Melphiera Marchalrayd is a noblewoman with a hobby gossiped about by her peers – a taste for good food, and in particular, monster meat. Not to be deterred from her passion despite the judgment (and her parents’ insistence that she secure a suitable husband no matter what), Melphiera finds a surprise match in “Blood-Mad Duke” Aristide Rogier du Galbraith – adoptive brother to the prince, and a skilled hunter with his own obsession with slaying monsters.
A collection of wacky characters must determine which one of them is infected by the Gnosia virus, lest their spaceship self-destruct to contain the infection. The amnesiac Yuri is one of them, and repeatedly wakes up to a shifting set of crew members and possible infected each time they die.
We continue to ride the trapar waves as Zigg & Aqua watch the classic 2005 mecha anime Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven, and discuss their thoughts and feelings on it as it celebrates its 20th birthday.

Kaboku Kotani is a first-year high school student, intent on keeping his head down and blending in with the crowd – and getting by as best as he can without drawing undue attention to or being laughed at because of his stutter. However, when he sees a fellow classmate, Hikari Wanda, practicing to join the dance club, an old trauma resurfaces, which he is encouraged by Wanda’s seemingly carefree dancing to finally face head-on.
Two rival scientists put their differences aside to create the world’s first artificial human. To their surprise, she wakes up and expects them to be her parents. In order to avoid suspicion and protect her identity, they decide to present themselves as a family.
This anime probably used AI images and that’s all I want to talk about.
Yumeko Koda is a self-loathing young woman who is consumed by anxiety about her weight. However, an ‘accident’ sees her wake up in hospital with no knowledge of who she is – and a complete change in personality. Now outgoing and confident, she resumes company work with a newfound positivity – even when dealing with a suspected attempted murder and coworkers who must come to terms with Yumeko’s new bubbly self.
Two girls ride around on a motorbike through post-apocalyptic Japan.
