Summary

This week, Shaun was messing around on MAL (like most Friday evenings) when he came across a particular theme entitled “Love Status Quo” which caused him to crash out on his daki date & he eventually decided to have Remington watch 3 episodes of a random show that's tagged with the theme to see if that's a valid way to classify a show's overarching thematic elements. Meanwhile Remington has eye drops all over his face. If you'd like to give us feedback, ask a question, or correct a mistake, send an email to AnimeOutOfContext@gmail.com. Like our show?
