Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #125 - Perpetually Stuck in Class B Yaoi

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast

Leo, Kat, and Bcom are back to discuss the 9th week of the Winter 2020 anime season. An intense showdown between Taichi and Arata triggers Kat’s yaoi alarms. It turns out the Eizouken club is just as underpaid as real-life animators are for the extreme amount of work they do. We begin to piece together the endgame of ID: Invaded as several revelations come to light. Bcom re-watches Dorohedoro several times to make sense of the latest info-packed episode. He also bangs his head against a wall as Kat believes the breast size comparison scenes in anime are not only realistic, but that guys compare dick sizes in locker rooms on a regular basis as well. We discuss whether Maple’s guild in BOFURI could’ve utilized a better strategy in their capture-the-orb event, before we devolve into debating the fanservice in the show. Leo gets insanely triggered by Daichi’s cell-phone alarm tone being the sound of dogs barking, while Bcom otherwise enjoys some good character-building in the latest episode of Haikyu. Since we’ve inevitably come to the necrophilia portion of Interspecies Reviewers, we discuss the various downsides of the practice, whether it be smell, temperature, or general creepiness.
Recorded March 24, 2020.
Note: Leo’s audio had a strange issue this episode, which we couldn’t isolate in audio editing, but has been fixed going forward. We're sorry for the drop in quality.
