Episode 009: Promare (2019)

In this episode, Dustin drags the other hosts kicking and screaming into the deep end of the pool to talk about Japanese Animation with Studio Trigger's  2019 hyper-kinetic masterpiece Promare. Matching the zaniness of the film, we get a little goofy in this episode. Jason finds himself unable to answer even basic questions such as "how ya doing?" right out from the starting line. Dustin issues a correction about the pronunciation of the film's title and then proceeds to repeat the mistake later falling into a pit of despair leaving us a valuable lesson about how it's okay to make mistakes. Between being entirely lost about what's going on in the movie, Michael opens up about his issues with getting further into enjoying anime. And so much more!
