Guess who's back, back again. That's right, and this time around, Suede and Chris are taking a look at many of the new shows this summer season. How many, you ask? Too many. Dragon maids, opera schools, and more isekai than truck-kun could ever hope to hit, this season has it all. Which ones do we think will rise to the top? Which ones will sink like a stone? Find out in this episode of Deep Anime Dive!
Time Stamps:
(0:00 - 10:24) Introduction
Chris and Suede chat about what kind of antics they've been up to.
(10:24 - 11:38) Hot Topical
There's some kind of sport thing going on in Japan right now.
(11:38 - 14:17) Summer Preview Debut!
(14:17 - 16:25) My Hero Academia: Season 5
Chris breaks down some of the issues he has with the latest season.
(16:25 - 19:29) The Dungeon of Black Company
A decent enough isekai comedy about a scummy guy getting endlessly beat down by his own karma.
(19:29 - 23:25) Kageki Shoujo
A slice-of-life anime that takes place in an "opera school" of sorts. It had a promising start.
(23:25 - 28:16) Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan
Depression comedy about a children's TV show host who is desperately trying to find meaning in his life.
(28:19 - 33:03) Girlfriend, Girlfriend
Harem anime where the MC decides, "Why not date all of them? What could go wrong?" Suede likes it; Chris is on the fence.
(33:03 - 37:13) The Honor at Magic High School
Spin-off sequel of The Irregular at Magic High School. Suede didn't know that when he watched it but he can confirm it is probably best to watch Irregular first.
(37:13 - 41:24) Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Season 2
Dragons! Maids! If you liked season 1, you'll like season 2. If you haven't watched season 1, we would strongly recommend you check it out; it's a good one.
(41:24 - 46:45) How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom
Isekai about a guy who saves a kingdom through sound fiscal policies and lengthy diplomatic meetings. If you enjoyed the economic escapades of Spice and Wolf, check this one out. It's honestly good.
(46:45 - 51:45) That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2
Season 2 has a lot less action and lot more talking. Chris says the story and characters are still just as good though.
(51:45 - 57:59) Tsukimichi - Moonlit Fantasy
Isekai where the hero is rejected by the goddess for being too ugly so he decides he's going to build his own world, with blackjack and hookers. Off to a good start. Recommended for those who like over-powered MC's and/or spider girls.
(57:59 - 1:02:22) My Next Life as a Villainess Season 2
Continuation of the reverse-harem isekai. Looks to be as good as season 1.
(1:02:22 - 1:09:37) Remake Our Life
MC gets a chance to re-do his college years and finally realize his dream. Recommended for those who like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou or Eizouken.
(1:09:37 - 1:15:12) Jahy-Sama Will Not Be Defeated!
Reverse isekai where Jahy must find a way to survive in the human world without her powers or minions to back her up. Will she be defeated? Never! Will she cry? Absolutely!
(1:15:12 - 1:21:41) The Duke of Death and His Maid
An unusual, fairytale romance story about a boy who kills everything he touches and a maid who teases him endlessly. While there is some comedy, it's actually a much more serious anime than it first appears. Suede highly recommends giving it a shot.
(1:21:41 - 1:26:44) Love Live! Superstar!
The newest season of Love Live gets two big thumbs up from Chris. If you like idols, moe-blob, or light hearted slice-of-life anime, this is a great one for you.
(1:26:44 - 1:33:35) Peach Girl Riverside
A promising adventure fantasy with a horribly botched release schedule. Wait until all 12 episodes are out so you can watch the show in chronological...

Guilty Pleasures - Shame on You, Your Family, and Your Cow
We all have at least one, right?
Maybe it's from a genre you usually avoid. Maybe it's a little controversial. Maybe it's known for having more plot than actual story (if you know what I mean). Maybe it's just outright bad. Whatever the case, we all have shows we're a little less proud of enjoying, but no more!
This episode, we take a look at some of our favorite shows of ill repute! From shows made for kids to shows made by 4Kids; from basic trash to outright dumpster fires, these are our guilty pleasures!
*This episode was originally recorded and set to be published on March 25th, 2021. Due to audio mishaps and Suede not being overly eager to bring more shame on his family, release was noticeably delayed. We apologize for any inconvenience.*
(00:00 - 21:08) Intro and Banter
(21:08 - 29:45) Hot Topical

Shows such as That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, The Duke of Death and His Maid, Next Life as a Villainess, How the Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom and many more!
