Kat, Leo and Bcom discuss the 8th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! This week the Dumbbell girls climb a haunted mountain and, like meat, it went bad. The Maidens explore how many confessions they can pack into just one episode. Nezuko’s cute shrinking powers beg the question of whether she can grow to the size of a Gundam and stomp all the demons underneath her giant feet. This week’s episode of Astra turns into that one comic panel of Spider-Man pointing at other Spider-Man, as the show begins to embrace the ridiculousness of life. Dr. STONE somehow gets us into an argument about limited antibiotic resistance and superbugs, before arguing even more about whether Suika can keep the watermelon on her head for the entire length of the show with no explanation. Given finally delves into Mafuyu’s tragic backstory, as it sets up for a performance, which will likely determine whether the show sinks or swims. In Vinland Saga, Askeladd teaches us all about how to win friends and influence people, using the knowledge that everyone around him is a slave to something, which makes it possible to use them to fulfil his own ambitions. Finally, the Grammy Awards still exist on Mars and are still boring and irrelevant, but luckily rapper Denzel Curry is here to give the show some much-needed edginess.

On Given *SPOILER* in the first episode yuki satos bf is seen above sato as he looks up. and in Episode 8 again he sees him that way... implying that Yuki hung himself after drinking a lot after his fight with Mafuyu.
