We also may talk about our general lives so hopefully you'll learn more about us personally along the way.

32 - Anime Burnout, Mass Effect, FMA Sequel?

June 14, 2021 • Canuck Otaku • Season 2 • Episode 10

In this episode, we discuss a recent article detailing how many watchers are viewing shows at 1.5x in order to get through their backlog, which begs the questions, are too many shows coming out every season to the point that it becomes overwhelming for us, and why do we feel obligated to treat this hobby like a series of checkmarks?
Chris also talks a bit about his recent (6th) playthrough of Mass Effect and why it's been taking up most of his past 2 weeks.
We also discuss some news regarding big announcements, including the cast & crew of the upcoming Cowboy Bebop live action, as well as a new Fullmetal Alchemist project that will be revealed on July 12th, 2021! We give our predictions as to what the project might be and if it is a sequel, what the possible plot might look like.
