In this episode, Captain Kaye, the Animation Guru and the Crazy Lemur had a lot to say about a pair of highly anticipated indie animated pilots, Homestuck and Knights of Guinevere, while also diving into Summer 2025's anime offerings!

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-hosts, the Animation Guru, and everyone’s favorite Crazy Lemur, Bri! This episode was originally going to be solely focused on our (albeit later than usual) Summer 2025 anime impressions, but two pretty significant indie animated pilots premiered recently, and there were certain things about them that we had to address. Without further ado, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion!

That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us! Check out this GoFundMe page if you wish to help voice actor Mike McFarland on his road to recovery from cancer. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-mike-mcfarlands-road-to-recovery
