Made in Abyss got a sequel movie. We watched Made in Abyss. We watched the sequel movie thusly. I'm in the middle of my journey of self introspection so this is your description for this one.

We're taking just three words that we get from a random word generator and trying to think up and make the hottest of seasonal anime with just those phrases! Why? Cause it felt like a good idea and we couldn't watch Dawn of the Deep Soul due to personal issues! Anyways, it's late and I'm tired. No long description this week. Be the description you want to see in this world! Imagine your own sarcastic description! Be free!

You would think that the shorter the anime then the quicker the suffering would be, right? Well, Bikini Warriors, an animated ad for a figure line that feels relentlessly bloated at 4 minute long per episode, would beg to differ and it is VERY good at begging. This started as a gag of a bet to watch on a previous episode and now it's here and no one is happy. We probably only really watched maybe two episodes of an anime all in all with Bikini Warriors but it's about the quality of time spent not the quantity and that quality of time is nonexistent. Listen in to this episode and find out why Bikini Warrior  is more powerful than your average pharmaceutical at stopping boners and all those other episode description things I usually put. If Bikini Warriors isn't going to give me a good time then no one is getting a good description. Good bye.

You can't finish everything that you start and anime is no exception. Maybe the anime is just too boring, maybe the anime looks just that bad, and sometimes maybe it's made by Studio Deen so it's both (this excludes Konosuba don't kill me)? We're going over all the anime we just couldn't finish in this episode, making bold declarations no one is ready for, criticizing each other for not finishing anime, and we even (inadvertently) brought on a special guest for this episode: my Google Nest that accidentally played some Gorillaz. It wasn't even a song I liked. We have a strong commitment to excellence on this show. It just sucks we're not very good at commitment.

Hi! How are you? That's great. I'm glad to hear that. So before we start, Ro also has a podcast called The One True Podcast and I was originally gonna say this was "feat. Ro of The One True Podcast and Storm" but that felt a little insulting to Storm so go check out The One True Podcast's links here before you even listen to this episode cause it's probably like two billion times better than our stuff but that's generally true of every podcast that collabs with us so... yeah! Anyways, anime conventions! They're happening again! With Otacon setting off the first domino for many other anime conventions to fall over and return, we thought we'd talk about that and paneling at conventions! Why? Cause... we wanted to do that, I guess. I mean, I definitely want to get on stage and talk about the top 10 siscons in anime in front of strangers for them to ridicule me and judge me in an almost biblical sense but I'm also kind of into that just hurting myself over and over thing. And little sister characters. I'm a big supporter of family. And family relationships. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Basically one thing led to another and we have Ro (of The One True Podcast) and Storm (of being alive or something) on to talk about their paneling experiences and anime conventions and all that deep junk! Think of it like Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee or whatever except it's Weebs in a Discord Channel Getting Dehydrated. Maybe we'll do more? Maybe we won't? Go check out the link above to see all of Ro's stuff and check out her podcast and if you see Storm on the street then say hey or something.

The final Rebuild of Evangelion film finally decided to come out so we're gonna talk about the whole film series because we like Evangelion well enough. Some of us like it more than others but we think it's pretty cool and it's an anime that Audrey actually kind of wanted to watch so whatever gets her to watch something, you know? I have a wicked headache right now so I'm kind of at a loss for how to proceed with this. Did you know that an estimated 26% of people on this Earth have never experienced a headache? I don't know where I'm getting that number but I think all those people who haven't had a headache are probably babies. Not like in an insulting derogatory way of "WHAT A BABY" but more of that they are probably actual infants and or children. Prove me wrong, science. Anyways, we reviewed the first two Rebuild films in this episode and next week we'll do the rest!

Yeah, I totally used you title idea, Audrey. As we watch more and more anime in quick succession (be it willingly or not) we realize that burnout is ever looming overhead as we press on into the anime abyss. What can we do to avoid it? Can we avoid it? In this episode we break down just what you can do to dodge the bullet to the head of your anime watching hobby by not watching anime! I mean, sometimes the poison is the cure? We break down just what we do to avoid burnout and the things that just really exhaust us with anime while we also break down our thoughts on the Crunchyroll buyout. It's a discussion heavy episode! That's what the kids like, right?

The summer is hot but the summer anime is even hotter! Yeah, not really. It's just a Matt and Amelia episode this week as they talk all about the first big chunk of seasonal anime in this episode including Remake Our Life,Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom X, How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, Night Head 2041, Aquatope on White Sand, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S, and Life Lessons with Uramichi Onii-san! It's wild tangent night at the podcast bar and we hope you'll order drinks for this round or something (I haven't had very much sleep so I hope that makes sense or whatever I don't care) and chill out with this episode! You can catch more of Amelia on her Youtube and you can listen to her podcast Otaku Host Club! Click the linky links if you want to just fast travel there or something.
