Hard to believe that it’s been four months since the world, as we knew it, completely changed to a sudden standstill in the wake of… well, everything. Not that you’d notice it in some areas, but trust me, things are still pretty bad out there. It’s also lead to the shutdown and suspension of the anime convention circuit – that includes YOU, Anime Matsuri – but thanks to the power of the internet the shows are still able to go on… if only a bit smaller than usual. But that means you don’t have to worry about crowds this time around, which is always a net positive. So, for this landmark 75th episode of the show, we have a sizable amount of news topics to discuss, including the usual routine of streaming news, upcoming projects, some surprising series coming very soon, and the major announcements coming out of the virtual-slash-online Anime Expo Lite and FunimationCon events, which comes with the worst-kept secret of the summer: THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU.
Let’s just hope that the world won’t actually end with us losing our patience and minds in the wake of… again, everything.
