The Other Side - Episode: 35 Good Vs Evil

The Other Side - Episode: 35 Good Vs Evil

Author: Anime Outsiders May 1, 2016 Duration: 2:16:00
After having their faith in all that is good and decent thoroughly shattered by Boku no Pico (and after suffering a monster cold on Cody’s part), Cody and Max decide to bask in memories of some true A-List anime entertainment to remind themselves of why they watch anime in the first place. To do that, the boys of The Other Side take a look at some prime examples of how various things are done; from overall quality, to fighting anime, to comedy. To hammer the point home, they’ll compare these grade-A animes to some true stinkers in their respective ballparks, encompassing their thesis of what makes for good entertainment. It’s like a Do’s and Don’ts column for anime! For objective quality vs. niche appeal, they’ll take a look at Cowboy Bebop vs. Haruhi Suzumiya. To compare over-the-top fighting series, they’ll look at Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure vs. Baki the Grappler. Then they’ll compare the use of the girl who’s “really 1000 years old” by pitting Spice and Wolf against Dance in the Vampire Bund. After that, it’s an examination of the same concept done right vs. done wrong with Tenchi Universe vs. Tenchi Muyo. Finally, capping everything off, it’s explaining the definition of parody with Excel Saga vs. Lucky Star.

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.
