Episode 20 – Who's Your Favorite Matsu?
This week Evan and Victoria talk about Young Black Jack's shirtless, patchwork body, the terrifying harem in Oreshura, online anime petitions, and the ongoing debate over who is Best Matsu. Plus answers to your questions, including our favorite villains and whether or not it's OK to call anime "cartoons."
Show Notes
- Bubuki Branki has a really silly name, but Evan's still interested in it since it's the 10th anniversary project from CG studio Sanzigen (Arpeggio, Wooser)
- Oh no! Animator Expo Season 2 is expiring November 23, but Season 1 is available for a limited time before that.
- Unfortunately the production committee in Japan has asked streaming sites (including Crunchyroll) to take down the parody-heavy first episode of Mr. Osomatsu. Victoria's been catching up to determine her favorite of the -matsu sextuplets.
- Evan's a big original Black Jack fan, so he's been a little disappointed by Young Black Jack, but it's hilarious how much of a pretty-boy Black Jack is.
- He's also watching and reviewing Noragami Aragoto, which started off with a really cool new arc.
- Here's Victoria's Change.org petition to get Evan to watch Toradora.
- Victoria is rewatching the odd, kind of scary-sounding harem series Oreshura.
- Here's JMZP's awesome fanart of Victoria and Evan!
