Welcome to the Isekai show! We put the age old question of "is Futurama an isekai?" to rest in this one. We go into so little detail about the series that it hardly warrants a spoiler warning imo. I think we do a pretty solid job of arguing our side! This segment goes from (24:58) to (32:28).

If you thought anime was purely fictitious, then let me tell you about economics! In this week's Otaku Glossary we talk about Japan's Lost decade, the asset price bubble of the the late 80s and early 90s and the various references to this that we see show up in anime whether explicitly or implicitly. It's super interesting, and I expect we'll return to this subject as we cover more series. This segment runs from (32:28) to (1:05:54).

In the summary segment we cover:

Episode 10: The Devil and the Hero Take a Break from the Daily Routine (1:05:57)
Episode 11: The Hero Stays True to Her Convictions (1:40:44)
Closing thought start at (2:21:17)

That's right, we only cover two episodes today owing to the odd total of episodes in the series. We do manage to talk enough for 3 episodes worth of coverage though! We can't help it, these episodes are jam packed with stuff to talk about, especially 11. These episodes finally offer the balance of frivolity and serious examinations of character that I was hoping for, but does it manage to salvage our overall opinions of Maou-sama? We really break it down on this one. Join us!
