The Together We Anime crew is ready for battle as they review Zoids: New Century. A byproduct of a toy line, they discuss how anime like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! paved the path for its success. Can an anime be successful with a minimal plot? They ponder what the show was about and wonder if other Zoids series offer an alternative. Would the show benefit from a modern overhaul, or does the animation still hold up today? Most importantly, does ZNC drive the crew to want to win the Royal Cup, or does it make them wander around aimlessly, asking, "now what?"Be sure to let us know how you feel about Zoids: New Century in the comments!Watch until the end to see which anime we’re watching next!Links to Everything: https://linktr.ee/togetherweanimeBe sure to follow us:📱Instagram: @togetherweanime 🎵 TikTok: @togetherweanime 🎮 Discord: https://discord.gg/XRasyqSsWSThe team’s Instagrams:🫣Nicole Learner: @contentfromcole_ 📚Stik Braxton: @stikaround54 🥷🏽NishoSoul: @nishosoul Mecha Anime, Anime Review, Anime Podcast, Anime Discussion, Anime to Watch0:00 A Nostalgic Dive into Zoids New Century Zero1:03 Welcome to the Together We Anime Podcast4:30 Nick's Internet-Inspired Synopsis7:39 Our Initial Thoughts on Zoids13:42 The Problem with the Show's Structure28:25 Are the Protagonists Actually Likable?49:21 Visuals and Animation Quality Analysis1:00:58 The Iconic Sound and Voice Acting1:13:34 Final Ratings and Recommendations

Hop in bounty hunters as the Together We Anime crew review the critically acclaimed Cowboy Bebop. They discuss Bebop's ability to navigate larger stories through the vehicle of their profession. They analyze the characters of the show, the unique relationships, and how, sometimes, the side characters stole the show. The animation, voice acting, and soundtrack are huge selling points for modern anime, so the crew asks if Bebop manages to still stand on a pedestal nearly 30 years later. But most importantly, TWA determines if Cowboy Bebop feels like eating bell peppers and beef without the beef or if it makes us sing The Real Folk Blues at the top of our lungs.

Be careful with that anxiety as the Together We Anime crew takes a swing at their wildest anime yet: Paranoia Agent. They attempt to make sense of the cult classic created by the late, great Satoshi Kon. When the line between reality and delusion is so blurred, does the story suffer from its own complexity, or does the message hit harder because of it? While much of the anime is character-driven, the crew have different views on how it impacted them personally. They also discuss the opening and ending themes, and while the music may not be for everyone, their minds are blown by the effectiveness of the accompanying imagery. But more importantly, they determine if Paranoia Agent made them want to address accountability head on or if they're waiting on Golden Bat to fix their problems.

The Together We Anime crew takes advantage of a day off and reviews Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead. They discuss the hook of the first episode, marveling at its beautiful imagination while acknowledging the controversy of its production. Each character brought a different energy to the show, and the crew decided who they most resembled. They also ask to explore what it truly means to be alive in a world filled with the living dead.

We open the portal to Makai as Together We Anime reviews the Netflix adaptation of Devil May Cry. This demonic monstrosity could not be tackled by only the three of us, so we are joined by KeeLowLow and Pastor Tae of the TKOh...Nah Podcast! We discuss how the anime hits a casual viewer vs a diehard fan of the Devil May Cry game. The characters come into focus as they discuss whether this is even the Dante they know and love, and whether they were let down by the writing. But most importantly, we determine if Devil May Cry lives up to the prestige of one of the most influential games of all time, or if one of the greatest characters of all time just becomes a background character in their own story.

In this episode of the watch club, we dive into Horimiya — a fan-favorite romance that’s known for its cozy vibe and lovable characters. We break down what the show does really well, where it falls a little flat, and the one thing we couldn’t ignore… it feels like something’s missing.
From character dynamics to pacing and emotional payoff, we give our honest thoughts on whether Horimiya lives up to the hype — and whether it’s actually worth your time. If you’ve seen it (or are thinking about it), this is your spoiler-friendly watch club discussion.
