We take a look at the end of 86 Part 1 and the beginning of 86 Part 2 on the podcast this week. Both parts came out in 2021 and are basically the same season, but, you know how weird TV anime is.

We also talk about saucy sandwiches, Dido songs, The Shawshank Redemption, Blue Prince, and Full Metal Panic. | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord
