Episode 19 - Villains [ Vol. 1 ]
Sometimes a great villain can be a normal human being, like Shou Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist while other times villains are god-like beings with natural powers like Neferpitou from HunterxHunter. Whatever the case may be, a great anime villain is equally as important as our heroes. Not only are villains a tool to help our protagonists grow stronger but also an essential source of tension and conflict in any show. We hope you enjoy this episode where we discuss notable villains, other than the staple figures this category usually highlights. Find us on Instagram and Twitter and let us know who your favorite villains are! Intro song by the talented "Boyfriend Genes"https://boyfriendgenes.bandcamp.com/track/dont-call

Episode 15 - What is an Isekai?
Somewhere around 2010, we saw a wave of anime that quickly became the dominating genre - isekai. A situation of "accidental travel" where a normal person from earth was transported to, reborn or otherwise trapped in a parallel universe, fantasy or virtual world. Filled with fantasy and RPG-like dynamics that were relevant to the boom in that time of online gaming and massive multiplayer communities, this genre spoke to that demographic like never before and grew it to what it is today.
