Finally, my backlog is clear. I have cleansed it with the holy fire of Audacity. Now my dark work can finally begin...

And we review some anime, I guess. I didn't realize how much I missed Lelouch until I saw him in Akito the Exile.

On this episode of Bakacast, we discuss Hero Academy's cardboard cut-out villain and how Uraraka is better than everyone else; Kabaneri's strange use of bit characters; and how I might be a cat racist.

Also, thank you to Kenneth Alexander for the album art!

On this episode of Bakacast, Bakuon 4 and 5 give us the starkest contrast between two consecutive episodes that we've ever seen. Meanwhile, Gundam Thunderbolt remains consistently amazing and consistently sad.

On this episode of Bakacast, we run the full emotional gauntlet. Bakuon takes us to the highest of highs only for Macross Delta to drop us to the lowest of lows. On the plus side, Macross can't hurt us ever again, as we've decided to switch to Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Unfortunately, Project Ice looms on the horizon...

Why did this episode take so long to come out? Because I was buying a car a decade younger than my old one, which was slowly becoming a dying husk. This one actually has working AC, so I won't melt into a puddle on my way to work anymore.

Yeah, that's right. Megan is finally back on the podcast, which means I'm going to be blushing 1000% more often. It also means that--thanks to the giant list of shows we watched--this particular episode is back to the 2-hour length of yesteryear. If this fills you with terror and dread, don't worry, it won't last for long. If this makes you very happy, well, enjoy this horrendously long episode while you can< I guess.

With winter finally gone, JoJo's season has finally arrived, bringing with it another JoJo's. On this podcast, we watch JoJo's and talk about JoJo's. There are some other anime that aired, I guess, but they don't really matter.

On this final episode of the 2016 Winter season, we have a sudden upgrade in audio quality! If you're wondering what brought this on, the answer is, "The much easier but lower quality method we were using previously no longer reliably works with Skype." So now everyone is individually recording their audio tracks in Audacity, and I'm stitching it all together. Hopefully this will end up making the podcast nicer to listen to.

• 44:59 - Scars of Time - Metal Cover (by RichardEB | Chrono Cross)

We're getting closer to the end of the season, which means that the shows we're watching are starting to get more overly dramatic. For Dimension W, this means more murder. For Rakugo, this means more crying. And for Baku Dake, this means "keikaku doori" plot developments.

I have a big backlog of podcasts to work through, and Bakacast is at the top of that list. So expect another episode to come out shortly. I am going to be productive even if it kills me (or prevents me from playing video games, which is almost like death). Oh yeah, on this episode we talk about Iron-Blooded Orphans.
