GITM 92: SSSS.Dynazenon - The Churro Scene, Awkwardness & Normality | An Analysis
Explicit content warning
06/18/21 • 30 min
SSSS.Dynazenon has been a wonderful experience and so I thought it would be worth taking the time to talk about my favourite moments from the series - the awkward & uncomfortable moments. In this week's episode, I talk about the funny, yet quite important 'Churro Scene' and then speak more widely about why these moments are so valuable for humanising the anime and much more.

GITM 91: What I've Learnt About Anime | The 2021 Mid-Year Review
The annual Get In The Mecha Mid-Year Review is back! In this episode, just like last year, I take the time to reflect on what I've learnt about anime this year. Unfortunately, if you're looking for a review of actual anime from this year, this isn't the episode for you - this will be looking at some more anime news-related topics and industry-centred ideas! This time around I discuss the state of the anime industry, why paying attention to credits is important and a bit more.

GITM 93: The Nadeko Snake Arc (Bakemonogatari Analysis & Review)
The Bakemonogatari re-watch is back! This week let's discuss the fourth arc of the series, The Nadeko Snake Arc. This arc marked a real turning point for me in the series in the way that it showcased a much more uncomfortable side to the series and the big ideas within it. In this episode, I touch on how exactly it creates this uneasy mood from the perspective of audio as well as visual direction, why appearance and reality are such important concepts to not only this arc but the series as a whole & more!
