There’s no point in sugarcoating it, it’s been a rotten cold weekend already, either due to the widespread ice storm or the more vicious “ICE” storm happening. Things are still tough and rough, all we can really do is watch over ourselves and our family and friends and neighbors so that we are all kept safe and warm from the tyranny of this brutal winter, in both senses of the word. And if this dumb show about anime and manga can make things a bit easier for you out there, then we’ll call that a job well done. For said dumb show, we’ve got plenty to talk about from the industry over the past few weeks, from the crossover appeal of Uma Musume and American football taking shape to a pair of 80s mecha legacy titles gearing up for their new entries, as well as plenty of “fun with manga/LN synopses” runthroughs and a notable update for many Discotek Media titles thanks to… a CERTAIN retailer not playing ball anymore, it seems.
We’ll be back, hopefully soon, to talk all things “galactic” with Dragon Ball for episode 200. See you then.
