Yes, it’s a wrestling reference given that the only two on here for this show have names that start with A. And yes, this show is late, once again due to a more-than-hectic week. Apologies for the not-great scheduling, but we’re working in the background to get things more stable. Also, there’s a thing happening on November 5, so maybe do it either on that date or before – you all know what the thing is, it doesn’t need to be said.
Anyway, we’ve got an abbreviated recap of the summer season, thoughts on Look Back and MHA: You’re Next, a major shift for GKIDS, and the biggest change to the One Piece anime yet – that’s all in the first hour, and there’s plenty from NYCC to dive into, both good and not-as-good. Convention season is wrapping up and we’ve got some bangs to go out on, for sure. We’ll be back with the fall dub cast rundown next time, after… you know, the thing happens. Please make sure the good thing happens, folks.
