Weird audio issues abound on this episode (not really, I cleaned a lot of it up) but we soldier on anyway to discuss yet another episode where Kei and Yuri have to deal with some troublesome kids. These kids, however, have a childish obsession with war and access to a weapon that could potentially rip the fabric of space-time asunder! Does this show have something to say about our cultural obsession with violence and the gamification of war affecting our children? You'll have to listen to find out, I guess! I already forget what we said about it, but I'm sure it was tres insightful.

We're onto a new, hopefully less aurally problematic recording session with the next episode, so this is hopefully the last time you'll hear my incredibly out-of-place voice reading over a couple of parts that were crunched beyond all salvation for whatever reason. I don't know what the hell's going on with that! Hopefully it didn't show up in this next batch of recordings! We'll all find out together on November 28th!

On this, the spookiest day of the year (it's gonna be 80 degrees here on October 31, that's the scariest thing going), we discuss the spookiest of topics: the true cost of Utopia OOOOOOH BOOOOOOOOO SCAAAAAAAAAARY! We also discuss the lesser known works of Shinchiro Watanabe, as well as everything else that comes up in this particularly stylish episode of Dirty Pair 2. It's full of twists (heads and limbs), turns (missed ones), and not to wrap back to the whole 80 degrees Fahrenheit at the end of October in the goddamn Northeast United States thing, climate disaster!

Our next episode will release, assuming that we don't experience a catastrophic collapse of infrastructure in the meantime, on November 14th. Before then, we'll have recorded a whole other batch of episodes for you all to enjoy in the coming months (again, assuming we survive The Election). Damn, shit's gotten kind of a bummer here at the end. We'll push through it though, and keep making this little podcast because we enjoy it and because we are too committed to the bit at this point to turn back now. See you then!

It's a Halloween full of capers as Kei and Yuri, y'know, fight crime or whatever. I don't know if they even really mean to fight crime, they're too busy chasing a killer robot, but crime is fought nonetheless! We spend a lot of time talking about Kei and Yuri chasing a killer robot, and make sure to discuss the various threads that are teased from this episode as one would unravel a particularly garish sweater. Did you know there was a show called Bodacious Space Pirates or something like that? I didn't, and you can hear me learn about it in real time! Also something called Cute High Earth Defense Force Club, that's in here too. But it's mostly about Kei and Yuri and spreading their wings all the way on Halloween. What's that mean? I'll leave it to your interpretation.

There are a few moments here where the audio gets real crunchy, probably because the slapdash filter I run to get rid of the A/C noise that permeated this episode got a little carried away. I'm sorry about those crunchy parts, but I promise you it's probably better than hearing the drone of my A/C unit every time I talked. I'll see if I can dial it in a little better next time.

Next time? Oh you're damn right there's a next time! It's all the way on October 31st, and it's all spooky and shit! More podcasting synergy, courtesy of... fortuitous timing, really.
