What can we say here at the end? A lot of things, as evidenced by this extra-length episode, and even then we determine halfway in that we should do one bonus recording on thematic analysis next time. Listen to our two hosts try to determine exactly where the scene is that their enjoyment of the series turns into "what happened?", and hear the myriad discussions of The Line with regards to character design.

This week we go beyond the infinite with both 2001: A Space Odyssey AND Kill la Kill inspired sequences, and dig into what makes a character a character, as well as get the tease of one of our bottom-three designs in non-hentai anime. Come along for the ride, the excitements end here!

Content warning: dementia + rough family stuff with a side of questionable fanservice.

This week, the show is firing on all cylinders with some heart-wrenching content, questions about the metaphysics of the Flip Flap world, discussions of art itself, a dive into the yuri genre's tropes and history, and also: casual violence! Cocona, Papika, and Yayaka have gotten themselves in trouble again...

Show Notes

• Apparently Discovery Zone returned from the dead at some point, by which I mean someone bought the name and made a few of them out in Ohio. It's still cool to see it live on, though, and the website will give you a good idea of what this whole concept looks like.
• I (Sibyl) will never back down from my love of the Neptunia series, and yes, they did just release a JRPG based around the concept of a Sega expy teaming up with Japanese Vtubers in combat. It's fun.
• Matt gives a good summary of it, but if you want a more detailed take on episode 5 and "Class S" yuri, Anime Feminist has you covered.
• If you're listening to an anime podcast, there's a 99.9% chance you've SEEN Pop Team Epic in passing via memes, if you're unfamiliar. It's either extremely your style or going to push you away with force.
• I refer to AC-bu as "animators who are talented enough to deliberately make the mistakes they choose" and if you want an excellent summary of their work in passing, this music video will explain everything.

New hosts! New genre! New format retooling! Boku no STOP! is back and wilder than ever as we dive into the non-standard yuri events of Flip Flappers, a show which is lovingly crafted to the point of being referred to as "animation porn" by those who enjoy it, and "a desperate ripoff" by those who turn on it! Come along into a land full of comedy, terror, psychedelia, and rabbits. Also the psychology. Freud is here again.

Show Notes:

• (minor content warning) This show shares a lot of elements, visually and thematically, with Sam Kieth's The Maxx. It's just The Maxx is a better work, per Sibyl.
• There is a brief breakdown of the phenomenon known as Hyperart Thomasson in the middle of this episode and this subject is absolutely fascinating.
• You can find Karin's work behind this convenient link, in a variety of fields. They're a delight and worth paying attention to/just paying, really.
