Nobody expected summer to be this stacked! Seriously, there may just be too many shows. The usual gang is here to talk over the 2025 anime summer season which features new and returning favs. We talk about The Summer Hikaru Died, Dandadan, City, Takopi’s Original Sin, Ruri Rocks, Silent Witch, and more! Plus recommendations and news! (Please try to ignore my cat’s opinions on the season, she is not qualified to offer opinions on shows she didn’t watch.)

Kestrel  has survived yet another massive Anime Expo. He has returned to tell the tale and share the sights, the sounds, the smells of the expo! (Well, okay, hopefully not the smells.) We have announcements, impressions, good news, bad news, and just... all the things! Plus some recommendations.

Time to check in on the Spring season as it approaches its penultimate episodes. Cain, Kestrel, Brandon, and Kate talk about all the shows they are watching, or should be watching. Certainly a lot of death in this batch of episodes, isn’t there? We discuss Apothecary Diaries, Anne Shirley, To Be Hero X, Gundam GQuuuuuux, and a few other shows. So many shows, so little time! Plus we have a Chopper, ladies and gentlefolks! Also, recommendations! What are you watching?

It’s been awhile since we did a really good list episode! Today’s topic is Anime Character Designers. What are character designers, what do they do, and why is it so important? Who are our favorites? Who are YOUR favorites? Perhaps Akio Sugino, or Masashi Ando? Maybe even... *gasp* CLAMP? We have answers for all that and more in this episode!

Shakedown, 1979?  Nope, 2025! Everything old is new again this spring, and the usual crew of Kestrel, Cain, Kate, and Brandon take in a stacked season of new old shows! We’ve got a Gundam that quacks, we’ve got Anne Shirley being a red-head, parkour Lazarus, To Be Hero X, and so much more! Truly a season with something for everyone no matter what your tastes might be. Plus one highly anticipated bit of news and recommendations. What are you watching this season?
