JoJo's Bizarre Podcast

It's a recap of last year on the pod - no new anime to speak of. We talk about our favorite anime we saw in 2025, our favorite anime to debut in 2025, our favorite movies, games, TV shows of the year...and what we hope to see in 2026. We also talk about thin lips, hate-watching, and kids standing in front of doors. |

We pivot to a more blatantly-on-theme show for Pride month on this episode of the podcast: we watched three episodes ofYuri Kuma Arashi, from one of the creators of Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's confusing! We also talk about jukebox musicals, Pappyland, and David Lynch.

Complex, stylistic, sad, and not very gay: these words may describe many things, but they are also how we feel about Paradise Kiss after six episodes. On this episode of the podcast we cover episodes 4-6 of the show and decide we need to move on to something else before Pride '25 is through. We also talk about cold seaside towns, music we'll always love, school admittance tests, smizing, and the city of Chicago. |

[Go to 22:09 for actual One Piece/Pace talk]

So we watched One Piece for this week's podcast episode; but to be more precise, we watched "One Pace," a fan-driven project to re-cut the OP anime to bring it more in line with the pacing of the manga. One Pace is divided into arcs, and for this episode we watched Dressrosa: Eps. 32-34. (technically the story starts at the end of Ep. 31) We also talk about Bill Burr, playing games before bed, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Zorro, Jonathan Demme films, George R.R. Martin, and The New York...

We take a short trip in the time machine this week, way back to before Original Net Animes were all the rage for Netflix and Prime Video. It's 2012 and Inferno Cop is streaming on Anime Bancho's YouTube channel. We cover all 13 (or 14) episodes on this podcast; see if we liked it! We also talk about Skinamarink, Infernal Affairs, wills, and Williams Street shows. |

Time for a confusing bout of nostalgia on JJBpod this week - we welcome back treasured guest Chicas to talk about the first Pokemon movie, aptly-named Pokemon: The First Movie. How many versions of the film are out there? What is its true thesis? Have they made too many Pokemon films? These questions may or may not be answered over the course of this episode. We also talk about Blessid Union of Souls, The Cable Guy, Frank Sinatra, baby-proof bubble toys, and Marc can't believe Koichi Yamadera really is "the man with the seven-colored voice." |
