For a future series, i really hope you guys do FLCL. Didn't know until Heather mentioned it that it was created by an Assistant Director on Evangelion.

Jacob Scholan

I haven't started watching it, because I haven't been able to finish NGE, BECAUSE I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the last episode. I went from never watching anime, to not being able to bring myself to watch the last episode because I don't want it to end. Anyway, definite looking to starting this one

GoonScape

I absolutely loved the season. I cried almost every episode from something heartwarming and endearing. Easily the best voice acting I’ve heard, including the dub episodes as well! There’s a perfect translation/localization in episode 2 of Kurumi’s code phrase: “Wal…what?” answered “Wal-nut.” The action sequences get better and better through the last episode. I’m so glad y’all introduced us to this! Just an overall home run.

Tim Huff

Very thankful to the Get Played crew for introducing me to the show because I would not have watched otherwise, and I really like it. Sure, the characters are painted pretty broadly and its probably not advancing the genre too much - but it succeeded in creating a group of characters that I genuinely would love to hang out with. Every scene at the Lyco-Reco Cafe warms my heart, and I wish I could be one of the regulars!

Doc Robot

Enjoying it so far, the mystery and action really have me hooked and eager to watch my two episodes every Tuesday! It has a kinda generic art style so I probably would have skipped it if you didn't have this watch along. I'm weekly on a lot of Shonen Jump series and My Hero Academia and One Piece are both having exciting moments recently. I also just finished reading Blank Canvas, a touching memoir about art, manga, nostalgia and regret! I'm also watching My Love Story a cute comedy about a good natured giant high schooler and his first romance.

Carson O'Shoney

Weeb been catching up on classic anime films that I never saw before this show, like Ghost in the Shell and Akira. Lemme tell ya, they’re classics for a reason! Holy cow.

Adam Haisley

Lycoris Recoil is really fun, especially coming off of Evangelion. I like that both shows have action, mystery and reveals but in Lycoris Recoil the reveals are much less horrifying. I appreciated the fun characters and slick style of Lycoris. I've also been weeb-watching One Punch Man, which is hilarious and might be my favorite anime I've ever seen. Any chance you'll cover it in the future????

Lacey C

I thought the series overall was pretty fun! Cute girls and lots of action! As for what am i weebing? I recently watched cyberpunk which slapped hard. Anyway yall rock! Thanks for animeing me id love to hear yall cover Akira in the future!

wonderswan

I love the character designs, food, and gunplay in this show. I recently started an anime club watch along and we are watching Lycoris Recoil, Gundam Wing, and My Dress Up Darling!

Ian McKenzie

I thought it was quite the unexpectedly wholesome ending! Teacher not needing his cane at the end was an awesome twist. I also enjoyed how they handled homosexuality as a whole when it’s normally used as a punchline in most anime. Weeb just caught up on Dandadan! It’s from an ex assistant of Fujimoto (Chainsawman) and it’s hilarious. Also always reading One Piece!

BiPolarBear

I'm a 44 year old man and my new music to wake up to is the outro music (Tower of Flower by Sayuri). Loved the series but I hate myself. Thanks Get Anime'd!

BruceWayneBrady

Lycoris has been an amazing watch and I love that you picked a show I knew nothing about! I'm also watching Michiko & Hatchin, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and just finished Kids On The Slope; great 12 episode anime about musicians. Looking forward to the next anime you watch!

Wrekmayhem

The show has been amazing! I am glad y'all picked this to do. Lately have been weebing Ironblooded Orphans a MSG series. Y'all are the best! <3

TurboTurtle

I enjoyed Lycoris Recoil and will be along for the ride to see how the story plays out. I have been rewatching Jujutsu Kaisen and about halfway through the second season of Made in Abyss, which is a sci-fi drama, and I suggest people check it out. Oh man, is that show an emotional rollercoaster the further you get into the series. Also, thank you guys for doing Cyberpunk:Edgerunners. I would have never checked it out; I LOVED IT! Rebecca became one of my favorite characters. Anyway, thank you, guys, for this channel and your other one. I enjoy the hell out of both of them

Chubz

Absolutely loving Lycoris! My little brother has been trying to get me into anime for a few years and he has begrudgingly accepted that it took this podcast to get me into evangelion and other shows. I've been watching Dragon Ball on crunchyroll and also recently started reading the Berserk manga!

ryan mcgrath

Is there a discord? Can there be one if there is not? Started watching spy x family. It’s good but I want more yor action. I feel like they are doing her a little dirty by saying that she is this awesome assassin yet making her so clumsy and incompetent. She raised her brother. It feels like she would be better at parenting and relationships than the “dad”. Idk. I like it but they need to do better by yor.

Ace Futrell

I started watching anime in the morning like Heather and it really gets my mind working and ready for the day bc I have to really pay attention to the episode in order to read the subtitles. I weebing Cowboy Bebop which is only the 3rd anime property I’ve ever seen after Evangelion and Lycoris. Thanks for turning me into an anime dork at 35! Cheers!

Andres Lozano

I recommend Vinland Saga, historical epic drama about vikings. 2nd season’s on the way and the manga’s great as well

I have been enjoying listening to the show! I also really loved revisiting Evangelion with you all. I hadn't seen it in YEARS and got so much more out of it this time around with Heathers awesome fun facts throughout the pod. I still have to listen to the rest of your most recent Lycoris eps because I haven't watched enough of the series yet. As for what I've been weebing, I've been watching the Made in Abyss movies (a fan of the show told me they did a good job of showing the key plot moments of the regular tv show so in the interest of saving some time, I watched the movies instead of the show) and holy shit has it been an incredible fantasy/horror concept. I really hope to see y'all cover it and/or FLCL

beatnikbedlam

i really enjoyed the Lycoris ending and the lead-up to it, i thought it was really well-executed. i love the ep where they dress up to go spy on Teach at the bar. just really fun stuff. my favorite show of this season is Call of the Night, a slick vampire romance with a protagonist who reminds me a little bit of Shinji Ikari. but i’m also really excited to be closing in on the end of the most recent part of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga, Jojolion! JoJo is my favorite series across all media but i had previously been anime-only, so it’s exciting to finally be seeing all of it. lately tho, i’ve been taking my weebing to a whole new level. i’ve started making Apple Music playlists for Stone Ocean, Steel Ball Run, and Jojolion (parts 6, 7, and 8). it’s a lot of fun but i am also full of shame!

Drew Nissen

Love the show! The art and music is awesome. I'm jamming that outro song on my way home from work everyday. (Tower of Flower - SAYURI) You guys have turned me full weeb at this point. Im listening to Jpop, reading Manga, and juggling like 3 shows. I be weebin My Hero Acedemia and Spy x Family manga. I am currently watching Air Gear, Rent a Girlfriend, and Lycoris Recoil. All pretty cool.

jorgamund

I'm only on episode 8, but the show has been great so far! I do hope the writers turn some of that Yuri subtext into an actual romance between Chisato and Takina, but I've been burned before. As for what I'm weebing, Season 2 of Made in Abyss has been fucking amazing, though the Ganja Squad flashback episodes were ROUGH to watch. I can't wait to watch Chainsaw Man with you guys next season!

PC

I just finished the finale and really enjoyed it. This was a really good anime that took me by surprise with the slice of life/gun girl crossover. The end was good and now I just want more of this. I've been weebing dragon maid and am going to start Dr stone soon. Can't wait to find another anime to get into. And Spy X Family is coming back!

ryan mcgrath

I would love if Matt and nick watched To Your Eternity and just put out a 3 hr pod of them holding each other and crying. I would listen to that.

Blair Kuehn-Smith

As someone who hasn’t watched much anime prior to this podcast, I really enjoyed this one! I found myself liking the scenes around Takina’s and Chisato’s friendship more than anything else. I’m hoping future seasons will still include all the slice of life scenes and plot lines. Also, the ending credits song gives FLCL a run for its money for the title of best ending credits song ever (though I’m sure Nick would argue that this title belongs to Frasier).

Hollis Black

Lycoris reminds me a lot of one of my favorite anime, Trigun, both featuring a main character who is a bit bumbling and comic-relief-oriented, only to have a switch they can flip, and suddenly they’re hyper-competent in combat. I don’t want to spoil what happens in Trigun for Nick and Matt, but the show makes a tone switch at a point and becomes much more somber. I’m very curious to see if Lycoris does the same. On that note, what is your favorite piece of media that drastically changes tone to the point of being a near genre-change partway through?

Will cline

I love the show format its been fun listening! The show forced me to watch Evangelion and i dont know why i waited so long. The only thing i could add is maybe between series reviewing an anime movie cultural touchstones like studio Ghibli or just cool shit Heather thinks we should all see.

Kevin Stanley

Just wrote my email response, first time I did anything like that for a podcast.

burningoak

Not having a vast knowledge of anime having only watched some series that are well known to western audiences ( Attack on Titan, Deathnote and Cowboy Bebop ) I've really enjoyed this whole spinoff from HDDGP/GetPlayed and was happy to be able to support you all through patreon. Evangelion was little known to me other than by name so I really enjoyed it and it was great to get the insider scoop from Heather as well as finding some things of my own (I also caught the the German textbook that Nick noted Rei was reading). I also loved Lycoris (concept / storylines / art / soundtrack / Kojima's endrosement) ...[I had written a big previous post here and then realised I missed the final episode - thought the series finished on a killer open ending. Turns out ep. 13 was excellent! So many good moments and tied up things very well.] You guys have me hooked and I'll keep listening no matter what you do next and providing phonetic translations of Gaelic words in these comments, but those are my two cents.

Sllew

Ping Pong the Animation is my top choice for the pod. I personally love the unique style and energy of the animation.

ghostallaround

Would love to hear Nick and Matt’s commentary to the plot of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

Chris

I loved Licoris' gunplay and humor, it's a wonderful show, but maybe like Heather, Licoris Recoil does not blow my mind. I was interested in the apparent social commentary about Japanese society striving to protect the status quo and an image of proud stability. Was the proliferation of guns a reference to the US or the times globally? Chainsawman has raised similar themes and I'm loving it. Thanks for the tip.

Sean Perrotta

Somebody’s gotta do a pop-up and let me eat that shit pie!!!

Colin Becker

I definitely enjoyed the show, I think others have talked about the great interplay between the characters and just how well the gunplay is animated in the show, so I want to talk about something else: What's interesting to me is how it shows how versatile the whole "Girls with Guns" genre can be. It popped in my head because I was talking with another friend about the show and they called it "K-On with Guns", which calls back to what you said in one of the early episodes, and that got me thinking about sort of the history of the genre. Going from Gunsmith Cats/Dirty Pair/Bubblegum Crisis, which sort of feel like the start of things, to the Ghost in the Shell franchise, to Gunslinger Girls and Bee Train's Noir/Madlax/El Cazador de la Bruja to Canaan and Black Lagoon to now Lycoris Recoil you see that there's such a varied palette to play with. It just proves once again animation is a medium and not a genre itself and does not get the appreciation it deserves. As for what weeb been watching over here, I just finished my second watch of Studio Trigger's SSSS.Gridman, the collaboration between Trigger and Tsubaraya to make an animated version of the tokusatsu show Gridman (known as Superhum Samurai Syber-Squad in the US). The show was very much a peanut butter and chocolate situation for me, so when I first watched it I immediately put it in my Top 5 mech shows and bought the Blu-rays to share with my friends. Having gone back and re-watched it I think it's definitely in the Top 10 for me. Knowing the big reveal makes it interesting to look for clues throughout the show, the fights still hold up because Trigger's animation is top notch and the characters remain enjoyable. I would totally recommend it to watch for the Podcast.

David Mucci

I’m sorry to say that I’m a little cold on it, especially coming off the heels of Eva. I can’t help but think that it was more Horndog Hideo that appreciated it than “complex psychological and social themes presented in a brilliantly abstract way” Hideo.

Rachael

I love that the Get Played crew started this podcast! I've been watching along with Lycoris Recoil so I haven't finished it yet, but I am enjoying it! It was awesome to rewatch Evangelion AND get a deep dive into every episode with Heather's extensive knowledge. It was fun hearing Matt and Nick's first reaction to the series. I was inspired by Heather's daily "watch an episode of anime" and have been doing that. So far, I've gotten through two seasons of Sailor Moon, Evangelion (of course), SpyxFamily and I just started Ranking of Kings. I would love for you three to cover Gurren Lagann. Or Puella Magi Madoka Magica!

Peep_My_Meeps

I just finished the last three episodes of the show. After watching Evangelion and Edgerunners back to back, I could not be happier that this series ends the way it does, watching the two fights vs Majima had me ready for another emotional breakdown. I hope they continue the series with that mix of lighthearted fun and amazing action

Blake P

I'm solidly rating a medium on LR. I loved the animation and the combat, but it was too cute by half. I think the point Chisato makes about helping her friends is more important than a grand ambition is cool and a nice parallel/divergence from Eva. But I think it undercuts that by having Chisato be so critical to stopping Majima. Just started watching Cyberpunk by contrast, and it felt so much more compelling even in the first episode. Possibly telling on myself by faulting LR for having joy?

Andrew Mcilwraith

Not really for me (give me more of the dystopic nightmare shit), but a fun show none the less. Very impressive animation and the action sequences are *chefs kiss*! 3.75 rubber bullets out of 5

Natterluck

I don't understand any of this Licorice Recall business at all, but it's parasocially delightful to put y'all on and have the experience of These People Are Excited About Something I Don't Really Get, But Good For Them!
