Leo, Bcom, and Kat are back to cover week 7 of the Fall 2018 anime season! This episode Kat was a bit under the weather, but she powered through it to deliver your anime fix! We talked about the flaws of computer CD slot design and sneaky marketing tricks in the latest episode of The Girl in Twilight. Golden Kamuy gave us beary bad nightmares and fleshed out another of its side-characters with Ogata’s incredible backstory, which led us into a discussion of the psychology of psychopaths. We warned the listeners about the perils of listening to Evanescence as pre-game hype music in our section on Run With the Wind, where they finally run their first track meet, and Leo and Kat break down the mistakes in Kakeru’s race strategy. Sakuta’s expectations of our favorite Bunny Girl started to rub Kat the wrong way, and the explanations of the show’s physics phenomena are becoming even more ridiculous. Ash got under Dino’s skin in one of Banana Fish’s most explicit monologues to date. The decision to modernize the show, compared to the manga, has also led to some very awkward political commentary. Zombie Land Saga saved a bad C.G.I. dance performance with a shockingly funny twist. Karakuri Circus continued to set the bar for this season’s best animation with some excellent action scenes, but the characters began to get a bit too emo and overpowered for our taste. Finally, we picked up with the newest addition to our lineup, Bloom Into You, which kicked off the second half of its season by exploring Sayaka’s feelings, and introducing a new couple that can help guide her through the emotional turmoil she’s been enduring, even though their own relationship isn’t without its troubles. Leo thought it needed more karate chops.
