It's been a while, but we're back with an SnK podcast (or well, it's been a while since our last podcast regardless ^^"). Momtaku went to Anime NYC and attended Hajime Isayama's first panel outside Japan. She and Luna talk about her experiences that weekend, and debate whether Yams is one hot toddy.

Presumed dead, but appearantly alive and kicking and in the mood for pizza: Momtaku and Luna! ...oh, and Riccardo and Ume too I guess. The Apothecary is after Tokio and Azuma now, but will he get to them before they turn on each other first? Join us and the Choujin Three for nightmares, dreams and visions.

As the Moon Beast breaks free from his chains, we're back to being chained to Ishida's random chapter releases. Momtaku may or may not have broken a desk out of sheer frustration. At least we can react to chapter 22 with the rest of the fandom...

We continue our readthrough of Sui Ishida's latest work, Choujin-X. Since Ishida works faster than most humans can manage, we're covering two chapters this week. Thanks as always for listening!!

Our three year anniversary is coming up and we want to celebrate it with a return to AoT for an "Ask Me Anything" episode. News, drama, the "real" ending, interviews, anime, MAPPA, appallingly low wages, merch, and so much more... there's no end to things to talk about when it comes to AoT and we'd love to talk about it. We'll be recording in mid-August so there's plenty of time to send us your questions or topics you'd like us to consider. You can do that on tumblr, twitter or via our website youhearbiggirls.com. Thanks as always for listening!

It's a return to SnK as the Big Girls discuss their reaction to the final pages, and the sometimes extreme reaction of the fandom.
