This week's topic is High-Rise Invasion, an intriguing take on the isekai genre set in a modern-day environment rather than a medieval one. While the story showed potential, it fell short in some aspects, leaving the us with numerous unanswered questions and while at the same time giving us unnecessary fanfare. By the end of the series, it seemed as though the creators were pushing for a second season, but there is no guarantee that it will happen. Despite its shortcomings, the anime had its merits and was somewhat entertaining.  The movie selection for next week is Ningen Fushin. Have you had the chance to watch it or any of the previous choices? We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions, or even suggestions for future movie picks! https://forms.gle/EHjG9Z26weDxhSUVA  Use code "FEATUREDANIME" for $5 off your first #TokyoTreat box through my link: https://team.tokyotreat.com/featuredanime  Want to buy some merch?

This weeks choice takes a different view of the Iseki genre. And it is not a bad thing for it as well. In fact the story for this one is sold and they do not shy away from the harder aspects of the entertainment industry and the choices that our main characters have to select. It keeps it feet planted on the ground in our version of reality as well. In that there is no magic or monster's (in the traditional sense). This one is certainly worth the watch.    Next week's choice is High-Rise Invasion. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

This week we have a very special guest from Anime Anonymous CJ! He joins both Jack and Rick as they talk about the movie giving a different view on it while also providing some clarification on some things. The conversation that they all have is solid with views and opinions on it being different on interpretations of key aspects of the movie. Overall though the movie was good, and it is worth the watch at least once. Next week's choice is OshiNo Ko. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

We get all flipped around in this week's choice as we talk about a movie that literally has people and items being inverted. With a story like there they do a good job of leading you to a way of understanding the differences in between the 2 groups and also really play to how some people truly are and is that focus on people being afraid of the unknown with those who follow them and with those who are willing to venture forward. This movie is truly one that is worth at least 1 watch. Next week's choice is Suzume. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

This week we talk about Wolf's Rain a solid choice to be sure but unless you watch the 4 OVAs (which are actually episodes) you will not get a conclusion to the series. Regardless you are given a solid story with some character growth, and it is one that is well worth a watch at least once. Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain.

Rick is back! And we talk about a lighthearted anime that left is feeling empty inside with such an open ending and nothing, but plot armor can help us. Much like this anime the level of plot in it is another lever. It seems like not matter what happens or what the main character does they always come out on top. Next week's choice is Wolf's Rain.

This week Jak talks about the Starship Troopers not to be confused with the movie. This anime came out in 1988 holds truer to the Book then the Live Action movie did. This Anime was poorly done one where the characters were dry. The Character development was poor, and it takes several episodes to build up to a climax that ultimately never comes. This honestly is a show that should be avoided in Jack's opinion.  Next week's choice is Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement.

This week's choice is about 2 teenagers growing up and struggling with their self-image or social anxieties. Things a lot of people still struggle with even as adults making is easily relatable. The animation is bright and vibrant, so it does not really fall into an art style that Jack cared for and he felt that it really detracted from the movie itself. This was a movie that had great potential, but it floundered on so many fronts.  Next week's choice is Starship Troopers (anime). Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

It's just Jack this week as Rick was unable to join in. The choice for this week was not a great a one but also not a bad one. The character development was poor, and the story was lacking. The artwork for it was solid and the music was good for when it was there. But that is all that it really had going for it. If you are just getting into the BL genre this would not be one to watch for the first.  Next week's choice is Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop.
