In particular, we're curious about the ways anime can both reflect reality and offer us new ways of thinking about our world. Join us in casual conversation as we apply anime to topics like love, grief, crime, politics, and everything in between.

Ep. 10: Distortions of Moe

Moe (pronounced mo-ay) is a mainstay in anime, loosely defined as "cute girls doing cute things." But what happens when this feel-good, bubbly genre takes a dark turn? In this episode, Feiyon and Dodo explore shows like Madoka Magica and Yuki Yuna is a Hero which take the typical moe formula in uniquely subversive directions.

SPOILER ALERT! In this episode, we spoil Asobi Asobase, School Live!, Selector Infected Wixoss, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Yuki Yuna is a Hero, and Mahou Shoujo Site
