    Episode 80

    Show notes

    Meagan, Brian, and Brandon are joined by Ward for a different kind of episode!

    With XIV shenanigans being a bit on the lighter side, this episode takes more of a focus on other media. Brandon talks about his viewing of Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within, while Brian sings the praises of isekai-adjacent anime "Let This Grieving Soul Retire!"

    What anime will Brian watch next? Meagan absolutely has some suggestions! Join us, will you?
