The legends return with a suitably legendary anime. Yet again fallen off of the Kirara train, here we are talking about perennial favourite Nichijou! You've seen it right? Of course you have. Or at least you've seen the gifs. The much-vaunted Iris joins us for a thoughtful conversation on a show so big no one has bothered to record a podcast about it yet. Lucky us!

We got a REAL LIFE game dev to come on to talk about New Game! was gonna be the pitch for this episode but does New Game even talk about game dev?? A fun chat about mostly yuri and the trials and tribulations of Kirara middery. Enjoy!

Clock in wagies let's get that bread!! A cafe-set romcom sounds like a Slam dunk! Can it Stick the landing? How many S words can we think of? Luckily we brought S-word expert* Mercedes in to help! Enjoy two bonafide food workers bullying Ranka for more or less no good reason.

*Not a euphemism just an unfunny rush job

AFTF returns with another never-before-seen (by us) Kirara Manga Time anime adaptation! As self-professed experts in the "high octane nonsense yuribait," "comedy jokes," and "idolshit" genres, will Mallory and Ranka find entertainment with the resident artists of Mouse House or will they graduate the entire unit of washed-up losers with extreme prejudice?

Oftentimes, we end up having to do it for ourselves. But what if... that was a good thing? Join us as we discuss a unique studio original from Pine Jam, Do It Yourself!! as well as the remainder of the Fall 2022 anime season as well as the remainder of your mailbag questions!
