Your results will vary. For sure. Anyways, snow came and it turns out you need an internet connection or something to watch anime so we didn't really have the time (or ability) to watch anime this week so we made a buyer's guide for all your weeb friends! Like... what should you get a weeb for Christmas? We answer that. Do we answer it well? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Maybe? Is Christmas almost a year away? It is but you should just go ahead and buy everything now. You don't want to have a repeat of what happened that one year. Anyways, it's late and you need to go to bed. Well, I need to go to bed. So I am. Good night. Sweet dreams.

More Aggretsuko! More us talking about more Aggretsuko! Haida fans, I would sit this episode out. I don't wanna make you upset or anything but there are not many kind words about ya boi in here. At least I warned you this time.

Do you remember when we used to trade shows? No? Is it because we only did it once? Jog your memory then cause we're going at it again except now it's in non-denominational holiday form! That said, we're trading Saint Young Men (which has bishonen Jesus) and Itsudatte! My Santa (which is about Christmas) so maybe you shouldn't read too much into the non-denominational part. We're getting in the holiday spirit and celebrating with anime that shares the spirit of the season with religious figures and bad experiences by reviewing and discussing those shows! Does it make for a good episode!? Maybe! I think we're bating at about 40/60 for episode quality but it's probably Craig's fault if they're bad. It's not like he reads the descriptions. Are you even reading this far? I hope you have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS if you are and a EH KINDA MID HOLIDAYS if you aren't! Get your fill of holiday cheer with us this year! Also Santa IS real as long as you believe he is!

Special thanks for DarthEgg for recommending this show! We enjoyed it! Or did we!?!? (we did thank you so much for listening)

Anchor's mobile website sucks and has deleted my episode description three times and I have to go to work so here's a funny anecdote to fill space: my roommate calls my Joseph Joestar cosplay scarf a "Yo Gabba Gabba scarf". I just think that's pretty funny.

We normally cover the very worst of anime on this podcast but hey! We needed content and we were lucky to recruit a very knowledgeable guest who would be all too familiar with the kind of manga that flop hard: David from the Shonen Flop Podcast! We talked our top five bottom manga (and one light novel) and broke down what exactly just irked us about all these failures. From rom coms that don't know what an ending is to manga that just want to capitalize on that sick rugby craze, there is a whole variety of manga in this episode for you to (not) check out! Or do? I don't really have control over what you do because if I did then I wouldn't change anything. You're perfect and I love you for who you are. I'm just saiyan, will you Goku prom with me? <3 Anyways, big thanks to David for helping to fill in for Audrey this week! You can check out his stellar podcast at www.shonenflop.com and also everywhere you listen to podcasts! I'd include all the links but Anchor is being really difficult right now but trust me when I say his podcast is EVERYWHERE and you should follow them on every social media platform too.

Usually you go into dealer's rooms at cons expecting to leave with some new piece of anime merch or something of the like but sometimes you leave with some fresh new music and people you want to talk with on your podcast like how we went to Anime Weekend Atlanta a few weeks ago where we met today's guest Greshmon! Greshmon is an American rapper, actor, and streamer who is bringing (in our opinion) a great sound and helping to build a bridge from the world of geekdom to hip hop with engaging lyrics and an energy unlike any other musician out there. We had a fantastic time hanging out with him and discussing anime, geekdom, and what he didn't like about BoBoBo. We hope you'll check out his songs wherever you stream music and that you'll keep your attention on him as he continues to excel in the future. Thanks for hanging out with us!

The evolution of degeneration is a tricky thing. Where, why, and when does a mind truly go mad? There's no concise answer to this (at least as far as anime fans go) but we're going to talk about Oreimo's 2nd season cause that's as close of a discussion topic, right? Right. We're joined by JD from the Anime Brothers Podcast (CLICK HERE FOR ALL THEIR LINKS!!!) to talk about one of his recent finished anime which, if you can read, is the second season of Oreimo and if you know about Oreimo then you know Oreimo. Does it maintain the highs of the first season? Is this the start of a more profound deviation of degeneration for a budding anime fan? I don't know but we talk about sister fornication a lot because we're two only children so warning there. Is that a good enough description? I think it is so I'm stopping it here. Go listen to the Anime Brothers Podcast with JD's fantastic co-host Earthworm wherever you get your podcasts now! And maybe check us out later? I dunno. If you're in the mood I guess.

So we went to Anime Weekend Atlanta over the weekend and it was a ride. After two years of no cosplays with love in the stitches, big gulps of ramune, and disposable income being disposed of in artist's alley, it definitely feels like a new age of conventions. We're getting older and that's definitely not a negative thing by any means but the convention experience has changed and we had nothing prepared for Halloween so here we are once again to talk in the same room about what happened while we attended AWA. It was a long drive so I'm just going to kind of phone in this description, okay? I'm tired and my back HURTS. I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING TO HURT IT. AM I OLD NOW???????
