In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only idol groups.

On this episode of Bakacast, an embarrassing episode of Active Raid causes us to give it the boot, I try to puzzle my way through the character relationships in Shirayuki-hime, and my fears of the new Macross series are pretty much confirmed.

Bakacast #281 – The Return of Cool Mom

She’s not a direct sequel to the original Cool Mom; she’s more like a spiritual successor.

It’s the second week of the winter season, which means this is where we actually get down and dirty with the new shows (and mercilessly destroy the ones undeserving of our time). Though, honestly, the shows we’ve picked seem mostly fine? So our decision of which five to review regularly is more about which ones we care about the most rather than which ones don’t totally suck.

Well, except for Schwarzesmarken. That show totally sucks.

Bakacast #280 – Jazz is the Mobile Suits You Don’t Murder

I’m guessing Careless Whisper probably won’t be blasting out of that Gundam’s speakers anytime soon.

We usher in what is technically the first week of the winter season with a mercifully short episode for a change. It’s just under an hour! AMAZING! Since most shows from fall were done and the majority of winter shows hadn’t aired yet, we padded the episode out a bit with reviews of the first two episodes of Yamato 2199 and the first Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt OVA. Considering all of us on Bakacast are sci-fi nerds, both of those shows being very good made us quite happy. It certainly makes up for KyoAni going from the critically-acclaimed Sound Euphonium to the dreck that is Musaigen no Phantom World.
