Published: Feb. 20, 2016, 3 a.m.

This week we talk about Evan possibly finishing Fire Emblem Awakening in time for the release of Fire Emblem Fates. We weigh in on the news that Astro Boy may get his own live-action movie. Plus, If you were planning on watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, better do it quick before FUNimation loses their license. All that, plus our thoughts on Katsucon 2016 AND answers to your anime and non-anime questions!

In the news:

 

Evan & Victoria also tackle your questions including:

  • What did we eat in DC at Katsucon?
  • What are our ethnographic observations on Undertale taking over the con scene this year?
  • Is there a con we have never been to before but would like to go?
  • Who are our favorite young up-and-coming directors?
  • What are our thoughts on Muco and dogs in general?
  • Have we ever had to awkwardly explain to a family/friend/significant other, that the anime you were watching wasn't what they thought it was?
  • What American cartoons would we want to get the anime treatment?
  • Is the iyami "sheee!" pose going to become the "dabbing" of 2016 like I hope it does?

Evan is writing for Ani-Gamers and Otaku USA.

Victoria is posting videos on her YouTube channel.
