In the latter half of the program, in the segment "Iwai's Recommended Winter Anime He Watched," where Iwai talks about recommended works following the previous episode, 'Kaya-chan Isn't Scary' and 'Ikoku Nikki' were introduced. 'Kaya-chan Isn't Scary' is an action horror with kindergartener Kaya as the protagonist, who fights against grotesque monsters called "kai." Iwai passionately discussed its appeal, saying, "It's solid as a horror anime, and Kaya-chan's transformation is something else." This work is currently airing on ABEMA every Sunday at 11 PM.
Next, the heartwarming age-gap cohabitation tale 'Ikoku Nikki' was also introduced. About this work, which depicts the life of protagonist Asa, who lost her parents, and her aunt Makio, who took her in, Iwai explained, "Makio doesn't treat Asa by trying to mold her and raise her as a 'child.' From Asa's perspective, she's only ever interacted with 'adults who protect her' like parents and teachers, so she feels uncomfortable with this..." When Iwai passionately discussed a scene that particularly moved him, Nakamura showed his emotional response, saying, "Your explanation is so good I'm about to cry," and Sora Tokui, who is also a fan of the work, praised it highly, saying, "When you watch it, you'll definitely cry!" 'Ikoku Nikki' is currently airing on ABEMA every Friday at 26:00 (2 AM).
In addition, in a segment introducing noteworthy content that seems likely to be adapted into anime, they featured 'Yoshida Lemon Drops', a romantic comedy set at Kyoto University, and the studio was lively as Nakamura and Izumi performed a live reading. 'SHIBUYA ANIME BASE' #76 is currently available for free catch-up streaming on ABEMA.
