- S1E33 Tangled Up In The Michaelphone
In this episode, a drift compatible one, we zoom in on our second Saki colab character, the one eye closed two girlfriend on lock Mihoko Fukuji, who you need to really, REALLY be careful with if you bring her to cosplay kareoke, and ash challenges Ivy with a bold question: Will you not admit that this is the best image, possibly in the entire world?

In a world where yuri nap rooms are too bright, where your ghost girlfriend might push you down the stairs at any moment, where your parents dying turns you into a scary doll with too many particle effects, and even catgirls can find redemption...

2 hr 8 min - S3E8 Participating In Certain Subcultures
In this episode, a markedly dissociative one, we zoom in on our featured Food and Operator, the red hooded white robed yellow...leafed Sekihan, who will soon not be with us as she ascends to the heavens, and the fantastically flowery fuscia floutist Hibiscus the Purifyer, a normal girl with a very abnormal instrument, and we sing a lyrical question: If you've travelled down the road and back again, can I thank you for being a bean? Then, one right makes two wrongs with Carnelian, Tomahawk Steak, and Dusk, asking: If you're part of a certain subculture, how rude can you be to your fellow, erm, subculture participants?

3 hr - S1E32 Woke Luigi's Mansion
In this episode, and don't ask me why it's named that, we zoom in on the maidenly maid who might maintain martial arts mastery Riu Kujou, who's chest is definitely one solid piece that isn't clipped together like a doll, and ask a playful question: Can YOU spot the maid? Can you reach the Maid Unlocked State?

2 hr 20 min - S1E31 Steppin' On Santa Claus
In this episode, carrying on our tradition of our Christmas episode being delayed a week, we zoom in on the beautiful, bountiful, bootlickable boss of Bamboo Cloud Fuuka Minami, famously fair with her rewards (stepping on you) and her punishments (stepping on you) and ask a spring-heeled question: Can exposure to Louboutins at a young age turn you gay? Or does it just make you inclined to secretarial work?

2 hr 15 min - S2E8B Hey Guys, It's Confucius
In this episode, the analectical finale of our Dream of the Red December, we zoom in on the second half of Xhulong---er, Hong Lu's art, including the teardrop tarnished tyrant himself... hey guys, it's evil Confucius (aka Lord of Hongyuan) and we ask a question that sheds Light on an underdiscussed topic: When you think about it, isn't Limbus Company just the same thing as Kingdom Hearts? Heathcliff got norted!?

1 hr 46 min - S2E8A A Proper Cup Of Pu'er Tea
In this episode, the midpoint of our Dream of the Red December (look, we didn't come up with a good one for this one, okay?), we zoom in on the affluent, the adorable, the always-staring-into-the-middle-distance appreciable perfect object Hong Lu (or at least, look at the first half of his art, with the rest coming next episode) and ask a question about one of his favorite topics, girls: So, when exactly do they start drawing him like a woman?

2 hr 50 min - S3E7 Shimei Over Here, Twink Over There
In this episode, our last Season 3 episode of the year, we zoom in on our featured Operator and Food, the two test tube toting thigh-high touting Silcence, who's exact number of arms and wings remains a true mystery, and the science-scared silken softie Vanilla Muffin, who is definitely NOT a horse and NOT from Umamusume, and we fixate on a translation question: Why is he called vanilla muffin? Why specifically vanilla muffin I NEED TO KNOW I— Ahem. Then, a throuple, with Jieyun, Asbestos, and Udon, asking: Can women be twinks? Because she does t— Wait, I can't say that in the description either?
