Boku no STOP! Free S6 Bonus 3: Mallrats

This week, your hosts decided to dip into a setting that's as respectful of women as Fujiko Mine, Kevin Smith's "View Askewniverse", and cover the 1995 film Mallrats. Thrill as we dive into the past through a lens of... also the past. This film is dated on so many levels and yet we all came out the other side going "You know, if you ignore (personal pet peeve), this is still funny."

Also: this means we're now two weeks out from the new season on Code Geass! Get ready for madness.

Boku no STOP! Free S6 Bonus 2: Redline

This week, we cover the theatrical masterpiece by the Fujiko Mine OVAs' director, Redline. The short version of this film is "what if F-Zero fucked?", but it is so much of a visual and auditory thrill ride. If they transformed the Wachowski Speed Racer back into an anime, this is what would come out the other end.

Come for the discussion of everyone's favorite Wacky Racer, stick around for the detours down dark dives aplenty!

Boku no STOP! Free S6 Bonus 1: The Castle of Cagliostro

It's that time again, lovely listeners! Three increasingly unhinged bonus episodes from your favorite weeaboos. This batch begins with the most logical tie-in to a season of Lupin III discussion: The Castle of Cagliostro, that film that the franchise keeps trying to get back to on so many levels.

Once again we're experimenting with the bonus format this season, and going less "slow recap of the film in detail", more "discussing the thing and letting tangents happen", which you'll actual...

BNS-P S9E7... is coming

This episode is edited, but the output is coming out like absolute ass and I think it's to do with me taking this over from Chris and our dueling plugins not playing nice. I just want to make sure everyone knows that this is not on Mr. Taylor, and the holiday means I can really dig in to fixing whatever the hell went wrong on my end.

As a bonus, if I fix this now, it means we can just interchangeably trade edits whenever in the future. This is good for all of you because if one...

Boku no STOP! Free S5 Bonus 2: Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer

This is such a bizarre and beautiful film and it cannot be stressed enough: well worth your time! Is it the best introduction to the series? Probably not. Is it a gorgeous Mamoru Oshii work which can be seen with no UY knowledge whatsoever? Yes. Also, in roughly a month the new take on the series comes out. Watch it, I speak from experience when I say it's a great work and I look forward to seeing what the new adaptation picks and chooses (since I cannot believe they're doing another 200 epis...

This first one is Matt and I geeking out about a bonkers yuri action-comedy from the 80s. Do you want references to all kinds of random pop culture, animation porn, and the explanation of how this single work is the Rosetta Stone of a lot of otaku culture on both sides of the pond through the 80s and early 90s? Get ready for an informative, horny hoot of a time!
