For reasons no one can really understand, anime directors and manga authors have a bizarre obsession with Oda Nobunaga. So much material has been made with him in it–if not outright focusing on him–that you could make a genre out of the guy. Luckily, one of the members of the Other Side crew just happens to be one helluva history buff! Can he explain this bizarre phenomena? Also, stay tuned for the tangent extravaganza in this episode, where the boys discuss the origins of Japan and why samurai were pretty evil; lazy trends in anime; a blasphemous sullying of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure; and crazy Code Geass doujins. All this, plus you get to learn what Cody’s “trigger” is!’

The Other Side - Episode 88: Beware Of The Glob

In an episode that was originally going to feature Jahmere and Mike of 2GAM as guests, the boys at The Other Side set out to take a look at anime series centered around MMOs and other “trapped in the video game” scenarios. But then Sword Art Online was just too stupid and crazy to let them talk about anything else. Stay tuned for this doozy of an episode, as not only will the Other Side trio teach you about what makes writing objectively bad, but to top it all off Andrew Erickson presents a reading of the glorious trainwreck that is Sword Art Online’s big sex scene. Quite possibly the worst love scene ever put to paper!’

One day, the boys of The Other Side found something on Steam. It was a game they weren’t quite fully convinced was real. It was a visual novel dating sim-slash-series of playable Wikipedia articles. Combined with the ridiculous dating sim archetypes and the fact that it doesn’t even end in any real payoff, they knew it would be worth subjecting themselves to for an episode. Listen as the trio go on a million and one tangents in order to desperately avoid reliving this inane experience, before begrudgingly reliving this inane experience.’
