16:31: The spring anime season has begun! You can catch Neomo’s thoughts for the next couple months with his column, and in this episode, Justin and Helen share the following shows they’re watching (From Fruits Basket to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) to ones they’re considering (Fairy Gone for Justin) to…shows that’s been dropped already??? (Helen looks at AfterLost’s premiere episode with disdain).
The two also talk about that Ikuhara butts/kappa show that absolutely zero people are watching. Big fat zero.
