Episode 79 – The Virtual Crunchy Hook-Up(s)!

2020 sure has been all over the place, and nowhere is that more evident than with the shift to “virtual” anime conventions. Such was the case with VCRX, or the Virtual Crunchyroll Expo, an event that certainly did happen and that people watched from the comfort and safety of their own homes. There were some pretty significant announcements made throughout that weekend, as well, from the surprising to the REALLY surprising, and an old relationship seems to have been rekindled once again… while the other relationships are still tagging along for the time being. And in other news, prepare yourselves for the return of GOD – that being Haruhi Suzumiya – along with the continuing assimilation of Aniplex’s catalogue, a look at some upcoming shows for 2021, the latest transatlantic home video release happening, and one heck of a cliffhanger for next time, courtesy of the awesome folks at Discotek.

There may or may not be a running joke from this show knocking on death’s door. Tune in next week to find out more.
