Bookends - Minute 23 Episode 12

We’re watching the kind-of-fourth segment, or the one that’s sprinkled throughout the Extra Part, “GANBARE, HIROMI CHAN” and the ED!! But before we do that, friend of the show Mitchell’s got car troubles! There’s a cute chibi version of Hiromi and Tadashi, Jono went to Japan WE GET IT, and Hiromi is doing his best as he has to confront the guy who literally attacked him!CW: Mention of abuse/assault.MPREG REKI!

It’s the Adam and Tadashi part of the BL - Morning Routine! It’s a stylistic shift for the show (avant garde much?) and we love it! Adam’s body clock is well-tuned, Tadashi is sleepy and charging his phone, and Utsumi is down BAD.

It’s weird when we don’t say “this minute” on Infinite Minute! We’re watching part two of the Sk8 OVA, “Becoming Really Serious About Things”. These boys are dumb, this cannot be the way they actually discovered skateboarding, but it’s so much FUN that we’re out of time and so much stuff is referenced WE LOVE THESE CHARACTERS WHERE IS SEASON 2??!! Also yeah we talk about the beep test 💁Full spoilers for ‘Sk8 the Infinity' are contained within this podcast.The word Jono was looking for right at the start was INSTITUTION Bring back Glasses-kunWe get it, you went to Japan, Jono!Twitter: infinite_minute Email: [email protected]’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Collboy Caity’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/caitymath Art by Mitchell TurekMusic by Blue Wave Theory and Wataboi

Caity and Jono are so back! We’re talking about the first part of the Extra Part of the Sk8 OVA! Karuta is played, Chihayafuru is recommended, neither of our dads were businessmen, and minds are melted as we realise we’ve probably got the format wrong for reviewing 10 minutes of anime.

We’re baaaaack, but are you, dear listener?? We’re watching the OVA trailer and loving it! We’re hype, there’s zero skateboarding, and we’re travelling through time (both in the trailer and in the sense that we’re so behind the times releasing this episode now!)Full spoilers for ‘Sk8 the Infinity' are contained within this podcast.Twitter: infinite_minute Email: [email protected]’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Collboy Caity’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/caitymath Art by Mitchell TurekMusic by Blue Wave Theory and Wataboi

A final little bonus ‘Infinite Minute’! This was some of the stuff that I had to cut for context/coughing, funny little bloopers, or moments that I would send to Caity while I was editing that made us both laugh.

Classic church and steeple bit on ‘Infinite Minute’! Holy god it is the final full minute of the show and we’re not sure what to do with ourselves, the boys got closure because the pup said kay and the dog said hai and we’re not calling this episode Tadushy, we don’t know where anyone is, the whole show is bookended beautifully, and good work, guitarists!Full spoilers for ‘Sk8 the Infinity' are contained within this podcast.Twitter: infinite_minute Email: [email protected]’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Collboy Caity’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/caitymath Art by Mitchell TurekMusic by Blue Wave Theory and Wataboi

The political subplot is the centrepiece of ‘Infinite Minute’! This podcast has been our early thirties, Kaoru “caligraphies” on Joe’s face, Miya gets a cute send off (care of the Chill Out comics), POV you’re standing on Kiriko’s desk as she gets shipped off to Tokyo, the superintendent has a funny voice, and Mitch teaches us about Meguca and asks us what our favourite, low-budget moments are in anime!Full spoilers for ‘Sk8 the Infinity' are contained within this podcast.Twitter: infinite_minute Email: [email protected]’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Collboy Caity’s MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/caitymath Art by Mitchell TurekMusic by Blue Wave Theory and Wataboi

It’s Mitchell again on ‘Infinite Minute’! We’re served up with a jam-packed ED montage, Mitchell can’t remember every character from this show because he hasn’t watched it in three years, we’re STILL talking about Challengers (2024), the green hoody is canon, and Jono sounds extremely out of touch talking about a meme no-one understandsFull spoilers for ‘Sk8 the Infinity' are contained within this podcast.TRIGUN SPOILERSDAD ALERTThe Right Amount of Detail video Mitch speaks onThe Chill Out comics we definitely didn’t forget the name ofTwitter: infinite_minute Email: [email protected] by Mitchell TurekMusic by Blue Wave Theory and Wataboi
