Feudal Anime Podcast

This week we talk about Chivalry of a Failed Knight and talked about the vibe of the anime and not so much the plot. One of the main points that we touch on is that the main couple actually communicates. We also talk about the main character Ikki and how he makes his own style because no one would train him, and he has a skill that is basically a burst mode that hits hard and then floors him right after. We even argued about chivalry and finally landed on yes, Ikki also sets boundaries and is willing to help people with no strings attached. One thing though is that the pacing bugged us with what seemed like jumps between episodes or ground work laid out but it also felt like there were whole sections just left out. All in all it was an entertaining show and is worth the watch. Set in a modern world where a small number of humans possess the ability to manipulate their souls into powerful weapons, these individuals are known as "Blazers." and the main story follows Ikki, the so-called “Worst One” at Hagun Acad

This week we talk about how Power-Rangers-meets-isekai in The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World, where the MC Togo “dies” but wakes in a fantasy world, we laugh about the stat sheet and how his lists punch and kick separately and some subtle gags and the classic Power Ranger trope where enemies randomly explode on defeat. We note a teased “silver” ranger, bandage/bond visual puns like “adhesion squad” and “bond breakers” with a late-season tone shift that suddenly goes dark.The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World mashes heroics and isekai comedy. Togo, the red leader of the Kizuna Five, dies(?) during a last stand against his nemesis and wakes up in a fantasy world where magic users can’t make sense of his techy ranger gear. In the new world he keeps doing hero work as Kizuna Red, while he eventually teams up with the headstrong mage Yihdra Arvoln, princess Teltina, and knightly bodyguard Lowji to take on the forces of “evil”.Next Week's Pick: "Chivalry of a Failed Knight"Have yo

Lycoris Recoil takes place in Tokyo, and follows elite teen agents “Lycoris,” raised by the secret government agency called Direct Attack (DA) whos job is to quietly prevent crime and terrorism. Takina, one of the Main Characters, is given a disciplinary transfer and is forced to be partners with the cheerful prodigy Chisato at front company café LycoReco. This show is a blend of stylish gunfights and cozy café jobs with a dash of found-family vibes while the pair also tries to foil the anarchist Majima and uncover secrets of those close to them.Another solo-hosted this week for Jack but Rick should be back next time and we dove into Lycoris Recoil as recommended by CJ. We talk through why the show works moment-to-moment from stylish gunfights and cozy café vibes, to the sunshine-gremlin Chisato, rubber bullets, bullet-dodging “reads”, and bouncing off mission-first Takina all while Majima stirs chaos and the Alan Institute teases a bigger conspiracy. And then Jack starts to get hung up about the gaps like ju

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court follows two high school girls, who look like total opposites, meet up everyday after class at the mall food court on their way home to just talk about life while they eat whatever catches their eyes. Wada is seen as a quiet, perfect honor student but in reality she’s actually a gacha game diehard with zero chill when it comes to her favorite SSR. Yamamoto has the look of a flashy gyaru type but in reality she’s thoughtful, grounded, and way more studious than people think. Every episode drops into a handful of mini-stories about whatever chaos Wada brings that day, while Yamamoto keeps her friend tethered.This week is another solo episode with Jack but Rick did send him some notes and his score. It was also a recommendation from Major Montana. The show in general for Jack was solid and was easy to watch in the sense that it was easy to get through. It was not a heavy show but rather it was something that literally took you in the day in the life of 2 friends who meet up ever

Love Flops follows Asahi, an average high school kid whose day goes sideways after a morning fortune-telling segment from an AI program, and it all starts coming true one prediction at a time and for each one that comes true he crashes into a different girls from around the world and somehow ends up rooming with them. It plays like how you would expect from any harem comedy at first, then it pivots into a sci-fi twist about simulated reality and grief when you learn why these “perfect encounters” keep happening. The show leans into fanservice at the start, but then it starts to ask some heavier questions near the end about escapism and moving forward.We jumped into Love Flops at the recommendation of Jeb and at first we thought it was going to just be a standard harem show with some comedy which was true for the first half of the series but then it takes a hard pivot to VR Escapism because of grief coupled with AI trying to “learn love.” We talked about the intentional time leaps as well as how time passed vs

We jumped into Love Flops at the recommendation of Jeb and at first we thought it was going to just be a standard harem show with some comedy which was true for the first half of the series but then it takes a hard pivot to VR Escapism because of grief coupled with AI trying to “learn love.” We talked about the intentional time leaps as well as how time passed vs how it appeared to have passed, and how each girl basically feels like they used a different “training dataset” for what love might look like.Next Week's Pick: "Angel Beats"Have you had the chance to watch Love Flops or any of our previous selections?

“Am I Actually the Strongest?” follows Haruto, a 30-something shut-in that gets reincarnated with an absurd power that always reads “level 2, no element,” so as a baby he gets ditched in a forest who then is adopted almost immediately. When that happens he decides it is best to hide who he is so that he can  chase the quietest life possible  but instead he becomes the hero of justice. He is forced to keep up appearances to keep his little sister Char from outing him to his parents and he also gets mistaken for being a demon lord as well by demons thanks to his overwhelming aura, he also solves problems with ancient magic where is the limit is literally his imagination, so he makes literal clones, surveillance, and even jury-rigged internet back to his old world. The show leans hard on familiar OP-isekai tropes and comedy, with bits like a giant golem’s sudden confession, but under uses the goddess that plays little more than an info dump. Pacing is lightning fast across just 12 episodes, fun to binge but so q

The Executioner and Her Way of Life is an interesting take on the Isekai genre. And while it starts out like a number of other ones. Where someone is summoned to another world and thus their journey begins. However in this world people are summoned all the time and always from Japan. And that is what truly sets this apart is that they are not summoned to that world for a noble reason and you get to see the side after the effects of that and how that world has changed from the summoning of people to their world . Which made this show great for us. Not only does it take that approach but it also does its own take on magic and time travel. And this one was honestly one that we enjoyed. The character development is solid and the story made us wish that there was a second season.Next Week's Pick: "Am I Actually The Strongest"Have you had the chance to watch The Executioner and Her Way of Life or any of our previous selections?

This week we are talking about Aharen is Indecipherable Season 2. And picks up right where Season 1 leaves off, with Raido and Aharen officially a couple heading into their second year of high school. And it keeps the same slow-burn romance but then things start to open up with new faces and they also give more time to the side characters that also shed some light on Aharen's past. The show mainly stays on point but they started to pick up pace and started to time skip to cap it all off with a major time skip to land an “actual ending”.Next Week's Pick: "The Executioner and Her Way of Life"Have you had the chance to watch Aharen is Indecipherable Season 2 or any of our previous selections?

This week we are talking about Aharen is Indecipherable Season 1 as recommended by Jeb. And it is a show that is certainly a slow burn to say the least. And by that we mean if you go by the 3 episode rule for anime then you will certainly pass this one by as it takes about 5 episodes to really grab you. That is not to say that those first few episodes are not entertaining in their own way, just that they are not enough to grab you so that you watch the whole season. But once you get past that you do find the series enjoyable but even still in the podcast we can’t help but get off track and go off on some tangents mainly because the show while it did have content it just was not very wide or deep. It was all very surface level.Next Week's Pick: "Aharen is Indecipherable Season 2"Have you had the chance to watch Aharen is Indecipherable Season 1 or any of our previous selections?

This week are talking about By the Grave of Gods Season 2 as recommended by Jeb. And this week it was a nice revisit for us and a break for what we have been watching. The show is overall was solid and picked up right where season 1 left off so if you are watching the series all together at the same time. That being said the story was pretty straight forward no surprises or anything like but we did have some questions that we know we will never get answers to but still it was fun to think about. All in all though we found the story solid enough but it was not with out it's flaws but even with that they are not that big and can be over looked.Next Week's Pick: "Aharen is Indecipherable"Have you had the chance to watch By the Grave of Gods Season 2 or any of our previous selections?

This week are talking about Akudama Drive and honestly for us it was not that great of a show. It was not horrible but it also was not great. This anime follows a group of criminals that all literally named after what their crime or specialty is, like Courier, Brawler, Doctor, Hacker. Each character has a unique design and video game-like feel which is not to surprising since one of the creators worked for a game company. But one of the major downsides for us aside from the pacing was how predictable everything was. We also dig into the weird pacing issues, the over-the-top gore that felt gratuitous with the amount of censorship there was as well. Basically it was watchable but forgettable, especially if you're hoping for something engaging.Next Week's Pick: "By The Grace Of Gods Season 2"Have you had the chance to watch Akudama Drive or any of our previous selections?

This week we are talking about Vexations of a Shut-in Vampire Princess which was a recommendation from Shut In Jeb. And it was an interesting choice. The anime overall was enjoyable for both of us. But at the same time there were several questions that we had for most of the show that we watched and it was not something that we could look over. We dive into things that are not fully explained by the anime and it left Jack with a bad taste in his mouth. And for Rick there were somethings that he could not get past. But it is one that we would recommend. All in all this is a show that is still worth a watch.Next Week's Pick: "Akudama Drive"Have you had the chance to watch Vexations of a Shut-in Vampire Princess or any of our previous selections?

This week we are talking about Anime-Gataris which was a recommendation from Major Montana. Was in so many words a love story to the fans of Anime. It hits all the thoughts and lingo that we usually use as well as habits that we use as well when it comes to anime. They in essence called us all out and at the same time broke the 4th wall all to have fun. That being said it was not without it's drawback and they were there for sure. With a shallow story and no real character development this story is purely here for fun and nothing more.Next Week's Pick: "Vexations of a Shut-in Vampire Princess"Have you had the chance to watch Anime-Gataris or any of our previous selections?

This week we are talking about Temple which was a recommendation from Jeb. It was a chaotic ride that also was a fan service heavy show. We dove into Akemitsu’s painful attempts to stay pure while surrounded by anime’s worst temptations, plus the sheer craziness of his dad racking up a 20 million yen debt just so he can try and get a global harem. In the end it was an anime that we laughed at, but because of the chaos we ended rewinding way more than usual just to catch what the hell was happening.Next Week's Pick: "Anime-Gataris" Have you had the chance to watch Temple or any of our previous selections?

This week we dive into Rokudo Bad Girls. The story is about a bullied underdog Rokudo who inherits a magic scroll that makes every bad girl, fall head over heels for him any time he’s near. We go into detail about the show and the bold‑lined animation style, and we compare Roku’s nonstop crying to the energy of Tokyo Revengers, we also wonder whether his shift from pushover to protector ever really sticks. In the end this show only really has surface‑level fun with a dash of character growth, even if our hero stays pretty whiny throughout, so if you’re after something deeper, this probably isn’t the show for you.Next Week's Pick: "Temple" Have you had the chance to watch Rokudo Bad Girl or any of our previous selections?

In this episode we dive headfirst into 86’s brutal drone war nonsense. The Republic claims a “bloodless conflict,” but it’s really run on invisible 86ers shoved into glass-cannon mechs. We chat about Lena’s efforts to bring hope to Shin and his crew, and what this anime reminds us of in terms of undertones that were not so subtle. We also touch on Shin’s psychic telepathy angle and that slow-burn connection between him and Lena. Sure, the pacing stumbles with flashbacks on repeat and a few loose threads never get resolved, but the heart of the story still packs a punch.Next Week's Pick: "Rokudo Bad Girls"Have you had the chance to watch 86 or any of our previous selections?

This week is all about I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time with just Jack. Now the story is something that is pretty solid and it had all the makings of a great show. The story was easy enough to follow and it did focus on what the title exactly is and it really highlights her struggles. But also at the same time there is no real depth to some of it and honestly you are left with far more questions then what you are given answers too leaving you with a open ending. Even with that it is still worth a watch.Next Week's Pick: "Eighty-Six - 86" Have you had the chance to watch I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time or any of our previous selections?

This week is all about Farming Life in Another World. Which was a recommendation. It was a nice change of pace from last weeks choice it had it's funny moments and time where it was entertaining but overall it was a show that was very middling for us.

This week is all about Witch Hunter Robin with just Jack. The story is about a young pyrokinetic witch working for Solomon. For Jack this is trip down memory lane and for him it was honestly best left there. The lack of certain plot point and the plot holes and slow pacing made it a tough rewatch.
