We're changing things up a bit for this episode by reading a manga instead of watching an anime! We read the delightful (yet toothless) BL Metamorphosis. A totally nice manga that maybe could've had a bit more depth and drama going on.Anime Discussed: BL MetamorphosisNext time: Patlabor OVAs 1-7Send us your questions!

It's time for another show and tell, and this time we decided to forsake good sense and reason by choosing three different bad isekai anime and checking out their first episodes. All three held up to our general expectations of badness, but one was surprisingly fun in its badness, one was just boring, and the other was boring AND offensive. Join us as we roast some bad anime, consider our feelings on the isekai genre at large, and learn about the mechanics of fantasy pregnancy.Anime Discussed: Show and Tell: Bad Isekai Edition!Next time: BL MetamorphosisSend us your questions!

Now at the end of Shinsekai Yori, we can confidently say two things: one, this show did not need to be 25 episodes long, and two, the queerats were by far the most interesting part of the show. Join us as we dissect the few parts of the ending we actually liked, and the many parts of the ending we didn't.Anime Discussed: Shinsekai Yori 20-25Next time: Show and Tell: Bad Isekai Edtiion!Send us your questions!
