We're two analytical otakus with a passion for digging deep into our favorite anime. 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. 4: Capitalism vs. Freedom

From supernovas and falling stars to aquariums and rivers, we're looking to the skies and the seas to examine a pair of unusual opposites: capitalism and freedom. Through series like Kakegurui and Arakawa Under the Bridge, we explore how anime can present critiques and alternatives to a global economic model which falsely grounds itself on individual liberties, choice, and rationality. Will we get to the bottom of it all? Probably not! Will we tangent? You can bet your life on it!

SPOILER ALERT! In this episode, we spoil Kakegurui and Arakawa Under the Bridge
