Somehow, we've been at this for 100 episodes, not to mention a bunch of Aftershow episodes, some live shows, and our bonus spoilercasts. Since we were all in person at Anime Expo this year, we decided to record an episode all together and discuss what we saw there, as well as how the show has progressed over these last 100 weeks. We hope you enjoy it!
