Let’s Go JoJo! #4 – Joining The Gang
Giorno continues his confrontation against the sinister Stand known as Black Sabbath as part of his initiation into Passione. Will he succeed? Don't look at the episode title and find out for yourself! On the other side of the law Doug & Kirill break into prime time TV, Karakuri Circus breaks into its larger plot, Gurazeni rounds the bases on its mini arc and SSSS. Gridman lets its hormones run rampant. Convention/wedding attendance oughtn't get in the way next week we hope!

Let’s Go JoJo! #3 – Meet the Gangster Behind the Wall
Giorno may have Bucciarati's approval but to truly join the Stand-powered syndicate running Naples he'll have to complete the task set to him by the corpulent convict that is Polpo. Is it as simple as it looks? Or is there a darker purpose hidden within? Speaking of challenges we do our utmost to cover the remaining slate of weekly airing anime, staying on theme with serial killers escaping via minecart in Golden Kamuy, the usual suspects in Double Decker and twice the helping of murderous puppets in Karakuri Circus and Thunderbolt Fantasy. Hello Clarice!

Show #125: Joe 90
A guy called Joe who
works for Uncle Sam and blows stuff up a whole lot? Again? No we
haven't gone senile while we've been away, we're just talking about
Joe 90!
Due to legal precedent
set in the case of SOTSM V Dinosaur War Izenborg and the currently
airing martial arts marionettes of Thunderbolt Fantasy, we have free
reign to open up discussion to the realm of Supermarionation made
famous by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Joe 90 is a slightly lesser
appreciated example of their output, prey to the cultural
shortcomings of its era but also revelling in the atmosphere of
Sixties spy-fi. The ethics of child spies aside it does a pretty good
job of making intricate espionage operations palatable to a young
audience, helped in no small part by the infamous proclivity to
outrageous explosive puppet violence.
THE SHORT VERSION
Killer kids
Political puppets
REMEMBER JOE, THIS IS A SNEAKING MISSION

Let’s Go JoJo! Episode 21 – Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly, Part 1
Even serial killers just want to take the day off and eat lunch in the park. Is that so much to ask? However Yoshikage Kira's deranged but deliberate routine is about to be upended by your favourite local delinquent Stand users. Dark things also await in Bananya and Mob Psycho 100, body horror in Bono Bono and 91 Days and I guess Thunderbolt Fantasy is stickin' around!
