Episode 102: “Bucket Monkey”
Robin and the Dreamweavers is probably the most obscure cartoon we’ve ever done on Method to Madness. It’s the pilot for a stillborn series that mashes Cool World with all the tropes of early-1990s comics.
For once, we get to put on our hipster glasses and brag, “Yeah, we’re watching this show–oh, you’ve never heard of it,” with sincerity. Robin and the Dreamweavers was a miscarried wretch that was birthed 10 years too late and buried quietly in an unmarked grave. Your life was better in the sweet ignorance before knowing this movie even existed. But it’s too late; you’ve read this far and you’re forever changed… You’d may as well also listen.
There are no videos online of Robin and the Dreamweavers, but this is close enough:
In the Method to Madness podcast, Sean “The Grey Ghost” Ryan and Kevin “The Business” Gray discuss the great anime that you should be watching and the shameful anime we know you’re watching instead.

The tennis club advisor from Chihayafuru. I doubt anyone will bother with her, but they’ll certainly recognize her. ^_^
The receptionist from Trapeze. Due to the mixed media animation style, I think they actually have a photograph of her in there somewhere…
Anyone from a Studio 4C anime. The manager from Detroit Metal City is always a favorite (especially if you have two burly friends!) ^_^
One of the female characters from Usagi Drop would be a nice change of pace, although as a “slice of life” anime, I suppose most of the costumes aren’t very striking. (Not the little girl!)
Yuka or Rie from Kemonozume.
