Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #110 - Japan's Gay Barista Conspiracy

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast

Bcom, Kat, and Leo discuss the 10th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! Bcom kicks things off by reviewing Studio 3Hz’s latest project, Blackfox: a totally decent movie. We propose ethical solutions to Japan’s birthrate issues during Kat’s recap of Dumbbell episode 10, and otherwise generally complain about some dumb developments. The Maidens start pushing the sexual tension to the max as emotions reach their peak in all of their relationships, and they find the confidence to make their moves and experience some crushing rejections. We then get into an extra flamboyant review of Demon Slayer’s latest episode, where the fate of Nezuko is decided. We finally found out who the traitor is in Kanata no Astra, and we start losing our minds at some of the more blatant plot conveniences in the backstory of the show. With the latest episode of Dr. STONE, Kat asks the age-old question…can you f*** a watermelon? We get annoyed at hair-cutting tropes in Given, and uncover a grand conspiracy common to LGBT anime adaptations. Thorkell wreaks havoc on the Danes’ best-laid plans in Vinland Saga, and Canute cannot communicate his feelings. The Mars Grammy awards roll around, and Carole and Tuesday collaborate with Crystal to deliver a moving performance, which is quickly overshadowed by Angela laying her soul bare.
