"Warui Deshou" is a Japanese phrase that roughly translates to "It will be bad." And, we believe we make bad content...but we also believe that very thing can be good when there's enough love and fun put into it!
Hosts and friends Doc and Shadon love anime and really enjoy talking about it. For hours at a time. Each episode they will discuss a different anime show/movie and will aim to make you think and make you laugh. They're just as likely to unabashedly gush about how cool a character is as they are to launch into a long aside of thematic analysis. Bad puns and impressions may also appear

Davidmwein · Feb 2021
I'm always looking for new podcasts about anime (there just isn't enough), and was pleasantly surprised by these guys.
Their episodes are long, but that provides plenty of material for the month and allows them to go really in-depth with their discussions.
In some of the anime podcasts I listen to, it always seems like the hosts fear dwelling on a particular topic for too long, and so they rush onto the next thing. However, this podcast gives ample attention to the shows/topics that are brought up. It's a nice change of pace, and the hosts manage to still keep that time fun and interesting.
Can't wait to see more from them! Awesome podcast!
The Genki Guy · Oct 2016
Very charming and likeable hosts with genuine passion for the topics they discuss.

A smart, well thoughtout pod about anime. It's not somthing you see everyday. Great show!
Each of the hosts bring something to the table (two of them accents) and do a good job selling me on shows to watch.
