281. Strictly Chatting
We’re strictly chatting. For this chat, we discuss the My Hero Academia OVA, questionable decisions by Crunchyroll, Zelda leaks, and Sony going from the “golden child” to the “greatest villain” of video games. Plus, Courtney talks about how freaky Orochimaru is in her Naruto Shippuden update. While you’re listening to this episode, why not pair it up with a delicious snack from a #TokyoTreat box?

280. Rent-a-Girlfriend (S4)
We review the fourth season of Rent-a-Girlfriend. By some miracle, we are still watching this anime. And if you continue to be on this journey with us, we thank you. We discuss everyone saying they’re going to do something but never actually doing it, the lack of the spice, the over-abundance of side conversations, and what the point of this season even was.

279. Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun (S1)
We review the first season of Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun. An unexpected setting meets a unique animation style, giving us a sleeper hit for this year. We discuss whether or not we like the way this anime looks, how we wish the main character was more of the main character, the excitement that comes along with the strategizing, and and how the villain’s ruthlessness under a cheery facade makes us absolutely love to hate him.

278. Summer 2026 Anime First Impressions
We discuss our spoiler-free Summer 2026 anime first impressions. Lots of romance anime, with a few unique shows mixed in. We share our thoughts on a new and surprising KyoAni work, the return of several shows we’ve enjoyed, a not-so-dumpster-fire step-sibling relationship, adults smoking, and cats smoking in the wild card anime of this season.

277. Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Part 1)
We review the first half of Daemons of the Shadow Realm. From the creator of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood comes a new story with an Edward Elric look-alike. We discuss the difference between daemons and demons, how a lot happens but nothing happens in this first half, and question who the actual villain is of this story.

276. Witch Hat Atelier (S1)
We review the first season of Witch Hat Atelier. This seemingly cozy, fluffy magic anime is surprisingly honest, real, and full of mystery. We discuss the magic system rooted in logic, the witch girls that fit various dere types, the cliffhanger ending, and what the eff is going on with Qifrey.

275. Strictly Chatting
We’re strictly chatting. With a lot of topics to cover, we chat about tornadoes, the Pokemon Fossil Museum, announcements from the video game showcases, and FIFA World Cup memes.

274. Oshi No Ko (S3)
We review the third season of Oshi no Ko. The series finally strikes the delicate balance between showbiz bashing and plot progression this season, especially when there’s all sorts of controversy and scandal and anime scheming abound. We take a look at how these circumstances, intertwined in the ongoing murder mystery, help close the loop on Aqua and Ruby’s true motivations and true selves. Also we start seeing stars in our eyes trying to figure out the stars in their eyes. While you’re listening to this episode, why not pair it up with a delicious snack from a #TokyoTreat box?
