This week Victoria and Evan take a look at the new Winter 2016 season and discuss their favorite first episodes of the newest shows! Evan is looking forward to more ERASED, Victoria doesn't know what she feels about Active Raid and both of them agree BBK/BRNK has potential. Show Notes

• Trigger Animators Pay Tribute to "Transformers" in Doujinshi Art Collection
• "Kizumonogatari Part 1" Ranks 3rd with 177 Million Yen
• Evan is impressed with the backgrounds and direction of BBK/BRNK, but the 3-D animation is still disappointing.
• Neither Evan nor Victoria can quite wrap their heads around Please Tell Me! Galko-chan.
• Erased is really smart and tense right now, but Evan is hoping it doesn't turn out like The Perfect Insider.
• Victoria's really not liking Active Raid, which is apparently a minority opinion.
• Evan is writing for Ani-Gamers and Otaku USA.
• Victoria has a new YouTube channel and a secret Twitter.
