Kind of split on this episode of Berlin Alexanderplatz, but we manage to have a good time anyway as Autumn and Niamh watch one of Em’s favorite movies and we have a big long chat about Agnes Varda! Also, Autumn is playing Persona 4 now, so we’re talking about the investigation team and how we approach RPGs.

Things Discussed: Passenger (yahoo anime rules but here it is on youtube), One Sings, The Other Doesn't, Varda at Large, Mail Woes, Persona 4, Persona 4 spoilers talking about Rise and Adachi, the whys of RPGs, gender stuff, Gundam, Conan the Barbarian, health updates

Non-Autumn Zone: Hokuto and Kamiyama's Pondering Pootan A Grueling and Serious Examination of Cromartie High School, Metaphor talk, rating us on iTunes (you should do it!)

The opening theme this season is “Das lila Lied” sung by Ute Lemper
