YHBG ~ Attack on Titan Volume 35 "Bad Boy"

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.

YHBG ~ Choujin X Chapter 27

We may be months late, but at least we're not Yamato Mori keepers coming to save the day late, amirite? The beach saga continues, and we're introduced to two new Mori instructors with some very particular skills. The kids talk about their hopes and dreams, until their actual dreams start taking a dark turn... You guys probably already know how this ends up, but we don't. So laugh along as we are probably wrong about everything that's gonna happen! :)

YHBG ~ Anime NYC Nov 2022

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.

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

YHBG ~ Choujin X 20 & 21

As the Moon Beast breaks free from his chains, we're back to being chained to Ishida's random chapter releases. Momtaku may or may not have broken a desk out of sheer frustration. At least we can react to chapter 22 with the rest of the fandom...
