In this episode, our April Halloween special, we zoom in on spooky girl Ayako Morikawa, the occult loving, arm-cursed teen with lots of friends (as long as dolls, ghosts, and mirrors count) and ask a moving question: Was the ancient curse posessing your human form just a lack of self-acceptance all along?

In this episode, back to our roots in many ways, we zoom in on college girl Hinata Takanashi, the nature-loving, photograph-taking, undercover-agenting, Yui-Yagi-desiring, all around normal girl, and while definitely not normal ourselves ask things like: There's no freaking way I'll be your image... unless!?

In this episode, our Ishmael finale, we zoom in on the second half of Ishmael's indentities, including the good captain of the Pequod who will gaslit-guide you to glory against the great crimson whale, while talking like, TOO much, and ask a mostly unrelated question that I forget to actually answer: Which R Corp Pack Captain is which of the three musketeers? I only mention it because if you have a good answer, please reach out and let us know.

In this episode, the middle of our Ishmael trilogy, we talk about the seafaring saffron-haired, snarky and sharp-witted as a harpoon fixer herself, Ishmael (or at least, look at the first half of her art, with the rest coming next episode) and ask a bold and quivering question of the woman herself: Hey, I just met you, and this is fishy, but here's my number, so...?

Tired of your land-locked hum-drum life? Well, in the style of the great American novel Moby Dick itself, why not look to the sea, and join us a voyage? Join Ishmaivy and ashmael on a voyage of science and art, as we plunge into the depths of cetelogical study, gazing upon depictions of the great leviathanic beast with a scrutinizing eye, swimming through plate-etched waves of Mephistophelean grins and Pagliaccigan noses, past Larsonian sharks and Antedalivian surrialisms, to arrive at that most pressing question, that no great podcast has sought to answer and so we must give our poor attempt: What is a fish?

In this episode, an Italian Episode, we zoom in on our featured Food and Operator, pink-petaled playboy photographer Prosciutto di Parma, and the Fake Japanese/Fake Italian/Fake Alice Liddell Suzuran, and ask a concerned question: Wait, are there child soldiers? And possibly pig soldiers? Then, we look at the freaks, Focaccia, Crepe, and Shamare, asking, well... Hey, do all these guys kinda suck, actually?

Happy Vowentine's Day! Er, Valentine's Day. In this very special bonus episode that all of you donated $1000 to charity to make us record, we watch the prequel to... beloved? Let's go with a tentative beloved, anime movie Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: Licht: The Nameless Girl, IN PERSON, and let me tell you, we have a lot of questions: Is this movie good? Is it even really a movie? What does any of this have to do with Prisma Illya? Why does it look like that? What's with ball? Will there actually be a vow? What's with his body being made of swords? And most importantly, will we ever ultimately reach that most hallowed destination?

That's right, I'm talking about Germany. Please watch along on your favorite legal website, and let's find out together.

In this episode, which may or may not be for the tummy people, we zoom in on Aru from fellow gacha game Blue Archive, a scheming and villainous... young woman, maybe, who is definitely evil don't question it, and ask an ephemeral question: What makes a character in a piece of art look like a teenager? WHY can you tell, when you can?
