Incredibly Consistent Show with Some Shortcomings

“The Otaku Spirit podcast has one of the most consistent outputs of any anime podcast out there. You can count on them to cover almost every show airing during a season and give you at least some opinion. They're also typically very willing to give any show a fair shot, even if it's not in their ballpark. Specifically, they're not into shows that are dark, and much prefer lighter, more moe shows, but they'll call out shows that are good either way.
Unfortunately, podcasts are an audio medium, and the two hosts are really poor speakers. They have a very loose control of the English language, constantly messing up verb conjugations, and mispronouncing words. This is exacerbated by the fact that they're constantly reading synopses or other prepared talking points, and they're not very good at reading-to-speaking either. This can be really bothersome if you have any standard whatsoever for speaking. It's really cringeworthy. They do apologize for this, but it's a problem nonetheless.
Overall, I go to this cast to get an alternative view on anime shows, because I'm not typically one who is down for moe/loli shows, and I like to understand where that fanbase is coming from. I appreciate the work that they put into preparing, but do wish that some discussions were a little more in-depth, or had more substance to them. I think they're a bit too wary of discussing spoilers. They'll often dance around something that happened, and I have no idea what they were even talking about, even though I watched the show myself. Luckily, they've been doing more spoiler sections at the end of cast lately, and I hope they keep that up.”Read full review »

“Otaku Spirit is one of my fav anime podcasts. I love that the hosts actually seem to love anime unlike a lot of other podcasts that seem to spend a lot of time bashing shows. Their discussions of anime are always fun and even when the hosts are critical of a show, they're always respectful...”Read full review »
