The Other Side - Episode 63: Love Stinks Yeah Yeah

The Other Side - Episode 63: Love Stinks Yeah Yeah

Author: Anime Outsiders May 1, 2016 Duration: 1:41:52
Starting off their look at various genres of anime, The Other Side begins with a subject they’ve had on the back burner for over a month or so. Romance is a genre that anime has crashed and burned in its attempts to pull off more than any other genre. The Other Side has seen bungled attempts at storytelling before, but the romance genre is littered with unfortunate implications. Where what is sold as the sweetest love story can be the ickiest thing you’ve ever seen. So join Cody, Max, and Andrew on a trip through sadsville as they discuss a doomed genre, examining WHY it’s doomed, why the great anime romances are, in fact, uncomfortable exercises in ickiness, and why romance works better as a subplot than a focus.

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.
