"To my father, thank you. To my mother, farewell. And to all the children... Congratulations!"

Thank you for all your support over these past four years. There will be more unreleased and previously recorded OVA episodes to come but this is our final episode together as Otaku Melancholy. We appreciate all your support and listens and kind words and the critical feedback you've given us to help us improve. The time you've taken out of your days and lives to listen in on our opinions on anime have been amazing to have and we could never thank you enough for everything. We hope you have enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed making it. Even if we're not together to make episodes, we hope you'll still be our friends. And with that...

Bye bye. Take care. がんばって!

- Mattie and Audrey

You sure look lively today, listener. Did something good happen? Plot twists, Kaiki praise, and timeline confusion are abound in this week's episode where we (after three years) talk about the next Monogatari in our Journey-gatari, Monogatari Second Season! Listen like a regular person or skip around the episode to get the full Monogatari style experience!

It's Katsura, not Zura. Hurry up and read this episode description already. I'm missing a soap opera rerun I want to watch.

(Due to the nature of this anime, there is no spoiler safe section. You've been warned!)

In this week's OtaMel, we take off and go full boomer mode as we fail to discuss anything except how great the ol' days were, MyAnimeList vs. AniList, and video game culture. We also rag a little bit on the writer of one New York Times article but it's all in (mostly) good fun. This review is us vs. the world and then us vs. the universe in our finest hour after we get it together with our infinite sadness with what few moments with have with our precious little life. These are all titles of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels and I know that you're very impressed I used them all in one cringe inducing sentence. Anyways, Scott Pilgrim. Listen to it or whatever. As always, check out new episodes every Sunday by going to our website at www.otakumelancholy.com to see all our links including our social media and join the Discord at https://discord.gg/rUHYUyW to continue the conversation! Ganbatte!
