• 180. Orb and so called "Smart Anime'

  In today’s episode, we’re diving into realism in anime — from speculative realism in the sci-fi classic Legend of the Galactic Heroes to the grounded historical storytelling of Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. We’ll explore how anime captures the human condition, whether through the lens of history or the far reaches of the future.

• 179. Banned Anime: Midori

  We’re opening the curtain to take a look at the most disturbing banned anime, Midori: Shōjo Tsubaki, aka Girl in the Freak Show. We unpack the infamous cruelty it portrays, from the shocking puppy scene that IS worse than JoJo’s, to the unsettling relationship between Midori and the magician dwarf who manipulates her. More than just shock value, we explore how these grotesque depictions reflect exploitation, trauma, and the limits of storytelling in extreme art.

• 178. Anime That Could of Landed Us In Prison (Texas Senate Bill 20)

  This week on The Otaku Host Club, we’re talking Texas Senate Bill 20 — the kind of law that would probably land us in jail just for watching half the stuff we’ve covered on the pod. From classics to the weird deep cuts, we run down 12 shows from past episodes and imagine how guilty we’d be if anime crimes were real. Lock us up, we’ll take our Blu-rays with us.

• 176. Stuck On a Plane With Anime Summit

  It’s the final flight of Otaku Host Air, and the cabin crew is running out of patience (and Pocky). The Otaku Host Club is joined once again by our copilots Som and Dannie from the @animesummitpodcast—and together we brave a cabin full of anime passengers who should never have made it past security. This time, Mari Makinami is fiddling with the cockpit controls, Tohru is spilling dragon magic into the beverage cart, Fuuko is turning turbulence into an Olympic sport, Jiji is convincing the entire back row aliens are real, Gyro Zeppeli is rolling steel balls down the aisle like it’s a bowling alley, and Qifrey is quietly hexing the “fasten seatbelt” sign. Who makes the perfect rowmate? Who’s getting tossed into the cargo hold? Will this flight ever land safely, or are we trapped in a never-ending filler arc at 30,000 feet? Buckle up, stash your cursed objects in the overhead bin, and prepare yourselves— the final boarding call for Otaku Host Air is now departing.
