Hey there, I recently watched Perfect Blue and wanted to talk about it along with the portrayal of women in certain well-known shows. This is a heavier show than what I have done in the past, but I feel strongly enough to talk about it. In regard to Perfect Blue, themes of sexual assault are discussed in this episode, so if that's not something you want to listen to, I understand. If you decide to skip this episode, no worries, I'll see you next time.

Hey there, Welcome back to Anime Americana! To kick off the next chapter of the show, I've been joined by listener and friend of the show Paul Seiber. Paul has a background in Film and Creative Writing, so we decided to take more of a detailed look at general story structure and some common plot devices under an anime lense. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy, and I will see you next Saturday.

Hey there. Are you an exasperated anime fan that can't seem to get anyone to watch your recommendations?

I'll see you next Saturday.

Hey there stranger. Yes, I have been radio-silent the last couple of weeks but starting today we are back! So, I've been reading chainsaw man, and I've wanted to cover it on the show, but I think we're going to start easing into the topic and into manga in general. Today, we will have a brief summary of volume one, then a couple of weeks from now, we will break down all of Part 1. Anyways, give it a listen.

Hey there. Today we briefly look into some of my pet peeves in the medium. Mostly, these are just minor things that feel like they get in the way of the story we are trying to enjoy. What troupes or cliches in anime get on your nerves?
