So who or what is the "monster" in this title? It's whoever you want it to be, be it the former head of Kadokawa trying to sue his way back into relevancy or the people wanting to hunt down Denji in the new Chainsaw Man arc (coming... in three years, probably), or the head of MAPPA for his continued misdeeds, or the former Crunchyroll marketing executive slithering his way back to work with SNK, or even the promise of Monster coming to Blu-ray in August. Or even Crunchyroll for their failure in promoting anything from Given, there are a lot of monsters out there. It's all up to you to decide, really. And on this, our final show before Anime Expo, it's a bit more of the same with the usual rundown of things, some good and some bad and some perplexing down the middle. Just remember to live with joy in the face of adversity and crisis, like the wonderful Scots did in Boston last week. We WILL live beyond the cretins of the universe.
