We bring to you non-stop anime this week! With the one season's end and another's beginning, Mary and Thomas take the time to reflect on some of the Summer's finales and choose some of their favorites for the Fall 2017 anime season. There's so much anime packed into this episode, it's hard to keep straight!

Let's play some games! And we're not just talking about Gamers. Can we describe anime series in five words or less? Will Mary get to watch the new Fastest Finger First episode? Will Thomas learn any of the characters' names? Will Spooky catch the fly she's chasing? There's only one was for you to find out!

GENRE CHANGE! We talk about anime where people...don't beat each other up? It's time for some ROMCOM! Rom coms and Japanese checkers, what an interesting episode we have tonight!

The battle is on! We talk mainstream battle manga and how the newest titles are similar and different from the legendary Big 3! Mary also talks about the Netflix Death Note movie and a new shonen favorite, the Promised Neverland. But we can't pretend our shoujo fans! Some Ouran High School Host Club and K-on! is also headed your way on this action packed ep!

Thomas is back with a bang as he brings research and hard facts to the age old question, is anime getting better or worse? Also, we dive into the watery world of Gargantia of the Verdurous Planet, our usual weeklies and...a lot of oppai!

Sometimes, manga doesn't translate to anime the way we thought. We talk about that! And we mix things up in our usual anime reviews. Instead, we play a little game. Plus we dig into one of our favorite anime movies! But wait...where's Thomas?

In a week filled with down episodes, we take a sec to recall how we're feeling about the Summer season so far and our favorites #TSUREDURECHILDRENROCKS. Also, we touch on anime that has disappointed us over the years. Shows that looked great...but actually sucked. What a shame =(

Interview episode! We talk Interviews with Monster Girls and interview our friend and 2D animator John @JohnnyBoges about all sorts of anime and gaming. We finally get a long conversation about Boruto and its potential, jump into about 2 dozen different anime (See the tags) and relive some of our anime glory days. This episode is chalk full of stuff you don't wanna miss!

A lot of great weekly anime this time around, including a surprising performance from Gamers! Speaking of surprising, we talk about some anime that really surprised us with their quality! Aaaaaaand, how can you not like Shelter by Porter Robinson?

Ahoy! We bring ye a pirate episode! But probably not in the way you expect. Yes, of course we talk about One Piece but what about anime pirating? We also fight over minute details in Koi to Uso, wrangle the more Haikyuu greatness and talk about how Boruto is pretty decent all while Thomas munches on a half eaten pizza!

KOI TO USO! Mary binges the episodes right before the pod and freaks out about the romance and drama of her favorite summer series so far. We also dig into the shortcomings of one of our favorite anime/manga of all time, Katekyo Hitman Reborn. A lot of anime gets thrown around this episode so make sure you keep up!
