This week, Jared and I decided to talk about the original Danganropa anime. This anime has been long maligned, and we wanted to set the record straight on what is good, what is bad, and why the dub is the only way to watch this show.

Hi everybody! This week on the OVA, we decided to talk about manga. Jared talks about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin and how it compares to the original anime, and I talk about the recently released Legendary Edition of the Oracle of Ages and Seasons manga. We also discuss if they’re good intros to their respective medias.
Also, we talk about aliens and Tom Delonge. That’s fun! Give it a listen.
I’ve been harassing Jared for who knows how long to play one of my favorite games in the Final Fantasy series– Final Fantasy VIII.
Since he FINALLY played it, we decided to discuss the game, its reputation, why Squall is so misunderstood, and why we consider it one of the best. (Don’t forget that bomb soundtrack!)
Leave a CommentI recently made Jared play Legend of Zelda, Zelda II, A Link to the Past, and the Oracle series. In this episode we discuss the games and their influence on the series as a whole.
In addition, we talk about why we are not covering Caligula Effect, as well as a discussion about the preservation of experimental games and the huge impact of the 16-bit era of gaming.

Leave a CommentSo, I watched Parts 1 and 2 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I’m still confused, so we decided to podcast about it. There’s ridiculousness, man pain, and you should definitely give it a listen.
Leave a CommentJared and I decided to talk about the highest grossing anime movie of all time, Your Name. We talk about what we would do if bodies were switched, how many tears I cried, and if the movie was good or lived up to the hype!

Leave a CommentIn this week’s episode, we talk about Nintendo’s mobile strategy, including Miitomo, Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, and the future of their game releases. We also throw out ideas of what could work really well for phones if Nintendo got their act together.
Also life advice–don’t put your gamer tag on pizza boxes.
Leave a CommentJared and I attempt to seek a way out and discuss the three Zero Escape games, 999, Virtue’s Last Reward, and Zero Time Dilemma. We both have different experiences with some of the games, but still find them all to be very enjoyable games. There will be spoilers! We also have a discussion about education, so enjoy that? Remember, we do have a new twitter so check us out there @animecheckup!
