On this episode of Bakacast, we all agree that attempting to use your girlfriend's new best friend for a blood ritual probably won't win you many brownie points. Also, Card Capture starts to have some plot progression?!
Read MoreEpisode 357 - She's Not A Robot?
On this episode of Bakacast, I learn an important lesson about not assuming someone is an artificial lifeform just because they have totally sweet metal arms and speak in a Data-like fashion.
Read MoreEpisode 356 - Fate/Umu: Best Saber
Behold our criticism! Listen to the thunderous laughter! Here is the honor of Audio Entropy! Like a blooming flower opening: The Golden Bakacast!
Read MoreEpisode 355 - Succumb to Moe
On this episode of Bakacast, we all slowly realize that our favorite show of the season is a cute-girls-doing-cute-things show. Aaron and I, especially, attempt to puzzle out how that happened, and whether we've secretly been replaced by pop people (aka Random Curiosity commentators).
Read MoreEpisode 354 - Card Catchup Emily
It's time for the first Bakacast of the Winter 2018 season! We start out our reviews with the new series of Card Captor Sakura, and I've brought in my fellow Audio Entropy podcaster, Emily, to help us out. We then give our first impressions on a bunch of the shows that aired during the first two weeks, which end up mostly being a mix of pleasant surprises and shocking disappointments.
Read MoreBonus - Fall 2017 Leftovers
On this special episode of Bakacast, Larry and Ben review the shows they watched that we didn't get to on the regular show (mostly because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to watch more than is absolutely necessary).
Read MoreEpisode 353 - Ringing Bell 2: Ewelectric Boogaloo
On this episode of Bakacast, we start the show with our Anime of the Year 2017 categories before getting to the very last reviews of the winter season. All of us had some tough cuts to make for our personal top 5 lists (except for Aaron, apparently) and some of the special categories ended up being surprisingly tough.
Read MoreEpisode 352 - JUST KISS ALREADY
On this episode of Bakacast, we finish out MMO Junkie and Juni Taisen, two shows that had stronger beginnings than they did endings. Also we do our best not to fall asleep while reviewing, as we recorded late on Christmas Eve and we were all a little sleepy.
Read MoreEpisode 351 - Fathomless Blue Was Right
On this episode of Bakacast, we spend a full hour previewing the upcoming Winter season. And that's even with us immediately saying "hell no" to a decent chunk of the shows and then moving on. Also, I take a moment to stroke Fathomless Blue's ego a bit, because I guess he deserves it. Maybe.
Read MoreEpisode 350 - Our Precious Fishman
On this episode of Bakacast, we channel our inner Guillermo del Toro and talk about how much we love that Blood Blockade remembered that it had a very good softboy fishperson lying around and decided to give him an episode. Also, I start to have serious concerns about Inuyashiki and Juni Taisen.
Read MoreBonus Episode - Kemono Friends [EXPLICIT]
Is it perhaps ironic that the Kemono Friends episode is the first one in a while that has the most explicit language since the JoJo Bizarre Rewatch bonus episodes? Yes, probably. Y'all can blame Julie for that. In any case, since Luke's original audio got lost to the ether somehow, I decided to marathon almost all of the show and then get Julie on to help Luke and me do a slightly deeper dive into the show, because it deserves it.
Read MoreEpisode 349 - Shine Bright Like a Diamond
On this episode of Bakacast, we make up for the shows we've dropped by adding a couple more to the list. For our first addition, we spend some time talking about both the beauty and existential dread of Land of the Lustrous (arguably the best-looking CG anime so far). And for our second, I gush about Recovery of an MMO Junkie and how it somehow managed to get me to watch a rom-com.
Episode 348 - Skulls for the Skull Car
On this episode of Bakacast, we start off with a listener question that tasks us with deciding Netflix's anime production plans that prompts us to dig deep for both obvious and obscure choices. We also add Inuyashiki to our watch list, a show that has two very strong intro episodes but still gives us a little pause due to, you know, it being written by Hiroya Oku, the dude who also made the infamous Gantz. Meanwhile, Garo impresses, Whales disappoint, and Kino's Journey sparks a discussion about the value of different adaptation styles.
Read MoreEpisode 347 - Dustin's Vampire Bias
On this episode of Bakacast, we discuss The Reflection's bizarre ending, how even a badass blonde vampire can't save UQ Holder, what Blood Blockade's directorial change means for its new season, and some strong opening episodes from Garo, Kino and Magus' Bride.
Read MoreEpisode 346 - Never Stop Yelling
I have no write-up for this episode of Bakacast, because the Youtube video you can find in the main post will suffice. Click through...if you dare.
Read MoreEpisode 345 - Lewd Hand-Holding
On this episode of Bakacast, we ring in the strangely anti-climatic end Princess Principal. Also, we spend a good chunk of time contrasting the how poorly Rage of Bahamut attempts to handle moral ambiguity with how well Shoukaku no Altair approaches similar topics. Also, Ben and I finally get around to talking in-depth about the strengths and weakness of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable.
Read MoreEpisode 344 - More Like Crapula
On this episode of Bakacast, we mock Fate/Apocrypha's portrayal of Dracula, which may be one of the lamest in the history of vampire media. Meanwhile, Altair and Reflection continue to impress while Virgin Soul continues to hurt my soul. Oh yeah, and we talk about the upcoming fall shows for far too long.
Read MoreEpisode 343 - Infinite Matroyshka Doll Engine
On this episode of Bakacast, I finally tap out on Made in Abyss, take the good with the bad in My Hero Academy, and continue to be baffled by The Reflection ending up being a show I look forward to even more than Rage of Bahamut.
Read MoreEpisode 342 - Remove Their Pants
On this episode of Bakacast, I treat myself for my birthday and have Luke review Brave Witches solo. I say I deserve it. Also, Fate/Apocrypha gets dumber, and Made in Abyss becomes more divisive.
Episode 341 - Black Lizard Planet
Another day, another episode of Bakacast where we transition from discussing laundry entrepreneurship to a half-vampire dating a sassy high-school senior at a bowling alley. You know, the usual. Also, I get VERY MAD about Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul.
