Another shout out to Megan thee Stallion, a new Kamen Rider, and our final predictions for the Summer 2024 anime season.
A young man named Shoma flees from his mysterious enemies through a magical realm of doors, and falls through one to be washed up on a beach. Rescued by a local boy, he soon finds that stomach-mouthed monsters are abducting ordinary people. Thing is, Shoma also has a stomach-mouth, except he’s got a taste for justice as the snack-powered hero Kamen Rider Gavv!
Before diving into our usual anime coverage, we say a few words on the passing of voice actress Atsuko Tanaka, laugh at the absurd English language release of Girls Band Cry, and share final thoughts on the disappointing Kamen Rider Gotchard.
We cover two big anime adjacent news events with the end of the My Hero Academia manga and the official English language release of the original Fate/stay night visual novel. Forget the clickbait, listen on if you want to hear the real title of this episode.
Even with the caveat of Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- only being the first part of an incomplete project, what is here is not only a much-appreciated expansion of the original work but a rare big-budget visual novel easily deserving a standalone release. Perhaps even more importantly, it’s an affirmation of the work’s position and importance after years of relative obscurity within Type-Moon’s catalog.
Hell has frozen over and Iro finally gets to talk about the Tsukihime remake, then it’s on to the surprising number of shows that we are still watching this season. Remember kids, it’s not a Domain Expansion, it’s called a Reality Marble. Get it right.
Happy 12th anniversary to us as we tackle the Summer 2024 season.
