A couple of podcasters called Jack and Rick, get together to give our views and take on anime shows and movies. Sometimes we love the shows or movies that we watch and other times we really do not like them, but regardless of what we watch, we love to get together and talk about it and bring joy to all of our listeners!

Dead Mount Death Play flips the isekai formula on its head, following the reincarnated villain instead of the hero, and Jack and Rick spend most of this one arguing over exactly how that transfer actually works. Genres: Action, Fantasy, Supernatural Studio: Geek Toys Source: Manga Rick's Score: 5/10 Jack's Score: 5/10 Verdict: A middling watch with good animation and a genuinely interesting hook,…
Scarlet drops a Hamlet retelling into 16th century Denmark and the afterlife at once, and Jack and Rick spend the whole episode arguing about how well it actually pulls that off.

A guy gets handed a cursed country house, accidentally scrubs it clean writing a grocery list, and the local gods start moving in like it's the world's chillest Airbnb. This week's anime is all about the quiet charm of the Japanese countryside, and honestly Sakuraco captures that same feeling in a box. Every month it's a new region, real local makers, and treats you won't find on a convenience…
A legendary 39-year-old hitman gets stung by a mysterious wasp and wakes up as a 13-year-old middle schooler, and somehow that turns into one of the more heartfelt surprises of the season. Genres: Action, Comedy Studio: Cue Source: Manga Jack's Score: 7/10 Rick's Score: 8/10 Verdict: It's cliché on paper, but the comedy and heart land often enough to make it worth the watch.

Rick's out this week, so Jack goes solo to break down season three of The Irregular at Magic High School, and he's got a lot to say about clans, politics, and a show that keeps raising questions it has no interest in answering.

Season one spent a whole run building out the Ten Master Clans and a genuinely interesting magic system, so what happens when season two seems to forget almost all of it? Genres: Action, Magic, Romance, School, Sci-Fi, Supernatural Studio: 8-bit Source: Light Novel Jack's Score: 2/10 Rick's Score: 3/10 Verdict: A strong premise gets buried under harem tropes, convoluted lore dumps, and questions…
Magic got rewired into hard science, a class system sorts kids by test scores, and one supposedly underpowered "weed" might be hiding more strength than the entire school combined.

Rooster Fighter Review - FAP-392 A backyard rooster channels the spirit of a wandering samurai and somehow turns into one of the most entertaining kaiju shows we've watched all year. Genres: Action, Comedy, Parody Studio: Sanzigen Source: Manga Jack's Score: 9/10 Rick's Score: 9/10 Verdict: Ridiculous on the surface, genuinely well written underneath, and worth the full 12-episode run. Timestamps:…
