We pivot to a more blatantly-on-theme show for Pride month on this episode of the podcast: we watched three episodes ofYuri Kuma Arashi, from one of the creators of Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's confusing! We also talk about jukebox musicals, Pappyland, and David Lynch.

Complex, stylistic, sad, and not very gay: these words may describe many things, but they are also how we feel about Paradise Kiss after six episodes. On this episode of the podcast we cover episodes 4-6 of the show and decide we need to move on to something else before Pride '25 is through. We also talk about cold seaside towns, music we'll always love, school admittance tests, smizing, and the city of Chicago. |

Happy Pride, everyone. We take a rare look into the world of fashion anime this week on the pod, as we cover the first three episodes of Paradise Kiss, based on a josei manga by Ai Yazawa (of Nana fame). We also talk about stupid kid arguments, Genesis, Hook, UK slang, Terrace House, and essay manga. |

We take a look at the end of 86 Part 1 and the beginning of 86 Part 2 on the podcast this week. Both parts came out in 2021 and are basically the same season, but, you know how weird TV anime is. It feels like not much happens in this three eps, but they hint at more to come? Will we actually finish this show? Join our Discord server below and VOTE. We also talk about saucy sandwiches, Dido songs, The Shawshank Redemption, Blue Prince, and Full Metal Panic. |
