In Memory
Dave Mallow (1948-2025)
George Lowe (1957-2025)
The ides of “Smarch” are upon us and they’ve gotten off to a stupid start. Alas, we’re still here doing our thing to help alleviate the continued existential dread we all have to deal with in the world. We’ve got Amazon getting back into the anime simulcast game in a big way, Crunchyroll trying to make good with a big partner of theirs, Viz kickstarting convention season with a pair of sizable announcements of their own, and some dates for some upcoming seasons that will – at the very least – get a reaction out of folks.
Also, for the next little while, these episode titles will borrow from Space Ghost Coast to Coast as an ongoing tribute. We’ll miss you, George.
