Welcome back friends and weirdos! In this one, Nile goes straight for Kyle's jugular with a story filled with UFOs, furries, cults, and anime. We're talking about a new religious movement called Happy Science! Founded by a man named Ryuho Okawa, Happy Science is all about love, happiness, and right-mindedness! There's...also some weird anti-Chinese and anti-Korean sentiment tossed in there...but also anime! That's right - this cult has multiple anime movies based on its teachings.
