Soul Mates! - The Art and Design of Gacha Game Characters! – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, an Italian Episode, we zoom in on our featured Food and Operator, pink-petaled playboy photographer Prosciutto di Parma, and the Fake Japanese/Fake Italian/Fake Alice Liddell Suzuran, and ask a concerned question: Wait, are there child soldiers? And possibly pig soldiers? Then, we look at the freaks, Focaccia, Crepe, and Shamare, asking, well... Hey, do all these guys kinda suck, actually?

Happy Vowentine's Day! Er, Valentine's Day. In this very special bonus episode that all of you donated $1000 to charity to make us record, we watch the prequel to... beloved? Let's go with a tentative beloved, anime movie Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: Licht: The Nameless Girl, IN PERSON, and let me tell you, we have a lot of questions: Is this movie good? Is it even really a movie? What does any of this have to do with Prisma Illya? Why does it look like that? What's with ball? Will there actually be a vow? What's with his body being made of swords? And most importantly, will we ever ultimately reach that most hallowed destination?

That's right, I'm talking about Germany. Please watch along on your favorite legal website, and let's find out together.

In this episode, our fourth Limbus Company episode, in which we get extremely into the weeds about modernist korean poetry, we look at the scientist and ideally odd and strange man Yi Sang, and ask a question about someone that we regard as that precious: Who, or what, in this image is Yi Sang's wife? And are they about to bite him randomly all over, or...?

Yi Sang, born Kim Haegyŏng, 1910-1937, was a prolific and influential Korean writer and poet during the Japanese imperial occupation of Korea. An outstanding member of the literary group Guinhoe, or the League of Nine, Yi Sang was known for his biting wit and his distinctly detatched and self-critical autobiographical style, and is an influential figure in Korean literature today.

Soul Mates! is proud to present this reading of one of his most accomplished works, The Wings, published shortly before his tragic death at 26. Featuring an original soundtrack by Pandora Grace, we ask you to join us for this timeless piece of writing, about a man so self obsessed that he loses all perspective on the world around him, only to be overwhelmed once beginning to gain it back. We hope you enjoy, and we hope you are inspired to seek out more works by this great artist.

In this episode, our first ever first part of a two-parter, we zoom in on the first part of Yui Yagi, estrogen-infused perpetual shy girl with a poor sense of taste but a great taste in overcoats, and ask a question that considering our proclivities we really should know the answer to: What does spironolactone do?

In this episode, in which we cover SEVEN outfits, we zoom in on the perpetually terrified specifically of the viewer shrine maiden Mai Aiahara, who prompts a very spooky question, when it isn't even Halloween yet: Are we sure that this girl is like, alive? Flesh and blood, and not a mere wandering spirit?

In this episode, fueled by an anime watching experience that was certainly, uhm, well, anyway, we zoom in on Washizu Iwao from mahjong anime Akagi, who plays mahjong with your blood, but not necessarily with your heart because he's kinda, well, anyway, we ask a very geometric question: What are the shapes on this man's face actually supposed to be? Why does he look so different sometimes and exactly the same others?
