With little but some brief movie and game talk to distract us this week (There Will Be Blood, The Master, Stream, and Signalis), we get right into our next show Black Butler! We talk about how its opening run of episodes make for a great darkly comedic time when it isn't being distracted by "the plot."
CWs: Discussions of misogyny, violence against women, violence against sex workers

CWs: Discussions of rape, suicide, and transphobia

And we also have a decent-sized chat about Princess Arete at the end, a lovely little feminist subversion of classic fairytales.

Sene talks a bit about Interview with the Vampire's adaptation and original novel for 2 minutes before I give my rundown of every Showa and Heisei Godzilla films (plus the 1998 American one). Also I guess we talk about some of the best episodes of anime we've watched for the podcast?

We both saw the TV glow, and we did not like what we saw. We talk about the film's indifferent 90s aesthetic, its perspective on transitioning, and its racism.
CWs: Discussions of child abuse, transphobia, self-harm, suicide, and racism.

Short episode this week, but that's not a reflection on the quality of the anime! We talk about the back half of Black Lagoon Season 1 and how pleasantly surprised we are about its view of its own characters and its post-communist reflections.

We return to our old ways with an hour long pod about six episodes of Black Lagoon, an intensely 2006 show in a (mostly) good way. We talk about our first impressions on the show's characters, mood, and...take on nazis? There's also talk about Space Runaway Ideon, the Neon Genesis Evangelion manga, Ghost in the Shell 2.0, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, and Terrifier 1 and 2 at the start!

We finally did it: a full spoiler podcast about all of Evangelion. Only a bit of weed required! Liv also watched all of Anno's live action movies. Apologies for no summaries in the episode, this was easily our longest podcast even without those. Time stamps on everything we covered are below.
Content Warnings: Discussions of rape, sexual assault, pedophilia, graphic violence, abstracted genocide

Congratulations to SAG-AFTRA for their successful strike! This means we get in a bit of movie talk at the front about Five Nights at Freddy's, Priscilla, Benedetta, Irma Vep, and The Last Duel, and determine whether or not one should watch Rashomon. We then get into the 2013 anime The Flowers of Evil (and its source manga to a lesser extent) and talk about depressive vibes, thinly characterized women, and what stories work better when you haven't experienced a ton.
CWs: Discussions of rape, child nudity, and suicide.

A very crunchy quartet of episodes greets us this week on TBH as we cross over the midpoint of Mushi-Shi -Next Passage- and its accompanying mid-season OVA! We talk about the show's reflections on reoccurring trauma, cycles within nature, and of course, how much it sucks to be a woman.

No break this week as we immediately jump back into six more episodes of Mushi-Shi -Next Passage-! We talk about the show's increasingly clear visual improvements, its embrace of (generally) more straightforward narratives, and...breast milk? We also chat a little bit about Gundam 00, Ideon, and Lies of P!

We finally found some time to record and are back with talk on the first few episodes of the 2014 continuation of Mushishi! We hoped the 9 year break would allow the show to return to the heights of its earlier episodes, but so far we're a bit...underwhelmed. We also talk for a bit about Konosuba, Demon City Shinjuku, Magic Knight Rayearth, and the first three episodes of Gundam 00 (no spoilers)!
