In this episode of The Otaku Host Club Podcast, we dive into the controversy surrounding the recently announced Sakamoto Days anime adaptation. While fans have been eagerly awaiting the series to hit the screen, the reaction in Japan has been surprisingly mixed. From concerns over animation quality to debates about whether the series even needed an adaptation, we break down the discourse and explore what this could mean for the future of Sakamoto Days. Is the skepticism justified, or is this just pre-release jitters? Tune in as we unpack the drama and share our thoughts!

157. Anime Mystery Box: The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash
!! LISTENER REQUEST EPISODE !!Big thanks to Knucklehead in our Discord for suggesting this episode format!
In this new type of episode, we’re going to watch two episodes of a random anime neither of us has seen—without subtitles—and give our predictions about what the series is about. Then, we’ll watch the same two episodes again with subtitles and see how far off our predictions were! This was a really cool exercise in using context clues and paying attention to what’s being portrayed on screen, rather than relying on the subtitles to tell us what’s going on. We really enjoyed recording this type of episode, so we asked if you’d like us to do more episodes like this. But to be honest, we loved it so much that we’re doing it again anyway, haha. We hope you enjoy!!

DISCLAIMER Our in-person audio was super wonky this time around despite our thorough checks, we tried to clean it up but ultimately decided it would be better to release the episode as is. Thanks for listening if you can bear it. We've been waiting a very long time to watch and review this anime. Junji Ito is a frequent episode topic on OHC, and when a new iteration of Uzumaki was announced, you know we were stoked to see how they would interpret probably the most well-loved JI work. Unfortunately for us, we were super excited to see what they could do, but they really should have kept this one locked up tight in the vault. Join us this week as we review probably the worst retelling of this iconic work. Honestly, the 2001 live-action movie, in all of its campy early CGI glory, is better than this garbage.

Holy Heck what an episode guys! This might have been an episode on par with AOT's 4th Season, part-one episode 8 if you catch our drift— "nudge nudge".
So much happens in this episode it's hard to accumulate everything in this summary and not leave anything out but, we'll try. We pick up right where we left off inside Himeno's bedroom with Denji and Himeno about to have some sexy time, but all of that gets halted by Denji's feelings and instead of bumping uglies they bump fists in a friendship pact to hook each other up with their crushes.
Cut to a non-stop whirlwind of action in a train scene much shorter and bloodier than Mugen Train. A massive amount of gun-fu leads to us meeting the Katana Devil and Snake Devil in an out battle on par with Jujutsu Kaisen, and some of our most loved characters up until this point seemingly disappearing out of thin air.
But mostly Dan just talked about how sad this episode made him.

106. Urusei Yatsura: From Classic to Reboot
In recent years there has been a surge in rebooting older classic anime. Whether it's a full-on proper re-adaptation like Fruits Basket, or a newly reimagined version like Devilman Crybaby. We as fans of these series get a chance to re-live the magic over again while opening a new audience's eye to the beauty of older works and Urusei Yatsura might be the icing on the cake (well... if they could get Berserk right that would probably be the icing on the cake, but Urusei Yatsura would be the ice cream served with it.)
For new fans Urusei Yatsura is a gag manga written by Rumiko Takahashi, famous for Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha, that follows a horny lecherous teen as he has to save the world from an invading cute alien girl that prances around in tiger stripe bikini, only for that "alien" to interfere with his love life and prevent him from ever experiencing true love.. or just fondling any of the girls in the show.

Our devil hunter crew is still stuck on the 8th floor of the hotel labyrinth and we will soon learn that Kobeni is the last person you’d ever want to be stuck in a time loop with. I mean who'd ever trust someone who was forced by your mother to choose between being a devil hunter or a sex worker? Anyway, the crew finds they’ve exhausted all their options with the exception of Power whose mind is left to wander, coming up with wild ambitions to raise the sale tax to 100%.
Flashback to Aki and Himeno’s early partner days, life before Denji and Power. We are treated to a comical bonding moment and character development for our new cast member. Just when things were getting boring the devil we thought died evolves into a larger, grotesque Berserk-like creature that makes matters worse for the crew. The devil wants to make a contract that would sacrifice Denji's life for the others' safe exit.

“Girls with guns” has been a growing subgenre staple in anime ever since, well, the birth of anime. In the 80s we had series like Dirty Pair and Bubblegum Crisis, the 90s brought us Gunsmith Cats and Kite, and in the 00s there was Black Lagoon and Gunslinger Girl. Bringing us to present day with series like Sword Art Online Alternative, Otherside Picnic, High-Rise Invasion and countless other series that might not revolve around girls with guns, but they do have at least one girl with a gun. This last season of anime brought us another great series to add to that list with Lycoris Recoil and made us want to explore the sub genre as a whole. This anime original series about orphaned girls turned trained assassins enlisted to keep this futuristic eutopic Tokyo, safe from any kind of threat is a stellar addition to the genre while building on the tropes that make this subgenre so iconic.

We met Kali and her grandfather Helgi at A-Kon this year as they were our neighbors in the vendors' hall. Helgi has been running his business for over 30 years! And while it wasn't always an anime store, we wanted to know the behind-the-scenes of what it takes to run a successful anime business in the age of anime and nerd fandom becoming mainstream. How many family members does it take? Are conventions worth it? Is there competition? Do they have to wait for pre-orders as well? All of these questions and more will be answered!

This series is unlike any other, from its well crafted soundtrack, to expert character study, and superior world building, there is a reason why it's the most talked about fantasy anime to come out in recent years. Along with some other reasons we'll get into! ****Disclaimer**** Made in Abyss, for those who don't know, while looking super cute and happy is extremely dark and mature and for this episode we don't shy away from those themes. This episode is less of a review of the series as a whole and more of an open discussion on its themes, characters, plot for those who have watched the series. We recommend watching Made in Abyss (if you so choose) before listening to this episode. Listener discretion is advised.

We're re-counting our experiences day by day and touching on things we did and some con drama! Sunday was especially amazing because it was panel day! So if you are just joining us from our panel on Sunday, thank you so so much for taking the time to check us out, we hope you had a blast at our panel and welcome to our little anime community!
The next few episode were pre-recorded before Otakon because Dan is taking a month off to travel around southeast asia so we'll get back to business in September. If you have joined the Patreon or our discord your shout outs are coming we promise!

90. Studio Trigger Spotlight: Promare and Space Patrol Luluco
This week we bring you a Studio Trigger Spotlight! It is their 10-year anniversary this year and they've got a bunch of stuff going on at conventions around the country, project announcements, and live drawings, so we thought we'd also celebrate here on OHC! And of course, it gives Dan an excuse to gush about how much he loves Trigger. So we thought we'd compare and contrast some of Trigger's high-octane action shows like Promare and Kill la Kill to some of their softer-moe shows like Space Patrol Luluco and Little Witch Academia. Check out our bonus episode Amelia's Anime Hour: Anime Expo Report if you want to hear everything that went down at Anime Expo!

Do opposites really attrack? This "paradox" is tested when two women named Nana meet serendipitously on a train to Tokyo. One is an anti-social punk rocker, the other a straight-laced normie, but they become inseparable. In comes a large cast of characters that complicate their friendship! If you are a regular listener of the show, you'll already know we are huge fans of this 06' Shojo classic and it's easy to see why.

Then we get into a full spoiler review of Kotaro Lives Alone and reference the Netflix companion series Old Enough! *Netflix put the exclamation there, not us... If you haven't watched Kotaro, this is your sign to go watch it and let us know what place it took in anime of the year rankings for you! This series flew right under the radar for most people but we snatched it up and will never let it live alone again, and that's a promise!

We love anime theme music over here at OHC, so we had to bring you our newest panel idea, 50 Years of Anime Theme Music. We're covering anime OPs throughout history and the popular music of that era to compare just how iconic anime theme music is to popular culture, as well as its relevance in finding its way into a full-fledged medium; eventually making a name for itself in the Japanese music industry. We also will have the survey results we published for listeners of what anime theme songs we thought would best represent that decade and we'll share the results with you at the end of the episode!

Join us in this test run for one of our panel idea: the evolution of the anime fan. In the beginning there was only mail order VHS that you brought to your local sci-fi convention in hopes of finding that one other kindred anime lover spirit. Now we have a booming anime convention circuit, anime youtubers, podcasters, cosplayers and even VTUBERS!!! Literally we are becoming 2-d anime waifus! So lets take a look at how the fandom has evolved into this mecha-almost-mainstream-blossoming-community-of-otakus. From VHS to Vtubers!

83. Dead Leaves: A Punk-Rock Acid-Trip (Before Trigger Was Trigger)
There hasn't been a force as recognizable in the anime industry in the last ten years as studio Trigger. They have made a name for themselves for being groundbreaking visionaries of such classics as Gurren Laggan, Kill La Kill, and their most recent theatrical movie, Promare. But none of this would have been possible without the leading auteur Hiroyuki Imaishi. After Dan's failed attempt to ask Mr. Imaishi a question at an Otakon panel, way back in 2019, we decided to take a step back to revisit his directorial debut, Dead Leaves. Join us as we look at this 2005 classic that might have escaped your radar. Review starts at 38:40. https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub

SASAGEYO! We have found ourselves at the end of another final season of Attack on Titan. Next Season tentative title Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 3 but for real tho, this is the end. no srsly. I guess we're all a little sad AoT is over for now, but at least they aren't ending it with a movie, right guys?!
As we swim into the discussion of this episode, we get to see the gang be kind of normal for once. Levi catching thieves and getting seduced by clowns, Sasha eating everything in site, and the two love birds trying to define their relationship. A lot of our questions were answered in this last episode and of course in AoT fashion they leave us with a huge cliffhanger.
Thank you guys so much for coming on this journey with us, and the journey is not yet over, but we'll say Ja'ne for now until 2023. Shinzou wo sasageyo!

Amelia's Anime Hour: Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Review
Introducing a new segment here at OHC, Amelia's Anime Hour!! I wanted to bring you some bonus content to listen to because we just couldn't seem to fit it into our normal episodes and I really wanted to talk about it! Let me know if you guys enjoy this kind of thing and what other things you'd like me to cover!
I thought this was a fitting movie to review for my first solocast since it is the very first movie I've ever gone to see alone! I know that sounds kinda crazy but I'm not mad at it! The film was an excellent addition to the franchise and so so entertaining. Mappa did not hold any budget back for this film and it shows. It's so beautiful I'm not even sure if my eyes could see such hi-def! I won't spoil the rest of my review so I hope you'll give it a listen!

We're not really sure what about this episode made it retrospective but we get retrospective about the past and the future state of AoT. Amelia just now realizes Mikasa is GOAT... well second to Levi, obvi.. because in this episode Mikasa really showed us just how much she's grown. The Marleyan Titan duo gets annihilated trying to get the IT guys to the airship, Floch gives a less than awe-inspiring speech than his former captain, and Magath and Shadis finally meet and reconcile just in time to become heroes for the history books.

2 Year Anniversary Episode Trailer!
Can you believe it’s been two years since we began our little podcast way back in 2020, during the world's reckoning with the pandemic? So many anime podcasts were born out of the national-wide lockdowns, including us. A lot has happened since then: we helped create a small anime community, made new friends along the way, watched some questionable series like Kiss x Sis, and hosted our very first anime panel at Otakon. But none of it would be worth it without listeners like you. So, what we want you to do is ask us questions you always wanted to know, no matter how ridiculous or serious they may be, anime-related or not. We also want you to tell us what your favorite opening theme songs are, you know the ones that never get old, even on repeat. Send your questions and theme songs to [email protected] or find us on your favorite social media site. Links available in the description!

SASAGEYO!! We're back this week to talk about episode 85 "Traitor." With three episodes left until the end of the season, we're not sure why they are spending time on some things and not spending time on others. LOTS of anime logic and LOTS of coincidental happenstances leading up to this episode. And all we're saying is everybody keeps an eye on Gabi... she's known to go off rails and take matters into her own hands, and while she has some redeeming qualities, you never know. Also, Mappa really playing up the "memeability" of these faces! We could not stop looking a Daz and his crazy eyes!

SASAGEYO!! We're back this week to talk about episodes 83 "Pride" and 84 "Night of the End." We had some technical issues recording this one but hopefully, it sounds seamless to you guys! SO Levi wasn't dead and while he might be missing a few of his parts he's still down to take out Zeke. Too bad Zeke is the least of everyone's worries now with The Rumbling actually leaving the island. Or is he?? Only manga readers know the answer to that one... and after Connie's villain arc that actually kind of brought everyone closer together, Jean decided it was time to give Reiner a swift kick back to reality. Once the Avenger's team has assembled they take to the woods to have a kumbayah moment before deciding to call a somewhat truce so they can deal with the real villain.

75. March Moe Madness: Moe 101
Amelia has been wanting to do this episode basically since the inception of the podcast and the time has finally come. Lucky for you we turned it into a whole month of dedicated Moe discussions!
To consume Moe one must first understand the origins of the word itself and the characters and series that make this style of animation what it has evolved into today. First, we break down the word and then we talk about the character that started it all. Then we get into themes and tropes of the style and talk a bit about our experiences with Moe anime. And then we break down what Moe means to us. Then we dive into the question: Is it Moe? Or is it just cute girls doing cute things? Moe as a style is so broad and is pretty subjective. What one person might think is really cute and another person you might find totally annoying. So is it actually Moe?
We posted a link in our discord chat channel #podcast-episodes (link below) of a list of a lot of the Moe anime we talked about in the episode and where to find them

Before there was One Room and Marukra no Danshi, there were these things called VHS tapes that played movies and you could go to a store that had a ton to choose from and you would pay them money to borrow it for a short period of time. We know a lot of you probably know what a VHS is but most of you have probably forgotten about this 90s OVA classic, Video Girl Ai. Imagine if that tape you just rented had a girl who could cheer you up when you were feeling lonely, but your VHS player was on the fritz and the girl came out of the TV and accidentally fell in love with you. Now that, my friends, is what we call a great time. And what better way to share this classic sci-fi rom-com with our friends over at Strictly Anime, Courtney, and Karl! We love showing people what anime can do, especially in the form of classic OVA series.. apparently.

This isn’t just your run of the mill anime movie about a delinquent guy who looks like Saitama and wants to start a band. No, this is very stylized story telling mixed with vibrant sound design and animation sequences that pop out of the screen. This film is definitely something anyone who has gotten into any kind of music can relate to and rang pretty true to Geoff and Dan who have been in numerous bands of their own.

What happens when Japan thinks "We need more Star Wars, but let's make it anime." They spread a piece of the Star Wars pie around to a bunch of different studios and whabam Star Wars: Visions. We're not saying we hated it but we're not not saying that either. We come from a couple different Star Wars fandom backgrounds, one mildly big fan, one moderate fan, and Amelia, who really doesn't care about Star Wars at all. We break this one down by episode and tell you our favorites... and Dan rants about his new chicken neighbor.. hence the title.

56. Madoka Magica: A Decade Later
So a magical girl and a demon cat thing walk into a bar.... Now that we have your attention it's been 10 years since the birth of one of the most iconic genre subverting series to grace our eyes and for this episode we decided we needed a little help from our good friend Kristella. She found us a really cool online academic journal that brings up a lot of really compelling and provocative takes on this magical girl classic. It's been 10 years.. we can say it's a classic now, right? Oh and Kristella and Dan go off about One Piece for like a half hour cuz Kristella is doing the anime god's dirty work by bingeing OP in like a few months.

Well, we finally got confirmation of what we knew all along, this was in fact part one of the “final season” of Attack on Titan. We hate to say I told you so, but WE TOLD YOU SO. And just like almost every character in this final season.. besides Onyankopon, he’s a good dude who’s friends just leave him out of the loop.. we can’t trust the Attack on Titan production committee to be sincere about just how much more anime there might actually be. Two parts? Three parts? a Trilogy movie set? We’ll forever speculate until the continuation coming this winter, potentially, we aren’t over our trust issues. We hope you enjoyed all of our theories, character scrutinizing, and objectification of all the hotties who glew up this season.

So we've reached a milestone this month. One year ago—right as lockdowns went into place, a numerous amount of anime fans started up podcast including us. These included people who we are dear friends with now, people we have built community with. Even under adversity like we've never seen in our lifetime—every cloud has a silver lining as they say. Fast-forward a year later to 2021 and all is not lost. Vaccines are being pumped out by the millions with some glimpse of normalcy on the horizon. But without you the listener this would all be pointless. Thank you for spending the last year with us through thick and through thin, though kidney stones, tattoos, and BBQ road-trips and even scat torture porn. Celebrate with us with a trip down memory lane, listen back to some of our favorite moments of 2021. Maybe anime will save the world after all. Welcome to the Otaku Host Club.

19. Aggretsuko S1-S3 Review
The past couple of months have been anxiety ridden to say the least. The election is “over” with ballads still being counted in multiple states; meanwhile Trump refuses to concede his presidency. With all the pent up emotions and tension over the last few months, it's enough to make one want to explode! But thanks to Sanrio and Netflix, we have a perfect remedy for such aliments. That's right folks, Aggretsuko is here to save the day from the toxic-misogynist still holding up camp in the White House; along with our good friends Sean and Jody, we tackle the deep underlying themes that Netflix's Aggretsuko have to offer.

18. Not Your Grandparents Horror Manga: The Ito Junji Spotlight
With halloween just around the corner, we decided to step out of our comfort zones and review our first manga! If you've been sleeping under a rock for the last 30 years, it's time to step out and into the world of walking zombie-fish, hypnotizing spirals, and an immortal succubus named Tomie. This is the world created by Ito Junji, the legendary mangaka who got his start in horror more than 30 years ago with Tomie. We will look at Tomie, Gyo and Uzumaki, his most familiar works and talk about what makes us scared on this Halloween special. Please join us!

12. Sakura Diaries: When Daddy’s Away My Cousin Comes Out to Play!
Love has many faces and the Japanese really capture this, especially when it's romance between two family members and this 90's classic fits this trop perfectly. Sakura Diaries centers around the complicated relationship of high school student Urara and her childhood crush Touma. Touma comes to Tokyo to study at Cram school, but little does he know that his cousin has the hots for him, but it's not as simple as that because Dad is gone, leaving the house in their hands. Let's just say things don't stay PG. Join us this week as we review Sakura Diaries and discuss how Netflix is influencing the anime industry. https://www.otakuhostclub.com/ 10:00 - Netflix Discussion 43:20 - What's Making Us Happy 1:04:30 - Review - JOIN THE DISCUSSION ON - https://discord.gg/Ac5Gfr9

10. Tokyo Sinks 2020: The Moral and Ethical Debate of Sharing Bottled Water
We've finally arrived at our small achievement of reaching 10 episodes and this will be our fifth Netflix review; these are't great odds! Come to find out, Netlflix is stepping up their game and producing exceedingly better content. This is not a bad thing per say, but our general distaste for Netflix's Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, lingers on and it's hard to imagine this being better than BNA or Beastars. Well we took the leap of faith on a last minute binge and decided why the fuck not?! If you love Musaaki Yuasa as much as we do, then you'll want to listen to this episode! Plus we have some bonus material at the end of the episode as we discuss overhyped anime shows from years past. 8:00 - Review of "Japan Sinks" 1:11:10 - Overhyped Anime!

9. Trigger's BNA: Brand New Anime!
It's been almost a year since we saw Trigger premiere Promare at Otakon 2019, along with a sneak-peek of BNA: Brand New Animal; and with great anticipation, it's now on Netflix! You might even notice a trend on our podcast, don't worry we are not affiliated with Netflix in any shape or form. Even with some disdain from some of us, Netflix is pumping out some pretty great content and this is no exception. From Baki to Dorohedoro, from Beastars to BNA; we are continuously being surprised. This week we break down BNA and compare it to other Trigger's work we know and love.

Episode 05, Trailer
I want you to close your eyes and picture a dystopian world, one with 24/7 surveillance, a collapsed world economy, and endless war. If this already sounds familiar it’s probably because it’s not too far off from the world we live in. Now jump ahead 25 year to the year 2045; humans have cyber brains dialed into the net, all cars are autonomous, and humans have evolved into “post-humans”, which are capable of doing naked backflips up stairs! This is the world of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 and section 9 is back for more action, but this time with a naked man doing backflips! You may ask why should I care? Well, we are here to tell you why you should and shouldn’t give two shits about this anime! Join us this Wednesday for episode 5 of Otaku Host Club, you won’t be disappointed you did!
