S 6, E 5: Although We Mourn, We Carry On

E & Z talk about the news of ICE Adolescence being canceled–no really, we’re still mad about that–but we also wanted to share the two anime titles we just saw together: Tadaima, Okaeri (2024) and Fudanshi Koukou Seikatsu (2016). So tune in as we mourn ICE Adolescence, happily ramble about the most wholesome omegaverse anime, crack up over a fudanshi icon (while Z simultaneously goes squee over the BL Emperor), and throw all curses and shade at MAPPA.

S 6, E 1: Marry My Fellow Traveler

E & Z just finished watching miniseries “Fellow Travelers” (US, 2023) and movie “Marry My Dead Body” (Taiwan, 2022). The former got our emotional investment instantly with the destructive romance that spans from the 50’s to the 80’s. The latter, on the other hand, made us laugh during the first half, only to then tug at our heartstrings by the second half.

S 5, E 4: Back to Manga

After trying to read the novel “Lord John and the Private Matter” by Diana Gadaldon, we got bored and decided to move on to manga instead. The titles we chose are:

Anti-Romance (two-volume manga, licensed and 1st volume released by Seven Seas ) - story and art by Shoko Hidaka.

Midnight Rain (one-volume manga, licensed by Sublime) - story and art by CTK (chongtak).

We strongly recommend both manga, both of which are available for purchase online and at your local chain bookstores like Barnes & Noble!
