Is This a Jojo's Reference?

Kanda has a friend and like most things in this anime, it goes poorly. Dave also learns something about Marie that's been true for...a while, now. In this episode: the Second Exorcist Program, the Fourteenth's awakening, and Allen faces a decision.

Four episodes into Hallow, we're just doing our best to keep up with the pacing so far. Timothy joins the Black Order, Allen is showing some signs of the Fourteenth, we find out a bit about Kanda's whole deal, and the Noah are awakening.

Lenalee is finally back in fighting condition, we hold a meeting of the Cross Marian Fan Club, and discuss the questions we have at the end of D.Gray-Man's original run.

We find out who the two were at the end of the last episode. The inquisition into the European Branch begins: Cross and Allen are both suspects of heresy, Lulu Bell makes another appearance, Johnny loses a dear friend, and the Marshalls are on the clock.

We see Cross appear, Lavi makes peace with his duality, and the crew makes it back to the Black Order. But not before we find out some Noah lore. And this is a Chaoji-free zone, only because he decided to be a whole asshole to his dedicated rescue team. Twice! 

Enjoy this fresh two-episode week!

After debating whether or not we should change the name of the podcast for a short while, we start talking about Allen's new new upgrade, Lavi's past, Krory's new character traits, Jasdevi's whole deal, and whether or not Chaoji, Kanda, to name a couple, will survive past this story arc. 

Kanda fights Skinn, we get Skinn's whole backstory, and we're ahead of the second Noah fight within the Arc. (Episodes 76-81)

Do I deserve it? Yeah sure. Does the show? Absolutely not. Allen's Innocence is back as Crowned Clown, we finally get some really good fights between Tyki and Lavi... and Tyki and Kanda... and we see a lot of Tyki. (Episodes 69-75)

There's a real threat inside the Black Order and things are starting to come together for our crew at sea. Some of 'em. (Episodes 63-68)

This week: Allen lives, Lenalee's the target of our latest cliffhanger, and we readjust the power levels of known akuma. (Episodes 57-62)

This week in episodes 51-56: Suman Dark Falls, and finally, 52 episodes in, we start seeing some of the stuff the Black Order's really been up to. 

This week we're wrapping up the Lulu Bell arc and moving on to some real life plot in episodes 45-50.

This week, we start on Lulu Bell's master plan: Krory's poet shirt, Lavi not being comic relief, and cats in episodes 40-44.

We're talking about Kanda and Suman, duh.

This episode we cover #31-35 of D.Gray-Man, where we witness some character regression for Miranda, some growth for Kanda, a kinda forgettable episode with Allen, and we finally get to see a real DILF.

This week: Allen's trauma, one good marshall, and a beast.

PSA: We'll be releasing an episode next week so that we're back on our release schedule. 

This batch of episodes (19-24) is all about Alistair Krory, akuma-killing vampire and all around solid dude.

Editor's Note: Sorry we were late this week! Masters' degrees take time and effort. -Deanna

In our first full filler arc (episodes 14-18), we encounter two more urban legends, two more of the Noah clan, and one goodboy.

Up in episodes 6 to 13: the Millennium Earl's Master Plan, more of Allen's backstory, our first filler episode, and the best boy.

Hello! Back after our extended break, we're tackling D.Gray-Man episodes 1-5. We meet Allen Walker, get our power system set up, and watch baby's first exorcist mission. Hope you like some light horror!

Don't worry, we're still keeping it in the outro. This episode, we discuss our favorite parts of Jojo, some stuff we still don't quite understand, and gear up for our very own second season! We'll be taking a short break in the meantime, so enjoy the end of your year and stay safe.

(There are brief manga spoilers in this episode for parts 6 & 7! We don't dwell on them but they ARE there.)

We've arrived at the conclusion of Jojo's and final four episodes (36-39) of Golden Wind: we say goodbye to the Bucci gang, Polnareff, and Diavolo himself. It's been quite a ride.

In two weeks, we'll be back with an episode to recap our own bizarre adventure. And we'll reveal next anime we're watching. And then... we'll see you in 2021 for season two.

"Haha... I forgot his life ended."

We have another five episodes for you today, along with a healthy dose of Deanna's Opinions™ on... all of this. This podcast episode, we cover episodes 31 to 35 of Golden Wind.

Finally we get to see what's up with this Giorno dude. And so far, it's good!

This week we discuss episodes 1-5 of Jojo's part 5: Golden Wind.

Damn, I still can't believe that Kira got █████ by ██████??? Seems a bit unrealistic to have everyone █████ like that, especially when he said he was basically unstoppable.

This episode finishes part 4 of Jojo's! We'll be back in two weeks with the first five episodes of part 5. 

This week, instead of asking you to support our show or providing you with a link to look further, we urge you to find some way to do good in your community, or to set aside some time to nurture yourself. Take care!

We cover our only four-parter so far and boy does it feel like one long episode. Or a movie. Take your pick.

This week, instead of asking you to support our show, we instead ask  that you consider supporting Black Lives Matter in any way that you can.  They're doing far more  important work than we are, and we thought it  would be best to use our  platform to enact some much-needed change.

Rohan and Josuke, of course. Who else would we be talking about?

This episode covers part 4, episodes 26-30.

Next episode will cover four episodes, 31-34, then we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Alternate title: Real Ed Edd n' Eddy Hours. The antics get dumber as we go on and neither of us are complaining.

"It's Jojo's, don't worry about the details."

These episodes are getting long but trust us, there's a lot to unpack.

We talk through episodes 6-10 of part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable, and Dave says the episode name at some point.

We're in for it, starting afresh, and trying to remember what we watched in The Before Times. These notes are old, folks.

We made it. Jotaro and DIO finally face off, part 3 comes to a close, and we end this chapter of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

It seems like this was forever ago, but we watched the final four episodes of Stardust Crusaders and recorded our live reactions.

Thank you for listening and coming along for the ride! 💕

Pour one out for The Stand Band. This one gets real depressing, and we're not even finished yet.

We're in for it this week. We get all sorts of redemption arcs, go through ups and downs, and somehow make it to the cliffhanger at the end of this bunch.

The man needs no introduction. We'll let his part of the episode speak for itself. Set's user deserves no introduction. We'll let that part speak for itself, too.

DIO isn't actually in these episodes, but N'doul gives him a really nice description that should be remembered. Because... honestly, who wouldn't want to be described as all of those things?

He deserves his own episode title because he's a good good rascal boy. We finish up part one of Stardust Crusaders and dip our toe into Stardust Crusaders: Battle in Egypt.

A sandwich of two-parters! And a whole lot of stuff to sort through.

Avdol's still dead, but the Stand Band continues on. We cover season 2, episodes 11-15 in this one.

We meet Anne, a dastardly duo, and some more references. Join us for part 3, episodes 6-10. 

Edit: Fixed an audio issue where two tracks ran over each other for a minute or so. 

Jotaro whips onto the scene and Joseph crash-lands yet another plane. Plus, The Pose.

Jojo's onto you.

We wrap up season one, part two, and we get a sneak peek at our newest Jojo.

Happy Halloween! We kick off this batch seasonally spooky batch of episodes with some good ol' fashioned body horror.
