Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #079 - Chika-sama: Love is Chika

Leo, Bcom, and Kat are finally starting their weekly reviews again! It’s week 3 of the Winter 2018 Anime season and we have a lot to be excited about. Kat gives us a whole new way to think about Mob’s progress to explosion…we’re very sorry if you can’t get this out of your head. Leo finally found a way to relate to Run With the Wind in its 14th episode. Kemurikusa starts to unravel some of its many mysteries, but still keeps us guessing at where everything is heading. We move on to the menacing 10-year-olds of The Promised Neverland and their new caretaker Krone, which is providing another entertaining puzzle box to solve. Bcom suffers through Kat and Leo’s outlandishly poor pronunciation of Italian names in JoJo Golden Wind, and Bcom and Kat gleefully rejoice when Leo’s memory is actually wrong for once. Leo struggles to understand why Bcom and Kat actually love watching Domestic Girlfriend for the podcast, given its taboo themes and incredibly dumb overarching plot. Bcom breaks down the production of the greatest ED of 2019, with Chika Fujiwara’s love detective dance at the end of Kaguya episode 3. Kat also breaks down U.S. vs. Japanese statistics for high schoolers’ rates of sexual activity, with U.S. numbers that would make Chika blush. We finish off the week with Dororo giving us the epic backstory of the creation of Hyakkimaru’s prosthetic appendages and the journey that brought him to his current state.

Recorded February 5, 2019.
