No podcast this week! Instead Madiha gets on the mic to answer some questions. Forgive the audio quality, it sounds worse than normal because Esther is moving and couldn't perform her editing magic on it. Madiha also forgot to put a theme song on it, but then she decided that'll just be the Apologem aesthetic and went for it, because, she is tired! She did explain her methodology for making the Solstice War unique despite its historic ties, and how she plays video games to avoid feeling like she's doing it wrong.

Betterman is over. The Media Maidenz grapple with the revelations of episodes 25-26 of Betterman. We have our answers, to some degree. But still, the Maidenz will be Maidenz, and they will ask questions such as: was ANYONE actually infected with Algernon? How much of Evangelion can be found in Betterman? Would the ideology of Juche allow Greater Korea to take over anime? Is Queer Theory over forever? Did Rob Liefeld have a hand in the creation of Betterman Oltos? Is the series ending cute or creepy? Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Oh and Madiha's theory is revealed. Ugh. At any rate, we may never know the truth, because, Betterman is over. Tune in again!

Should a pregnant woman do robot battle? Do tuna heads represent the slaughter? Join us and find out! Outro theme is "Blossom" the theme of the Dual Tribe in Betterman. Send us questions!
