Season 2 Episode 10 - The Vision of Escaflowne: Baby's First Mecha-Isekai For this episode, Dan is hosting and is pulling out one of their favorites. Back in the day, Fox Kids aired a handful of fantastic anime. During this time Dan had inadvertantly watched and loved Escaflowne. Does this 1996 show stand the test of time or are Dan's memories just a dream, or maybe a vision? If you enjoyed the show, please subscribe for future episodes every other Wednesday.

This week, Dan, Marcus and Nick needed a break from assignments, so we did a one take roundtable episode. Nick jumped in the host chair, and all three discuss topics such as their top choices for starter anime, anime they love but won't be using as assignments, something unrelated to anime that they are enjoying in life at the moment, and a few more topics.
