278. Summer 2026 Anime First Impressions

We discuss our spoiler-free Summer 2026 anime first impressions. Lots of romance anime, with a few unique shows mixed in. We share our thoughts on a new and surprising KyoAni work, the return of several shows we’ve enjoyed, a not-so-dumpster-fire step-sibling relationship, adults smoking, and cats smoking in the wild card anime of this season.
