Rick is back! And we talk about a lighthearted anime that left is feeling empty inside with such an open ending and nothing, but plot armor can help us.

This week Jak talks about the Starship Troopers not to be confused with the movie. This anime came out in 1988 holds truer to the Book then the Live Action movie did.

This week's choice is about 2 teenagers growing up and struggling with their self-image or social anxieties. Things a lot of people still struggle with even as adults making is easily relatable.

It's just Jack this week as Rick was unable to join in. The choice for this week was not a great a one but also not a bad one. The character development was poor, and the story was lacking. The artwork for it was solid and the music was good for when it was there. But that is all that it really had going for it. If you are just getting into the BL …

Appleseed is a classic anime that did not age well. The story was not done well, the dialog made no sense and there was so much plot armor that not even with all the sentence enhancers that they added can save it. Honestly, this is one that we feel that you can pass by. Next week's choice is Robot Carnival. Have you seen next week's choice or one o…

This week's choice was basically a big ol' recap of last week's. The move did add some more clarification and I did provide you with useful information but a large chunk of it was just a recap.

This week we talk about a short story that hits all the notes for us. It has solid character growth and the animation and art for this were top-notch for us. There were a couple of things that were a put off for it but overall it was not so glaring that it dragged the series down. This one is definitely worth the watch. Next week's choice is Planet…

This week it was just a bad choice for us. We did not like this one and the animation style was dated for when it came out. At least for the time that we believe it came it. The story overall left much to be desired and it was not something we would ever venture to watch again. Honestly, you should skip this series. Next week's choice is Planetaria…

We get brought into the world of Alchemy and fight with this week's choice. This anime for us played on a sense of nostalgia. More so for Rick than Jack. But even with that for them, they could not get past the plot armor that it had for it and just cheapened the show as a whole. The story was shallow and no real character development. It was one t…

This weeks choice was a rough one and it certainly was one for the books. With meh art, story and music we can't help but feel that this was a waste of a show.
