Do you want the bad news, or the bad news? The best we can do is some neutral news, is that okay? Okay, we do have a few bits of good licensing news! The bad news is the stuff being licensed is going to be harder to find because the traditional retail markets have been sacked. What we have predicted has come to pass and, my friends, the future kinda sucks! We discuss the news from AX 26, Sony's war on physical media, and some of the not top tier shows that are being watched right now. We are saving the top shelf stuff for the next episode though, because we'll all need a good drink after this one.

Summertime, and the anime is fresh, hot, and full of wonder. We have news from the cons and expos, including Gundam and Discotek news (but not at the same time.) We have some strong shows this season, both new and returning, and some shows which are turning out to be very divisive, if I do say so. We have divers and mermaids (but not at the same time), hoards and robots (but also not at the same time), cats and dragons (yes at the same time!) Plus recommendations! What are you watching this summer?

Have you heard? Smoking is out, freebasing hardcore drugs is in. (Only hardcore drugs, pot will still get you exiled.) We discuss what exactly is going on in Japan and if they need an intervention and detox, along with our final thoughts on the spring anime season. Demon Realms, Witch Hats, Dr. Stones, Icey Ramparts, and so much more! Also news, recommendations, and for the love of all that is good do not invest in Tokyopop.
