We have a special guest on today's episode: Moh! The Marina to Saif's Shizuka, trying to steal his Azuma in Reeves—the most fitting guest possible for our review of Takopi's Original Sin  (a deceptively cute but emotionally devastating anime about trauma, regret, and one very confused alien trying to fix it all—thanks, ChatGPT). Moh reflects on his sins from a previous life that have allegedly blacklisted him from entering Jordan, while Reeves relates with his own recent experiences under increased scrutiny. And the big question looms: will Moh and Saif be able to talk through their differences and find their own happy ending?

A partnership between Delta and Crunchyroll has been announced, and Saif and Reeves want to make sure the NOAers know which anime to (NOT) watch on an airplane once it rolls out later this year! We also swap Delta horror stories, including Saif flying as an unaccompanied minor and Reeves suffering through awful delays and cancellations. We also announce the worst airline in the world cough cough Air Canada, although the poor customer service at Copa Airlines is not far behind. And Delta... pay Reeves his money!

Does Reeves have good game? Did he actually get tinnitus at Saif’s wedding? Does he have Hajime no Ippo style cauliflower ears? Who knows. What we do know is that we’ve got some great anime content for you today as we celebrate over four years of Not Only;Anime! In this episode, Saif and Reeves call on animation studios to start recapping shows after long hiatuses, demand more OP OPs, and insist that Sebastian serve Ciel more tea and pastries.

Today we have a special guest, Sam from Rhystic Studies! You may be familiar with his content on YouTube  where he explores the art, history, and culture of the collectible card game Magic: the Gathering. No, this is not David Blaine's magic, but something much more accessible to everyone! Think Pokémon cards for you weebs that haven't explored Magic like Saif. (Not) Only will we be talking about Magic, but today we talk about Akira and it's influence on the Magic world in terms of annihilation. As Reeves likes to point out on the episode, Saif doesn't dive into themes. However, Sam said it best, Saif is the Lewis and Clark of the anime world, which is essential to expanding our horizons. Don't forget to catch Sam's annihilation video here on YouTube. Please send us some fan mail at [email protected] and we'll answer it on our next episode!
