Otaku Melancholy Creators & Guests

Matt is an amateur podcast host and producer who loves anime almost as much as he loves his dearly beloved cats.

Karl⁠ is a resident synopsis butcherer. While he didn't really grow up on anime (unless you count Pokemon at 7:30am on weekdays), he got really hooked on the medium after one fateful day of watching Attack on Titan in college. As a result, he has a shrine full of anime figures and a closet full of weeb T-shirts. When not binging a show, he enjoys building Lego Star Wars sets, gaming on his assortment of PlayStation consoles, and trying to figure out anime OPs/EDs on the piano.⁠Karl's top 3 favorite anime:⁠1. Cowboy Bebop⁠2. Kids on the Slope⁠3. Samurai Champloo⁠Honorable mentions: Attack on Titan

Courtney is a show opener/closer and an in-depth anime analyst. She prefers to binge-watch anime, is as much of a gamer as she is a weeb, loves male tsundere, and has been cosplaying since 8th grade. She grew up watching Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball Z, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Pokemon, but her gateway anime was Inuyasha. She might struggle to remember names and titles, but for some reason she'll remember the Japanese lyrics to an anime OP for an eternity.⁠Courtney's top 3 favorite anime:⁠1. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure⁠2. Toradora!⁠3. Cowboy Bebop⁠Honorable mentions: Inuyasha, Gintama
