Off of a whim, we decided to do a podcast in-person with a scuffed setup. It may reward those who wanted to see a podcast last month. Due to a rough schedule, we couldn't do one in July. However, we have a lot to talk about and exciting new topics to dive into. Hope you enjoy it!

With graduation passing and summertime growing near, the boys finally return with a podcast episode. Graduation was a blast and now we hit the sun! However, since we don't go out much, we can only talk about what we know best. Anime!

Graduation and the end of the school year are just around the corner. Finals and other obligations have taken priority and made this episode very last minute. Not having a concrete topic in mind, we bounce around ideas revolving around graduation and how we act. Anime is one of the major factors in our lives that has both changed and ruined our social lives. We read too much romance manga and watch too much romance anime.

Looks like another anime-based episode for once! Today we discuss Jujutsu Kaisen and how we feel about the show. This isn't a rating for the show, just a discussion about it. On top of that, we share our feelings about Shaft's newest project: RWBY: Ice Queendom. The episode was intended for JJK, but ultimately it also became about RWBY.

After 18 months of having a podcast, we have finally all watched a single anime. Odd Taxi was an interesting show that we enjoyed. We wanted to take the time to talk about Odd Taxi and how we felt about the anime. Being an "anime" podcast and having watched it recently, this was the topic that we decided on. Maybe in the future, we will watch a show together and have an occasional podcast like this. Anyways if you haven't already go and watch some Odd Taxi.

Last year, we had a podcast with Ryan. This year we decided to bring Ryan back for another February discussion! As the title suggests, the king is back! However, instead of talking about romance, we wanted to talk about Lunar New Year! Like always, we do pivot the podcast to anime, but hopefully, our party stories were enough to make you guys awake.
