On this episode, hosts Dennis, Karen, & Kate are joined by friend of the show Pat Loika for part two of our Bastard!! (1992) review! As with all new guests to the show, we get a little bit of Pat's anime origin before the main topic. Some talking points include picky vampire habits, the passage of time, Christopher Nolan's filmography, raising a lover, comparing Arshes Nei to the other famous anime dark elf, a 500 yen promise, and a 30 year payoff.

Special thanks to our guest Pat (@patloikagram & @patloika)! Give him a follow on social media and check out his podcast The Pat Chat!

On this episode, join Diana, Dennis, Kate, Garrett, & Ed for the season 1 finale of Fushigi Yugi, covering episodes 23-26. All of the Suzaku Warriors have finally gathered plus 1 (wait, what...), and the melodrama just gets thicker. Tamahome is back to his old ways for a bit, Miaka has accidentally unlocked Hard Mode for the "summon Suzaku quest," friend zoning and promise rings, twin powers activate, river wall discrepancies, only one person freaking out over polaroid pictures, and of course, resurrecting a Tom Cardy joke from a previous episode.

On this episode, join Kate, Diana, Garrett, Ed, & Dennis for the next batch of Fushigi Yugi drama, covering episodes 14 through 17. More Suzaku warriors found, but somehow, the Seiryuu side isn't panicking. Nakago's nastier side starts showing, the boyfriend shirt returns, one-man knock-knock jokes, Mitsukake's power cooldown, some sort of ninja man-bat, and flute that body.

On this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Karen, and returning guest Chika Supreme for our third Fushigi Yugi episode! We're halfway through season 1/red boxset, and while Miaka hasn't found another Suzaku warrior yet, we do meet our first Seiryuu one. Other talking points include fun translation for the dub, easily broken promises, sexy sax AND sexy harpsichord, plus some Law & Order: SVU.

In addition, we have a content warning. Some of the episodes we cover discuss the topic of attempted suicide.
