Yona kicked a guy in the face! Lili maybe (probably) fell in love! Zeno...did things! These were some great chapters. 

Also discussed: Kusanagi's backlog and fashion in Yona. 

You can find us on twitter, tumblr, or gmail, or simply come back next week for the next two chapters! 

New arc, new tribe, new plot. We're in the Water Tribe now, and there is a mysterious drug making the rounds. Jae-ha is its first victim from our gang, and thus starts the direction of the plot from here on now. Plus our girl Lili, who Evan has had for a day and has already adopted. 

Also, we took a uquiz on what type of anime boyfriend we should have (to varying degrees of accuracy). 

We're on twitter, tumblr, and gmail if you want to send us a message. Otherwise, thank you for listening and we'll see you next week!

It's backstory time for Kija and Jae-ha. We get to learn about their dragon predecessors as the gang relaxes at a rural hot spring. Plus, these chapters were combined into a perfect OVA. We've missed seeing these kids animated, and every single thing the animators added for the story was perfect. 

Also discussed: voice actors, color theory, and Tarble and his peculiar alien wife, Gure. #NotMyVegeta. 

As always, please find us at twitter.com/theyonapod, [email protected], or [email protected]. See you next week for the third arc! 

We're wrapping this arc up! Soo-Won is saving the kingdom one well-placed threat sandwiched between lenient kindness at a time. Gulfan is still firmly a child of divorce. Also Hak and Yona sort of go on a date and we're very normal about it. 

Also covered: listener emails and whether or not Ian Sinclair is married to an 85 year old Australian woman. 

You know the drill. We're on twitter, tumblr, and gmail and we love chatting with you. Come find us if you want to, otherwise we'll see you next week! 

These chapters serve to wind the arc down. Characters know things. Soo-won takes the Fire Tribe boys under his proverbial wing. And that's about it. 

I don't know if you've all caught on, but we've known each other since we were about 12, so just, like, a ton of this episode is us reminiscing about things we used to do and enjoy. Here's that cracked article, and the por que no los dos commercial if you've somehow, blessedly, been able to avoid it until now. 

As always, we're on twitter, tumblr, and gmail. See you next week! 

It's battle time! The Soo-won stuff is kind of a mixed bag, but Hak and Yona look so cool in this section. 

Additional topics: a listener email and stumbling upon smutty fanfiction as youngsters. 

We're on twitter @theyonapod, [email protected], and theyonapodcast.tumblr.com. See you next week! 

Battle shenanigans! Soo-won is back, baby, and he's ready to fight. ...next week. This week we're still mostly setting things up. But it's fun! 

Also discussed: horrifying bug stories, Bachelor in Paradise-inspired character moments, and discovering Evan thinks of arcs vastly different than I do. 

As always, please come find us on twitter, tumblr, or gmail. See you next week! 

Blanket disclaimer: we discuss sexual misconduct and sexual assault in media a few times throughout this episode so please skip this week if you're sensitive to those sorts of discussions. 

This is a short episode this week even though we cover three chapters. Sorry, it's a ton of set-up. And a little pay-off, which is fun! Also fun? How cool the gang is at the seedy bar they're lying low in. They're like if Aragorn was actually five freaks, a gremlin princess, and a harried fifteen-year-old boy. 

Next week: a battle. 

Please come find us on twitter.com/theyonapod, theyonapodcast.tumblr.com, or [email protected]. See you next week! 

This episode is not all about grain! Instead, it's super angsty and romantic and we loved it. We talk about thirsty Kai ladies, romance needing a little suspension of disbelief, and that hairpin. 

We also give slight spoilers for One Tree Hill so if you're avoiding them...sorry! It happens early in the episode. But if you're here for the scene we talked about, please watch this groundbreaking piece of film. There's also an oral history of how the scene came to be, which I'm a huge fan of. 

Finally, Evan gives an entertaining (but lengthy) review of an episode of Kaleido Star. If you'd rather skip that, it's from 1:04:51-1:23:42. 

As always, we're on twitter, tumblr, and gmail. We'll see you next week!

What team? Wildcats! Just kidding, there are no wildcats, but the threat of them pushes Hak and Yona to share a tent together in some delightful tropiness. 

We also get into why Hak is such a good character (he's sad and refusing to deal with it, aka my kryptonite) and how to kill tropical centipedes. 

Speaking of centipedes, you all might have heard that Tonga was devastated by a tsunami last week. That was my home for two years and it's an issue that's very personal to me. These episodes are recorded a few weeks in advance so I just want to say that I'm not ignoring the situation in Tonga, I'm currently waiting to hear official news of how people around the world can best help the country. For now, I'm simply bringing attention to it (not that I need to, I'm sure). 

Please find us on twitter, tumblr, or gmail, and we'll see you all next week!
