This week, the Society dives into the 2019 Winter Season with Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. Fortunately for our hosts, this romantic comedy is a cut above the norm, as they discuss the strength of the show's three-segment format, the continuing escalation of each of the scenarios, and how amazing Chika Fujiwara is. Seriously, Preston won't shut up about her. Make him stop.

This time, our panel of experts takes one last look back at 2018 by highlighting the worst anime of the year. Preston plumbs the depths of child slavery in Death March to a Parallel World Rhapsody, Cole reminisces about how great, and by great I mean awful, Gundam Build Divers was, Remington despairs over the terrible sequel to Basilisk, Basilisk: The Ōka Ninja Scrolls, and Lisa lives on the edge with Angel of Death.

Lisa, Preston, Cole, and Remington return at last to break down their favourite anime of 2018. Cole discusses the power punching themes of Megalo Box, Preston breaks down his newfound love of gang torture dances in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, Remington expresses his heartfelt emotions for Devilman Crybaby, and Lisa researches the supernatural effects of "adolescence syndrome" found in Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.
