Bcom, Leo, and Kat and here to make some midseason cuts this Summer 2018 season because some shows majorly let us down. Luckily, there are some replacement-worthy anime to look forward to! Our discussion about Free! got us sidetracked into a bet about who would better survive the world’s hottest curry in New York City, Kat or Bcom. Spoiler alert: Bcom would die. Kat was shocked by Ryouko’s take-charge attitude in Sirius the Jaeger. Leo details all of the similarities between Akira Tachibana from After the Rain and Eiji from Banana Fish, which is very enlightening. Luckily, we are saved from Ash’s hardcore child abuse by a few episodes of Harukana Receive that shake the moe richter scale, while still managing to get us hype for volleyball. Revue Starlight gave us more background on Mahiru, and resolved the partnership between Kaoruko and Futaba, which gives us yet another power couple who may eventually face off against Karen and Hikari. Cells at Work! likened allergies to the apocalypse, which is a metaphor we think anyone with seasonal allergies can wholeheartedly agree with. Asobi Asobase shows us the dangers of spinning your pen, the wonders of android boyfriends, and “French kisses,” interspersed with amazing stories of Kat’s trysts with engineers in the bedroom. Planet With shows us how justice is nothing compared to the power of clogs in the right hands, with a midseason arc finale that gets us really excited for the future of the series. We Rent Tsukumogami continued to make us happy that we only rented it, and didn’t buy. And, finally, Attack on Titan continues to pull back the curtains on the epic backstory of the various bloodlines who vie for power in the capital. All in all, I think this episode of the podcast was a coup!
