And actually, he has already changed my life by introducing me to the show that we will be featuring on this month's edition, Freerun Beyond Journey's End, which I am head over heels in love with.

It is one of my favorite fantasy stories ever.

It's an anime adapted from a manga.

You can see the first two seasons on Crunchyroll.

The second season is airing now.

The first season is also on Netflix.

And if you're not a huge anime head, that's okay.

I wouldn't describe myself as one either, but Freeren is perfect for you in that case.

And it could even be a gateway to more.

So Charles and I will talk about why we love Freeren, how it relates to other fantasy stories you might be more familiar with,

And we'll also recap some other highlights of what has been an absolutely fantastic time for anime.

The past couple months have been incredible.

So we'll be getting into Journal with Witch.

We'll be talking about Jujutsu Kaisen.

Charles will mention some other shows he's been enjoying and also some shows that he's looking forward to the rest of this year.

We'll talk about manga to anime adaptations and how he consumes them.

We'll also take an unexpected detour into The Mandalorian and Grogu.

So stay tuned for that.

Afterward, I will have a cavalcade of clips.

Our usual collection of Ringiverse hosts and friends of the Ringiverse will chime in with what they've been watching or playing or enjoying in various media.
