How does that saying go? "Always the Bridesmaid, never the Bride?" Well, no more!
We are sadly ending No. 6 in a few weeks, so I want to poll its replacement -- and the choices are shows that have taken 2nd place in the polls so far!
This should be fun! Vote for ANY and ALL shows you'd like for me to watch!

I've had so many request that I react to Yuri on Ice; unfortunately, I've already watched the season! However, I'm happy to talk about this show and gush about the characters, the relationships, the themes, etc. with you all! There's so much to LOVE about this show; it was "born to make history!" ^^
Thank you for watching and for the suppo...

No, it's official -- I want to go drinking with Wangji and XiChen! SERIOUSLY, these episodes were amazing and I just cannot get over them!
From demonic vegetables, to ZiXuan courting Yanli and being the most adorable tsundere cinnabun, to Wangji causing chaos in Gusu....show, I did NOT anticipate any of this, but I am LOVING it!

The final episodes of the Slam Dunk anime! I do really like seeing the "lead up to nationals" finally animated -- and while it's not the amazing National matches, it was cool to see this "all star" team up of characters face one another in a final match!
However, how does the ending hold up to the manga ending? I'm curious to hear yo...

I have a secret about baseball to share with you all, but also, this series is pretty crazy right off the bat (pun intended)! From our wild boy Sawamura to our troll Kazuya, to one instantly badass coach -- this series should be a fun romp in the sports anime world!
This episode has a lot going for it: Sousuke moving forward, Natsuya getting the tea from Nao (and giving Nao the tea, literally), Hiyori and Ikuya angst, and Haru has a surprise for us ALL at this tournament!
Oh my, y'all, there's SO MUCH to talk about this episode!
Nezumi's past is FINALLY revealed, but now there's more questions, concerning Nezumi and Safu's connection, Safu's role in all of this, and what Shion is going to do with the new information given to him!
We're building towards the climax of the series, and I have no clue how it's going to go! I'll definitely be eager to read the manga onc...

Despite some technical difficulties with this week's recording, I REALLY thought this episode was flat out GOOD.
Nezumi, you act cold and heartless, but you can't hide your feelings for Shion, can you? And Shion, you aren't fooling anyone, either. I'm genuinely worried for the mom, genuinely worried for Safu (WTF, right?!), but in th...
