Warui Deshou: An Anime Podcast

Hello, friends, and welcome to Warui Deshou's Holiday/Year-End Special! I already wrote this description once, and 2021 hates me so much that it disappeared my write-up for no reason whatsoever. That being the case, this description will be even more low-effort than usual, which is saying something. In this here podcast, Shadon and Doc discuss all their favorite anime, video games, podcasts, YouTubers, John Woo movies, and Stephen King novels they've experienced in this bloody endless year. Not one single once of prep was done by either host before the pod. Listen at your own risk. Enjoying this podcast?

WHAT'S UP DANGER? Hey gang, it's our maiden voyage into the great big ocean of Non-Anime Podcast Episodes! ICYMI, we are going to be doing two pods a month, one anime and one non. For this month's non, Shadon has chosen a pair of exemplary superhero animated films. We know these movies have a ton of big fans, so we hope we've done them justice in our (lengthy) discussion! First, we detail our histories with these characters across various forms of media. Then, we talk about each film separately, why we like each so much and we we think each does really well. Next, we compare the two in terms of their tone, goals, accessibility, stand-alone-ness, core themes, and how well each film presents the essence of its protagonist. Finally, we answer some very good questions put to us by our Discord group. Please enjoy! Enjoying this podcast? Tip us a coffee on Ko-fi! | https://ko-fi.com/waruideshou   Music: Kakero!

Welcome back, friends, to Warui Deshou! This episode, Shadon & The Subtle Doctor review and discuss the rather bonkers 2016 anime Drifters.  As usual, opinions are divided on the show. Doc is full of praise for its interesting concept, generally fun tone, and its humor. Shadon found it a boring exercise in propaganda. Despite their differing takes, the boys have a lot of fun discussing all of the above and so much more on Drifters. We hope you enjoy! Hearts to Yoichi! <3 There are a number of content warning for Drifters. We'd advise those inclined to listen to our discussion of those before jumping into the series.  Enjoying this podcast?

Doc  and Shads call for transport on a journey that has already been near  universally lauded by anime critics and find themselves in agreement!  What starts as an intriguing mystery story quickly turns into parasocial  relationship commentary and examinations of how we place value on  ourselves and others, and it's like, really bloody good!

I SAY I SAY I SAY I SAY No, this is not the first anime to star washed up cartoon rooster Foghorn Leghorn, this is the pan-dimensional survival series Sonny Boy from Madhouse! And this is Stream of Thought, where we will try and make sense out of this puzzle of a show for your amusement and edutainment! Join Doc and a very sunburnt Shads as they tackle the first three episodes of this intriguing work and discuss topics such as it's against the grain approach towards the typical execution of isolated group survival stories, can we prevent falling back into old, flawed societal structures, the presence of an evil Joestar, how silence can be as powerful as an actual score, how order is not necessarily better than chaos, a kid inventing his own cryptocurrency and more!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of suicide, bullying, rape, false rape accusations, depression, isolation, etc. A lot can happen in 3 months. Or perhaps very little at all.

If you've watched the actual episode itself, I'm so, so sorry. Patron questions are also answered and brain cells die en masse trying to figure out the why and how of this twenty car pile up of a bonus episode.

Join Shads (and not The Subtle Doctor) as he rounds out the  Vivy discussion with Episodes 12 & 13 and begs to know why sci-fi  anime refuse to stick the landing. Covered in this 45 minute rant  include topics such as the post credits scene with Short Hair Vivy, the  weak textual support for the Archive's motivation, Elizabeth's  perfunctory inclusion in the closing episodes, technological  conservatism and the one good bit where Vivy gets to sing to conclude  her journey.  Support Warui Deshou: https://www.patreon.com/waruideshou Music Credits: Terminator 2 Theme - Brad Fiedel Silent Hacker - Walkure Calicomp 1.1 Shutdown - VA-11 HALL-A OST by Michael Kelly --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/waruideshou/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/waruideshou/support

Join Shads (and not The Subtle Doctor because he had the audacity to be a  loving father and family man seriously dude wtf) as he talks shop about  Episodes 9 thru. 11 and why we tell stories about AI. He also covers  the fight between Matsumoto and Antonio and why it finally delivers on a  more inventive form of AI vs AI combat, dignity and the lack thereof  when it comes to AI, why Episode 11 is deeply worrisome and may be a  sign the show is falling apart, and also the fact that Vivy got shot in  the boob. Yes. That happened.
