I can hear you already, listeners.

“But Dustin, what does that album art have to do with the title?” you ask.

It has nothing to do with the title, and for that you should be grateful. Specifically, be grateful to Kenneth Alexander, who drew it for us.

As of this episode, four shows are getting close to being dropped. Space Bros is flying in the danger zone simply because it’s gotten really boring lately; and by “lately” I mean “since episode 4.” Fujiko Mine is walking a razor’s edge thanks to its consistently questionable treatment of its characters. Mysterious Girlfriend X will walk the plank if it doesn’t prove it’s more than a one-trick pony. And Sankarea needs to stop the insulting fanservice lest we mercy-kill it.
