Who said older movies are too slow? This week on the pod we watched 1983's Golgo 13: The Professional, the first anime adaptation of hitman Golgo 13 and the first anime to use (beautiful, smooth) computer graphics. It's an over-the-top male fantasy that (almost) never stops moving or being hilarious. We also talk about foreign languages, what an otaku really is, and our first videogames. |

Can you believe we actually caught up to a current show? It's been a long time, but we like this one enough to do it. We watched more Witch Hat Atelier this week (eps 4-6), so next week we gotta do something else while they put out more episodes! We also talk about hantavirus, Evil Dead, fairy Pokemon, homework, and Soy Vay. |
13 May 2026, 4:06 pm - 1 hour 13 minutesEp. 473 - Keyfob (Witch Hat Atelier Eps. 1-3)

Sticking to scrap-heap anime, we take a look at 1993 OVA Battle Angel...(Alita). It's two parts and it's on YouTube, definitely worth a look. We also talk about regional words, eating brains, dating a powerful robot girl, Fancy Nancy, and Terrace House. |

It gets abstract this week on the podcast, as we watch Mamoru Oshii's semi-forgotten anime film, Angel's Egg, from 1985. We also talk about Anatomy of a Fall, loads of 80s bands, Peeps, and the Silverball pinball museum of Asbury Park NJ. |
15 April 2026, 4:04 am - 1 hour 3 minutesEp. 469 - Just Steal the Ring (Lupin III The Castle of Cagliostro)
