insider, which are the truly the most important things in life. Also, Luke is back to actually talk about Aria AA this time!

Bakacast #277 – The Perfect Record

We don’t get many of these, so cherish them while they last.

This episode was originally going to come out days sooner, but then I got horribly, painfully sick with gastroenteritis! If you’re not sure what the hell that means, look it up. It’s fun. In short: I spent most of the weekend lying down in bed trying not to dehydrate. So, you know, not super conducive to podcast editing. I’m gonna try to get the episode we recorded last Thursday up before Christmas. I’m not sure if we’ll record another episode before Christmas, though, as the holiday schedules might not line up. If not, we’ll have another double-up episode like we did after Thanksgiving week.

Bakacast #276 – Surprise Harem Show

If there’s one thing I expect out of Gundam, it’s child brides.

We’re back from our Thanksgiving hiatus, and boy is there a lot of ground to cover. We keep the recording time pretty reasonable considering we had to double-up on shows, but Utawarerumono helped us out a bit by having not much going on. Instead, we spend most of our time praising Perfect Insider, arguing about Concrete Revolutio’s structure, and being mesmerized by Owarimonogatari’s background art.

Like if Satoshi Kon was obsessed with Legos.

Instead of using this spot to summarize some points we make in the podcast, I’ll inform y’all that we did not record anything on Thanksgiving week, because it was Thanksgiving week. So we’ll be doubling up on episode reviews during the next recording. Also also: I’ve been thinking about the workload that goes into making these podcasts lately, and how it takes a lot of time away from other content I’d like to be creating more regularly (as well as negatively impacting my performance on this podcast). The initial idea I brought up to my cohosts was a hiatus for the winter season, but that’s only a temporary solution; and I believe we’ve landed on a better one. Or are at least adjacent to a better one. We’ll let you know what we’ve decided on as soon as we’ve actually decided on it.

Bakacast #274 – Hanekawa Haters to the Left

You’re just jealous of her hair.

Now, look, I will concede that there may have been a time in the past where Hanekawa was one of the weakest cast members. But now ain’t that time, and if you’re not on board with the new and improved Catekawa, then I’m afraid I’m gonna have to ask you to leave the Cool Anime Club. Anyway, aside from the satisfying conclusion of Sodachi Lost where Hanekawa dunks on Ougi, Ushio to Tora decides to mix time travel with lots of murder, Utawarerumono has yet another dang bath house episode, Gundam gets some sweet space battles, Concrete Revolutio compels me to try and explain the concept of the Great Lakes Avengers, and One Punch Man gets a lot more shounen.

Oh yeah, and Perfect Insider is basically still…uh…perfect.

Bakacast #273 – Too Many Princesses

And only one of them is any good.

This Bakacast is really delayed, and I’m sorry about that. Life has been a bit hectic lately, particularly while I’m on the lookout for a new job. The next episode will likely be edited and up a couple days after this one, because I can’t stand having a backlog anymore. As for the podcast itself, on this episode we question the new direction Utawarerumono has taken, examine the very interesting but flawed portrayal of depression in Owarimonogatari, invoke Tomino in Concrete Revolutio, and actually have an argument for once when Noragami Aragoto affects Ben and me in two very different ways.

During listener questions, I mention many of the media critics I follow. Here are the links I promised to y’all can check them out.
