Momtaku is joined by tumblr’s @lostcauses-noregrets,  @seitsen-sarvi and @tsuki-no-ura for a chapter discussion of Attack on Titan “Bad Boy”. Since Luna can’t be bothered with Levi’s tragic teacup tale, she joins after the break to discuss her trip to Japan and Momtaku’s visit to the Netherlands.

It’s been a while, but we’re back with an SnK podcast (or well, it’s been a while since our last podcast regardless ^^”). Momtaku went to Anime NYC and attended Hajime Isayama’s first panel outside Japan. She and Luna talk about her experiences that weekend, and debate whether Yams is one hot toddy.

Azuma gains a new perspective, mostly cause he can’t see without his glasses. Except for a dead polite Hyena. Noh Mask guy possibly owns a white van and some candy. Ricardo’s fate is unknown, but we’re still hopeful for free pizza in our future.

QEF, WTF? The fight between Tokio and Azuma rages on, while Yamato Mori’s finest are still nowhere in sight. Friendship conquers all. QED.
