196 - Youkoso, Youkoso!! On this episode, we're covering a total of four shows! Lindsay finally watches that infamous vending machine show, which means we all get to hear about "That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Vending Machine" or "Reincarnated as a Vending Machine in Another World"... none of those are quite right, but they're so close. It's actually "Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon," and she also covers "ZOM 100: Bucket List of the Dead." Meanwhile, Dustin watches a few more episodes of the painful series "Synduality Noir" and has a lengthy rant about Part 1 of "Baki Hanma" Season 2.

Review: Uncle from Another World episode 1, only I’m the uncle
By Dustin Cabeal
Anime is enjoyable for numerous reasons. From the constant chase of love to the fantastic abilities of magic, mech suits and the best fighter in the universe. They have relatable character moments; seldom do they have relatable plot lines. At its core, Uncle from Another World is about a man that’s been in a comma for 17 years. He’s woken up after the internet ruined everything cool and fun but now middle aged, he wants to connect to the familiar things that he knew from his more youthful days. Yes, there is magic and fantasy, but that core element of being middle aged and wanting youthful connections is the most relatable anime plot line I’ve ever seen. I’m speaking on a personal level because not everyone is middle aged and has fond memories of pre-internet days in which video game information came from magazines and actually needed to be fact checked and approved before printing.
The plus and minus here is that Netflix is adapting to more of a traditional release schedule with its anime and much like Komi Can’t Communicate, Uncle from Another World is being released weekly. I didn’t have this knowledge prior to going in and so I sat down expecting a binge session like with Bastard and was meet with disappointment (Note this review was written before the second episode released). I would also encourage you to listen to this week’s episode of Let’s Anime as I talk about the episode there which has a laugh track provided by me… laughing about the show as I talk about it.

Before 2020, I think this question would have been an easy answer. But how many of you picked die? Yeah, I feel you 2022 crowd. Shit is whack, but not as whacky as this movie gets. It's YA horror for the Netflix crowd. Don't worry, we don't care about stock prices so we're only going to spoil the entire movie.

Review: The Magic Order #1
By Dan Traeger
For a writer who learned at the hip of Grant Morrison, you’d think by now Mark Millar would know better than to half-ass out a plot and try passing it off as a fully developed story. But that’s the fun and ultimately frustrating thing about Millar. He’s inconsistent as fuck. Back in the day, Millar was either brain bleedingly bad (The Ultimates, The Unfunnies, Nemesis) or absolutely on point (Civil War, The Authority, Aztek) and it was a pretty rare occasion where you’d find him phoning it in. Lately, though, he still has the great (Kingsmen, MPH, Chrononauts) and his bad stuff has morphed into an all over the map series of meh. (War Heroes, Kick-Ass, Starlight, The Jupiter Cycle, Huck.)

Review: Godzilla – Part 1, Episode 1 “Planet of the Monsters”
By Dustin Cabeal
Is it just me or does seeing anything labeled “Part 1” just kind of making you cringe. It’s like, Nah, just tell me how many parts there are already. Because frankly, if you told me there were six parts left, I would be a one and done.
The story for Godzilla, Netflix’s original 3-D animation produced by Toho, is that humans have abandoned Earth after Godzilla takes over. With the help of two alien races, they blast off into space looking to find another planet to fuck up. It’s been 22 years, and they haven’t found anything. Meanwhile, their resources are running low, so they are encouraging old people to basically piss off on suicide missions. Our main character Haruo is referred to as Captain, though it’s never and I mean never established why the fuck anyone calls him that.

Review: Devilman Crybaby
By Dustin Cabeal
When you see the word “Crybaby” it's hard to take anything seriously. We all know what a crybaby is and so adding that to the title characters name gives a connotation that most would shy away from. With a lot of anime though, if you watch based on the name or judge by the name, you’ll be surprised or disappointed. I say that because the name is actually brilliant, but you’ll have to watch the show to truly understand why.
