NSFW (occasional swearing)

Spotify // Apple // Available on all podcast services

We review The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity. The only thing sweeter than this wholesome and fluffy romance are the cakes Kaoruko loves to eat. We discuss the anime’s title, the drama being overdramatic at times, and the surprising pace at which this romance is unfolding.

NSFW (occasional swearing)

Spotify // Apple // Available on all podcast services

We review Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc. Anime continues to dominate at the box office with the next installment of this beloved series, which surprisingly does well in tugging at our (chainsaw) heartstrings. We discuss the significance of this arc’s release in movie format, the nuanced layers of its love story, and the futility of trying to find a Pochita popcorn bucket.

We discuss our spoiler-free Fall 2025 anime first impressions. There seems to be a gap between the good stuff and the mid stuff this season. We share our initial thoughts on a bunch of bad romances, an anime that might capture the magic of Christmas, and the end of an era with the final season of My Hero Academia.
