We talk about the anime we’re still watching, catch up on Kamen Rider coming and going, and get into a lengthy discussion about boring anime protagonists. Yeah, it’s that kind of season.

Gee is running the show this week which means he’s going to use the first 10 minutes to talk about Armored Core 6 instead of the Summer 2023 season of anime. Thankfully Artemis is here to talk about a bunch of anime that nobody else watched.
Smoking cats aside, the number of shows we’re watching this season is starting to dwindle. Is it time to hit the backlog?
We talk about more new shows, go in-depth on Shin Kamen Rider, and Iro resists a possible career as an isekai light novel writer.
It’s our 11th anniversary and we get a little nostalgic, daring to ask if anime is better or worse than it was in 2013. This might not be the best anime season to ask that question, but hey, we did find some things to watch!
Akira Tendou, a 24-year-old office worker, finds himself living a life devoid of all meaning or enjoyment when he gets stuck in an exploitative company, often working for days on end for a bullying boss without proper food or sleep. However, everything changes when he gets up to work one morning and finds himself in the midst of a sudden zombie apocalypse. Now fighting for survival, Akira is not fearful but elated at the thought of finally being free from his job and the corporate world, and he is determined to live out the rest of his life, no matter how long it may be, with absolutely zero regrets.
