Episode 94 – The 5ecret 5star 5ystem 5endoff!

Yes, the episode title is a big Daft Punk reference, kind of obvious. But this is also a sendoff in a different way, as while we give our thanks to the acclaimed French electronic music duo for their years of excellence, we are also sending Andrew off on this show as he will be undergoing a bit of a "training arc" of sorts for a little while. But he wanted to be on for these last two shows we did, to both groan at the CR Anime Awards and also give a verbal smacking-down to Sentai for their "interesting" executive decisions as of late. And on top of that, we also take a little trip "around the world" to see how some countries are handling certain shows on the line (read: not very well), we discover who the new Kishibe Rohan is and how the old one reacted to it (read: not very well), and we also take a look at a pair of ComicFesta shows that serve as the answer to "well it's somebody's fetish I guess."

Make sure to watch High-Rise Invasion on Netflix and laugh at it, too.
