Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #107 - Our Stone Future is Shiny and Chrome

Bcom, Kat, and Leo are here to break down the 7th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! We kick off the podcast with some thoughts from Bcom and Kat about Trigger’s latest film, PROMARE. In this week’s anime, Dumbbell has become an idol show, and Kat is not amused. The Maidens have a very jiggly pillow fight to express their growing frustration with each other. After Tanjiro’s huge battle with Rui, Demon Slayer starts delving into the tragic backstory of the pretend spider family that Rui has built around himself. Then we get into the first of our midseason replacements, with a big recap of Astra Lost in Space and discussion of episode 7, where we try to puzzle out who the traitor could be. Dr. STONE begins recruiting the help of some villagers to build his Kingdom of Science into a force to be reckoned with. Leo takes a nap through Kat’s excellent review of episode 7 of Given, which is getting better with each passing episode. Bcom recaps episodes 4-6 of Vinland Saga before jumping into episode 7, where Askeladd’s Vikings use some badass tactics to plunder a Frankish stronghold, and Thorfinn earns another duel to avenge his father’s death by Naruto-running all over the battlefield. Finally, in Carole & Tuesday, Angela’s stalker is finally dealt with by none other than Mr. Tao who is able to out-think the annoying hacker pest. Recorded September 22, 2019.
