anti-imperialist mechas, #hotmamosummer, bad parents

In our first real episode, Kim & Lee Anne spend a lot of time discussing the what, when, how, and why of our summer challenge, the shows we’ve watched and enjoyed so far, and our personal lists of terrible, horrible, no-good-very-bad anime parents. Highlights include: Kim losing her mind over rakugo, Lee Anne gets into the complicated gender politics of Eureka Seven, and Kim says more than you ever needed to know about Antique Bakery!
