Endless 08

The Artsy bracket has another bye round contestant that brings Higurashi's horror thriller energy, competing against the Kanon/live action mashup that is Twilight.   Twilight - Koop Love to you - vee.rain   Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.

Hero Tales moves into its second half with another direct clash between the divine star warriors, but this time allegiances shift and the empire draws closer to war. BJ and Duffo watch from episode 13 onwards and discuss water bandits, genocidal zombie militias and trying to wrap your show up in the final four minutes of the last episode.   Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.

From the ill-fated Studio Flag with character design from Fullmetal Alchemists's Hiromu Arakawa, the wuxia inspired action series Hero Tales follows a group of warriors brought into conflict due to a celestial prophecy, with each warrior being an incarnation of one of the stars in the Big Dipper. BJ and Duffo discuss a Chinese empire falling apart due to poverty and corruption, a legendary archer who starts hanging around because he really wants to hook up with your sister, and a necromancer who loves stealing and redistributing holy swords to whichever side he feels like that day.   Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.

The Frankenstein bracket brings us a new compilation featuring a lot of Kingdom Hearts cutscenes, going up against the (now identified as a Karas AMV) post-war story of Memento Mori.   "Falling Dreams - Kingdom Hearts" - MysteriousRyder Memento Mori - NightPunisher   Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.

BJ and Duffo split into chronologic vs broadcast order for the second half of Rental Magica, discovering in the process that the show doesn't entirely make sense either way. Watching from episode 13 onwards, they discuss Christmas carols for orphan ghosts, increasingly dangerous Solomonic rituals with a high failure rate, and ending your show by ruining a gay marriage.   Our theme song is Endless 808 by I.K.
