* BrokenPedestal: Phoenix, in regards to Goro Taniguchi's feelings towards the second season of ''Anime/CodeGeass'', which he did a marathon review of in December of 2013. While Phoenix initially felt bad towards Taniguchi for the ExecutiveMeddling towards the show, by the time he got to reviewing Episode 20, Phoenix went from pitying Taniguchi to being annoyed, feeling that Taniguchi, for all the trouble he went through making the second season, did nothing to try to curb its declining quality.

Animerica is an Anime Review Show by two American Anime fans called Fox Catcher and Phoenix, played by Alan Morrisey and Will Ryan, respectively. It usually involves them watching an entire anime, while making jokes, pointing out plotholes (which as of now is incredibly frequent in a majority of the episodes), among other things. Unlike most review shows, each episode is connected by an overarching storyline, in a similar fashion as ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall''. While most of the anime they call terrible, some of them they actually liked, such as [[spoiler: ''Anime/TokyoMajin''.]]

[[spoiler: Upon Fox Catcher's mysterious disappearance at the end of season 1 (due to Alan Morrisey wanting to quit the show), Phoenix spends the second season reviewing anime alone, and in season 3, is joined by the robot Atlas, played by JT Kamp, Ryan's co-host on their other show, Cover By Cover.]]
