We interrupt our normal Cocoa☆Disaster content for breaking news: Jordan will have to leave the podcast for the foreseeable future, which means Chorps is gonna be all alone! But before he goes, we talk about his time with the podcast, then dive deep into a discussion about American films based on anime and manga to talk about why they might flop and what could be done to make them more appealing. Is there a place in Hollywood for something more niche like anime? Then, Chorps discusses the future of the podcast, and announces the next couple of Single Serving shows he'll be doing with guests. So much to cover and so little time today! If you'd like to send in your opinions on either Revolutionary Girl Utena or Katanagatari for the next Single Serving episodes, you can email those to chorpsawaysa@gmail.com!
