Outside of the normal catching up, Matt, Mike, and Scott discuss their time at the at Otakon 2025 now that the summer is drawing to an end. We give our thoughts on the convention, dealers room and artist alley, our Gorae Soju event, Anime Home Video Museum (Follow them on Bluesky), our favorite food and drink spots, and more!
In our main segment we review the 2005 anime Kamichu! from studio Brain’s Base.
Kamichu! Synopsis pulled from Anime Planet:
On a day like any other, average middle-school-student Yurie Hitotsubashi got the surprise of a lifetime – she became a goddess! Unfortunately, even with her newfound powers, Yurie still can’t manage to find the courage to confess to Kenji, her crush. With Yurie’s fame comes others’ fortune; Matsuri, caretaker of the local shrine, names Yurie the shrine’s new goddess and becomes her manager – for yen and glory! Along with Yurie’s faithful best friend Mitsue, the trio set forth on an adventure to find out what it really means to become a goddess.
