The new Spanish Flu, the bug crowned above all others, that vicious virus violating the world with vitriol, COVID-19, could only keep us away for a week. Just like in real life, Mecha March Madness was put on hold, but in the spirit of the times, we finished the month out with a new take on an old banger. It's MSG: The Origin!

After missing the crucial first week of Mecha March Madness, we're back with another slapper- by that, of course, we mean two exhausted hosts and a James who is vibing so hard with the universe, vis a vis an energy drink, that he cannot hold a proper conversation!

It's the second of our three to infinite theme months, Fightin' February, where we watch shonen, and we decided to start with the worst of the OG Big 3, Bleach!

Hey, y'all, our schedules are having trouble aligning, much like the stars in our favor, but James had a day off, so instead, Chidi and James, recent roommates, sat down with some beers and recorded their histories with cartoons and anime. Chidi spills some beans and James drops hot theories, so it ain't one you wanna miss. Email us at animetaskforcepod@gmail.com Follow us @ATF_Pod Ending: Ed, Edd n Eddy by Patric Caird
