and The Ball episode was the worst of the season so far, proof that cute shipping tropes are not inherently noble

i hate it here

Featuring @jel, @iro, @gee-man, and Artemis, who is smart enough to not be on social media.

Normally I would pick a silly header image, but this time I want to pay my respects to top tier problematic waifu 36 year old Ranko Mannen. Akiba Maid War has been real strong in its second half, which we talk about among many other things in this episode. You should check it out. Do it for her.

You can check out us out pretty much anywhere you find podcasts (links and show notes below) and remember, the idea of finding happiness is something you cast aside when you enter the maid business.

I've probably watched more anime this year than I have in the last three or four. A lot of it is stuff I've been really excited to rewatch and share with my partner but some of it is seasonal stuff too!

Chainsaw man and Gundam utena have really hit for me in a way that new stuff hasn't for a while. The last new show that really got me excited like this was probably devilman crybaby (which I still love!)

Kinda excited to engage with this medium again! It meant so much to me throughout my teens and a lot of stuff I've watched then has stuck with me harder than any other art in my life coughEVAcough. It just got hard for me to find stuff that would click for me for a while but I'm really happy to be back!
