#80 Ruri Really Rocks

OTTACK! PODCAST — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we discuss chemistry, gemstones, and the new knowledge we gained by watching Ruri Rocks. Join us as we “dig deep” into geology and earth science while discovering our new favorite rocks and exploring questions like “what the heck is a mineral, anyway?”, “could I really find my own sapphire, though?”, and “is this a long-form size-inclusive gender-equality-promoting Girls-in-STEM commercial, or a niche eduanime leveraging gratuitous fan-service in order to get non-geologists to watch it?”

#76 Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 Part 1: A Fine Young (Chainsaw) Man

OTTACK! PODCAST — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 05:30:00 GMT

In this episode, we talk about the first four episodes of "Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26", the anime adaptation of "Tatsuki Fujimoto: Before Chainsaw Man (17-21)". From trying to interpret whether the creator is trying to say anything about animal agriculture in "A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin' in the Schoolyard" to speculating about the alternate possible ending of "Sasaki Stopped a Bullet", we give hot takes and additional context for these four short animated films. Which was your favorite? What are we most wrong about? Let us know in the comments!

...........................................................................................

Join us to explore and dig deep into the world of anime and manga as well as the history and culture behind them through our distinct perspectives as a born-and-raised Japanese non-otaku and 30+ year American anime otaku! Get to know more about Japan and Japanese words from anime/manga at the end of each episode. (episodes may contain spoilers)

#81 Monsters and Turkeys and Highballs, Oh My! - A Whole New Season of Campfire Cooking

OTTACK! PODCAST — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we talk about season two of Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill (Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi). Does Gindaco actually serve highballs at their stores in Japan, or is that just a Judgment / Yakuza game series thing? Why on earth would someone use rice pilaf instead of bread-based stuffing for a turkey? How many additional servings of shredded cabbage, clam-based miso soup, and rice are you allowed to order free of charge at a Wako restaurant these days? Ponder these and other unanswerable (by us) questions as you listen to our thoughts on this mouth-watering show!

In this episode we discuss the second four Tatsuki Fujimoto short films from Amazon Prime's Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 collection. From mermaid harems to proto-Chainsaw Man prophecies to very explicit full frontal nudity, we react to the artistry and brilliance present in these adaptations of Fujimoto-sensei's early one-shots.

#75 Anyone Can Cook… In Another World With an Absurd Skill

OTTACK! PODCAST — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we discuss “Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill,” or “Tondemo Skiru de Isekai Houroumeshi” which is an absurd title no matter what language it’s in. From the loveable cast to the extravagantly drawn food, we enjoy this anime like a gourmet enjoys a finely cooked meal. Join us as we explore definitions, why isekai is such a common setting, and some entrepreneurial ideas for how to parlay this anime into an ingredient-delivery service.

We examine the mash-up of visual styles (which mixes 2D and 3D), talk about its time slot in Japan (replacing One Piece!), and opine on the series’ central conceit, which is that a hero’s social media popularity and people’s faith in them is what determines their power(s).

OTTACK! PODCAST — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode we talk about our orb-session with Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, which has been one of our favorite anime series so far. How does an anime about the development of heliocentrism manage to be as exciting as Game of Thrones? What the hel-iocentrism is “heliocentrism,” anyway? To what extent exactly is the lingering “great man theory” of science responsible for the blind spots in Cisco’s history of science research? Find out the answers to some of these questions in this episode!

02:02 What is “Orb: On the Movements of the Earth” about?

05:35 Fact or Fiction? The Historical Context of Heliocentrism and the Inquisition

10:04 Chi vs. Orb: Japanese and English Title Differences

13:45 The Roman Catholic Church’s Influence in the 1500-1600s and being a female researcher in the 1500s (wherein Cisco has not done enough research about Maria Cunitz)

22:25 This season’s best anime theme songs: “Kaiju” by Sakanaction & “Aporia” by Yorushika

#86 Everyone Grieves Differently - Journal with Witch

OTTACK! PODCAST — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we talk about the new anime known as “Journal with Witch” or “Ikoku Nikki,” which focuses on a 15-year-old girl who has just lost both her parents in a car accident and her 35-year-old aunt, a writer who lives alone and had a difficult relationship with her deceased older sister. We explore the series’s themes of grief and connection, talk about why the third episode was so powerfully emotional for us, and give our thoughts on the characters, plot, metaphors, and, of course, the opening and ending theme songs. Meditate, heal, or just fall under this show’s spell with us!

Includes a bonus digression into the Japanese music industry's reliance on physical media (CDs) and slowness to adopt digital music (relative to other East Asian countries!)

#46 Solo Leveling Ep 1 "I'm Used to It" Reaction/Commentary

OTTACK! PODCAST — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode we give our honest reactions to the first episode of Solo Leveling *as we watch it!* Join us as we question the story’s internal logic, Mayu repeatedly tells Cisco to stop talking (is this a podcast or isn’t it?!), and Cisco tries to give the protagonist unhelpful advice. Listen while watching along, or enjoy our incomprehensible non-sequiturs if you don’t!

#71 I Spy x Family x 3

OTTACK! PODCAST — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we talk about Spy x Family, with a focus on the first episode of Season 3, our predictions about where the series is going this season, what our code names would be if we were spies, and most importantly, how incredibly amazing the new opening theme song is, because it’s by the best band of all time, Spitz. Seriously. If Spitz made an 80 minute movie that was really just a listening party for their new album, Cisco would see it multiple times in theaters............................................................................................Join us to explore and dig deep into the world of anime and manga as well as the history and culture behind them through our distinct perspectives as a born-and-raised Japanese non-otaku and 30+ year American anime otaku! Get to know more about Japan and Japanese words from anime/manga at the end of each episode.

#70 Gachiakuta: The Most Garbage Anime Ever

OTTACK! PODCAST — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we talk about Crunchyroll’s #1 worldwide streaming anime, Gachiakuta, and our reactions to its plot, characters, and music. Despite being all about garbage, we like it even more than we like participating in community trash cleanups! Come for the boss opening theme song breakdown, stay for the biting social commentary and sympathy for death-metal level despair over the current state of the environment and world.
