S17E1: Man, I don't know what any of this is about! (Excel Saga)

After 2024’s year of mostly bummer, sad-time shows, Colin suggested 2025 take a bit of a tonal shift. This year we aim to enjoy happier anime, starting the utterly insane Excel Saga! Join us this week as we ask what this show is about, what IS this show about, and WHAT IS THIS SHOW ABOUT!? [Episode 1] The Koshi Rikdo Assassination Plot: Ilpalazzo desires to exterminate the world's manga artists, ordering Excel to start with Rikdo Koshi, but she is thwarted by the intervention of the Great Will of the Macrocosm and her own conscience. After chatting with Pedro, the immigrant worker, and chasing down dinner, Excel makes a second attempt on Rikdo's life. [Episode 2] The Woman from Mars: In the fashion of sci-fi movies. Reinforcements from ACROSS Headquarters turn out to be an invasion by the incredibly cute but deceptively tyrannic Puchuu Imperium, and Excel stages a brave, if somewhat misguided, raid on their Mothership. Meanwhile, Nabeshin is also aboard in order to help an old friend escape the clutches of the Puchuus. At the end, the aerial alien invasion force is destroyed, Excel is being held as a prisoner of war, and Ilpalazzo admits Hyatt to ACROSS' ranks.
