In Memoriam:
Keiji Fujiwara
1964-2020
You don’t need us to tell you that this spring anime season is a little bit stranger than others. As we continue to roam through a new world of isolation in the prolonged wait for the “all clear,” nothing is for certain and everything is incredibly fluid. This also applies to the spring season, with shows being postponed at any moment; it’s very possible that more shows will be announced to be postponed after this episode has been released. As it stands, though, we do have our seasonal rundown show to present to all of you, with our first impressions of the big hitters, Daisuke Kanbe’s incredible *cock*iness, and the not-so-great blobs filling out the daily schedule, along with an assortment of news items that includes a long-awaited returning series, an old friend coming back to Adult Swim by way of Toonami, and even a long-lost (and VERY much NSFW) piece of audio that has finally come to the surface after over 20 years of hiding.
And we’re very pleased to have our good friend Sketch back to join us in listening to that amazingly realistic piece of audio, as well.
