AFAA finishes up on the not so award winning Bubuki/Buranki second season and we give our final takes about the season.
After a long gap from the end of the first...season? Part of season? We're bu-back-in the world of Bubuki Buranki! Where the rules don't matter and everyone is FINE! There's some lovely new characters this time around, especially Guy. He's just so kind and smart and not evil. Everybody should work for him. He's great.

Victoria and Evan chat about BBK/BRNK, then answer a bunch of fan questions, covering subjects like virtual reality anime, shows that haven't aged well, and the coolest spots to visit in Tokyo. Plus, more dating advice! Show Notes There's a new trailer for the Lychee Light Club live action movie. You can now buy a life-sized figure of Lum from Urusei Yatsura. A bit actor from FLCL and Kare Kano just won an award for her novel. An interesting piece of trivia. Evan is watching Eden of the East and Glitter Force for Otaku USA reviews. He's also still watching BBK/BRNK, and liking it a little more than before. Some of the locations in Tokyo mentioned in the question segment: Park Harajuku Nakano Broadway Mandarake Ghibli Museum Evan is writing for Ani-Gamers and Otaku USA. Victoria is posting videos on her YouTube channel. You can find more episode of Crunchycast on Crunchyroll, YouTube, iTunes, Stitcher Radio, and our Libsyn page.

This week Victoria and Evan take a look at the new Winter 2016 season and discuss their favorite first episodes of the newest shows! Evan is looking forward to more ERASED, Victoria doesn't know what she feels about Active Raid and both of them agree BBK/BRNK has potential. Show Notes Trigger Animators Pay Tribute to "Transformers" in Doujinshi Art Collection "Kizumonogatari Part 1" Ranks 3rd with 177 Million Yen Evan is impressed with the backgrounds and direction of BBK/BRNK, but the 3-D animation is still disappointing. Neither Evan nor Victoria can quite wrap their heads around Please Tell Me! Galko-chan. Erased is really smart and tense right now, but Evan is hoping it doesn't turn out like The Perfect Insider. Victoria's really not liking Active Raid, which is apparently a minority opinion. Evan is writing for Ani-Gamers and Otaku USA. Victoria has a new YouTube channel and a secret Twitter.
