Attack on Titan Podcast

YHBG ~ Season 4 Episode 1 ~ featuring Coffee and James

~ Anime-only friendly! ~

Luna flies solo this month, as she’s joined by returning guest Coffee and Titan Teatime’s James for a completely new podcast focusing on Season 4 of the anime.

The first half focuses on episode 1 “The other side of the sea”, with some manga spoilers included at the end (don’t worry, you’ll be warned!).
The second half Coffee talks about her experiences at the final exhibit in Fukuoka and the statue unveiling in Isayama’s hometown, including her short, yet awkward encounter with our favorite mangaka.

YHBG ~ Chapter 131 ~ 2nd Anniversary Part 2

We have another almost two hours of content this month featuring chapter impressions from old and new guests as well as bonus clips from the cutting room floor.

It feels wrong to call this a bonus episode since it’s essentially another complete podcast, so maybe 2nd Anniversary Extravaganza Part 2 is the better title. Either way, we hope you enjoy!

YHBG ~ Chapter 131 ~ 2nd Anniversary Extravaganza

It’s our birthday! We turn two years old this month, and instead of celebrating with cake (cause we can’t fit into our jeans as is), we decided to celebrate with our former guests. Join us and twelve of our previous guests as we discuss The Rumbling with all its terrifying might. After the break, it’s just the Big Girls. We look back on our first year of podcasting to see at what we got right and what we got horribly wrong (not as wrong as the Rumbling though!)
