The shiny brand new anime CHAINSAW MAN has been on a PR wave since it was announced. Now it's finally here and it's even more chainsaw-ier than we thought. We delved into the first 3 episodes of this chaotic romp of a show and have MANY questions: Was it as good as all the hype? What the hell us up with the theme song? How did 20 minutes of TV get me to adore a chainsaw faced dog more than I do my own dog? Are we sticking with it, or dropping it after 3 eps? Tune in to find out!

I ATTACK THE MOON!! We take a retrospective look at the first ever season of the proper YuGiOh anime english dub. In the iconic first season, Yugi and his FRIENDS teach us a lesson about FRIENDSHIP with virtual ANIMAL VIOLENCE or something idk. Often criticized for playing the card game wrong, we use our time magic to take a deeper look at Duelist Kingdom and examine if in fact it does hold up to this day, Yugi boy.

Here comes that man. This episode we watch Banderas and Hayek smolder and we might not need to ask the question. "Desperado" f*cking rules.

Would you watch 110 eps of it!? THIS acclaimed anime OVA series ran from 1988 to 1997, that is 9 years of content...so it must be pretty damn good right? Maybe? Join us in hyperspace for this whacky (and definitely not hungover) 3 Episode Rule.

The INFAMOUS Garzey's Wing OVA series came out in 1996, and has since been regarded as a complete miss by anyone with a brain. But... do we have brains? Come along with us to watch this incredible travesty of an anime production and decide with us! Is it actually bad? Or is everyone just overreacting?

Video High once again puts its ear to the door of the future to listen to what cinema is coyly whispering about the year 2023. We see it all: what has passed, what's to come, and what may yet shall be. The only thing we don't see is texts from each other to make sure we don't all cover the same movie. But our resolution this year is to try to be attentive, B-E attentive. The class discusses movies set in the year 2023, such as BRING IT ON: CHEER OR DIE (2022) and [redacted] and etc etc.

Since Hana No Asuka Gumi 1 performed so horribly, we decided to do THE SEQUEL!! In the follow up to the shitty, unfinished and previously lost predecessor, Hana No 2 puts us in the streets of Tokyo with more girl gangs, a different story and less dropped frames of animation (woohoo!). Did this improve upon the original? Or should we abandon Asuka forever?

We pulled a gift from the video store shelves, because this Christmas we're unwrapping ELVES (1989)! When a young woman summons a killer elf from the grass; An ex-detective mall Santa helps her kick Nazi ass. Given three ideas and a week for the script; Writer/director Jeffrey Mandel pulled it together fast as St. Nick! Plus the class has questions about elf folklore; Luckily Greg may have some answers in store.

For NO REASON we got an anime sequel to the 2009 live action series, Kamen Rider We have no idea why this happened or who LET it happen, but we were more than happy to watch the absolute hell out of it. One of us mayyyy be able to spill the beans on Kamen Rider and everything a normal viewer couldn't necessarily pick up... but like is it worth the watch??

KING SHIT! We tackled the first 3 episodes of the widely popular Ranking of Kings, which premiered in October of 2021. Let's talk about Boji, Kage and Daida and Hiling's dick nose (which unfortunately seems like a dominant family trait). Btw, we spend a lot of the ep calling Hiling the wrong name, so tune in to see how wrong we were.

Even if the title makes it a little obvious, it's still possible to get lost in L.A. BOUNTY (1989). Written and produced by star Sybil Danning, she cast herself as Ruger: a monosyllabic ex-cop turned possible bounty hunter following the trail of a kidnapped mayoral candidate. But let's face it, we're all here for the main attraction - Wings Hauser! - who delivers a trademark enigmatic villain performance that has the class asking themselves whether Heath Ledger deserves his posthumous Oscar. Was that a good one, God?

This 1975 manga turned 1991 OVA turned Live Action movie is SUKEBAN DEKA! Another edition of our #GirlGang anime binge, this OVA takes us to a world of crime in Japan, flanked by a single good voice actor and some wicked fight scenes. But is that enough to consider it good? Let's find out! Leave a comment/review or message us at badanimepod@gmail.com or DM us on insta @badanimepod to have your lovely words read out on the show!

GOIN’ OUT WITH A BANG! We’re finishing off Anno month with an anime that Hideaki Anno created (Fancy that!?) but this one came BEFORE Evangelion! We’ll dive in to some details, comparisons and ultimately decide if this anime is bad.

Tryptofanatics - third time's a charm! We again gather 'round the Thanksgiving table yet again with our favorite dinner guest CHLOE MEDGHALCHI to hold hands and thank the B-movie Gods that we have one more turkey to watch. HOME SWEET HOME (1981) pits a large, annoying family of indeterminate relation against a knife-wielding (but never using) killer who may be actually be doing them a favor by bumping them off. So grab some beer, some valium, and pass the PCP!

WHAT’S ON SHINJI’S HAND!? Anno month continues with End of Evangelion, the follow up movie to the critically acclaimed Neon Genesis Evangelion that has ACTUAL PLOT PAYOFF…kinda. Let’s chat about it!

The class sashays down the runway with MODEL BY DAY (1994)! In this failed TV pilot based on a based graphic novel from the aptly named Rip Off Press, Famke Janssen stars as Lex. She's the world's best supermodel by day, but when her roommate is injured in a carjacking she must become the vigilante Lady X to avenge her roommate's...uh, eyeball we guess?

I HATED IT! 5 STARS! It’s the first week of Hideaki Anno month and we’re of course kicking it off with Neon Genesis Evangelion. We’ll discuss everything Evangelion from a first time watch perspective and a rewatch perspective, and decide if this old school masterwork holds up today. Now SING: Shinji’s Mom has got it going on, she’s all Gendo wants and he’s waited for so long. Shinji can’t you see you’re just not the pilot for me, I know it might be wrong but I’m in love with Shinji’s Mom.

It's a spoof on ye ol Power Rangers and it came out in the Spring anime season of 2022! Yes we're talking about Love After World Domination. The main story here is basically: what if the red ranger wanted boink the main villain? Of course, hilarity ensues, but is it watchable? If you watched or haven't, come decide with us if it's good or BAD.

Hey all. Casey here. I want you to know that while I wrote HOLLOW GATE (1988) in the show title, the movie's opening credits clearly read "Hollowgate." Everyone else on the internet calls it Hollow Gate, and I don't understand why we're all perpetuating this farce. Either way, it's about a mentally ill middle-aged teenager named Mark who goes off his meds and kills people. Seemingly triggered by it being any Halloween in his life, this nutcake slashes out with a variety of kooky methods and rachel slurs. This is a Pepin-Mehri masterpiece before PM Entertainment. So it was AM Entertainment. Thank you. Goodnight.
