After 11 episodes of Sanda, I've finally figured something out: This isn't a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX spinoff centered on Jun Manjoume / Chazz Princeton.

It’s in my article but I’ve been naming the VODs after movies and sometimes, I have a lot of trouble coming up with one. This one, I had the opposite. I was going to call it Challengers but right before the session One Battle After Another sprung into my mind and I knew I had to use it.
This is the #DrinkTalkRoll off week, but you can catch up on our unique brand of D&D nonsense with the latest episode over on our YouTube channel! Check it out, and be sure to catch us live next Friday over on our Twitch channel!

Hi everyone, we have a new interview for you. 🥰
Seth Burn had a chance to talk with the Trigger staff about Panty & Stocking, the challenges of returning to a work like it years later, and more. It's a great read and we hope you enjoy it.

"For twenty to thirty minutes, I want fans to laugh like an idiot and then forget what they’ve watched. I hope it can be that fun time each week they get to do that."

Recently, I've been watching football with some friends and we all think this moment from the Eagles Lions game has a lot of potential. Here's the first idea that came to my mind.

In what is probably the last entry in “Things I Never Thought I’d Say,” in this month’s episode, I used the phrases “cuteness aggression” and “aura farming” for the first time ever to make sure we appeal to that younger demographic.
The (almost) final episode of Season One of our Manga of the Month podcast, Reading the Wrong Way, is up now on Spotify and YouTube! This time around we decided to celebrate "Ito-ber" with a look at Junji Ito's classic horror manga series Tomie!

You know, I don’t think I ever had any interest in watching fighting game competitions but then I went to Sajam Slam tonight. Now, I understand the exhilaration of the close match followed by the perfect K.O. and a competition coming down to the very final match. #twitchcon

Heart-shaped Box of Memories: A Princess Ai Retrospective
What began as one of Tokyopop’s first forays into original English language content became a fandom-wide joke thanks to the company’s increasingly desperate attempts to make it a multi-media success. Twenty years have passed since its debut, so it’s time to face the music and trace its rise and fall from grace.
