Things go bad on this episode of Berlin Alexanderplatz and they probably won’t go right again until we’re done, so please hang on for the next few weeks. We still have a good episode, even if the mood on the saga is melancholy.

Things Discussed: fursonas, Abnormal Mapping, Pondering Pootan, Honey and Clover, misremembering the plot of Forrest Gump, Dune, the Stairwells bracket predictions,

Non-Autumn Zone: new NANA art, Chobits manga (including tons of spoilers), Hokuto and Kamiya's Pondering Pootan: A Podcast within a Podcast, Pondering Proctors

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