Show Notes
0:00: Justin and Helen once again discuss much of what’s been going on with them over the past few weeks over the internet. One went to Otakon and had a time (and also checked out Dark Gathering!). One of them has been involved with reading a book about a time loop. 7 of them.
News
16:27: Zom 100 had a terrific debut episode that also went out of its way to use OLM as reference for really bad working conditions (as a stand in since the manga came up with a company, BUG FILMS decided to use OLM for the anime), but some episodes later, it got delayed a day on certain streaming services due to production circumstances, and now it’s fifth episode got delayed across the board, so…not great!
17:50: My Tiny Senpai is also seeing a delay of its sixth episode, so more anime seasonal delays!
Licenses

Weird News
29:50: It appears the stalking case involving Uta Kawase might be resolved, as police have arrested the alleged stalker.
31:00: Bandai has left Miorine and Suletta’s relationship open to interpretation in Witch From Mercury following a magazine issue that initially had Kana Ichinose say Suletta was married but for the digital editions the marriage part later got removed, and then Bandai essentially stated the editor was supposed to remove that (They didn’t). Despite numerous marketing and the series stating the characters are very much married, Bandai came up with this response. Just very bizarre.
34:49: NFTs will never die…in Japan we guess! But we got another NFT company teaming up with a pop artist for a music video, so yes, the craze still continues!
36:40: ANN had to resort to the last option of posting a news article telling the winner to please respond to their email or else you’ll miss out on a trip to Japan. That…that’s definitely the weirdest English language anime-related news the two hosts have seen in some time.
38:35: Finally, Shinji Aramaki talks about an Aliens vs. Predator anime he worked on ages ago that’s locked somewhere in the Disney vault and no one has any idea when it will be let loose from it!
