Listen here, you fucking degenerates. I know what you’re doing, indulging in every act of debauchery and overindulgence this holiday season. So maybe you can take the time, while you’re not boozing it up with your good time gang or drowning your sorrows in a full store-bought pie, to watch my little (half hour) video about my top 10 favorite anime characters. I can already feel the bile rising in my throat as I picture all the amazing fun you’re having NOT contributing to my Patreon or subscribing to my channel and it sickens me to the core. So sit down, shake off that eggnog high, and watch this video, damn it, I worked really hard on it!

Otaku Evolution Episode 228 – Lupin III Part I
It’s the oldest anime I’ve reviewed here on Otaku Evolution, and the oldest in my collection, 1971’s Lupin III Part I, the original Lupin TV series! I’m super happy to get to talk about this groundbreaking show, it’s mood change, and how fun the whole thing can be (and how lame it can be, too). I’m also thrilled that it’s finally been dubbed into English with a voice cast I adore. But whether or not you watch it dubbed or in its original Japanese, you’re going to have a good time with these hilarious heists… usually. So this Thanksgiving season, stuff yourself with a cornucopia of fun, as I take a look at an anime classic.

*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Reinhard announces the abduction of the Emperor to his subordinates. They speculate about the possible interference of the Free Planets Alliance. Alone with Mittermeyer, Reuenthal wonders aloud who had the most to gain from the Emperor’s kidnapping. Hildegard confronts Reinhard with her suspicion that he let Vice Admiral Molt take the blame for the Phezzani plot, just as it is announced that Molt has committed suicide. On Phezzan, Rupert Kesserling reports to Rubinsky about Boltik’s weakness in the negotiation with Reinhard, but Rubinsky shows little concern. Later on, Kesserling plots with Dominique Saint-Pierré about supplanting his father.
Otaku Evolution Episode 227 – Eden of the East Movies
There are two Eden of the East movies (King of Eden and Paradise Lost) which serve as a finale for the TV series, but honestly, they should have expanded them into a second season of the show, because there was plenty of potential for one, but some kind of lethargy struck Kamiyama during the course of the plotting and he just fell asleep right before the end. The first one at least has a bit of action and suspense with the schemes of the amateur director Seleção. The second movie is just a lot of conversations, and most of them are just talking in circles about superficial political topics. I do like hanging out with the Eden of the East club, though.
