Warui Deshou: An Anime Podcast

All aboard, anime fans! Join us as we punch our ticket to space adventure, science fantasy, and beautiful melancholy. Listener, you're on a one way train to a three hour discussion of 1979's Galaxy Express 999 The Movie! We talk about Leiji Matsumoto, the Leijiverse, Rintaro, and some of the notable seiyuu. We discuss Maetel, Tetsuro, Emeraldas, Harlock, and all your favorites. We get into this film as a story about class struggle, Matsumoto's depictions of women, and how certain scenes affected us now that the original creator of the Leijiverse is sadly no longer with us.

Hello, friends! We actually released two pods this month! Who'd have guessed it could happen again? This episode we are talking about the 2019 Noah Baumbach film "Marriage Story" starring Matoko Kusanagi and Kylo Ren! In all seriousness, we both really liked this movie and we hope you enjoy our chat about how it goes in on the American legal system, what we thought of all the performances, how the film is disarmingly funny at times (often because of its subject matter rather than in spite of it), stimulates reflections on relationships and fatherhood, and just generally creates awareness and empathy in us.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Blessed Kwanzaa, Merry MegaChristmas, and Happy Holidays! Doc & Shadon are here with you once again to talk about all things media in 2022, at least all things they've experienced. Yes, there's some grousing about the usual awful state of the planet, but the majority of this episode is a celebration of a whole bunch of great anime, video games, books, and movies that have gotten us through the year. Sit back and reminisce with us for a few hours to close out your year with a good time! Enjoying   this podcast? Tip us a coffee on Ko-fi!

Doc & Shadon have come back from a war torn future to talk to you all about a couple of really cool James Cameron movies, The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day! If you're not super old like us, you might not remember how mind-blowing these films were at the time or how important they were to pop culture and the near-term future of action sci-fi cinema. On the other hand, if you are on old head, then come soak up the nostalgia as we discuss our favorite scenes, smart decisions the movies make, and get annoyed at the T2 trailer.   Enjoying   this podcast?

After some delays, we're back to talk about Spike Jonze' film "Her" from 2013! Shadon enjoyed this film back when it was released, but he wanted to revisit it now, almost a decade later, to see how it held up. We discuss the film's relevance in 2022, its core message about learning how to love others well, if anything about it would be made differently in 2022, its depiction of societal change in the wake of radical new technology, if the film sufficiently establishes Samantha's humanity, which app we'd like to fall in love with, and much more!

We discuss Mamoru Hosoda's third original film and final Madhouse production, 2012's "Wolf Children." When Doc first watched it, it was one of his favorites. After watching/rewatching all of Hosoda's work n the lead up to this podcast, does he still feel the same way? Shadon has never seen the film before. What does he think of it? Click play and find out! Lot of ground covered in our discussion, including: production details, both the critical and also the academic/scholarly response to the film then and now, different cultural perspectives on single-motherhood, queer readings of wolfhood, "let's get back to nature" and, of course, our emotional responses to the movie.

We are discussing one of the best films, Korean or otherwise, made in recent years, Lee Chang-dong's "Burning." In fact, this is Doc's favorite movie! "Burning" is an adaptation of Haruki Murakami's short story, "Barn Burning" (itself an adaptation of sorts of William Faulkner's short story of the same name) and features incredible performances from Yoo Ah-in, Jeon Jong-seo, and Stephen Yeun. There is a lot of ground to try to cover in this discussion. We tackle the movie's focus on class and wealth divides, what it says about creative individuals and the creative process, reality vs unreality of certain elements of the film and what those possible conclusions mean for the film as a whole as well as its individual elements, and so so much more.

For you, it was the most important podcast of your life, for us...it was Tuesday. Welcome back, friends, to Warui Deshou, where this time we discuss the notorious 1994 fighting game film adaptation, Street Fighter: The Movie! While it can occasionally be charmingly camp, and Raul Julia's performance is beyond reproach, much of the time the movie's poor casting and writing leave us cringing and groaning. But, how would we adapt a fighting game story to the silver screen? What lessons can be learned from this one? From its troubled production? In addition to pondering these serious topics, Doc & Shadon have a good laugh at SF's expense.   Production details and stories mentioned by Shadon are from this Guardian Piece: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jul/16/inside-street-fighter-movie-jean-claude-van-damme-kylie-minogue Enjoying this podcast?

That's right, Doc and Shadon are here to talk about ballet, meta-text, and weird animal-people. After lauding the folks who created this little gem, we answer a boatload of Discord & Twitter questions, discuss characters, themes and story structure, and do our best 'If you like _____, you'll like Princess Tutu."   Enjoying this podcast?

Hello, friends, and welcome to Warui Deshou's Holiday/Year-End Special! I already wrote this description once, and 2021 hates me so much that it disappeared my write-up for no reason whatsoever. That being the case, this description will be even more low-effort than usual, which is saying something. In this here podcast, Shadon and Doc discuss all their favorite anime, video games, podcasts, YouTubers, John Woo movies, and Stephen King novels they've experienced in this bloody endless year. Not one single once of prep was done by either host before the pod. Listen at your own risk. Enjoying this podcast?

WHAT'S UP DANGER? Hey gang, it's our maiden voyage into the great big ocean of Non-Anime Podcast Episodes! ICYMI, we are going to be doing two pods a month, one anime and one non. For this month's non, Shadon has chosen a pair of exemplary superhero animated films. We know these movies have a ton of big fans, so we hope we've done them justice in our (lengthy) discussion! First, we detail our histories with these characters across various forms of media. Then, we talk about each film separately, why we like each so much and we we think each does really well. Next, we compare the two in terms of their tone, goals, accessibility, stand-alone-ness, core themes, and how well each film presents the essence of its protagonist. Finally, we answer some very good questions put to us by our Discord group. Please enjoy! Enjoying this podcast? Tip us a coffee on Ko-fi! | https://ko-fi.com/waruideshou   Music: Kakero!

Welcome back, friends, to Warui Deshou! This episode, Shadon & The Subtle Doctor review and discuss the rather bonkers 2016 anime Drifters.  As usual, opinions are divided on the show. Doc is full of praise for its interesting concept, generally fun tone, and its humor. Shadon found it a boring exercise in propaganda. Despite their differing takes, the boys have a lot of fun discussing all of the above and so much more on Drifters. We hope you enjoy! Hearts to Yoichi! <3 There are a number of content warning for Drifters. We'd advise those inclined to listen to our discussion of those before jumping into the series.  Enjoying this podcast?

Over here at Warui Deshou our barely organised and functional enterprise  disguised as a high functioning podcast sometimes finds itself with  spare time to cover a show, movie or other thing that we really want to  talk about but otherwise lack the opportunity to do so.

Join Doc, Shads and returning special guest Alex  Smit as they discuss various topics like War in the Pocket's criticism  of unfettered consumption of violent media, the privilege of first world  children in not knowing the horrors of war, comparisons to old soap  operas, questionable hamburger metaphors, world building, the  perspectives of someone new to Gundam versus those familiar with it, and  more!

Joking  aside, it's a new year and a new pod as Shadon and Doc follow Chi and  Yuu on their wanderings through what may be the post apocalypse, or may  be purgatory, the afterlife, heaven, or possibly a Fallout machinima.  Join them as they discuss the first four episodes and cover topics like  what the worm statues might be, if the world is indeed real or instead  spiritual, economic storytelling, character & environment sign, and  Lego bricked shaped chocolate rations!

It's been over a year since we last hung out with the Given boys and  demand for us to cover the movie once it was released has been ongoing  ever since. Well, the film is now in the wild and thus it's time we  fulfilled that promise! Shadon and The Subtle Doctor pick up  their mics once again to talk shop about Given, covering topics such as  the transition from show to movie format and what that entails, the  focus on Akihiko and Haruki over Uenoyama and Mafuyu, Ugetsu possibly  being a devourer of souls, cinematography and storyboarding, badly timed  phone calls and more! This bonus podcast is free for everyone to  enjoy. To those who have provided feedback, comments and support for  our coverage of Given as a series both while it was airing and since,  this one is for you. <3 Support Warui Deshou - https://www.patreon.com/waruideshou Music: Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent Calicomp 1.1 Shutdown - Michael Kelly

Join Doc and Shads as they answer a multiple of Patron questions, tackle the universality of connection and how we recontextualise it as we get older, discuss Miyamura's pro-headbutting technique and if it's allowed in a school setting, compare to other romcoms we've seen and a myriad of other topics!
