You heard us joke about it time and time again... Mikey and Jordy finally did it - we wrote an Isekai anime off the top of our heads. Somehow this exercise really brought out our childhood brains. It's as if we tapped into that youthful energy of every kid experiencing anime for the first time. Was this a good idea? That remains to be seen, but it …

Ahhh the early 2000's. In a lot of ways, the decade that perfected the art-form, and in other ways, the decade that signalled the beginning of the end! We think this one could end up divisive but thats kind of our whole thing here! Wherever you land on the debate, the early 2000's had some of the most interesting anime movies ever and in our opinio…

We know how much you all loved our Monster Musume episode so we decided to bring back the ecchi! At this point almost everyone who loves anime at least KNOWS about Prison School but what actually lies within those 12 episodes? Is it something deep and introspective? Or it it just a lot of gratuitous nudity and crotch shots? Maybe both? Probably not…

Satoshi Kon is a legend. There is no way any of us could possibly deny that. But have we stumbled upon his best work? Or is it possible we found his weakest?

Another week without our precious Jordy means another week of pure chaos with Mikey and Jay! This time we wanted to give some time to a few of the unsung heroes of anime: SIDE CHARACTERS! Thats right we aren't wasting any time on MC's or typical plot-armoured OP nonsense. In fact, we think we may have picked characters that are all better than the …

Welcome to Anime Shmanime… The Anime! Just kidding it’s Genshiken this week on the pod! Genshiken is a show about a group of otakus just doing otaku things. It’s a pure slice of life anime with little substance beyond that. The art style leaves something to be desired and there’s not much plot to sink your teeth into but that’s not the point. It’s …

FLCL is a landmark in the anime world. It serves as a launching point for well loved Studio Trigger titles that came after including one we loved in camp Shmanime – Kill La Kill. This show is a roller coaster that is all over the map, but it is clearly a free expression of the unbound imagination and artistry of it's creators. It's a show that does…

Sword of the Stranger is a samurai movie. It's exactly what you'd expect from any samurai movie. In camp Shmanime, we are divided on whether it's a particularly good one or not. There is a fine line between an homage to a genre, and being derivative and we spend a lot of time debating where this film lands. We also talk about cute dogs and how we l…

Belle is a tale as old as time... or at least as old as 1991 when Disney released Beauty and the Beast. This film is an undisputed tribute to the Disney classic even if one of us didn't realize until half-way through, and one of us thinks this version is better! Like Disney, Mamoru Hosoda places music front and center in his rendition of the story …

Bocchi The Rock isn't reinventing anything but somehow it's been topping everyone's lists. It blends comedy and rock and roll in a way that is undeniably fun and charming If you aren't rooting for Kessoku Band by the end, you're certified evil.

Well fuck. Grave of the Fireflies absolutely ruined us. It's sad and now we are sad and you are probably also sad. Despite the heavy subject matter, we managed to have a good time and laugh a little. The film is an undisputed masterpiece as beautiful as it is emotional. Studio Ghibli definitely took an opportunity to present something singular and …

It's the legend Hayao Miyazaki's birthday this month so we're covering two of his most revered films starting with Princess Mononoke.

Spy X Family is one of the most popular anime shows out there right now. We had to hit it as soon as the first season ended so here we go!

To kick off a new year we are covering Chainsaw Man! Quite possibly the most anticipated anime we've covered to date.

Regardless it's an undisputed modern classic up there with Demon Slayer, Atta…

Another Gundam title for episode 53! It's the first OVA in the franchise – War In The Pocket. This 6 episode series is a stand alone story that highlights the effects of the war on a neutral colony.
