The activation of the 7G Network was supposed to catapult Japan into the future. Instead, it left reality stretched and broken outside of one specific train line leading to source of the disaster. When a trio of girls learn that one of their friends may still be alive near the end of the line, they embark on a journey through increasingly bizarre stations to reunite with her, confronting weirdness at every turn. The Con Artists have some thoughts on whether the promise of the show holds up over its length.

S2E9 Gotta Catch ’Em All (Dragon Type Pokémon)
It's the 25th Anniversary of Pokémon, can you believe it?! I've brought in Resident Pokémon Expert, Chris to podcast with me again! In honor of this exciting milestone and it being a Year of the Dragon on the Chinese Zodiac, we've decided to talk about one of the coolest types of Pokémon: Dragon Type! What's up with Dragon-Types being weak to themselves? Why does that one dragon come out of an apple?! How the heck is best boy Charizard NOT a dragon unless he's in X-form? Most importantly, have you gone to Sephora and become glamorous enough to BECOME A DRAGON?!
Also, I forgot to mention it in audio, but thank you to https://www.smogon.com/dex/ for answers to items 2-6 mentioned in the Checkpoint.

In its obsessive search for the secret of immortality, the shogunate government sends a party of convicted criminals to a mysterious and deadly island to claim the Elixir of Life. To ensure that they complete their mission, these rogues are each accompanied by an elite executioner, ordered to eliminate them the moment they step out of line. Among these assorted killers are the near-immortal assassin Gabimaru, and the swordswoman Sagiri of the Asaemon. They will need to navigate an island filled with lethal dangers and alien beings, while also keeping an wary eye on their fellow convicts and executioners.

End of Cour Spring 2023
It was a season of plenty here in Spring 2023! We all watched way too much stuff and you're gonna hear about it, so sit back and get comfortable!
Note: This cast is 1:40:00. We didn't pick a stop point to split this into two casts, so just a warning that this one is REALLY long compared to what we have done previously.
In addition to all the great things Brendan said about My Clueless First Friend he wanted to add:"Also I forgot to explicitly bring up Self-Loathing as part of Kasahara's character arc in Clueless First Friend. Theming!"
Are you ready for ALL the slow burn romance?!?!? Are you ready for, THE GOLF MOON EMPRESS?!?!?!

Long ago, fire became even deadlier to humans than before. Anyone too close to natural flame would combust, causing a global disaster that drove humanity into darkness. Many years into the rebuilding of the world, two young people become embroiled in the struggles between powerful factions and must brave monsters, divine magic, and a wildly fluctuating quality of animation to survive a confoundingly vague plot. Take a listen to our thoughts as we puzzle out what happened in this weird series.

The Con Artists Podcast: Rolling Review 25
This story is about young kids at a mecha high school who duel each for company rights and the ability to tell each other secrets. It's also about forming your own company because all the cools kids do that these days. It's also about class struggles, and learning mech skills. It's also about a young woman who can pilot a human killing mech but due to her fancy-ass powers can withstand the darn thing for mysterious reasons. It's also about revenge. It's even about not getting to eat the last lunchbox and crying about it in the bathroom. No seriously...it's about all of these things.

The Con Artists Podcast: Rolling Review 23
In a world where surveillance is threatening the 24th District, three heroes will rise up to take on trolley dilemmas and save their friend/sister/girlfriend who died in a fire years prior. There'll be some girl who desperately wanted a complicated romance plot, a dude in a cowboy hat who now licks spray paint cans, and a scene where one of our heroes ziplines into a drug addict's window and smashes him in the face with a skateboard. The only thing more powerful than having large pecks for bread-making, is going full vigilante with a sacred donut handoff.
Everything about this show is excellent and after listening to us you definitely won't wonder if Cloverworks is being worked into an early grave.
