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.

You’re the best, Al.

JoJo’s marks our first show of the season to have it’s finale, and we can only hope that the rest of the shows we like end on just as high a note. Blood Blockade might do it, but Fate/Stay Night ain’t lookin’ too hot right about now. Even Yamada-kun is stumbling at the finish line.

Bakacast #254 – Put On Your Angry Face

You can’t say no to Kusanagi’s angry face.

On this episode of Bakacast, Luke gives us our long-awaited review of Triage X. Unfortunately, it is not nearly as ridiculous as Highschool of the Dead. But then, how many shows truly are?

As far as the reviews of the (mostly) not-terrible shows go, we love Jotaro playing tag with a vampire, we hate Shirou continuing to harp about ideals in the middle of a much more interesting battle, we’re divided on how well Arslan is telling it’s story, we have no idea what Punch Line is doing anymore, we’re afraid that Sidonia is going to some very dark places soon, and we’re as super-stoked as the Logicomas to be hanging out with Motoko Kusanagi again.

Bakacast #253 – Return of the Mana Dolphins

Is this what sex is like?

This week on Bakacast, I actually remember to record it. So that’s helpful. In anime news, though, Larry gets back on board with JoJo’s, Aaron and I attempt to puzzle out exactly how stupid Shirou is, Sidonia really gets its money’s worth out of that squeaky-toy sound effect, and Kick Heart delights us. Well, most of us.

Oh, and we go through the shows we have to look forward to in the summer season. The verdict? A big ol’ shrug of our shoulders. Seriously, outside of, like, two shows, we have no idea how solid next season’s gonna be.

Bakacast #251 – Wet and Ready

The Little Caesars of sexual innuendo.

I don’t know why I’m watching anything other than Blood Blockade Battlefront. Like, what’s even the purpose of anything else? JoJo’s is cool, I guess, but the only characters worth a damn are Jotaro and Dio (and I guess we can count Joseph for his meme potential). Fate/Stay Night has decided that endlessly repeating a stupid argument is way more interesting than, you know, plot development, fight scenes, and its only remaining female characters (who happen to be the best ones it has). Sidonia has fallen into the abyss of endless fanservice. And Arslan is…well…it definitely ain’t Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Next week, I’ll just skip all the other shows and watch BBB eight times.

Unknown to brevity, nor known to pacing.

I chose the image for this episode largely because I like seeing Shinji in physical distress, which happens to be the only satisfying thing about F/SN right now. Thankfully, JoJo is finally out of the doldrums and back to being ridiculous in an entertaining way. Punch Line surprises us by finally showing us its true power level (and revealing something about its main character that I really hope I have the correct interpretation of, because it’d be really cool). Nanoha Vivid, however, has started to make me feel uncomfortable while watching it. And Paranoia Agent finishes by leaving us somewhat baffled and mildly unsatisfied.

Even though he’s a murderer, I kind of prefer JoJo’s Vanilla Ice.

I have been waiting for this episode of JoJo’s for so long. I am so happy we can finally talk about it. And I am also very happy that Nanoha Vivid has finally gotten around to showing its titular character fighting. Took it long enough. Meanwhile, Fate/Stay Night continues to mistakenly believe that anyone cares about Archer and Shirou’s mutual angst, Blood Blockade makes even filler episodes entertaining, I still hate that asshole bard in Arslan, and Punch Line is actually really interesting now? Huh.
