In the first episode of their anime time loop, BJ and Duffo take a trip to the theatre with Artland’s moe political thriller Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino. We discuss anime’s idea of what Italy is like, the ethics of using 12 year old girls as indentured government killers, and giving stupid names to your adopted son who you hate.

Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.
