Episode 124 – The Crunchyroll APATHY Awards… Again.

“Here’s to a better show next year,” we said. Things couldn’t get any worse, we thought. Turns out, there wasn’t even an awards show event of any kind to talk about. What a letdown for what may be the final year of the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, either as this current incarnation or altogether. But at least there’s happier topics to discuss, like big time athletes turning into real life anime heroes, that banger Attack on Titan opening charting on Billboard, some unsurprising upcoming seasons getting announced, the long-awaited dub premieres of ODDTAXI and Demon Slayer, and vinyl. Because vinyl is always fun.

And stay tuned for a more prestigious awards presentation courtesy of the Dub Talk folks, happening very soon.
