Another awesome/entertaining column! I'm so looking forward to these now! Again, I love reading your comments about shows that I'm not even following this season, cause they're so funny/interesting.

The Royal Tutor is definitely my favorite show this season (there's not a lot I'm following this time), but I'm really excited to watch KADO and see if it lives up to the positive things I hear about it all the time.

Thanks for taking the time to entertain us Very Happy

I still have no interest in this column, but I want to know if this is by any chance replacing the weekly rankings column. If so, that would be a big loss for me.

No, weekly rankings usually just take a couple weeks' worth of data to return when a new season starts. I believe the first installment of Spring 2017 will appear this Thursday.

Nice column. I concur that the Ochako jealousy about Midoriya bonding with fellow superhero fan Mei was the best part of the MHA episode. (She pouts a little bit later too when he praises Mei's inventions but not her contribution.) Very obvious little crush there.

These are some series youcould discuss next week, can you?

Tsugomomo, Armed Girls Machiavellism, and Snack World, which started this saturday. I mean, seriously, why not to use series that don't have weekly reviews here but anyone wants to know if they're good or not?

Just out of curiousity but since you are focusing on these 4? Are they the more popular show of the season on ANN?

As for the column itself. I only read the MHA part and I liked it! Both the parts about Bakugo/Kiri and how every character is sooo fun to watch was super funny since it's exactly the type of convo I have with my friend every week haha.

I liked the new column. I liked the format - text messages. Thanks for the recommendation to check out Re:Creators.

I feel like this one was a little more substantial, but I did have to skip around a bit to try and avoid spoilers for a couple shows. Overall it is not really for me, format wise, but I could see myself checking it out now and then. Especially during weeks when I've managed to catch up on everything.

I gave this column a second week, just in case it might have been improved. The Re:Creators talk was at least decent, though I'm sure I could find discussion as good or better elsewhere. The rest was all at least as bad as most of the first week, with little content and humor that did nothing for me. I won't be back for any of the rest.

When are these actually written? I mostly ask because this one has discussions about last week's episodes, and it feels just a little strange to be reading about those on the Tuesday after the week that actual newest episodes aired (this isn't a problem for Royal Tutor since it actually does air on Tuesdays, haha).

Otherwise this seems to be coming into what it wants to be, even if "a podcast I have to read" isn't exactly my bag. I might just end up skipping to the "bonus section" in the future since the longer conversations are about such popular shows and are a week behind anyway. I hope Micchy keeps up with Kado, because it's recently gotten into the "stakes" half of the premise, and I also appreciated Love Rice getting a shoutout.

I gave the feature a second chance, and it's pretty obvious you took none of the comments last week seriously.

(AoT episode 29)

"That bit looked GOOD AS HECK. I remember in the manga it was a two-page spread of... scribbles."

"scribbles"

I understand that some people don't like AoT's art, but I don't see how you can describe this page as "scribbles".

^^ Here, here.

I just can't take this seriously, especially with how much they seem to miss the point of Suka Suka in particular.
