Been a long time coming for me to do the response art to this episode! And it's... something. Please listen to this episode to understand any of this.

This unlocked a core memory of Newtype USA giving a less than stellar review of Manga Entertainment's The End of Evangelion DVD, so I went on a quest to track down the review from its November 2002 issue 🕵️‍♀️ Found it on a YouTube video, but if anyone has a scan, please shout 😀

Watching through Kuuga would've probably helped with the mental/productive burnout I've been through in the recent months.

(Left to Right): Beanie, Kuuga, Laurel and Mae Mae referencing Shuzo Matsuoka's "Never Give Up" meme.

The Weeb Years takes its first look into the world of tokusatsu as Beanie, Laurel, and MaeMae tell you all about possibly the greatest thing? Ever? It's 2000's "Kamen Rider Kuuga"!! #tokusatsu #kamenrider #anime #manga #podcast #weeb #otaku youtube.com/watch?v=iHUaCPHAuVo theweebyears.carrd.co/

The idea of Endless 8 just reminds me of that Pop Team Epic special (?) episode where they had several different versions of that same episode with different voice actors in each one, but there were minor differences that were enough for me to go through them that many times.

Haruhi (Left) is bored and Laurel (Right) is trying to entertain her by reenacting the super driver dance with their cat. A Sims plumbob can be seen above their head. Beanie and Mushi are seen behind, reacting to the way Haruhi's sister looks.

Continuing the catchup, and... Of course they attempted to remake the manga through AI. The mangaka's reasoning for that, while unsurprising, confuses me a lot too.

A regretful-looking Beanie looking to the side, uttering "I think I'm starting to feel nostalgic for Akikan". To the left of them is Mae Mae reacting to a semi-realistic version of a character from Eiken under the DLSS 5 filter.

On the newest episode of The Weeb Years, Beanie and MaeMae put themselves through their greatest ordeal yet: Watching 2003's "Eiken" Content Warning: This one's gross #anime #manga #podcast #weeb #otaku #retro #ecchi www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_Jh...
