Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #025 - 18wtf and Midseason Cuts

Bcom and Leo get their knives out for midseason cuts, but only one show succumbs to the chopping block. We continue on to recap the 7th week of Summer 2017 season shows. This week, we apparently watched an episode of a Loli Centaur's Life and Loli Princess Laundry, Restaurant to Another World finally introduces that other girl from the OP, Sakura Quest continues to be excellent, Gamers! continues to be less about games and more about dumb, but entertaining relationships, Convenience Store Boy Friends' Mashiki has a lie in April to tell, Rage of Bahamut finally mentions Amira, Made in Abyss embraces violence against children, and Cheer Fruits introduces a surprisingly entertaining youngest girl in the group. And, in the highlight of the episode, we try to decrypt and understand the most creative episode of the season, episode 7 of 18if which featured references ranging from the Wizard of Oz to the Khmer Rouge...it's a wild one.
