In the depths of his Mother's Basement, Geoff Thew creates videos analyzing the storytelling techniques of anime and video games. He has been named the number one Worst YouTube Anime Reviewer by The Top Tens.

The way this is evolving, I wouldn't be surprised if next season Geoff wears a real suit and does an entire Oscars-style ceremony.

[Gutterman-tnry]

It is funny how Chained Soldier flips the whole "why are women interested in harem protag-kun when he is the most boring man alive" by just making him emotionally supportive and good at cooking and housekeeping.

[philipmiller]

Hokkaido Gals would better be described as a Hokkaido tourism ad with a harem subplot

[starfydusty]

"My favorite magical girl anime is a story about a girl named Utena learning to grow up"
"Ok, which one"

[TwoPairSA]

My only reaction to Chained Soldier was "after so many of these slave isekais, I can't believe somebody only _now_ made one for the 'step on me mommy' crowd". You'd have thought that'd be a niche that'd be catered to way quicker.

[kevinthedot]

There's a theory that the "rewards" in Chained Soldier are actually from the master's subconscious and they just assume it's Yuki's, which would be even funnier if it ever turns out to be true.

[loritruylio]

As someone who has binge read all of Chained Soldier while angrily going "WHO ALLOWED THIS TO BE GOOD!?" every 5 chapters or so, I'm so glad this series had the honor of being the main course for this season

[Dieffenbeast]

I love that 100 GFs was such god-tier trash that Geoff still can't help but bring it up twice a season later.

[maurtendo]

The hilarious part about Instant Death Ability is that the MC has that ability just because the author didn't feel like writing fights. Basically said that we all know the MC is always going to win, so might as well just give him an instant win button so that we could get to the other parts of the story.

[KitCabaret]

I love how the running gag with the waiter not knowing how to pronounce "adieu" subtly pays off in this episode, suggesting he actually DID start learning French after that last episode

[slashine]

gushing over magical girls actually goes pretty hard as time goes on, the part right now is just the prologue.

[Jijikjkj]

you have no idea how proud i am to have read all of these mangas before they got a anime, and predicted that they would all get a anime

[vustvaleo]

Chained Soldier a.k.a. bdsm roleplay gives you superpowers, at least it is an original hero origin story.

[tthesungodd]

I happened across the magical girl show just now, watched the first episode out of morbid curiosity, and then immediately looked up Mother's Basement. And lo and behold, there's Utena's face right there in the thumbnail. Chez Garbage has literally never failed me, 10/10 establishment

[cosmomind]

I love that Hokkaido girls dub, just flat out made the main girl Canadian.
The best part is the reason is probably because Hokkaido is up North like Canada, so why not?

[muffinzetta]

This was a season of concentrated trash instead of a large amount of trash

[sachitechless]

8:30 Counterpoint, Rentarou Aijou is something better than a god though, a really really good boyfriend.

[Advent]

"5 filthy garbage barges full of bdsm gear and Sailor and the Seven Balls dvds bathed in the white hot glow of an oil based lube fire"

You're a poet with these awards, Geoff.

[a-listsupervillain]

You neglected to mention the guy who wrote/created Chained Soldier was also the same guy who wrote/created Akame ga Kill. It explains a lot.

"Hey lady, I'm just as surprised as you don't stop." 🤣
