Plus the news, because there sure was a...

Before we get buried under a pile of AnimeNYC impressions we get the latest news out of the way in this here podcast. Kestrel and Kate sit Cain down (or is it the other way around?) for a live-action debriefing after his binge on as many anime to Hollywood live-action adaptations as he could stomach.

Otakon 2021 was the first major anime convention since 2019, and it brought our three main boys together for the first time in person. Meanwhile, Kestrel got the opportunity to talk with several guests, each with a main role in the English dub of the biggest anime of the past year, Jujutsu Kaisen. Our late-night ramblings in the intro have some saucy content, so if that's not what you're looking f...
