Otaku Evolution Episode 261 – Favorite Anime Studios

Look, I’m going to level with you. I’ve been terribly sick and depressed for the past month. Especially sick the past week or so. It’s been harder to get into the holiday joy mood this year than usual. I’m not a hopeless case, I don’t think, it’s just been a pain to get motivated to do anything. Fortunately, I did a lot of this video ahead of time.

As far as the video is concerned, while it is short, I’m rather pleased with it. I liked looking at the different anime studios that made a lot of my favorite anime. I didn’t have time to do honorary mentions this time out, but pay attention to studios like MAPPA, Khara, Trigger, and Science Saru. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 249 – (Top 10) Favorite Anime Fights

I can only imagine the deviant debauchery you disgusting, rotting, booze-bloated wastrels are participating in this holiday season. You’re making the headless statue of Baphomet weep with joy and anguish as you drip the hot candle wax on the genitals of your willing, but bound, sacrifice to the dark ones, sneering with contempt for human life as you spit in the milk of human kindness and charity with your godless rituals. Long have you stripped these holy days of their reverent luster, replacing it with the cheap, gaudy sexual thrill of breads and circuses, with their fala-lala and ring-a-ding-ding. You’re on Santa’s naughty list. You haven’t contributed a single fucking penny to my Patreon, either. For shame. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 229 – (Top 10) Favorite Anime Characters

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! read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 157 – Christmas Grab Bag 2019

I always have a certain level of fun creating the Christmas episodes, even when I get a touch of seasonal depression myself. Normally, I really enjoy the holidays, at least initially, but when other people around me aren’t keeping up to my level of excitement, it bums me out. It figures, the one time of year I put aside most of my cynicism (most, not all) is when some people decide to get pouty. But then, as a shut-in, I don’t have to deal with a lot of things other people do, so who am I to judge? As of this description writing, I’m pretty okay, chilling and playing Christmas music. Christmas is next week, so let’s hope I can keep up the positive vibes. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 107 – An Otaku Evolution Julbord

My annual Christmas episode has it all, atmosphere, a framing device, a variety of different anime, some Christmas music, and… that’s everything, right? There’s nothing else to be had? I guess some gratuitous sex would be nice, but I’m anime reviewer, so that’s not likely to happen to me. But I do get to cover some Lupin III (again), Vandread (again), and Azumanga Daioh (!!!). Enjoy the video, folks. It took me a long while to do.

Happy Chrisannakuhzaalia!

Otaku Evolution Episode 81 – Otaku Evolution Christmas Grab Bag

Otaku Evolution Episode 81 – Otaku Evolution Christmas Grab Bag from mtpenguin on Vimeo.

For those who’ve been following the show, my Christmas episodes are usually the videos I put the most effort into. This year, lacking a single, sufficiently Christmas-y anime to review itself, I decided to pick a few episodes of different anime that take place on and/or around Christmas. Lupin The Third, Case Closed, and Super Dimensional Fortress Macross are the subject of my holiday hand wringing. Don’t forget to check out the new Lucky Squid Studios commercial included! read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 57 – The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya


Otaku Evolution Episode 57 – The Disappearance… by elliott-morbell

My second annual Christmas offering is my longest episode yet, covering the Haruhi movie, and featuring a special holiday advertisment for Red Ribbon Beer and an AMV. Join me, will you, as I look at this sizable anime film that takes main protagonist Kyon both to a parallel reality and back in time to prevent it from ocurring! It’s the only other anime Christmas-related anime I could thing of (other than Sailor Moon S: The Movie and the undubbed Tokyo Godfathers), and being a movie I enjoy, and with the fact I reviewed both seasons of the show this year, I thought, yeah, sure, let’s do this! So pour yourself a cup of eggnog (or two, or nine), stir it with a candy cane, and park yourself and a laptop in front of a roaring fire (preferably in a fireplace) to watch the penultimate episode of this season of Otaku Evolution! read more
