In this episode we wrap up Imaishi October by piercing the heavens with our drill and reviewing Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann! Of course we're kicking logic out and doing the impossible because joining us for this review is Dan from the Otaku Host Club podcast. Together we break down the greatness of Gurren Lagann, and discuss why Imaishi stands out as a director. Enjoy!

The autumn winds are blowing in and changing the color of all the leaves but it isn't changing us as we're loading up another pile of anime that we sampled from the latest season! While fall 2025 certainly isn't reaching the dizzying heights of summer, it's still MORE anime so we're putting it on ourselves to give our first takes of some of fall's best... so not One Punch Man for sure. That's a joke so please don't send angry tweets or xeets or whatever to the staff (like some other people). We're talking about Spy x Family, Sanda, My...

We're in the midst of Imaishi October, and we've come to what could be considered his "Magnum Opus." Kill la Kill is an ambitious show, not just in its content but also the fact that it was Studio Trigger's first work. That being said, we felt it necessary to enlist the help of our good friend, Som from the Anime Summit podcast. Together we do our best to review the monument of anime that is Kill la Kill!

In this episode we're continuing Imaishi October with a review of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. This anime might be the most vulgar display of vulgarity that we've ever seen, which is saying something. Listen in as we dissect the absolute insanity that is Hiroyuki Imaishi and PSG!

In this episode we kick of another themed month, this time focusing on the works of Hiroyuki Imaishi! And we can't think of a better anime to start of this month of madness than his directorial debut, Dead Leaves. Quite possibly the most insane anime we've ever witnessed, but we wouldn't expect anything less form Imaishi.

We're having our very own flashback episode this week as we take you back to the year 2022 to check out a collaboration episode that never made it to the digital airwaves! All the anime brothers are featured in this episode as we all try to review but end up slowly roasting the anime "Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attack?"! Also known as Okaa-san Online for short, this anime tried to mix MILF into isekai to highly questionable results!

In this episode we review the movie "The First Slam Dunk." A re-telling of the original Slam Dunk, this anime depicts the final game of the series with flashbacks to fill in the gaps. A bold choice for an adaptation of a 100 episode series, but with the original mangaka Takehiko Inoue as the writer and director this film it has gained critical praise!
