The School Festival Episode - This Week In Japan

Join Jon as he recounts his recent experience as a teacher at a Japanese high school's culture festival. Find out what stalls were present, what the highlights were, and whether it lives up to the hype of anime school festivals.  Also in this episode, Nintendo has a wild week in PR, with the announcement that the Mario 3D All-Stars Collection will only be available for a limited time, and the apparently unexpected reaction to #pokemonmastersex.  Last but not least, the boys dip their toes into the growing Vtuber industry, as the both attempt to understand what exactly is Kizuna AI.  Timestamps: 00:00 - Opening 01:09 - Culture festival 12:36 - Mario 35th Anniversary 19:25 - Pokemon Masters Ex 21:46 - Snack Break 26:31 - Vtubers 37:28 - Ending Would you like to hear us talk about Japan some more?
