Episode 173 – THE END OF GAINAX.
Yes, this episode is very late. Life sometimes gets in the way of getting this show done. Nevertheless, there's quite a bit to talk about as we are in the "pre-Anime Expo" buildup, namely some big moves from Science SARU and GKIDS, a good amount of manga and light novel synopsis reading, a deep dive on Netflix's anime data, and the (hopefully) permanent financial demise of GAINAX. All of that, and so much more to come both in this show and in the coming weeks. Call it the prelude to the madness in LA.
P.S. the Attack on Titan discussion episode that was promised last year? It’s cancelled. Sorry for that, too. Just imagine all of us screaming for 2 hours straight and that’s the discussion we would have had.
