AnimeJapan has come and gone, and with it came the expected deluge of too much stuff to go over, but we did and we made sure to not leave out any important things for this year's rundown of the convention. Hopefully. It's been a bit hectic lately, things may slip from time to time. But along with that, we've FINALLY got some clarification for this whole Steel Ball Run rollout mess, even more new seasons announced after AnimeJapan like Frieren and Ranma 1/2, another case of studio consolidation with Lay-Duce's new owners, a quick look at the Anime Trending awards before doing another expected gawk-and-gander at Crunchyroll's schmooze-fest of an "awards" show - we know, we know, but it's just so easy for content. We're as guilty as all the rest.

Also, going forward: whenever something gets mentioned from a past episode, that episode will now be linked. It'll make some missing context make more sense.

past episodes for reference: #97 - Tokyo Babylon 2021 #104 - Saga of Tanya the Evil #178 - Rascal dub fiasco #186 - Suikoden anime announcement
