BONUS EPISODE: "FLCL" (ft. Jacob Chapman)
Added 2024-10-15 17:40:25 +0000 UTCA month late but we're back and rolling, and we welcome resident anime expert Jacob Chapman to help us understand what the hell you made us just watch. We totally got this out late for medical reasons (we have a note!) and not because we dragged out feet to this, and yes we will get the other bonus episode out this month.
Comments
When I vote for something it's because I think it will spark an interesting conversation, and I feel like Bebop and FLCL both have done so. Sure, maybe the conversation leans more heavily on Jacob than Todd, but an interesting conversation is still an interesting conversation. I'm definitely still getting my money's worth. (Ok, so 95% of the time when I vote for something it's because I think it'll spark an interesting conversation; the other 5% of the time it's because something has been on the polls for like a year and I gotta reward the persistence. My point still stands tho.)

2024-10-18 04:27:45 +0000 UTCLL and LLS are two out of maybe 10 anime I’ve ever watched so I could at least appreciate that lol. Though tbf I’m counting all the Lupins as one because I’ve seen 5 of the series and many of the specials. Speaking of which, the way Jacob pronounces Lupin bothers me

2024-10-17 23:05:40 +0000 UTCI hope all these anime votes are actually a vast conspiracy to get more Jacob Chapman on the show. He’s a delight

2024-10-17 16:58:28 +0000 UTCJust started the episode but I'ma go ahead & predict that Todd didn't like the anime thing. One day we're gonna get Love Live on here and THEN we can stop voting for anime.

2024-10-15 20:37:14 +0000 UTCIn fairness, there's a pretty wide breadth of anime out there. Not saying you should force it on anyone (except in this context I guess), but with enough trial and error you'll eventually find stuff that clicks for you.

2024-10-15 19:58:06 +0000 UTCIf I'm being honest, even though he didn't enjoy it, Todd sounded way more invested in this than he was in Cowboy Bebop. You can tell that he has more of a handle on anime at this point.

2024-10-15 19:56:50 +0000 UTCI was just thinking about this show today and completely forgot you guys were supposed to review it!

Song vs. Song with Todd In The Shadows
2024-10-15 18:48:01 +0000 UTCEven though Todd and Lina didn't really like it or get much out of it, I still thought this was an interesting discussion, this one felt a lot different to the Cowboy Bebop episode to me. I mean for what it's worth, anime haters, FLCL feels like the last music themed anime that could even win the poll, I can't think of anything else that could still be competitive.

2024-10-15 18:34:18 +0000 UTCI actually still have my Soundtrack CD for flcl around. Loved it back in the day (circa 2002ish). Wonder what I'd think of it these days, it's been a while since I gave it a play.
Matsc
2024-10-15 17:59:06 +0000 UTCDon't get why the polls keep voting for anime when Todd is clearly never into it. Not even blaming him; but I would rather hear his thoughts on stuff he's fully engaged to.
