We spent some time getting to know an ambitious high school student work hard to follow her dreams to travel the world in this week's challenge: Blend S. This show has something for EVERYONE and we'll tell you why you should check it out.

We've also got the latest on the Japanese politician who called anime and video games "evil" as well us the new Detective Conan attraction coming to Universal Studios Japan. You know we're diving into the micro-transaction debate too. Love them or hate them, many companies are opting for this set-up. We'll tell you where we stand on the issue this week.

This week also netted us some great fan emails (Thanks Jay and Reber) with some great questions. What is your favorite anime studio? What was the first anime you can remember seeing? We'll share ours and send it back to you, the listeners, so we can share your experiences! We've got much love, laughter, and insight this week. Let's get dangerous!
