In this episode, in which our energy is totally normal, we zoom in on the diligent student council president Miyuki Shirogane from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, and ask a forward-thinking question: Why are men designed this way? Does it have something to do with the mist?

In the first episode of Season 2 of the podcast (don't worry, we'll get back to Season 1 next episode) we zoom in on the loser burnout [redacted] mutant Gregor, from Project Moon's seminal game Limbus Company, and ask honestly just a great question: What's the best texture for an arm? One that makes you wanna just reach out and... nng, y'know?

In this episode, featuring a special guest who may or may not be ash's mom, we look at the shy (and alegedly, gardening) schoolgirl Hana Ninomiya and ask a surprisingly difficult question: What is this girl supposed to look like?

In this episode, we zoom in on probably our favorite woman so far, mahjong... dojo? owner Fu Ji, and are prompted by the game itself to ask, repeatedly, a very important question: How old is this face?

In this episode, we zoom in on our first crossover character, Miyu (who of course we all know from Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: Licht - The Nameless Girl) and ask an almost desperate question: Why does art have to be bad? Why does art have to be THIS bad?

Join us as, in preparation for the next character we look at, we do a watch through of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: Licht - The Nameless Girl- and you can, and probably should, watch along with us! I promise you it's a super normal movie that we are super normal about.
