Short answer is sort of. We're back, it's been a minute and that's kind of been a pattern, for good reason but we'll get to that. We mentioned a few episode ago that the scope and scale of the podcast was likely to change and if you've been a long time listener you've already likely noticed. We've made the decision to keep moving in an even more casual direction that'll honestly look a lot more like this episode in terms of format, what do I mean by that? Really the structure and frequency of our episodes are the things that'll be changing most. We'll be continuing with our kind of sporadic upload schedule for the foreseeable future and our content will be a lot less comprehensive and a lot more based on what we're watching rather than focusing on a season as a whole. We've had a blast these past 4 years covering anime, and we don't want to hang that up but the reality is as always that things change and this how things shook out. Thank you to all of the folks who've tuned in either for an episode or since the beginning, we're not going away, we'll still be around bullshitting about cartoons from time to time, but it feels worthy of an explanation so there it is.

We're back! It's been a minute, but you all know how it goes. Fortunately for us this little delay has line us right up with the new season, that's right it's Spring 2025 over here at TJA and we've got a whole slew of new shows to talk about. There are some anticipated new titles, a few top notch returning shows, and a whole bunch of middle of the road nonsense and as per usual we're gonna try to watch a little bit of all of it. So thanks for your patience while we get back into the swing of things, and if you're wondering what to watch this season then we've got you covered.

We had lofty goals of talking about all things Arcane this week, but reality had other plans. As such we're talking about our favorite show this season, and maybe anime of the year, DanDaDan. We're 8 episodes in at the time of recording and it has been a wild ride to say the least. All hype aside, this one feels like something special so we're dedicating this whole episode to seeing if we can put our finger on just what that is.
