Endless 08

Endless 08 has their first real foray into the otome genre as they watch Yumeta Company's Neo Angelique Abyss, a fantasy anime about a special miracle-wielding chosen girl and the various sexy men who live in a mansion with her. BJ and Duffo discuss the early days of video games for women, giant life-draining blobs from the darkness dimension, and maybe the dumbest looking monocle ever designed.

The Endless 08 project has now been through 15 shows, and it’s time for a retrospective episode to sort out the good, the bad, and the completely average. BJ and Duffo place the anime they have watched so far into a ladder ranking, reflecting on the following shows:
 
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino; Shigofumi: Letters From The Departed; Toradora!; Vampire Knight; Ga-Rei: Zero; RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne; They Are My Noble Masters; The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk; A Certain Magical Index; Spice and Wolf; Top Secret: The Revelation; ChäoS;HEAd; Bamboo Blade; To LOVE-Ru; and Soul Eater.

With the anime now officially extending beyond the source material, Soul Eater comes in for a bumpy landing from episode 38 to the end of the show. BJ and Duffo discuss archeological clown robot discoveries, Lord Death's very underplayed crimes, and how to non-harmfully chop a child in half with a scythe.

With madness now leaking into the world, a new spider-themed antagonist is here with a cult hellbent on going to war with the Death Weapon Meister Academy. BJ and Duffo discuss sandworm style underground desert trains, an incredibly freaky bodysnatching episode, and a secret coffee snake that is very bad for your mental health.

In a respectable showing for the Artsy bracket, an AMV highlighting the unsettling work of Satoshi Kon goes up against a pastoral jig featuring plenty of chicken.

A new threat emerges beneath the Death Weapon Meister Academy in episodes 14 to 25 of Soul Eater, with the witch Medusa working to revive an ancient enemy of Lord Death. BJ and Duffo discuss Excalibur's musical theatre background, Stein and Medusa matching each other's freak, and a surprising amount of people turning into fighter jets.

The Gothic comedy action series Soul Eater from studio Bones is one of 2008's shounen blockbusters, set in a school where human weapons and their partners learn to synchronise their souls. BJ and Duffo watch the first 13 episodes and discuss how to start a Zoom call with the lord of death, the least stealthy but most endearing ninja of all time, and getting a blood infection so bad that you go to the Twin Peaks dimension.

The threat of planetary obliteration has upped the stakes for harem anime To LOVE-Ru in the second half, and Rito will need the help of every ghost girl, alien girl, and regular-style girl around him to make it through. BJ and Duffo discuss making an English dub of a mid-00s ecchi comedy 12 years later, helping a pregnant cat assassin give birth, and a marathon for the fate of the earth that involves dodging at least three unique varieties of tentacles.
