Episode 23: Thugs Not Uggs

Sometimes, in the course of your life, you just have to watch a show about teens who turn into animals if a member of the opposite sex touches them.

Or at least you do if you’re Eric and Liam and you run the Shmanime Podcast. This week, with the (brief) help of returning guest Lily, we take on Fruits Basket, and we discuss toilet paper, Liam’s hatred of Fleetwood Mac, and Mr. T re-envisioned as a butterfly.

Episode 22: I Play Jazz Clarinet

Hey did you know Liam, a white person who has lived in suburban or urban America his whole life, has never even been inside a Costco? Isn’t that frigging weird? 

Anyway, the Shmanime episode he and Eric have for you today is about Gurren Lagann, Hiroyuki Imaishi’s frenetically stylized mecha anime series. Along the way, they also discuss the Shmanime Podcast’s research team (a solitary gerbil) and how great Nina Simone is.

Episode 21: Libary of Congess

Your hot fresh new episode of Shmanime is here, and hoo boy is it tasty. Liam and Eric take a spin on Space Dandy, and they bring along their returning guest Donovan (Mister Daywalker) for the ride. They yell at Donovan for being too funny, but they also talk about Marvel’s cancelled superheroes and introduce the podcast’s very first character. His name is Cletus.

Episode 20: The Sweet Hereafter

One Piece is a franchise as weird and involved as you’d expect from the top-selling manga in Japan, and Eric and Liam are here (on our 20th episode!) to talk about it. They discuss Brian Eno and a movie about a bus crash, Liam sings Amazing Grace, and Eric spoils EVERYTHING.

Episode 18: Momma Momma

What if the spirit of Oda Nobunaga, the legendary conqueror of Japan, lent its power to a young schoolgirl? What if Geronimo fought aliens side by side with Antonio Gaudí? What if Jack the Ripper was secretly... Florence Nightingale??

If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, then boy howdy are you ready to hear Liam and Eric discuss Nobunagun. In this week’s episode, we talk about linguistics, Liam’s orgy island, and drafting the perfect RPG team from history’s most prominent figures.

Episode 17: They Don’t Scratch Back

Hey. You. Out in the street. Don’t you know the man is Kappa Mikey?

If those words made sense to you, you’re probably one of the two diehard fans of Kappa Mikey, an American show that uses both American and Japanese styles of animation, which happens to be Eric and Liam’s topic for this week’s episode. In it, they talk about sentient testicles, mispronounced names, and a KICK. ASS. THEME SONG.
