On this episode of JJBR, I bring in another cohost: my good friend Ty, who some of you may remember from Roll For Your Lives, the tabletop RPG podcast I did for a spell. We Bruno’s varied and unsettling use of zippers, extremely detailed face-punching, and falling in love with your enemy.

On this episode of Bakacast, we encounter the tonally-diverse middle section of Cowboy Bebop and go into detail about the beautiful tragedies at play in Katanagatari.
Read MoreJoJo's Bizarre Rewatch 5.1 - The Taste of Lies
Just because Bakacast has switched to a different format doesn’t mean we’re abandoning JoJo’s reviews. We will never abandon JoJo’s reviews. Instead of putting it on the main show, though, I’m bringing JoJo’s Bizarre Rewatch back from hiatus, with Luke and Ben joining me as my cohosts. Please ignore all the episodes in between that we never covered on JJBR.
Read MoreEpisode 371 - Alfred the Otaku
On this episode of Bakacast, we review the delightfully entertaining absurdity of Batman Ninja; delve into Nisio Isin’s tale of swords and souls, Katanagatari; and I finally get around to watching the biggest shame in my series backlog: Cowboy Bebop.
Read MoreEpisode 370 - Present Day, Present Time
On this episode of Bakacast, we immerse ourselves in cyberspace and ask the important question: what is Lain, like, even about, man? Also: Mob Psycho 100 finale gets surprisingly philosophical about the nature of conflict and supervillains.
Read MoreEpisode 369 - The Last Umu

Read MoreEpisode 365 - My Cyberpunk Girlfriend
I was hoping--deep in my heart--that someday anime would give me more female character designs that looked like the ones in 80's/90's sci-fi, like Bubblegum Crisis, Dirty Pair and Outlaw Star. I just never expected an FLCL sequel to give me what I wanted. Her name is Julia Jinyu, and I love her so much.
Read MoreEpisode 364 - Guns Aren't Fun
On this episode of Bakacast, Lupin III teaches us a valuable lesson that guns are not toys and will definitely kill anyone who is not a main character.
Read MoreEpisode 363 - Ruka is a Girl!
Look, I get that Steins;Gate means well. Ruka is consistently portrayed as one of the most sensible people on the show. But also, stop saying Ruka is a man, dang it! She's a girl, and I will die on this hill.
Read MoreEpisode 362 - Muscles Should Stay on the Inside
On this episode of Bakacast, My Hero Academy decides to give us the most body-horror villain yet. I can't say I'm a fan.
Read MoreEpisode 361 - Dragon Vore Z
On this episode of Bakacast, our fears about the long-awaited Full Metal Panic sequel crashing and burning are put to rest, Hinamatsuri takes a goofy premise and turns it into something truly delightful, and Hisone to Masotan tricks us all into liking a show about vore. I am not even exaggerating.
Read MoreEpisode 360 - Bear Simulator 2018
Here come the first set of reviews of the Spring 2018 season directly from Bakacast. Sure, they may be outdated, but they're Fair And Balanced. And that's really what matters, right?
Read MoreEpisode 359 - Buried Alive in Anime
On this extremely late episode of Bakacast, we finish up the Winter 2018 anime and preview the Spring 2018 anime. Because previews are most useful when you're already a month into the season. I'm very good at my job.
Read MoreEpisode 358 - Please Don't Do A Blood Sacrifice
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.

Behold our criticism! Listen to the thunderous laughter! Here is the honor of Audio Entropy! Like a blooming flower opening: The Golden Bakacast!
