* OverusedCopycatCharacter: When talking about the [[Franchise/FateSeries Fate franchise]] in episode 8, they inevitably bring up the fact that [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber/Artoria]] has an insane amount of alternative versions as well as other characters that resemble her for some reason.

* AlternateRealityEpisode: Garnt discusses (in ever-increasing [[ItMakesSenseInContext fandom and lore-consistent complexity]]) the three alternate routes of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''--and by extension the expanding ''Franchise/FateSeries'' ([[CallBack something which]] he has done [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnVwcUhxt1k before]]). Joey and Connor, who already have their misgivings with complicated timelines, lost it.



* MusicOfNote: Crossed with SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic. The value of sound design is discussed throughout the episodes--particularly how unique sound design and musical compositions (such as the unique soundtracks of ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' every installment) help ensure that an anime production will not only sell well, but foster a large fandom engagement, MemeticMutation and turn it into a classic.

* StoryToGameplayRatio: At the heart of the discussion of Episode 8, i.e. how much gameplay and story/cutscenes should interactive media (such as VideoGames and/or a VisualNovel should have). Hilariously, Connor is pretty adamant and unapologetic at prioritizing gameplay (to the point of skipping cutscenes, as well as explaining his indifference to the visual novel format) that [[TakeThat he gets labelled "monkey brain"]] by the other two.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Quite possibly the reasoning behind their chosen title for the podcast--in that while they are seasoned anime viewers, the anime/Japanese popular culture has expanded enough that universal "classics"/"good anime value" has become highly-subjective--and that their own tastes will very likely offend older and newer members of their fandoms.

* GoingNative: An issue for all three of them (even with Joey, who is half-Japanese/half-Australian); while they do significant work to blend in with Japanese society, all three of them still have issues on certain social aspects (as well as low-key discrimination). That said, the most blatant person they know to do this (with full "weeb"/"otaku" card on display) isn't even any of them, but Garnt's fiancee Sydney/@Sydsnap--[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo680GzJi68 who sang the theme song of]] ''Anime/AnoHanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay'' in karaoke with Japanese media executives.

The episode with Chris Broad of WebVideo/AbroadInJapan delved into a lengthy discussion of why certain Japanese shows (i.e. ''Series/TakeshisCastle'', ''Series/NinjaWarrior'' and ''Series/IronChef'') appeal to a global audience ''despite'' its "widget"-ness, and [[{{Deconstruction}} also why]] a bulk of mainstream Japanese television is stuck with being [[OldMediaPlayingCatchUp brain-deadening drivel]].
