Anime Gourmands

We had a blast recording this one, despite the wheel basically doing everything I didn't want it to beforehand.

If you don't like discussions regarding a certain WWII German leader, you might be wanting to sit this one out, lol. The Gourmands have caught up to this season of Tanya so far, and we needed to discuss it!

We caught up to this season's Mushoku and are ready to talk about our highlights... in this mostly slice of life focused season, lol. Oh well, we did the best we could, haha. Tanya the Evil is next.

One of the wildest Wild Card Rounds we've had, but it was certainly worth watching a season's worth of anime in one go. Long one today, but hopefully that means you guys will be entertained for longer, lol.

APOLOGIES for the up and down audio quality, we recorded each segment on different days and one of the days recordings got corrupted somehow. Luckily, I usually record a backup version, but I guess I hadn't updated the backup's recording quality in a while... so my bad, lol. A lot of wanting this episode, hahaha. We go through the three episodes required to determine whether or not we will continue watching, plus we determine our wild card selections!

Three episodes up, three episodes down, and we're here to talk about it!

Another beautiful summer season, another beautiful season preview. We've got some good ones for ya. The Ghost in the Shell, I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day, Sparks of Tomorrow, Kaiju GIrl Caramelise, Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You, and Jaadugar. Hope you're looking forward to another season of anime reviews, stay tuned!

Gooooooood day! One of the final reviews from the Spring 2026, Ramparts of Ice is a very good, realistic depiction of high school drama, and the tension you feel from it. If you're a fan of the isolated episodes, please let me know!

Kevin and Angel have very tepid opinions regarding this season of Daemon's but how much does that affect their rating?

Kevin, Tanner, and Angel all talk about Witch Hat. However, we had to record separately from each other due to scheduling, so if this episode sounds like two different episodes pieced together.... that's cause they are hahaha. Still tons of fun, tons of great insight by the crew. Hope you like it.

*Trigger Warning: This show does have SA and similarly uncomfortable topics regarding Hinagiku's backstory and potentially the Agent of Autumn as well. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED* Full review of Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring by Kevin and Tanner and... Cade for like 5 seconds. Hope you enjoy!

Tanner and Kevin go over their opinions on Nippon Sangoku and give their final ratings for the show!

Welcome to another episode featuring the love of my life! Claudia is here to give a very spirited set of advice for people who live more on the feminine side, seeing that Kevin, Angel, and Tanner have little to no experience on that side... This episode was a blast to record, please let Cloud know how much she is appreciated! BTW, here's the links to the videos we were referencing, lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YErFwJX0HKE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWBR-vYrm2w

Anime Expo is almost here! The first half of the episode is about us trying to share what we are most excited about from the schedule that has been released so far (as of this recording). The second half is where we get into the nitty gritty as to what tips and tricks we have up our sleeves in order to "survive" Anime Expo 2026.

The Crunchyroll Awards were frustrating to talk about. So frustrating, we had to scrap an episode featuring them. So instead, I went ahead and "fixed" the issues I had with the awards. Did I succeed? Definitely not, but it was much more fun to talk about as a podcast!

Wild card round of the mid-season reviews, and we have quite a doozy. Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun, Kill Blue, Go For It Nakamura-kun!, and An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess all received 3 episode reviews, and I must say, the 2 that pass may or may not surprise you... Thank you for listening!

I don't know how I have enough characters to fit these long frickin titles, lol. 3 episode reviews of Daemons, Agents, Ramparts, and Second all lined up, all shot down. Tune in if you want to see which shows we will be reviewing in full at the end of the season!

Akane-Banashi, Marriagetoxin, and Witch Hat Atelier are on the slate this week and we have some things to say about em! 3 episode reviews that serve as a little sampler to see if we want it in the final course that is the End of Season Review. Tune in if you wanna know what is gonna pass!

If that title doesn't make ya dizzy, I don't know what will, hahaha! Yes, another anime season, another anime season preview brought to you by the Gourmands. As usual, we walk you through the selection of new shows premiering this season, which has a fairly wide variety of shows this season, including the much anticipated Witch Hat Atelier! Hope you enjoy and we'll see you next week for our 3 episode reviews of Witch Hat, Marriagetoxin, and Akane-banashi.

OMG Winter 2026 is finally over! I mean it's been over, but for us its been like a dead horse coming back to life, LOL. Scheduling is hard sometimes. Fate, Sentenced, Polar Opposites, and Journal With Witch are the anime spotlighted for this end of season. Hope you enjoy!
