Episodes

  1. Season 23 Selection

    Season 23 is here and just as bad as ever! I will say this Selection has to be Top 3 fun experiences though. I really hope you all enjoy this episode and prepare for the plunge of excitement that is about to unfold this season!

  2. Witch Hat Atelier vs Needy Girl Overdose

    This is it. This is what! One more episode and we'll have made more episodes of CAS than we ever have before. And you will have watched more as well. This finale brings too good vs too weird. However, neither are great.

  3. Needy Girl Overdose vs Ghost Concert: missing songs

    Too many Needy Girls. Too many strange references to history. Too many songs. Too man social media posts. This episode is just too much of everything. Except us. Just the right amount of us.

  4. Witch Hat Atelier vs MARRIAGETOXIN

    If MARRIAGETOXIN moves on we get to see Bug sensei's wedding. If Witch hat atelier moves on we get to see more actual world building. I want both of these things to happen. Unfortunately, only one anime moves on. These are the hard choices we have to make at CAS. Pour one out with us as we make...

  5. Ghost Concert: missing songs vs The Drops of God

    This episode features JW finding out that Mark Anthony was in fact a real human being and not just a character in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. We still have no clue as to why those characters exist in Ghost Concert. We also learn that if you have good enough taste buds for beer, then clearly you...

  6. Release that Witch vs Witch Hat Atelier

    Release which Witch? the Witch with the hat of course! Two witches enter, none of us leave! Hooray for hyped up anime about witches I guess. I don't know what else to say except enjoy.

  7. Eren the Southpaw vs MARRIAGETOXIN

    (Sung to the tune of Toxic) Have you seen MARRIAGETOXIN?! Well we have and it honestly was a lot different then we were led to believe in almost every way. And honestly the same can be said about the Banksy wannabe/she-don't-wannabe Eren the Southpaw. All in all a pretty good showing of anime.

  8. The Darwin Incident vs Needy Girl Overdose

    They say if you put a milli0n monkeys in a room with a million typewriters, they will eventually write a Tale of Two Cities. Well what happens when you put one male scientist in a room with and average looking female Chimpanzee? You get a Humanzee and an anime called the Darwin Incident. Then we...

  9. Season 22 Selection

    This was probably our hardest selection yet. We really didn't have much to choose from, so much so that we went off script a little and used a different streaming service. So hop on in and buckle up for a wild ride.

  10. Shiboyugi vs Tamon's B-Side

    VINDICATION!!!! That's right. I absolutely called that the one show should not have moved on as it was just baiting us. Which show you ask? You are going to have to listen to find out on this season's finale!

  11. Roll Over and Die vs Tamon's B-Side

    We are nearing the end of this season and in this semi-final there are two very strange anime. One is about the real side of being a pop idol. The other is about what its like to be cast out of the hero party as a slave and then to become one of the good slave owners. So there you have it. I hope...

  12. Isekai Bean Counter vs Shiboyugi

    Counting beans and having sex to cure magicule sickness runs rampant in the Bean Counter. While Death games are being played, yet I see no food on any table since episode 1 is what we see in Shiboyugi. Other than that you can expect the same old anime slop.

  13. Tamon's B-Side vs Oedo Fire Slayer

    I have never watched an anime that lied so hard in its premise than I just did with Oedo Fire Slayer. I do not believe they slay a single fire in the first 3 episodes. They just recruit members into the jankiest group of firefighters I have ever seen. Tamon's B-side is about a K-pop Idol dealing...

  14. Dark Moon vs Isekai Office Worker

    Ouran High School Host Club meets Vampire Knight vs Yaoi Japan Isekai. That's all there is to say. Enjoy

  15. Shiboyugi vs Dead Account

    One of these anime is what I believe Mark Zuckerburg wanted the MetaVerse to be. The other anime is what the world will be in approximately 10 years or so. Both are very depressing. Both were hard to swallow. Both must be talked about.

  16. Kaya-Chan Isn't Scary vs Roll Over and Die

    A horror anime aimed at teaching the point of view of the fear of children goes up against some lady whose power is opposite day. Both anime try really hard to convince you that their story is deeper than it really is. Both anime fall flat on their faces. Let us dig in to which one has the...

  17. Season 21 Selection

    Another season. Another selection. Another 8 chances for these anime to either disappoint us or wow us. This is the time where we see if there are anime or anime-not. Regardless of the outcome, we will be here. Watching. Waiting. Hoping for something sufferable. And you will b e here too.

  18. May I Ask for One Final Thing vs With You Our Love Will Make it Through

    Can Scarlett punch her way to the very top, or will the rookie duo of a woman and beastman, topple her at the finish line. We have fisticuffs galore vs very awkward attempts at romance. We are just glad that this is the final, because believe it or not, these two actually deserve to be here. Now...

  19. May I Ask for One Final Thing vs Gnosia

    It's Amoongus time everybody! AWE delve deeper into the world of an Among Us style game turned anime where all the characters act too much like they are in one without ever acknowledging that fact. And to wash that bitter taste out of our mouths we get to see a woman of noble birth beat the tar…

  20. With YYou Our Love Will Make it Through vs Tojima wants to be a Kamen Rider

    This week the winter blues have come home to roost. We have finally hit the valley that we seem to hit every season, so we can at least be thankful it took this long. WE get 3 more episodes of a beastiality RomCom as well as 3 more episodes of a man going through a midlife crisis, trying to...

  21. Gnosia vs the fated Magical Princess

    Listen. I understand that Gnosia is a game all on its own. It probably has a fanbase and maybe even a following online. However, to me it is just Among Us 2: Anime Bamboozaloo. This anime is really just one long cutscene from Gnosia, as none of the characters are interesting, and they keep…

    more
  22. Hands Off vs Tojima wants to be a Kamen Rider

    You ever see those memes online where everyone just comments the joke is porn? Well Hands Off is the physical incarnation of those memes. The anime just wants to be porn but is not brave enough or is really catering to horny teenagers I guess. Meanwhile Tojima is a passion project by someone who...

  23. With You Our Love will Make it Through vs Shabake

    These anime both disappoint us is opposite end of the spectrum ways. It hits even harder considering last weeks episode. We get to choose from literal bestiality and an anime so boring I honestly have removed it from memory. I wish both anime could be sent to the shadow realm, but alas, one must...

  24. May I ask for One Final Thing vs Let's Play

    I know this may be bold of me to say but I believe May I Ask has a chance to go down in the CAS Hall of Fame. The English Dub of this anime brings everything to life in the best worst ways possible. The other anime is just so meh that it isn't worth mentioning. This episode is peak for sure.

  25. Season 20 Selection

    IT's Selection day again! Just in time following a really good finale last season! There are some big hits this season so listen and see if you can guess any!

  26. Nyaight of the Living Cat vs Turkey! Time to Strike

    Another banger of a finale is headed our way. A comfy cat related homage to horror movies is up against teenage girls trying to bowl their way out of being executed. One lures you in with cute and cuddly virus cats, while the other sets up a medieval bowling premise and knocks it down in the best...

  27. Turkey Time vs Watari Kun's

    Who would've guessed that a bowling anime could be this accurate about bowling while still being absolutely nonsensical. Its like Home Alone meets the PBA. Then you have Watari Kun doing Watari Kun things for better or for worse. He is out there just absolutely doting on his sister way too hard....

  28. Nyaight of the Living Cat vs Outcasts Resturaunt

    ZOMBIE CATS!! ZOMBIE CATS!! ZOMBIE CATS!!!! The return of the cat Virus tries to defeat a man who cooks and looks intimidating while others around him either envy him or try to off themselves. Two very strange anime!! Only one will become victorious! Who will it be? Listen to find out.

  29. Tougen Anki vs Nyaight of the Living Cat

    These were the best of anime. These were the worst of Anime. A true Tale of Two Cities. A twist on an old classic where a cat is the zombie virus. It goes up against a Deadman Wonderland knockoff. If either of those interest you, then you will be excited for this episode!

  30. Clevatess vs Watarikun

    Another very interesting week. A hero, a wolf and a baby decide to duke it out against a boy with a very unhealthy relationship with his sister. I feel like the Anime community is the only place you can say that and have people understand what you are talking about. Which, honestly, is probably a...

  31. Uglymug Epic fighter vs Outcasts Restaurant

    What i am being told is that Uglymug is going to turn the Isekai genre on its head at some point during this season. What i also know is that Outcast is the right amount of whiplash. So which one is actually going to move on? Not sure. What i do know is it's a fun listen.

  32. Turkey! Time to Strike vs Detectives These Days

    What a banger! Absolute strike of an episode! We got much less sexualization than anticipated so a win their. And we got exactly the right amount of Feudal Japan bowling. Just the right amount of good-bad to start off this season.

  33. Season 19 Selection

    You know it! You love it! It's usually one of the best episodes we release in a season! It's selection time! Get in there and listen already!

  34. Kowloon Generic Romance vs Too Perfect Saint

    Due to timing constraints this will be the final episode of this season. I can promise you it is a banger as these anime deliver on what they promised. Kowloon being a very strange sci-fi mystery romance and Too Perfect Saint being the tales of the Prince and his mental gymnastics!

  35. Classic Stars vs Too Perfect Saint

    I am pretty sure that the estates of any musical composer should be trying to sue the creators of Classic Stars as it is anything but a classic. It claims to derive inspiration from the classical composers but naught is found from the first minute until the end of each episode. Too Perfect…

    more
  36. Kowloon Generic Romance vs Apocalypse Hotel

    It's almost like the vibes anime takes on the anti-vibes anime. Where Apocalypse Hotel tries to make you feel warm and easy with a sprinkle of uneasiness to keep you on your toes, KGR is all uneasiness and intrigue where someone occasionally whispers the word normal so that you don't feel off...

  37. Please Put Them On vs Classic Stars

    It has finally happened. We here at CAS have decided to bear witness to an anime that leads with its chest and follows up with more of its chest. Please put them on truly encapsulates what I truly believe every anime is striving to be at its core and that is not a good thing. On the other hand we...

  38. Apocalypse Hotel vs To Be Hero

    I was outvoted this episode. This makes me sad because now we have to watch more of the one i considered to be on the rails. I will however say that these too anime were polar opposites of each other vibe wise. Too be Hero tries too hard to be the edgy version of My Hero Academia and Apocalypse...

  39. Too Perfect Saints vs Gorilla God's Go to Girl

    I really had hope that both of these would break anime-norms and just be a complete trashy blast. Instead we get Gaslit Gorilla Girl in a farfetched world and an anime that highlights the absolute worst of political intrigue. I still think the winner here has hope, but no spoilers so tune in.

  40. Witch Watch vs Kowloon Generic Romance

    Kowloon Generic Romance is one of the most confusing anime i have watched in a minute. Take that wqith a very big grain of salt, but it certainly sets itself apart from everything else out there. Witch Watch on the other hand just tries to stay within the weird pseudo romance anime that exist...

  41. Season 18 selection

    Out of the code Lyoko Matrix into the best episode of every season as we get ready to select the new anime once again! From Beethoven to Lingerie ecchi we have possibly the widest array and smallest selections to date.

  42. S17 Bonus Episode: Code Lyoko

    What an absolute nostalgia pick from our producer. We all get to hack into Lyoko to stop X.A.N.A from being a big bully. Unfortunately we didn't stop him in time as he was able to make a live action version that we also check out. This was half nostalgia and half painful which, if you have…

  43. Season 17 Finale

    Another season in the books and another victory when it comes to CAS correctly predicting the bad anime and the fun bad anime. We may be getting too good at this. Let's see who takes home the trophy for called shots and any parting thoughts as we close out this season.

  44. Grisaia: Phantom Trigger vs Zenshu

    The heavyweight showdown of the season finally is here! We get to see if small girls commiting war crimes can stand up to the struggles of an animator after they die. I have to say both of these surprised me for different reasons and I am excited for you to listen.

  45. Promise of Wizard vs Zenshu

    I can't say I am surprised by this week at all. When a show promises wizards and then basically doesn't deliver and the other show is promising the first three episodes just to fall off a cliff it seems history really does like repeating itself. It was a fun episode nonetheless and always we hope...

  46. Grisaia: Phantom Trigger vs Farmagia

    This episode goes to show that no good season of our podcast goes unpunished! And punished we were as we dealt with the constant disappointment vs the fall from grace.

  47. Bogus Skill vs Zenshu

    Bogus Fruit is what happens when you watch I was reincarnated as a Slime and your takeaway is "Wow having an appraisal skill is the coolest thing ever.!". Zenshu is literally what happens to Mangakas when they die and you cannot convince me otherwise. That being said this episode rounds out the…

    more
  48. Welcome to Japan vs Farmagia

    Vegemon: Vegetables evolved meets double Isekai extravaganza in this week's episode. That basically covers what we watch. I hope this message finds you well!

  49. Promise of Wizard vs Okitsura

    The one thing I can say about promise of Wizard is that it promised a wizard and we got at least one wizard. Other than that, I have no idea what in the world this show was supposed to give and therefore am waiting with baited breath to see the ultimate fight between wizard and Moon. Okitsura, on...

  50. Grisaia:Phantom Trigger vs Ameku MD

    The first 120 seconds of Grisaia is a cinematic recapping masterpiece! If you didn't know anything about the Grisaia universe then prepare to be dumped a lot of unhelpful information only to be told you are now caught up to speed. Ameku MD, on the other hand, is what happens when we allow people…
