The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You (Seasons 1 + 2)
This episode was originally recorded in April 2025 for the Anime Brothers Podcast. Any misinformed statements in this episode based off future events is not due to willful stupidity and/or blatant ignorance. For once.We talk about what it would be like to have 100 girlfriends in an episode that could only be described as content! It's like waifu wars on a world war scale. Wait, there's only like 11 girlfriends in these first two seasons? That seems kind of like some false marketing.Follow us on our social media so you never miss an update!

Shin Kamen Rider (feat. Earthworm from the Anime Brothers Podcast))
Firstly, Audrey's audio is subpar because of technical issues. Secondly, we have a guest this week so everyone act on your best behavior. Lastly, how are your grades looking like? You're grounded if you didn't get at least all B's. I'm a strict parent, I think.We cap off Anno Live Action Whatever I Don't Know Month with Shin Kamen Rider! Is it good? We talk about that! Is it bad? We also talk about that! What is a bug? That is also a subject we break down with our good friend who came out of retirement, Earthworm! Listen now! If you want! I'm not forcing you.https://linktr.ee/otakumelancholypodcast

Shin Ultraman
Big shiny dudes fighting for humanity! It's a tale as old as time and it's being retold again this week with our review and discussion on Shin Ultraman! We're exploring the live action films of Hideaki Anno this month so obviously here's your Shin Ultraman episode. Anno didn't have a seat in the director's chair for this one but he still wrote and produced this! Does it show? We talk some of that and more!https://linktr.ee/otakumelancholypodcast

Shin Godzilla
Well, I mean, we're not called ANIME MELANCHOLY so I guess we can be kaiju or tokusatsu otaku or whatever. We're discussing the live action works of acclaimed (and deadline missing) director, Hideaki Anno! While known and generally beloved for the Evangelion series, Anno also directed a trio of films that reimagined three of Japan's most beloved properties and this week we're covering SHIN GODZILLA! It's hot kaiju on human action as we talk politics in big monster movies, the moisture in the wind in the southeastern United State, and even more topics that will be sure to be a distraction while you're at work! Ganbatte!https://linktr.ee/otakumelancholypodcast

You and I Are Polar Opposites
Love! It's in the air! Get a better air filter to prevent love from getting into your lungs, people! We didn't do that in this episode because we absolutely breathed in deep the fumes of romance with a discussion on You and I Are Polar Opposites! We're feeling more FEELINGS than ever before this week! Join in to hear slander on Reddit, slander on isekai protagonists, and slander against our dads so overall a pretty solid episode.

Journal with Witch
In a winter season full of absolute hype machine anime, Journal with Witch was a show that tackled the complicated dynamics of people especially as they live in the wake of grief. That show is obviously going to be Journal with Witch since that's the name of this episode and all but I don't know how adept some of you are at reading. I've been using these show notes as my own personal memo pad for disrupting thoughts and no one has ever said anything during the first four years of OtaMel so why should I face consequences now? Also Makio is best girl I would absolutely let her leave me on read. Ganbatte!Go to our Linktree and follow us on our socials!

Call of the Night - Season One
We're talking all about some vampire night this episode (and not like the anime Vampire Knight or anything, I'm so funny) as we discuss the first season of Call of the Night! It's all about vibes, relationship turmoil, and the council of hot vampire MILFs in your area! You don't even have to stay up late to watch this episode! Or maybe you do. It's like 8pm CST when I'm uploading it. 8pm is pretty late isn't it, fellow kids?Click or touch here to visit our Linktree to join the Discord and follow us on our social media!

We're Back! Umamusume Pretty Derby Season One Review + A Brief Recap of the Last Two Years
Himmel was right. Doing an emotional goodbye really is embarrassing if you do meet again. We're back and we're here more than ever (but not better by any means) to yell at you about anime and anime accessories like it's 2020 all over again. In this episode, we discuss how the last two years have been treating us as well as indulge our horse girl hyper fixation with a review and discussion of the first season of Umamusume Pretty Derby! Hang out with us once again! We love you and it's good to be back.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
(Due to the nature of this anime, there is no spoiler safe section. You've been warned!) In this week's OtaMel, we take off and go full boomer mode as we fail to discuss anything except how great the ol' days were, MyAnimeList vs. AniList, and video game culture. We also rag a little bit on the writer of one New York Times article but it's all in (mostly) good fun. This review is us vs. the world and then us vs. the universe in our finest hour after we get it together with our infinite sadness with what few moments with have with our precious little life. These are all titles of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels and I know that you're very impressed I used them all in one cringe inducing sentence. Anyways, Scott Pilgrim. Listen to it or whatever.

ATTALK ON TITAN: The Final Chapters (Part One and Two)
Featuring the return of Audrey! Attack on Titan has finally ended which means that we are obligated by the spirit of vengeance that has unfortunately inhabited our bodies to talk about it. Is there that much to talk about though? The rumbling in our hearts have conscripted us to criticize these specials and criticize it we do (mostly just Eren and the ending really) so hopefully you'll listen! It's been a pretty intense 10 year ride to this point and we're content to finally end it here. I hope you enjoyed Attack on Titan as much as we have in it's anime form.

Fall 2023 Anime Preview Picks
It's like the annual sportsball draft but with seasonal anime! In this week's episode, we read off a bunch of anime and their synopsis and then say "ay imma watch that" or "ay imma not watch that and pretend I did if anyone asks" for the sake of entertainment. Hopefully it's entertaining for you because then it's just going to be a whole lot of "oH i ReAd ThE LiGhT nOvEl oF tHaT" which is, frankly, not the best kind of podcast in the world but we have to make due with the cards we're dealt and I was dealt a hand of Yu-Gi-Oh cards when all I wanted to do was play Uno.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death (Season 2, Episodes 1 - 5)
In this week's episode, I talk about how hot Toji Fushiguro is. That's the entire episode. What does it mean to be a prequel? It means having established lore to follow and not being able to stray from it. It means you can't kill off anyone important so why even bother? Jujutsu Kaisen dared to bother by showing us Gojo's past and explore his relationship with his super best bud Geto and his slow evolution from cool guy to cool guy with a scar on his head who is also kind of racist. Or ability-ist? Jujutsu-ist? Something like that. With only five episodes to cover what could be essential world building, does it even hold up? We don't ask those questions and more all in one hour long handy dandy podcast episode that you should share with the people in your life who have scars on their foreheads!

The "Would You Rather?" Game But It's Anime! (feat. JD from the Anime Brothers Podcast)
We play a classic a game this week of "Would You Rather?" but with (ALMOST) exclusively anime related questions with JD from the Anime Brothers Podcast!

It's mostly about that last topic though. Marine biology is just so cool, you know? A very special thank you to JD for answering the call and joining in on this episode!

A (Mild) Discussion on Mental Health and Illness in Anime (feat. Alex from the AniBuddies Podcast)
Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness month? I didn't for sure but maybe Alex from The AniBuddies Podcast did as they suggested this week's topic of mental health and illness and how it's portrayed in anime! It sounds a lot more insightful and intellectual than it actually is (I mean we're basically talking about cartoon character brains or whatever) but hopefully you'll have fun listening regardless! Remember to take care of your brain! You only get one! Unless you don't! Big shout out to Alex for joining in on this episode! Go check out their podcast in the links below! Like right now.

Spring 2023 Seasonal Anime Picks and Previews
We're back to our seasonal shenanigans so it's time to strap yourselves in and make a long commitment to what anime you're (probably) going to watch during the course of the season! Spring 2023 is looking kind of thick so the plan was to just talk about and read off the descriptions of (almost) every anime and break down the absolute why and what of each show and how that's going to affect our lives for the foreseeable twelve week future! I know it's been a minute since we've given seasonal anime a fair chance but I swear that we're 200% serious this time and I absolutely will not drop every single show in a fit of manic depression and frustration. I super promise it. Let us know what you're excited for and what you plan to watch too!

Five Starting Anime (Just Because Michael B. Jordan Had A List Too)
THIS EPISODE ISN'T LATE BECAUSE I FORGOT TO UPLOAD IT, YOU'RE LATE Check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel for upcoming exclusive content including the Animisery tier list at https://www.youtube.com/@otakumelancholy Celebrities liking anime? It might be closer than you think. Michael B. Jordan talked about his top 5 anime for people who aren't into anime and since I've watched a Michael B. Jordan movie then that means he and I are practically business associates (I think that's how it works) so I also wanted to make my curated list of anime that might be great to give to someone who hasn't seen an anime before as his colleague. Your mileage will definitely vary on this list because I'm going to presume that if you're listening to this episode then you're probably familiar with anime but hey! Maybe use it to help with your friends? I don't have any friends who aren't already into anime so I can't test this out. Maybe I'll mind wipe a few but then they might now want to be my friend any more. The cost of science is too high and profits are too low. Maybe Michael B. Jordan might even use this list? He won't but hey! A man can dream... But usually those dreams just turn to nightmares huh?

Video Games to Anime: Some Adaptations That Wouldn't Completely Suck (Vol. 1)
Video games! They're like anime except they're not like anime at all except for when they're entirely like anime or have anime influences or are based off anime or have anime in them. They're basically anime, yeah? As long as the human race has been on this Earth, we have sought out with great vigor to adapt video games to EVERYTHING for no reason. Like EVERYTHING. They tried to turn Sonic into a bath product. I know that's not an adaptation or anything but I'm going to count it anyways. So what video games do we think could make for good anime? That's what this episode is about and I hope you'll sit and enjoy it or work out and enjoy it or whatever. Just try to enjoy it however you can! Give us your ideas and thoughts too!

Yu Yu Hakusho: The Three Kings Saga (Ep. 95 - 112) + Final Thoughts and Review
After a year and some months, Yu Yu Hakusho has finally been completed! It took a lot of determination and fighting spirit but we fought against the tides of apathy, new anime, and just everything else to finish it and now there are some opinions to be had. It's mostly an opinion in the questionable ending and quality of the final saga or arc or whatever you want to call it but still an opinion and this is a podcast so I'll presume you want a little bit of an opinion. There's no real doubt to be had about the greatness of Yu Yu Hakusho but this final story? There's some greatness to be debated and debated it is in this very episode. We hope you'll listen and check it out and that we'll see you soon in the next week!

I Think Maison Ikkoku and Rumiko Takahashi Are Neat
It's another week of just me, myself, and I as hosts of the podcast so I really struggled to just come up with something to talk about but I've recently started reading Ranma 1/2 and thought to myself that I really really do like Rumiko Takahashi's manga especially Maison Ikkoku so I just went ahead and talked about it in a spoiler free discussion. Maybe you'll get something out of it and gather up the urge to read Maison Ikkoku yourself or maybe you'll just not do that and live your life. I think you're doing great regardless.

Are Light Novels Literature?
It's a trashed episode that was turned into a Patreon exclusive that's been turned into a regular episode again! It's a wonderful butterfly of a piece of podcast content! We couldn't record this week but we had to have something so here's the something! Light novels are an ever looming threat (I think) to anime and must be treated with respect and dignity and sincere thoughtful consideration but it's just so hard when you're trying to read a book that is titled something like" The Results From When I Time Leaped to My Second Year of High School and Confessed to the Teacher I Liked at the Time", you know? We (and by we I mean me, Matt) break down literature and if light novels are literature! The answer will not shock you but we have to have dramatic tension for the sake of content, you know.

A Con-versation: Anime Weekend Atlanta 2022
This Atlanta sure has a lot of anime weekend, huh? I said AWA so much this weekend that it started to sound wrong and I had to doubt that I had a grasp of the English vernacular and language. One of us went to AWA and one of us had to talk about it so here it is! One of us talking about it for about forty minutes or so? Maybe thirty? Time is an illusion. Break free of the shackles of allowing time to dictate your life. Be anti-time. All thoughts and feelings about this convention are basically one person's so don't allow that to dictate your enjoyment or anything like that. If you had fun and thought that Line-mageddon of AWA was fun then you keep that energy and carry it with you. I won't hate you for it. I think you're beautiful.
