Main Discussion This episode gave us some more depth to Manatsu's character, and we contemplate Elda's future character arc. We also ponder what other weaknesses the characters may display in future episodes. Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Ciel has arrived, and she's both fantastic and somewhat dumb- unable to connect Ichika to Cure Whip. Futari Wa PreCure The duo is attacked by piccolo's doppleganger, who can steal souls? Also, the fairies almost got a divorce.

Main Discussion Laura is going to school! She's full of confidence, ready to rule, and the swim team is coming to recruit her! Well, it doesn't go as planned, but we love the return of gremlin Laura.  Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Bibury is here! With her vore puppet Joel will continue to call Kermit, no matter how much the show insists his name is Ill (or Iru). Futari Wa PreCure Kat loves the "kicky jump" - if there's an official term for this, please let Kat know! Also this episode is about Kiriya and... love letters?

Surprise, it's Sanji! Chatting with the Hosts John's been playing Monster Hunter Rise, and has run out of things to do while he waits for more content! We also pick his brain for which monster is his favorite. He cheats and picks two.  Joel really enjoyed Hbomberguy’s deep dive into the history of the anti-vax movement in Vaccines A Measured Response, it's long but very in-depth and informative.  Kat has been watching dog-training videos, and has fallen in love with Frankie to the Moon  Main DiscussionThis episode gets a little weird w

Main Discussion We got our fifth PreCure of the season, Cure La Mer! There are elements of the story that we didn't like, but overall she has a good design! We predict how she might fit into the school in future episodes, of course Futari Wa PreCure Honoka is both an excellent wingman and a good big sister. Nagisa, on the otherhand, demonstrates how not to try and court someone. Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Rio has been defeated and Ichika is a great lead cure. Joel really liked this episode, and Kat is a big Bibury fan.

Main Discussion We discover that Laura is a food thief, and the PreCure can breathe underwater! Beyond that, though, we discuss inclusion in PreCure, and the criticism that it should "do more to appeal to boys/men." And more discussion of Laura's big decision she'll have to make next episode. We can't wait to see how it plays out! Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Yukari is the best, and Rio is seriously trying to seem creepy and evil around the girls. This is how you get your cover blown, Rio!

This podcast episode covers episodes 459-465 Timestamps 2:58 Chatting with the Hosts 21:14 Main discussion Chatting with the Hosts We're super excited to talk more PreCure in our June Bonus Episode, and we loved the episodes we got to watch! We finished Kamen Rider Drive. It's Kat's favorite Kamen Rider season she's seen, though both your hosts were a little disappointed by some elements of the finale.   Joel finished Invincible, and though he liked the world building and many of the characters, he found the violence a little too much to bear and probably won't watch season 2.   Kat is continuing to read Six of Crows, and thinks it's a near-perfect heist story. You should absolutely check this out. Main Discussion Well folks, the Marineford Arc is off to a turbo-charged start! You have Whitebeard's devil fruit alongside Marco's, Jozu's, and Akainu's. You have admirals and captains facing each other in battle, and the descendant of Oars himself on the battle field. It's high octane, and we get more from

Main Discussion We've got body switching shenanigans, featuring Minori and Laura. We appreciate how this develops Laura's character, and we ponder what other swaps we might want to see. In addition to swapping places, we discuss why Minori and Laura work well as a pair for the series.

Joel has started Invincible. He thinks the world is super interesting, but the action and gore is a little over the top for his tastes. Also Joel has been playing Crash 4. If you liked previous Crash games, you'll like this one as well, but it can be a fairly difficult platformer if you feel the need to 100% it. Main Discussion For this part of the episode we very briefly talk about the episodes in question- but find them incredibly lacking in content. So instead we quickly shift over to our own look back on the series as well as into t

Main Discussion Joel's patience is running thin on the episodic nature of Tropical Rouge, but this episode was still fun! Sango and Laura had great moments and Laura's leadership is especially on display. Also, we're feeling sorry for Elda, won't someone play with her? Tweets in a Bottle We demand a kururun plushie, and Asuka's confusion in the bib is amazing

This podcast episode covers episodes 447 - 452 Timestamps 1:55 Chatting with the Hosts 15:39 Main discussion Chatting with the Hosts Shadow and Bone- both a Book and a Netflix series. Leigh Bardugo does solid World Building, it’s based off of Russia which is neat, and her magic system is pretty unique Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song-  a story with time travel and an AI Idol - why would we need to say more? Pretty Boy Detective Club – Nice and fluffy, pretty to look at, good jokes. Kat wonders if the main character may be trans? But it hasn’t come up yet in the series where she’s seen Zombie Land Saga – Season 2 has a weird start, but we both enjoyed the first season. Not discussed in the episode, but we have enjoyed the season as it has gone on. Monster Hunter Rise – Joel found the Thunder Serpent Narwa fight the most interesting, but the game isn't suited to his tastes Main Discussion Luffy and company finally make their escape from the great prison! Mr. 2 proves he is above and beyond the MVP of this entire arc,

Thanks to trillionbones on Reddit for the submission! Main Discussion (Real quick link to Monopoly Mermaid Monday, for which Joel is willing to give thanks and praise) This episode is about podbroadcasting, and that takes up the majority of our discussion. Also, please do stick around after our outro for a sweet surprise! Tweets in a Bottle Once again from trillionbones, we talk about Hana's introduction in Hugtto PreCure and how it's a perfect way to meet the main character and grasp her character.

This podcast episode covers episodes 441 - 446 Timestamps 2:09 Chatting with the Hosts 12:12 Main discussion Chatting with the Hosts Jade War by Fonda Lee: Wuxia fantasy series about two gangs at war with each other. Kat likes the character who murders, which she assures Joel is very specifically one character and not many. Fruits Basket Season 3 – Joel doesn’t necessarily think all villains need be redeemed, but is interested to see where the story goes. Elantris by Brandon Sanderson – A story about mortals becoming gods, until the magic turns from a blessing to a curse. Our May 2021 bonus episode will cover an in-depth review, but it's good! We always find something to appreciate about Brandon's works Monster Hunter Rise – Joel doesn’t think it’s new-player friendly, but if you like Monster Hunter or have some friends to play with it's a good time killer. Main Discussion This episode is all about the characters! Blackbeard represents the Dark side of Freedom, which contrasts nicely with Luffy. We discuss Cr

Timestamps 2:36 Discussion Question 7:25 Main Discussion 27:38 Crack Theories Discussion Question We talk what pokemon the Tropical Club members would raise. Main Discussion We discuss the Tropical Club facing the Disciplinary Committee, as well as Laura's rawest line she's delivered so far! We were also intrigued by Futari Wa PreCure's 12th episode, though the execution could have been even better. Plus, a brief discussion of the Sukeban (girl delinquent) movement and the Bancho character archetype. Will the Tropical Club break bad later in the season?

This podcast episode covers episodes 433 - 440 Timestamps 2:31 Chatting with the Hosts 14:15 Main discussion 49:50 Thoughts From the Crew Chatting with the Hosts We finished Re:Zero, the ending wasn't as crisp as season 1, but that could be because the season was split in half. It's still a great show. If you haven't heard of the debacle that was Promised Neverland Season 2, please know you should probably skip it. Check out Jazzy Guns on Youtube, it's how Joel experienced the later Danganronpa games second hand. Speaking of, Joel also watched the Danganronpa anime- and he really liked the ending, and it ties the first 2 games together very well Joel has also been listening to a lot of Cam Steady on youtube lately- and he recommends the Eevee rap cypher, the Pokemon Trainer cypher, and the Among Us Airship battle We also have more Youtube recommendations from Aunty Donna (occasional strong language warning from them)! Joel loves Chuffed and Chop Chop, and Kat recommends Morning Brown Main Discussion We meet t

Timestamps 1:39 Discussion Question 5:55 Main Discussion 26:37 Crack Theories Discussion Question Who is the standout character so far? Or perhaps we should have asked, who Tropica-shines the most? Main Discussion We largely focus on the broad question of whether we like the episodic nature of Tropical Rouge, and whether that makes each episode forgettable, or more interesting. We also take a moment to contemplate what we might have guessed the Tropical Club's sand castle would look like.
