The Other Side - Episode 22: 2Deep4U

Author: Anime Outsiders May 1, 2016 Duration: 1:38:12
Sometimes, your favorite anime show decides it wants to be deep, meaningful, or just look smart, so it’ll throw in some philosophical ramblings in there. Or it’ll just quote people who actually knew how to do this whole philosophy thing. Or it’ll throw random-ass visuals in your face and pretend it means anything. So, who better to tear this pretentious gobbledygook apart than the good folks at The Other Side? For this episode, Cody is joined by special guest co-host Max Vader, a student in philosophy himself, to give added insight into just how much these terribly pretentious shows fail miserably at being anything more than a joke. Also, watch, as Cody spends much of the latter portion of the episode fumbling to find his words, learning that doing a podcast at 4 in the morning is never a good idea…!

Ever find yourself deep in a conversation about a show's ending or a game's mechanics, wishing you had a couple of friends right there to hash it out with? That's the feeling you get with Anime Outsiders. This isn't a formal review show or a straight news report. Instead, it's a weekly hangout where the hosts dive into the stuff they're actually watching, playing, and thinking about. You'll hear genuine reactions to the latest anime episodes, but the discussion naturally sprawls into the films that inspire them, the video games that share their DNA, and the broader hobbies that fuel this kind of fandom. The Anime Outsiders podcast captures those meandering, passionate talks that happen after the credits roll, full of inside jokes, spirited debates, and the occasional tangent about a killer soundtrack or a baffling plot twist. It's for anyone who enjoys these worlds not as isolated silos, but as connected pieces of a larger creative landscape. Tune in for the kind of authentic, unscripted chatter that makes you feel like you're just sitting on the couch with the crew, figuring it all out together.
