And with that, Akagi transitions to a hard mahjong show, which will most likely alienate anyone who isn't really into riichi mahjong. It's still a tense show, with a good - if not oddly familiar - soundtrack. We talk about episodes 4-6 this week. We also talk about The Steve Miller Band, phone numbers without area codes, Ice Ice Baby, and Oh You Thought This Was a Rabbit? | Support us on Patreon | | |||

Who said older movies are too slow? This week on the pod we watched 1983's Golgo 13: The Professional, the first anime adaptation of hitman Golgo 13 and the first anime to use (beautiful, smooth) computer graphics.

[Go to 17:14 for SBR Episode 2-ish talk] In a strange twist of fate, we got episode 2 of Steel Ball Run a lot earlier than we thought. It's pretty out there, but after the ending of part 6, all bets must be off! We may just have to consider this part of Araki's strange genius. Besides covering episodes 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 of SBR, we also talk about Alyssa Liu's first pitch, game tutorials, what goes on in Netflix boardrooms, and what animes will tide us over while we wait for SBR to bring us back to the old West. | | |||
