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.

Yeah, you can probably guess who came up with this episode title, can’t you?

Luke is back, and this time he takes on the first five episodes of Aquarion EVOL. Yeah. That show that we all like to varying degrees, mostly because of how completely ridiculous it is. At least he doesn’t have to feel bad about watching something for once. Then in our review segments, I finally begin to understand Ikuhara, and we review one of the best episodes of any show I’ve ever seen: Paranoia Agent #3.

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.
