Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #105 - A Savage Season of Unfortunate Locks

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast

Kat, Leo and Bcom are back to review the 5th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick things off with Kat ranting about her hilariously awful experience with Groupon customer service. Leo updates us on his continuing trouble with Remnant of the Ashes, and Bcom reviews then 1979 anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. Once we get into weekly anime, it’s time to get in running shape for the Dumbbell girls, which means working hamstrings and abdominal muscles, to embrace their inner Flo-Jo. Two of the Maidens have their eyes set on much older men in their savage seasons, which leads to some very awkward interactions, but the episode ends on a high note with one of the cutest anime confession scenes we’ve watched in a long time. We spend more time hyping up Demon Slayer ep. 19 than actually properly covering episode 18. We wrap up another disappointing episode of BEM with complaints about its directionless story and weak animation from Kat and Bcom. After the break, we get into a divisive episode of Dr. STONE, which had us arguing about whether or not the second half flashback was a waste of our time, and who we would choose to kill off between ourselves, our lovers, or our friends. Our Given segment becomes a storytelling session about our experiences with love at first sight. This week’s Demon Girl Next Door review is a shitshow of the highest order, which Bcom very professionally manages to soldier through. And finally, in Carole and Tuesday, Ertegun has to do some thinking about what he truly wants to be as an artist after tragically handing his financial portfolio over to a horny Pinocchio robot.
Recorded August 28, 2019.
