Kat, Leo, and Bcom return to discuss week 5 of the Winter 2019 Anime season. We kick off the podcast with some brief thoughts about the results of the Crunchyroll anime awards, which we obviously don’t agree with. Afterwards we chat about some of the nonsense we’ve been up to before jumping into Mob Psycho 100 II. Episode 5 was a showcase for some of the most spectacular animation in a TV anime in quite some time. The Run With the Wind boys take one step closer to the Hakone Ekiden, which took Kakeru turning into a glowing blue god of running to accomplish. It’s a fairly uneventful week in Kemurikusa so we breeze past that and jump into The Promised Neverland where we re-evaluate our suppositions regarding future developments of the show, and poke some fun at Norman and Ray in the process. The Golden Experience boys struggle to avoid frostbite when they face off with Ghiaccio on the road to Venezia. Leo can’t believe Giorno didn’t think of transforming them into Water Bears. But, everything up until this point was just an appetizer. The main course is Domestic Girlfriend episode 5. Bcom believes it’s possibly the greatest episode of anime yet envisioned. Mob Psycho tried, but it was like administering your medicine orally. Sure, it’ll do the trick eventually, but if you want fast-acting anime relief, you need to go to the source. Natsuo needs only support Rui by supplying supreme suppositories superbly to suppress his stepsister’s supplication. It’s a super good episode. We move onto Kaguya where Chika’s love advice involves reaffirming that they do indeed live in a society, and she will raise these boys to become respectable men. We finish off with the depressing first half of a two-part Dororo episode where Hyakkimaru finds his first love in the soothing presence of Mio, the protector of an orphanage ravaged by the ongoing wars.
