Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #104 - A 50-page Essay Raining Down Cute

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast

Bcom, Kat and Leo are back to discuss the 4th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick it off with a bunch of gaming nonsense, and Bcom and Kat both ask listeners for gaming recommendations in a packed late August game release calendar. Once we move onto anime, in Dumbbell, we are puzzled by how different Silverman’s Gym’s operation is from the gyms we know and frequent in the United States. Leo’s not sure if he knows enough words to fill 50 pages like Rika’s love interest in O Maidens. Demon Slayer takes its best shot at making Zenitsu great again, but we’re left relatively unmoved. Dr. STONE already has Yuzuriha trying to sacrifice her life for her male co-stars, which leaves Bcom unamused, and ends with a pretty obviously toothless cliffhanger. Given takes a detour to talk about guitar pedals, which Bcom is very familiar with due to his guitar-enthusiast dad’s expensive quest to create the perfect sound. Bcom isn’t so impressed with episode 4 of the Demon Girl Next Door, and Leo and Kat retreat into the inner recesses of their mind (i.e. take a nap) while he breaks it down. We close things out with Carole & Tuesday, which introduces us to a star named Flora whose past is intertwined with Gus, and shows us a darker side of the music industry.
Recorded August 26, 2019.
