Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast #109 - Thorkell the Log Dropper

Nerdom and Other Nonsense Anime Podcast

Leo, Bcom, and Kat discuss the 9th week of the Summer 2019 anime season! During our Dumbbell discussion, Kat tells us what her bodybuilder friend thought about the episode, and we also talk about how impossible it is to open jars. The Maidens are getting all lovey-dovey and it seems like everything is going well with their Little Princes, but rest assured, these girls aren’t alright. This week’s episode of Demon Slayer was a gigantic info dump introducing the Hashira, and putting poor little Nezuko on trial for being a demon. We also vote on which members of the Hashira we think will bite the dust first. The goals of the Astra crew’s parents are revealed and we also find out that Polina’s not in Kansas anymore. After the break, we return with an electrifying episode of Dr. STONE, where Senku persuades a spy from Tsukasa’s camp to join the Kingdom of Science with using magnet-creation techniques from NASA. Given is actually able to pull off an emotionally moving performance, which saves the show from tanking entirely. In the latest episode of Vinland Saga, the London Bridge is not falling down, because a Viking named Thorkell is fighting on behalf of the English in the latest episode of Vinland Saga. Finally, with Carole and Tuesday, it’s Christmas time at the Mars Grammy awards, and things are quickly going downhill for Angela, as she tries to come to turns with losing everything important in her life.
