Episode 6 - Yuri on Ice

Yuri!!! On Ice is such a fun and iconic anime that we just could not miss a chance to simp about it. Not to mention it was the first anime that we watched together! We had a wonderful time dissecting the plot, talking about what makes the show so gay, and have some fun guessing Yuri on Ice characters through a Tinder-themed game. Listen in to our many thoughts about asses, realistic figure skating, and the beauty of Yuri and Viktor’s relationship. We are truly just doing our community a favor by over-analyzing this gay icon of a show.

Episode 4 - BTS

BTS: Ddaeng! Listen in on our first simp session over the multi-talented, inspirational, and lovable boys of Bangtan Sonyeondan. We discuss our biases, the incredible impact of BTS and their careers, and our favorite songs. At the end we take two quizzes to find out 1) which BTS member we are and 2) who our best friend, enemy, and soulmates would be! We don’t need Permission to Simp! Disclaimer: In our excitement, we fudged some dates for BTS songs. While we try our best to be accurate, we recognize that we are not always correct. For example, Dope was not released in 2013 like Emma said, it was published in 2015. Thank you all for understanding.

Episode 1 - Haikyuu!!

On your mark, get set, go! Haikyuu is incredibly important to us, and a stepping stone in how we began our journeys as fellow simpers. There is a lot of stanning in this episode (a form of simping) because who doesn’t love a show about bettering yourself through the support of others? Get ready for a discussion on how Haikyuu brought us together and continues to bring us joy.
