Spring has sprung, and with it has blossomed a host of new shows and returning favorites to gush over. Let’s dispense with pleasantries and get right in to the top Spring 2018 anime that you absolutely should be watching!
It’s 2018, which means another year of anime is now upon us. This winter season is greeting viewers with iconic returns, more of those “isekai” plotlines, and some fun action titles. But this winter season’s biggest export to anime fans is — no doubt — a plethora of the cute! Cute babies, campers, mummies, ramen aficionados, and even albino lizard gals! It’s as if we have unearthed Rule 35: if it exists, we can make it cute
With that, the folks over at Wicked Anime are here to present you with the best (and most adorable) titles of Winter 2018 that you should absolutely watch! (more…)
Summer is once again upon us, and you know what that means. Time to beat the heat, stay indoors, and catch up on the latest season of anime. Your Wicked Anime crew is back with a list of the summer 2017 anime you MUST be watching!
This is not an article I wanted to write.
This weekend I watched all 13 episodes of the new Netflix series, Bill Nye Saves the World. And there’s only one word to describe my mood: disappointed.
I probably don’t need to tell you about my love for Bill Nye. If you’ve listened to anything I’ve said here on Nerdy Show, you know it runs deep. Bill helped develop my love of science. He showed me that science could be “cool” and I could be “cool” for liking it. Bill Nye the Science Guy is a major reason I became an engineer.
So I was excited for his new show. I really, truly was. But Bill Nye Saves the World is not a reincarnation of the television show that ignited my love of science. At best, it’s an awkward attempt at cashing in on childhood nostalgia. It’s a show that has no idea what it is and who it’s for. Is it meant to teach people more about complex scientific principles? Or is it more of a science-y Daily Show with correspondents mocking creationists and conspiracy theorists?
After 13 episodes, I’m still no closer to an answer.

EarthBound is the biggest cult hit in video game history for a great many reasons and we’ve extolled those reasons myriad times in the past here on The Nerdy Show Network. Without question, one of the most celebrated aspects of the game’s awesomeness is its score, created by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu “Hip” Tanaka. The score’s avant-garde genre fusion has topped game music lists, and influenced a whole generation of musicians following its release. (In fact, this past month I hosted a panel of musicians Camp Fangamer celebrating the music of EarthBound – you can hear it as a perk on our Patreon). Suzuki’s influence doesn’t just reach to a revered game series, he founded the new wave bands Hachimitsupai and the Moonriders and composed for revered Japanese films like Tokyo Godfathers and the 2003 revival of Zatoichi. Now he’s scoring his first US film and is crowdfunding a vinyl release. (more…)
