butlers, bland boys, bops
<p>Can we really tell Shinji to get in the robot if we, ourselves, won’t? This week, inspired by Lee Anne watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, we take some time to sit down and talk about what exactly makes a Boring Male Anime Protagonist. What do we mean by that? Listen and find out!

<p>It’s sports week, y’all! What does that mean? Well, it means that when Kim is done being aggressively attracted to Waver Velvet, we take some time to dive (pun intended) into the various ways that our favorite sports anime handle the intersections between character development and athletic development. We promise, we’ve watched shows that aren’t Haikyuu!! - we just really, really love Haikyuu!! Highlights: Kimi ni Todoke and the world’s weirdest OVA, Lee Anne Stans Oikawa Tooru And It Shows, Kim is vaguely coherent about Tsukishima Kei, and #bluehairedanimeladyrights.</p> <p>* = spoilers</p> <p><strong>Weekly Check-In</strong>: 00:13 - 07:23</p> <p>Fate/Zero - 00:35 - 03:37</p> <p>*Bloom Into You: 3:47 - 7:10</p> <p><strong>#hotmamosummer</strong>: 07:27 - 19:45</p> <p>*Kimi ni Todoke - 7:30 - 11:49</p> <p>Black Butler - 11:50 - 12:33</p> <p>*Days - 12:47 - 14:45</p> <p>Ahiru no Sora - 15:10 - 19:45</p> <p><strong>General Discussion: Character Dev./Athletic Dev. in Sports Anime</strong>: 19:46 - 57:45</p> <p>*Haikyuu - 21:37 - 43:35</p> <p>Yuri on Ice - 43:36 - 43:55</p> <p>*Chihayafuru - 43:56 - 52:00</p> <p>*March Comes in Like A Lion - 52:24 - 56:05</p> <p>Ping Pong the Animation - 57:03 - 45</p> <p><strong>And now...The Best Short Haired Anime Women</strong> 57:46 - 1:01:20</p> <p>Shows mentioned: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Dragon Ball, Ace Attorney, Sound!

rom-coms, fridged women, much needed segues
<p>In this week’s episode, Kim & Lee Anne cover a lot of ground -- from the good cats to the joy of a simple rom-com after a long, hard day of mecha shows. We then get in deep on one of our least favorite media tropes - women in refrigerators. Where does it come from, and where can we see it in anime? What does it even mean to be “fridged” anyway? Highlights: Lee Anne makes a bold choice, Kim hates Code Geass chest physics, "Will Someone Please Buy Munakata A Segway???" (No), and Akane “ZeroEscape” Kurashiki says #ScrewFridging.</p> <p><strong>Weekly Check-in</strong> 1:20 - 9:03</p> <p>Shows discussed:</p> <p>BlendS 1:28 - 4:12</p> <p>Code Geass 4:22 - 9:03</p> <p><strong>#hotmamosummer</strong> 9:05 - 20:50</p> <p>Shows discussed:</p> <p>Days 10:20 - 12:11</p> <p>Tadakoi/Tada Never Falls in Love - 12:15 - 15:52</p> <p>Nobunaga Concerto 15:55 - 18:40</p> <p>Kimi ni Todoke 18:41 - 20:45</p> <p><strong>General Discussion - Fridging</strong>: 21:05 - 1:07:48</p> <p>**general cw: death, violence against women</p> <p>Shows discussed:</p> <p>Code Geass 25:00 - 27:20</p> <p>Danganronpa 3 and V3 29:58 - 35:55</p> <p>Psycho Pass 36:10 - 39:57</p> <p>^**cw: gore mention</p> <p>Fullmetal Alchemist 40:05 - 44:23, 52:10 - 54:57</p> <p>Anohana 44:25 - 44:48</p> <p>Your Name 49:42 - 50:07</p> <p>Weathering With You 50:08 - 28</p> <p>I Want to Eat Your Pancreas 50:30 - 51:00</p> <p>^**cw: terminal illness mention</p> <p>Your Lie in April 51:15 - 51:53</p> <p>Yurikuma Arashi 55:53 - 56:10</p> <p>The Promised Neverland 56:11 - 56:31</p> <p>Soul Eater 56:44 - 56:58</p> <p>Zero Escape/999 57:35 - 59:37</p> <p>Erased 59:40 - 1:01:18</p> <p>Steins;Gate 1:01:25 - 1:07:48</p> <p><strong>And Now...Terrible Anime to Recommend to Non-Anime Fans</strong> 1:07:49 - end</p> <p>Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, Mob Psycho 100, Future Diary/Mirai Nikki, Code Geass, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Love Chuunibyo & Other Delusions, Assassination Classroom, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (and shout out to Mekakucity Actors which got left out)</p>
