    BAAAAAACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIAIAIAAN. It's a very magical episode. Lots of anime-adjacent news right up top, including the untimely passing of Akira Toriyama (RIP Toriyama-sensei, AKA Goku's dad), WcDonald's WcNuggets, and Quinn's experience listening to a man on a boat explain One Piece. We talk about a couple shows, too. "MASHLE: Muscles and Magic" is first up, and we wish Quinn's thing was real, once again, for the only time this episode. We slink on down to "Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!" and create our most franchisable character, fan-favorite mascot character, and our first direct request for FAN ART. PLEASE DRAW THIS FUCK IMP. We hit the old Isekai Madlib segment hard this week, and it hits back. Finally, Quinn does some of his worst work thus far by creating a very bad and boring show out of "The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic," which he cannot cut from the episode, no matter how badly he wishes he could. We may have finally found our permanent "Thing we always say?!" This episode rules. Munch it.

  • Two Mics, Three Mouths, Can't Lose! The Ani-Nanny-Grey's-Anato-Me?!?! BANGS.
    Feb 12 2024
    Don't call it a comeback. Dot Plot Season Three is unstoppable. It is easily delayed by illness and exacerbating circumstances, but WE NEVER STOP, and we certainly NEVER LOSE. It's all bangers this week on Dot Plot Ascension, with the exception of one kinda boring show. The UNwanTED UNDEAD ADvenTUrer? What's that even supposed to read like? Something goofy. Then we dip into the medical mystery surrounding how anglerfish do breeding, and how one confident sturgeon surgeon named Elise can lend a helping fin/hand in Surgeon Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp. Robert gets violently upset at the whole premise! It's fun. We give Isekai Mad Libs the old college try, and the results... may... astound you. Buckle in. We cap off the show with maybe the finest example of how to marry Top Gun, Gurren Lagann, and Pilot-Mecha Love Triangles with Brave Bang Brave Bravern! If you know of anime featuring corrective orthodontics (Braces, retainers, etc.) please let Quinn know.

  • They're Daddies, AND they're buddies? Two Girls met WHERE?? TWO CAR?! (Isekai Mad Libs Returns)
    Jan 22 2024
    Viewer, it is so good to see you again. We brought the heat. We kept it spicy. We all were so loud it was difficult for Editing Quinn to remove each others' voices from their audio tracks. He did a mediocre job. 7/10 Editing Quinn, sorry for the bad sounds and echo and clipping! Regardless, this is Episode 3 of Season 3 of the Award-Winning anime improv comedy extravaganza known as Dot Plot Ascension. We hit up some Daddies and Buddies, dip our toes into the Aquatope of/on White Sand, and explore the dark depths of the criminal underworld of the Cars franchise in TWOCAR. PLUS! ISEKAI MAD LIBS RETURNS. Will Kalena, Robert, and Quinn figure out how to make this bit survive longer than two episodes? Or will our collective inability to take the premise seriously sink the entire venture? Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion! And what's this? Dot Plot Development returns from beyond beyond the grave! What's a Nintendo Playstation, and how will Robert assemble one? Dare we enter... the CROCOSEUM? And there's a third one! It was also funny! I promise!

  • Two-Gi-Oh! Seinfeld M-Preg! Isekai Mad Libs?!
    Jan 13 2024

    It's time to G-G-G-G-gggggggggggggg GOOF. Two for two in the banger department, we are proud to bring another PIPING HOT episode of Dot Plot Ascension, full of maturity, drama, soccer, and- OH! SUDDENLY! A returning bit from a lost age? Dot Plot Development returns in our second episode of the year, followed by a real tooth-puller of a bit called Isekai Mad Libs. I want to erase my memory of this bit. We do find the time to cool off, with Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague, and then the heat is BACK ON when Quinn doesn't spend any amount of time talking about a hypothetical M-Preg Seinfeld Hentai! Kramer. It's a real gusher of an ep. Beware the splash zone.

  • Dot Plot Ascension 3.0 + 1.0 (You Can (NOT) Re-Mix)
    Jan 7 2024
    Oh boy. You thought we were done? That we were out of the pod game? That the bean man could ever keep us down? It's 2024, and we're casting pods, we're casting aspersions, and we're casting OBLITERATE (that's a call-ahead to a joke in the episode, trust me). Robert, Kalena, and Quinn are all over 30, and hitting their collective mature streak, and ready to warm your poor, scrobbling bones by the warm glow of a new year of HOT POD ACTION. This Week: My New Boss is Goofy, Undead Murder Farce, The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today. Buckle in. Quinn got very good at editing.

  • Episode 11: LEVEL TWO. And Nasty Clowns. And Season Finale.
    Aug 19 2020
    Welcome to LEVEL TWO. Bob and Kalena are bringing the HEAT today. And by heat, I mean they hold Quinn to the fire about some stupid anime titles. It's Level Two Time, since Quinn graduated and ascended, and the titles didn't get better, they just got stupid. Up first, we hit Listeners, followed by BEM. BEM. They gave Quinn BEM. Last but not least, actually scratch that, it is the least, a total nothing of a title, it is just K. The title is just, "K" for real. For level Two, Bob and Kalena did Quinn super dirty. It ends in violence.

  • Episode 10: Ascension, At Last or, Bob's Good Baja Men Joke Revealed
    Aug 13 2020
    It's Ascension Day. Welcome back to Dot Plot Ascension, an anime podcast, kinda. We take a little dip into a few different shows this week, starting with dunking on the intro to Tokyo Ghoul  √A, because it sucks. Then we make light of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, where Quinn delves into Fairy Tale lore and makes a princess a Bloodivore. Afterwards, Bob shares a SAO-centric Gunma Truth with the group. Next up, Boogiepop and Others, which awakens some kind of deep memory of anime from yesteryear. We then fall into a weird hole of Las Miserables themed MUGEN thing, it gets kinda strange there. But Dude. After that? We hit GOLD. Kalena serves up a title so PERFECT, I don't think our hosts have ever grazed so close to the sun as with Midnight Occult Civil Servants. Viewers, this is an episode for the record books. Get Ready for LEVEL 2.
