Two titans meet in the field of battle for a knife-edge death-match, to the death! This week we're joined by the wonderful hosts of The Yu Yu Hakusho (You know, the other podcast covering this 25+ year old anime!) to watch the second Yu Yu Hakusho Movie, "Yu Yu Hakusho: Poltergeist Report". Orb generation, Reiki being stored in the balls, conspiracy theories, and more controversial topics will be discussed and examined as we realize the true meaning of non-canon movies was inside us all along.

On this week's episode, our hosts Nick, Matt, and Su begin the last round of the Dark Tournament. In a shocking twist of events, the combatants dodge each other’s attacks, and then they use surprising powers! Okay, so you know how the fights go by now, but the Kurama vs Karasu fight is actually really good once you step over the plot holes of the rest of the episode. Be sure to tune in this week to see what our hosts think of Kurama’s fight against a Quest Class demon and the start of Hiei’s fight against a guy with heavy armor!

Su is unfortunately still stick, so Matt and Nick have got another bonus episode for you. This week features episode 1 of Magic Knight Reyearth, and this one’s a banger! Nick makes ridiculous puns, as usual. Matt learns about the characters' names, and then proceeds to never remember a single one. Some girls become magic knights, and Reyearth is never mentioned. It’s great! Follow and interact with us on our social media pages: Twitter: https://twitter.com/RITNcast Tumblr: https://ritnpod.tumblr.com/

"Hello! Unfortunately I have been smote by the flu, but while I'm recovering, I've given our remaining hosts the task of checking out episode 1 of Key the Metal Idol, a somewhat lesser known 90s anime that really took me by surprise when I first found it. It's dark and uncomfortable, and nothing is what it seems, but it tells a really powerful story in an efficient package (just 15 episodes!) that really displays what 90s anime had to offer when given the chance. We'll be back with more of the Dark Tournament next week! Until then, have fun with Matt and Nick!" - Su Follow and interact with us on our social media pages: Twitter: https://twitter.com/RITNcast Tumblr: https://ritnpod.tumblr.com/
