<p>Greetings, fellow watchers! Welcome to yet another episode of the ARA Squad podcast, venturing onward and upward to August. We survived a month! Go US!! In this episode, we get to lie back and talk about: How Ali skipped almost two months' worth of college lectures so that he could binge on some trashy anime that he doesn't even remember. How Rylan liked close to 4,000 songs on Spotify... with pride or with regret? We'll find out! And lastly, how anime evolved from a niche medium to mainstream media, where everyone is familiar with it. This one is laid back and comfy to listen to with pretzels with peppery cheese on as a dip if you must (or a glass of water if you're broke like us xD). Adios.</p><p><br /></p><p>Video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pmth8kSgH3k</p><p><br /></p><p>Timestamps</p><p>00:00:00 - Introduction</p><p>00:01:06 - Having 4,000 liked songs on Spotify</p><p>00:15:55 - Bunking lectures for months in college</p><p>00:36:00 - Our thoughts on anime being mainstream</p><p>01:06:18 - Outro</p>
