Reeves' Original Sin - Takopi Review

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0500

We have a special guest on today's episode: Moh! The Marina to Saif's Shizuka, trying to steal his Azuma in Reeves—the most fitting guest possible for our review of Takopi's Original Sin (a deceptively cute but emotionally devastating anime about trauma, regret, and one very confused alien trying to fix it all—thanks, ChatGPT).

Moh reflects on his sins from a previous life that have allegedly blacklisted him from entering Jordan, while Reeves relates with his own recent experiences under increased scrutiny. And the big question looms: will Moh and Saif be able to talk through their differences and find their own happy ending?

We also swap Delta horror stories, including Saif flying as an unaccompanied minor and Reeves suffering through awful delays and cancellations. We also announce the worst airline in the world cough cough Air Canada, although the poor customer service at Copa Airlines is not far behind. And Delta... pay Reeves his money!

Today we have a special guest, Sam from Rhystic Studies! You may be familiar with his content on YouTube where he explores the art, history, and culture of the collectible card game Magic: the Gathering. No, this is not David Blaine's magic, but something much more accessible to everyone! Think Pokémon cards for you weebs that haven't explored Magic like Saif. (Not) Only will we be talking about Magic, but today we talk about Akira and it's influence on the Magic world in terms of annihilation. As Reeves likes to point out on the episode, Saif doesn't dive into themes. However, Sam said it best, Saif is the Lewis and Clark of the anime world, which is essential to expanding our horizons. Don't forget to catch Sam's annihilation video here on YouTube.

We're back with a new episode on The Legend of Korra! If you're a big Avatar: The Last Airbender fan, you probably were excited for this show to find out what happened to Zuko's mom, or which of the many girls that would fawn over Sokka finally settled down with him, or even better yet, how did Avatar Aang die?! Well guess what?! This show answers none of these questions! Instead you get to see unearned accomplishments, mass produced power via lightning bending, unexpected romance, and more! Reach out to us on social and let us know what you would do if you suddenly gained airbending powers.

Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating and a Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, especially all the anime waifu moms!

Also if you want to hear us talk about anything specific on the pod, email us with your requests at notonlyanimepodcast@gmail.com. Today we'll be talking about.... Avatar: The Last Airbender?!?

From Sokka's mad game to our top Avatar waifu, this episode has everything you need to know about the show!

Thirst Trap Jayce - Arcane Review Part 3

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 13:00:00 -0500

With a heavy heart we have to inform our listeners that Bruno is parting ways with the podcast :( We hope that one day he will return as a guest host, but until then we are looking for a replacement! If you're interested, please email us at notonlyanimepodcast@gmail.com with your CV, 2-3 letters of recommendation, and a cover letter. After a long hiatus, we are finally closing out the final three episodes of Arcane! Before we dive into Arcane, you can hear about the Winter and Spring Anime seasons, how Funimation has finally realized how awful their streaming platform is and has moved their entire library to Crunchyroll, and find out who the ultimate waifu is (spoiler, it's Raphtalia). Then comes our hard hitting analysis of Arcane, from hoverboard dudes, shirtless Jayce with his big blacksmith hammer, and Sevika doing Haki?!?!

This is our first episode with Reeves living in Sweden! He's staying at a temporary place right now, so he doesn't have his full set up, so please excuse any audio mishaps! Today we talk about the rest of Sonny Boy and give our final thoughts on the show. Did someone say best anime of 2021? Maybe, but listen to the episode to find out more! You can listen to our review of the first half of the show on Episode 9 - Summer 2021 Mid-Season Review: Sonny Boy and Idaten Deities.

Reeves is moving to Sweden! Stockholm listener, please write in and show him around when he gets there this weekend.

Please let us be your first and last meat (or anime poscast) and listen to what we have to say about the ending of Beastars Season 2!

Reeves was too swamped moving that there was no time to record any additional episodes, so we'll start recording again once he's all settled in!
