Anime Brain Freeze

Kicking of this episode filled with big emotions and tonal whiplash, CC first talks about the new Netflix hit show DEVILMAN crybaby and why the gruesome horror tale has more to offer than schlocky action, but is not for the faint of heart. Then John goes to a much happier place, together with the four girls from A Place Further Than the Universe and explains why both the journey and destination of the protagonists managed to tug at his heart strings. Last but not least, the hosts discuss the newest iteration in a Tokusatsu-turned-Anime franchise and whether the sympathetic cast and well animated fight scenes could keep the by-the-numbers story of Garo -Vanishing Line- afloat.   Reviews: DEVILMAN crybaby (No Spoilers) (1:12) DEVILMAN crybaby (Spoilers) (12:11) A Place Further Than the Universe (20:15) Garo -Vanishing Line- (37:24)     Related Links: https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2018/01/08/devilman-crybaby-interview-with-director-masaaki-yuasa/ https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/this-week-in-anime/2018-01-09/.12
