This week, baseball nerds across the internet (there are ones of us!!) are participating in a fan exchange, just to see how the other side lives. As a die hard and lifelong fan of the White Sox, Mariners, Padres, Dodgers, Brewers, Giants fan, I am too, but just by switching who's number one. Go Brewers. Love Salvatore.

Yes, the world may be on fire and/or a frigid wasteland at the same time, but we're still here and still kicking. And to prove that there is still some good in the world (along with football YouTuber Tom Grossi raising over a million dollars for charity in one week) there's a very long-awaited announcement: NO. 6 IS GETTING A NEW NOVEL. Let's hope that the reunion will, indeed, be coming for those boys. And along with that, we have the news of BOCCHI THE SECOND SEASON happening, Masaaki Yuasa starting up a new studio, an hour's worth of book announcements from several publishers (even from Tokyopop, but just briefly), Fate/stay night airing on a... *curious* cable TV channel, some ripples in the Gundam pipeline, the recent AnimEigo "town hall" announcements, and a whole lot of dumb shenanigans to help distract all of you from the real world at large. And if all else fails, just wait for the Canada gooses to begin their attack.

NOTE: parts of the audio from the first 34 minutes of this episode are missing due to technical difficulties. As 2024 comes to a close, we have one last show as all of the stars seemed to align just right with the added benefit of a very hefty gift bestowed to all of us from Bloomberg - a not-so-lovely exposé on Crunchyroll and their corporate culture that we spent 45 minutes dissecting and lambasting. Quite the added extra for a show that just supposed to be about Jump Festa, but yes, the major happenings from Jump Festa are here as well, from the new changes to One Piece to the next stretch of My Hero Academia and even some not-so-confirmed promises from the ever-so-slow and procrastinatory overlords at MAPPA. There's also some talk about some upcoming new seasons for some fan favorites and one more book roundup for the year, but we all know why you're here - it's for the Crunchyroll talk. Again, it's quite a doozy, and a hell of a doozy to close the year out on. We'll see you back here in the new year for more fun shenanigans in our ever present strive for survival - mainly on the "bluer skies" of the internet, if you know you know. intro - Sonic 3 and the Timecop paradox 10:20 - business talk 1:06:38 - other main stories 1:24:00 - Jump Festa 2024 1:58:51 - home video releases 10:20 - Toho to acquire 19.7% stake in Studio Orange 15:02 - Sony to acquire majority 10% stake on Kadokawa 21:42 - the Bloomberg report on Crunchyroll and their MANY terrible issues 1:06:38 - a lot of stuff went up on Crunchyroll with no notice (Golden Kamuy OVAs, Kizumonogatari, given Hiiragi Mix) 1:07:47 - Rascal/Bunny Girl dub and more coming to Hulu in January 1:09:10 - Toonami Rewind is shutting down 1:10:02 - several second seasons announced and confirmed (DANDADAN, Ranma, Skip & Loafer, My Dress-Up Darling, Magilumiere) 1:12:28 - AnimEigo launches a new sub-label 1:13:41 - one more Yen Press book roundup for the year 1:22:11 - THIS JUST IN: Mamoru Hosoda's new movie is announced 1:23:23 - JOJODAY coming in April 1:24:00 - One Piece gets a problematic new Franky and a late new time slot 1:30:28 - MHA Vigilantes and season 8 announced for 2025 1:39:33 - Kaiju No. 8 and SPY x FAMILY new seasons coming 2025 1:40:25 - Witch Watch previewed, starts in April 1:42:36 - Chained Soldier gets a new studio and new cast members 1:43:48 - Mission: Yozakura Family season 2 coming 2026 1:44:46 - Aharen-san wa Hakarenai season 2 coming in the spring 1:45:35 - more details on Takopi's Original Sin 1:47:39 - the MAPPA section (Hell's Paradise and Chainsaw Man) 1:58:31 - Sentai March releases (Ragna Crimson) 1:59:42 - Crunchyroll March releases (Shangri-La Frontier, 100 Girlfriends, SPY x FAMILY, Jujutsu Kaisen) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Yes, it's a wrestling reference given that the only two on here for this show have names that start with A. And yes, this show is late, once again due to a more-than-hectic week. Apologies for the not-great scheduling, but we're working in the background to get things more stable. Also, there's a thing happening on November 5, so maybe do it either on that date or before - you all know what the thing is, it doesn't need to be said. Anyway, we've got an abbreviated recap of the summer season, thoughts on Look Back and MHA: You're Next, a major shift for GKIDS, and the biggest change to the One Piece anime yet - that's all in the first hour, and there's plenty from NYCC to dive into, both good and not-as-good. Convention season is wrapping up and we've got some bangs to go out on, for sure. We'll be back with the fall dub cast rundown next time, after... you know, the thing happens.

Solo Leveling, also alternatively translated as Only I Level Up (Korean: 나 혼자만 레벨업; RR: Na Honjaman Rebeleop), is a South Korean web novel written by Chugong. It was serialized in Kakao's digital comic and fiction platform KakaoPage beginning on July 25, 2016, and was later published by D&C Media under their Papyrus label since November 4, 2016. The novel has been licensed in English by Yen Press.[1] A webtoon adaptation of Solo Leveling was first serialized in KakaoPage on March 4, 2018; it was illustrated by Jang Sung-rak (Dubu). The webtoon's first season concluded on March 19, 2020, and its second season was released from August 2020 to December 2021. Its individual chapters have been collected and published by D&C Media in nine volumes as of August 2023.[2] The webtoon has been licensed in English by Yen Press.[3] An anime television series adaptation produced by A-1 Pictures aired from January to March 2024. A second season, entitled Arise from the Shadow, has been announced. A Korean drama adaptation is in development and spin-off webtoon Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is set to premiere in 2024.[4] A role-playing video game titled Solo Leveling: Arise has been in development by Netmarble.[5] In a world where hunters — human warriors who possess supernatural abilities — must battle deadly monsters to protect mankind from certain annihilation, a notoriously weak hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself in a seemingly endless struggle for survival. One day, after narrowly surviving an overwhelmingly powerful double dungeon that nearly wipes out his entire party, a mysterious program called the System chooses him as its sole player and in turn, gives him the unique ability to level up in strength. This is something no other hunter is able to do, as a hunter's abilities are set once they awaken. Jinwoo then sets out on a journey as he fights against all kinds of enemies, both man and monster, to discover the secrets of the dungeons and the true source of his powers. Plot[edit]

In this episode, Phillip and Eric discuss the Yen Press manga memoir My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness by Kai Nagata. They discuss its unique visual style compared to other manga, its candid discussion of the author's mental health struggles and visiting a lesbian escort agency, and how Phillip has the three strikes of being problematic by not having watched Echo yet.

Ah yes, this is much more our speed, doing manga's with slave in the title. For our Winter anime tie-in we're discussing Chained Soldier, a very horny on main shounen manga that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain other big time shounen.

The Chicago White Sox surprisingly fired Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn, one of which had been in charge of baseball operations for like 20 years, and then disappointingly hired their number three, Chris Getz, to replace them. All that's on Getz's resume is a bottom five farm system and concerning hires due to myriad character issues. All that to say I am now a lifelong Mariners fan.

This episode discusses volumes 8–15 of Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts by Yu Tomofuji.Sariphi has gone from ritual sacrifice to acting queen, but she's still working to gain the respect of members of beastkind. In this episode about the back half of Tomofuji's series, Mackenzie from Mac Loves Manga and Shojo and Tell host Ashley break down the highlights.

This episode discusses volumes 1–7 of Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts by Yu Tomofuji.Sariphi goes from ritual sacrifice to acting queen consort in the span of only a few volumes. The real problem? She's a human living among beastkind, hiding the secret of the part-human beast king while trying to win over the hearts and minds of people who look nothing like her. Tomofuji's series pushes boundaries, and Mackenzie from Mac Loves Manga is here to fully break them down. Mackenzie joins Shojo and Tell host Ashley to discuss the political intrigue of this series, how refreshing Sari is as a heroine, how endearing the tsundere boys Anubis and Lanteveldt are, and, as is only natural, make inevitable comparisons to Beastars and Zootopia.REFERENCESSacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts is available from Yen Press in EnglishBe sure to follow Shoujo Sundae and Colleen's Manga RecsOther anime/manga mentionedAlice 19thRomantic KillerYona of the DawnSkip Beat!Gakuen AliceTears of a LambSukeban DekaKill la KillBibliophile PrincessBleachNarutoMob Psycho 100BeastarsDemon SlayerOshi no KoTakane and HanaA Centaur's LifeMonster MusumeDarling in the FranxxNeon Genesis EvangelionOther media mentioned:Beauty and the BeastZootopiaBaltoThe Hunger GamesThe MatrixAnime Feminist review of Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts episode 1Hana to Yume magazineMackenzie's video on Romantic Killer/performative shojoOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USMackenzie on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, TumblrMackenzie's YouTube channelShojo & Tell on Bluesky, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter,

This episode discusses all of Twinkle Stars by Natsuki TakayaWelcome, hoejos, to the first Shojo and Tell episode of 2023, with special guest Colleen. We're here to discuss Natsuki Takaya's TWINKLE STARS, which is the only series Takaya has completed since she finished this little series called Fruits Basket. (That is, aside from Furuba spinoffs.)

We answer burning listener questions like "which page made you cry the most?", marvel at the star imagery, and of course, make endless comparisons to Fruits Basket. Which Takaya series is better?
