It has been a little while since I recorded a podcast, my friendship has ended with summer and now autumn is my new best friend. In this weeks podcast I give you the low down of where I've been, some really cool anime announcements and the sheer state of affairs with dynamic pricing and scalpers!

The grass is always greener on the other side, which I am pleased about! After a bit of a rocky week I am back, bright eyed and bushy tailed with Episode 10 of Bilingual Bento, I get a bit mushy when talking about my 8 year anniversary with Drew, feeling positive but cautious about the UK General Election results, very excited about new summer anime and some amazing news about new season announcements coming Winter 2024 and 2025!

As all the goths weep, that NYX discontinued their liquid suade range of lipsticks I chatter on about the fact there's going to be a Like a Dragon: Yakuza live action series! I mean, as we have learned from the NYX situation, we should always be prepared for disappointment, but will be pleasently suprised if it's any good. I also chat about birthday treats, driving anxiety, the sneaky new anime drops, including some that are hitting our screens this summer!

It's the start of Gemini season and....I'm all alone?! there's no one here beside me...🎵 Well Drew's on their cruise and I'm trying to fill my time or I will be sad and cry, so I've been to the theatre, the cinema, seen my friends, listened to new music, read manga and watched Golden Kamuy on Netflix. There's a whole boat loads of stuff about upcoming anime and also things I might start watching on Crunchyroll. Oh yeah and I mispronounce "Nokotan" as "Nonotan" 🤦

Why is it that when I get the opportunity to speak in Japanese, I feel anxious? How can I overcome that language speaking anxiety? Did I jump in feet first to a conversation and hope for the best? was it the help of a shopkeeper? or maybe a bit of both? Well all is answered in episode 4 of Bilingual Bento. I also chat about the summer of anime and my top picks for the season and why I STILL haven't finished Shōgun.
