Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #087 - Breathing in the Fumes of Chevy Tahoumaru

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast

Kat, Leo, and Bcom are back to discuss week 11 of the Winter 2019 anime season. Mob continues to preach philosophy to villains we don’t really care about as we struggle to care about anything outside the brilliantly animated fights of Mob Psycho II’s 11th episode. Run With the Wind sprints forward with King passing the sash onto Kakeru who enters another running dimension, which Kat think just sounds painful. Bcom is blown away by just how well Kemurikusa brought all of the threads of its sci-fi narrative together, while raising even more interesting questions. The Promised Neverland pulls off a big surprise in its penultimate episode, but we get bogged down in the psychological logistics of cutting off your own appendages. Jojo episode 24 prompts us to talk about airplane depressurization and respecting Notorious B.I.G.’s legacy, as only JoJo can. Domestic Girlfriend adds an unlikely member to Natsuo’s harem and finally hits at making Hina and Natsuo face consequences for their reckless public displays of affection. Bcom enjoyed the fanservice in this week’s episode and Chika’s ramen adventures, but Leo felt the last skit represented too much of a tone-shift from the normal comedic shenanigans of the show. We also finish off with the first of a two-part arc of Dororo, which will finish off the season by re-uniting Hyakkimaru with his family and Chevy Tahoumaru.
Recorded April 19, 2019.
