Otaku Host Club (Geoffrey, Amelia, Dan)

Over sexualization of female anime characters in anime. There are so many facets to this conversation but one interesting question was brought up in our discord and we decided to at least attempt to dissect it in an episode featuring a very good friend of the pod, Kristella! We're basing this conversation around a "viral" tweet and the upset surrounding one of the anime community's most precious onee-san Nezuko in the recent episode of Demon Slayer. We're no stranger to tackling hard subjects on our pod but we hope this episode creates the conversation for others. Join us in this week's episode at https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub

In this episode, we sat down with Kali from Myth Adventures, an anime and gaming store in McAllen Texas! We met Kali and her grandfather Helgi at A-Kon this year as they were our neighbors in the vendors' hall. Helgi has been running his business for over 30 years! And while it wasn't always an anime store, we wanted to know the behind-the-scenes of what it takes to run a successful anime business in the age of anime and nerd fandom becoming mainstream. How many family members does it take? Are conventions worth it? Is there competition? Do they have to wait for pre-orders as well? All of these questions and more will be answered! And be sure to check out Myth Adventures, the oldest comic and gaming shop in the Rio Grande Valley, and tell Kali we sent you!

Remember when Geoff asked me and Dan if there was going to be a training arc?? Well, guess what guys! We were totally wrong! However, we do have to hand it to MAPPA because this isn't your usual shounen training arc with long days in the fields without lunch all just to jingle Kakashi's jingle balls. Instead, we get a Chainsaw Man death grip bear hug, lots and lots of dying, and a sneak attack that ends up almost the same as the first day of training and we are totally here for it.

Now if we could only know what the Future Devil has in store for Aki...

We're finally back from A-Kon!! lol Just Kidding! So we made our middle-school-meet-your-online-friends-in-real-life dream come true by flying out to Dallas, Texas to hang out with a bunch of friends, listeners of the show, fellow podcasters, and new people that we met along the way. And of course, Kristella is on this episode since not only was this her first A-Kon but also her first convention! So sit back, relax and let us take you on our journey through the oldest convention in the country.

We’re back this week to talk about a pretty unique film that was created almost single handedly by Kenji Iwaisawa called On Gaku Our Sound. This isn’t just your run of the mill anime movie about a delinquent guy who looks like Saitama and wants to start a band. No, this is very stylized story telling mixed with vibrant sound design and animation sequences that pop out of the screen. This film is definitely something anyone who has gotten into any kind of music can relate to and rang pretty true to Geoff and Dan who have been in numerous bands of their own. We also talk a bit about what anime we’re excited for in the coming months, try to plan stuff on air by accident, and uh well both Geoff and Amelia’s power decided to give out at the very end of the episode but we managed to salvage it.

We’re back on the creator spotlight game and this time we’re taking a look at the work of Yoshitoshi ABe (no this is not a typo) and reviewing his original work Haibane Renmei. You might be familiar with ABe’s work as the character designer on classics like Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze, and Welcome to the NHK to name a few and in this episode we’re going to dive into just how prolific this artist is and how symbolism plays a huge factor in the experience that is Haibane Remmei.

It seems like these last few episodes have been setting up for some rumblings.. or have they? Hopefully! Because we only have four more episodes to go before ‘the end’ of Attack on Titan and a whole lot of nothing and some explosive things went down on Paradis… Eren explosively glowing up into a fine ass man. We might be meandering in this episode but when your source also meanders it’s hard not to take a cue. How many scout regimen does it take to from a coup? Find out in this episode of the Road to Paradise where we’re discussing episode 71 or “Guides.” Check us out here every Wednesday, on our website www.otakuhostclub.com  in our discord https://discord.gg/8azF2VHAhC  and on instagram @otakuhostclub.

As the year comes to a close, we have one last hurrah with yet another Netflix-series review! No one was holding a gun to our head, but we could't resist reviewing this highly capable series from Studio Wit. We could have ended on a better note but Freddie does this one justice and we have no regrets. If you have a thing for big heist movies and a soft spot for classics like Lupin III, then your'e not gonna want to miss this! We also address the merger of Sony with Crunchyroll that will ultimately change the anime industry as we know it.

If you hated Kobeni in last week's episode you're really gonna hate her in this one. Our devil hunter crew is still stuck on the 8th floor of the hotel labyrinth and we will soon learn that Kobeni is the last person you’d ever want to be stuck in a time loop with. I mean who'd ever trust someone who was forced by your mother to choose between being a devil hunter or a sex worker? Anyway, the crew finds they’ve exhausted all their options with the exception of Power whose mind is left to wander, coming up with wild ambitions to raise the sale tax to 100%. Flashback to Aki and Himeno’s early partner days, life before Denji and Power. We are treated to a comical bonding moment and character development for our new cast member. Just when things were getting boring the devil we thought died evolves into a larger, grotesque Berserk-like creature that makes matters worse for the crew. The devil wants to make a contract that would sacrifice Denji's life for the others' safe exit. Aki and Himeno decide not to kill Denji and they wait for alternatives but Kobeni has other ideas and completely loses her shit. Feeding off their fear the Devil grows and things start spinning out of control, forcing them to run for it. Kobeni makes one last-ditch effort to kill Denji but strikes Aki instead. We are left on a huge cliffhanger with Denji stepping up to the plate. https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub if you would like these episodes early head on over to our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/otakuhostclub and give Kobeni a backbone.

Do opposites really attrack? This "paradox" is tested when two women named Nana meet serendipitously on a train to Tokyo.

!! LISTENER REQUEST EPISODE !!
Big thanks to Knucklehead in our Discord for suggesting this episode format!

In this new type of episode, we’re going to watch two episodes of a random anime neither of us has seen—without subtitles—and give our predictions about what the series is about. Then, we’ll watch the same two episodes again with subtitles and see how far off our predictions were! This was a really cool exercise in using context clues and paying attention to what’s being portrayed on screen, rather than relying on the subtitles to tell us what’s going on. We really enjoyed recording this type of episode, so we asked if you’d like us to do more episodes like this. But to be honest, we loved it so much that we’re doing it again anyway, haha. We hope you enjoy!!

When you have as collab episodes in a row as we did sometimes you just want a break from watching anime. What happens when we let Dan run free and topics go where ever the wind takes us? Trying to make us not sound lazy sure is a lot of work...We just wanted to sit down have a normal conversation, like we usually do. We talk about what we're watching, some anime news, and Otakon now that conventions are at the horizon line again.

In this episode we find out a bit more about Power and her motivations for taking a union job but in turn more questions are raised than answered and the mysteriocity continues. Denji's motives remain clear as a 16 year old boy's motives could be... we're talking about boobs... there's a lot of boob talk in this episode. And also a lot of smack talk toward our single minded MC but Makima stays true to her shady disposition toward Denji giving him some praise to the mysterious panel of executives. There's a lot of mystery going on here...

It's hard to ignore the current social and political climate of the last 5 months. On September 5th, Toonami released a promo about black lives matter and we couldn't help but take notice. So we invited fellow artist and otaku CJ on to discuss it at length. Plus we have a full review of Fire Force: Season 1! Toonami - 21:00 Fire Force Season 1 - 1:16:30

We love anime theme music over here at OHC, so we had to bring you our newest panel idea, 50 Years of Anime Theme Music. We're covering anime OPs throughout history and the popular music of that era to compare just how iconic anime theme music is to popular culture, as well as its relevance in finding its way into a full-fledged medium; eventually making a name for itself in the Japanese music industry. We also will have the survey results we published for listeners of what anime theme songs we thought would best represent that decade and we'll share the results with you at the end of the episode!

The past couple of months have been anxiety ridden to say the least. The election is “over” with ballads still being counted in multiple states; meanwhile Trump refuses to concede his presidency. With all the pent up emotions and tension over the last few months, it's enough to make one want to explode! But thanks to Sanrio and Netflix, we have a perfect remedy for such aliments. That's right folks, Aggretsuko is here to save the day from the toxic-misogynist still holding up camp in the White House; along with our good friends Sean and Jody, we tackle the deep underlying themes that Netflix's Aggretsuko have to offer.  News - 11:20 Review - 26:40 JOIN THE DISCUSSION ON - https://discord.gg/zFDHTk5t WEBSITE - https://www.otakuhostclub.com/ Leave us a message!

Introducing a new segment here at OHC, Amelia's Anime Hour!! I wanted to bring you some bonus content to listen to because we just couldn't seem to fit it into our normal episodes and I really wanted to talk about it! Let me know if you guys enjoy this kind of thing and what other things you'd like me to cover!

I thought this was a fitting movie to review for my first solocast since it is the very first movie I've ever gone to see alone! I know that sounds kinda crazy but I'm not mad at it! The film was an excellent addition to the franchise and so so entertaining. Mappa did not hold any budget back for this film and it shows. It's so beautiful I'm not even sure if my eyes could see such hi-def!  I won't spoil the rest of my review so I hope you'll give it a listen!

SASAGEYO!! We're back this week to talk about episodes 83 "Pride" and 84 "Night of the End." We had some technical issues recording this one but hopefully, it sounds seamless to you guys! SO Levi wasn't dead and while he might be missing a few of his parts he's still down to take out Zeke. Too bad Zeke is the least of everyone's worries now with The Rumbling actually leaving the island. Or is he?? Only manga readers know the answer to that one... and after Connie's villain arc that actually kind of brought everyone closer together, Jean decided it was time to give Reiner a swift kick back to reality. Once the Avenger's team has assembled they take to the woods to have a kumbayah moment before deciding to call a somewhat truce so they can deal with the real villain.

SASAGEYO!! After such a stellar action-packed episode last week, it's only natural to come down from that high with an exposition-heavy episode. And you had better be paying attention to all the callbacks to the previous episode because we're taking a walk down memory lane through Greisha's memories to reveal a bunch of stuff about the past.

There hasn't been a force as recognizable in the anime industry in the last ten years as studio Trigger. They have made a name for themselves for being groundbreaking visionaries of such classics as Gurren Laggan, Kill La Kill, and their most recent theatrical movie, Promare. But none of this would have been possible without the leading auteur Hiroyuki Imaishi. After Dan's failed attempt to ask Mr. Imaishi a question at an Otakon panel, way back in 2019, we decided to take a step back to revisit his directorial debut, Dead Leaves. Join us as we look at this 2005 classic that might have escaped your radar. Review starts at 38:40. https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub

Amelia gave everyone some homework of three potential moe shows and we break them down as to why or why not we think they are moe. Find out if Dan has learned to find the inner moe in his heart.

“Girls with guns” has been a growing subgenre staple in anime ever since, well, the birth of anime. In the 80s we had series like Dirty Pair and Bubblegum Crisis, the 90s brought us Gunsmith Cats and Kite, and in the 00s there was Black Lagoon and Gunslinger Girl. Bringing us to present day with series like Sword Art Online Alternative, Otherside Picnic, High-Rise Invasion and countless other series that might not revolve around girls with guns, but they do have at least one girl with a gun. This last season of anime brought us another great series to add to that list with Lycoris Recoil and made us want to explore the sub genre as a whole. This anime original series about orphaned girls turned trained assassins enlisted to keep this futuristic eutopic Tokyo, safe from any kind of threat is a stellar addition to the genre while building on the tropes that make this subgenre so iconic. We talk about the humble beginnings of Girls with Guns, what made them so impactful to the community and why Lycoris Recoil deserves to stand with it's peers.  https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub Don't forget to check out our weekly Chainsaw Man Series as well!

It's been almost a year since we saw Trigger premiere Promare at Otakon 2019, along with a sneak-peek of BNA: Brand New Animal; and with great anticipation, it's now on Netflix! You might even notice a trend on our podcast, don't worry we are not affiliated with Netflix in any shape or form. Even with some disdain from some of us, Netflix is pumping out some pretty great content and this is no exception. From Baki to Dorohedoro, from Beastars to BNA; we are continuously being surprised. This week we break down BNA and compare it to other Trigger's work we know and love. JOIN THE DISCUSSION ON - https://discord.gg/Ac5Gfr9 WEBSITE - https://www.otakuhostclub.com/ Leave us a message!

SASAGEYO!! We're back this week to talk about episode 85 "Traitor." With three episodes left until the end of the season, we're not sure why they are spending time on some things and not spending time on others. LOTS of anime logic and LOTS of coincidental happenstances leading up to this episode. And all we're saying is everybody keeps an eye on Gabi... she's known to go off rails and take matters into her own hands, and while she has some redeeming qualities, you never know. Also, Mappa really playing up the "memeability" of these faces! We could not stop looking a Daz and his crazy eyes!

We don’t really subscribe to the seasonal anime grind but when a show gets talked about this much we’ve gotta see for ourselves what all the hype is about. Vivy Fluorite Eye’s Song was all we were hearing about, the new original anime by Wit Studio, written by Re:Zero and Chaos;Head creators, you can’t help but wonder what these two teaming up might produce. There’s a reason why we picked it but we weren’t expecting what we found.. Find out in this episode of the Otaku Host Club podcast!

Squid Game has taken the world by storm being the number one show on Netflix pretty consistently for the past few months and we put it to the test against the anime version Kaiji Ultimate Survivor. Since Kaiji is one of Dan's favorite anime, and Amelia loves horror/ death game shows we thought what a great idea. We watched two shows for this one and boy I think we might be anime'd out! (Jump to 40:00 mark for our discussion).

This week we're breaking down the first works of creator Kinoko Nasu, the creator behind the Fate series. While we haven't delved into the Fate series yet we did want to experience everything the GoS has to offer... and boy does it have a lot. So much that we needed help from Alex over at the Anibuddies podcast to answer all of our burning questions. All of us have varying levels of progress through this series and each of the 10 movies ranges from 1 to 2 hours in length. But we'll break down the universe, timelines, and how to watch this fascinating series. The topic of Discussion: 42:53 https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub

This week we bring you a Studio Trigger Spotlight! It is their 10-year anniversary this year and they've got a bunch of stuff going on at conventions around the country, project announcements, and live drawings, so we thought we'd also celebrate here on OHC! And of course, it gives Dan an excuse to gush about how much he loves Trigger. So we thought we'd compare and contrast some of Trigger's high-octane action shows like Promare and Kill la Kill to some of their softer-moe shows like Space Patrol Luluco and Little Witch Academia.

Can you believe it’s been two years since we began our little podcast way back in 2020, during the world's reckoning with the pandemic? So many anime podcasts were born out of the national-wide lockdowns, including us. A lot has happened since then: we helped create a small anime community, made new friends along the way, watched some questionable series like Kiss x Sis, and hosted our very first anime panel at Otakon. But none of it would be worth it without listeners like you. So, what we want you to do is ask us questions you always wanted to know, no matter how ridiculous or serious they may be, anime-related or not. We also want you to tell us what your favorite opening theme songs are, you know the ones that never get old, even on repeat. Send your questions and theme songs to theohcpodcast@gmail.com or find us on your favorite social media site. Links available in the description!

At The Otaku Host Club Podcast, we love spreading the good gospel of Kuzu no Honkai (Scum’s Wish). So, we invited our good friends over at The Strictly Series to experience the beautiful trainwreck of high school angst that is Scum’s Wish.

This show doesn’t hold back—forget hand-holding and innocent kisses. We’re diving straight into student-teacher relationships and tangled yuri love affairs. Buckle up, because it’s going to be a wild ride.

Huge thanks to The Strictly Series for letting us spice up their anime library!

This episode was jam packed with action! And in true Attack on Titan fashion we’re jumping from one storyline to another, i hope you can keep up! The tides of the war might have been turned in Paradis’s favor but we won’t find out until next episode… because yes, this epic battle still isn’t finished yet!

SASAGEYO!! Annie's back, Levi's back, we're all back this week to talk about episode 82 or Sunset. The dust is settling on Paradis and the tension are high as to what the future may hold. When you realize Eren might actually kill the whole world out side of Paradis your world suddenly come crashing down.. like Annie out of the chrysalis! OHHHHHH! We still don't know what exactly Annie knows or what her intentions are but we're glad at least a few of our questions got answered.

We’re back and with friends! In this bonus free-for-all episode, we’ll be discussing what we did on break, a mini-review of Katsucon, and some upcoming changes to the podcast. Stay tuned!

Before there was One Room and Marukra no Danshi, there were these things called VHS tapes that played movies and you could go to a store that had a ton to choose from and you would pay them money to borrow it for a short period of time. We know a lot of you probably know what a VHS is but most of you have probably forgotten about this 90s OVA classic, Video Girl Ai. Imagine if that tape you just rented had a girl who could cheer you up when you were feeling lonely, but your VHS player was on the fritz and the girl came out of the TV and accidentally fell in love with you. Now that, my friends, is what we call a great time. And what better way to share this classic sci-fi rom-com with our friends over at Strictly Anime, Courtney, and Karl! We love showing people what anime can do, especially in the form of classic OVA series.. apparently.

It’s hard to ignore the significant changes happening at the White House, and as some of you might already know, Dan is a federal employee. His unique perspective has certainly influenced both his opinions and his personal life. To help break everything down, we’ve brought in Matt and Earthworm from the Anime Brothers Podcast. This is Dan’s chance to really speak his truth.

In addition, we’ve put together a list of governments depicted in anime (01:07:55). With the times as they are, it feels like the perfect opportunity to dive into some thought-provoking topics!

This is the official Katsucon convention report! Dan is off in Puerto Rico doing fun stuff so Amelia and Geoff are recapping their convention experiences and if you couldn't attend the panel we have it tacked on to the end of the episode! But bare with the audio because we forgot the little adapter thingy that lets us pull audio directly but it definetly feels like you're in the room with us!

Thank you guys if you just started listening by hearing our panel and you definetly get more of Geoff and Amelia in the episode 😉

In recent years there has been a surge in rebooting older classic anime. Whether it's a full-on proper re-adaptation like Fruits Basket, or a newly reimagined version like Devilman Crybaby. We as fans of these series get a chance to re-live the magic over again while opening a new audience's eye to the beauty of older works and Urusei Yatsura might be the icing on the cake (well... if they could get Berserk right that would probably be the icing on the cake, but Urusei Yatsura would be the ice cream served with it.) For new fans Urusei Yatsura is a gag manga written by Rumiko Takahashi, famous for Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha, that follows a horny lecherous teen as he has to save the world from an invading cute alien girl that prances around in tiger stripe bikini, only for that "alien" to interfere with his love life and prevent him from ever experiencing true love.. or just fondling any of the girls in the show. For older fans, we know how much influence this work had on anime as we know it today. Lum Invader was the first "waifu" that people had actual feelings for.. so many feelings that they would write into anime magazines with their distaste with fan art of Lum in lewder riskier themes. She was the first character we saw with this "moe" idea, keeping her pure and innocent, never letting the gags go too far. With the pedigree of UY and the major influences it has on the medium — as well as pretty much every other Takahashi work, we were super excited to see this long-lost, iconic series get a revamp and hopefully bring this series some attention it deserves.  - - Review starts at 25:00 https://linktr.ee/otakuhostclub

There was so much we didn't get into in the first episode of Made in Abyss we recorded and with the conclusion of the season we thought it was a great time to get it all out there! I mean, we didn't even talk about the soundtrack! Season two has so much to unpack from the lore of the abyss to the original group of adventures and what actually lies at the bottom of the abyss for our main crew. We haven't seen a show this thematically dense in a long time and we can't get enough. https://linktr.ee/otakuhostclub

The saga of Gabi hatred continues in a Gabi heavy episode this week. We were down a man but not in our hearts… Geoff took this week off for some R&R but Dan and Amelia powered through. What was this episode about and what was it’s purpose? Let’s take an airboat ride in the sky and discover new lands, or just how much Gabi sucks. Have we mentioned how much Gabi sucks?

Aschente! This episode rounds out our Host Pick content with one of Amelia's favorite anime No Game No Life. I mean the guys made her watch two mecha shows IN A ROW so she had to stun 'em with one of the most noted fan service anime. Don't be fooled by bumbling breasts or shower scenes, on the surface this might look like an over exposed kaleidoscope but if you give it a chance there is some really great world building, unbreakable sibling bonds (don't read too much into that) and a plethora otaku references! We also review Earwig and the Witch, the newest Studio Ghibli film by baby Miyazaki himself. Is it good? Bad?

Amelia has been wanting to do this episode basically since the inception of the podcast and the time has finally come. Lucky for you we turned it into a whole month of dedicated Moe discussions! 

To consume Moe one must first understand the origins of the word itself and the characters and series that make this style of animation what it has evolved into today. First, we break down the word and then we talk about the character that started it all. Then we get into themes and tropes of the style and talk a bit about our experiences with Moe anime. And then we break down what Moe means to us. Then we dive into the question: Is it Moe? Or is it just cute girls doing cute things? Moe as a style is so broad and is pretty subjective. What one person might think is really cute and another person you might find totally annoying. So is it actually Moe? 

We posted a link in our discord chat channel #podcast-episodes (link below) of a list of a lot of the Moe anime we talked about in the episode and where to find them on which streaming platforms, so if we piqued your interest in the style consider checking some of them out! and we would love to hear from you, Which series do you think are Moe and which are just cute girls doing cute things? Or is there even a difference?

The whole gang is back in this action packed episode of Attack on Titan and Amelia could not be happier! We start out the episode with those missing manga scenes that Dan was talking about and things escalate pretty quickly after. Eren goes on a rampage and those pesky little island devils make it to the main land for backup and of course we finally get to see who pilot's War Hammer Titan.  Find out in this episode of our Road to Paradise, your weekly Attack on Titan season four discussion.

But don't fret she survived to tell the tail of Mobile Suit Iron Blooded Orphans; her first Gundam experience ever!

2020 was a very memorable year to say the least. It was a great year for anime and an awful year for public health. We came out the gate strong with shows like Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! and ended with shows like Jujutsu Kaisen; a strong contender for best new shonen anime. With so much content available on multiple streaming-services, like Netflix and CrunchRoll, it was just damn right hard to keep track of anything. But don't worry, we've gotchu covered in our Best of 2020 episode! If your backlog wasn't full enough, hears a couple more.  - Our website is www.otakuhostclub.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/8azF2VHAhC - Instagram @otakuhostclub

This rainbow does have an end, but it’s not COVID, instead, it came in the form of cosplayers, merch-tables, gaming, and panel discussions. The latter being our ticket into what would have been a hundred-dollar membership to attend one of the east coast's biggest anime conventions, Otakon! We decided to choose a past episodes theme of iconic anime characters and with that, we had ourselves a winner! We recorded our panel for those who couldn't be there, so, please enjoy!  Catch us in between episodes on our discord https://discord.gg/Ac5Gfr9 on Instagram @otakuhostclub or our website www.otakuhostclub.com

Do you remember the good old days of renting VHS tapes from Blockbuster, spending 30 minutes just to decide blindly what anime was worth that rental fee or did your appetite far succeed the cost of late fees? Did you happen upon titles like Akira, Macross II, Plastic Little, or perhaps Patlbor? Those days are long and gone but the nostalgia remains largely intact and for good reason. Join us as we take a trip down memory lane to revisit this classic 80's mech show that defined an era!

CLAMP is a renowned manga creator that has influenced an entire generation of fans and artists alike. One of their standout works is *Rayearth*, which is set to be rebooted next year. Does it still hold up after 30 years? Listen to find out!

*WARNING: MAY CAUSE NAUSEA* In this episode, we pick up right where we left off, in the belly of the Eternity Devil. After three whole days Denji finally slays that heart and gets him and his comrades, and Arai and Kobeni, out of the hotel. Cut to a work social gathering for all their hard work where we get to see the rowdier side of the group and Himeno completely unhinged. https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub If you would like these episodes early head on over to our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/otakuhostclub

This week Dan is back in Baltimore and it (just) happened to coincide with the theatrical release of the final installment of the Evangelion Rebuild movie series..it actually didn't he flew back early just for this. We had planned on doing a full series dive into the Rebuild movies as a whole (but) as we found out that was not going to happen at 8pm on a Sunday night after a full 2.5 hour movie and dinner. So here are our (first) impressions of the Thrice Upon a Time and a little bit of our burning Rebuild questions which Dan is (not) an expert in. And look forward to a full dive into all the movies in a future episode! *SPOILER WARNING* See what we (did) there... https://linktr.ee/otakuhostclub
