Talking the Spirit Realm is back to bring in the New Year with an arc that gives a good first impression but is unfortunately waylaid by shitty jokes and violence being bad. We still have a good discussion though, and also talk about the Toguro Brothers and their weird body stuff, his underlings who all get murdered, and the cartoonishly evil boss who employs them all. Remember kids, money is only real if you're poor.

Next time, we will be covering episodes 26-27

Talking the Spirit Realm returns to finish the Four Holy Beasts arc and discuss such important topics such as: Is there solidarity among Yokai? How Super Saiyan does Yusuke get? Why does the animation in episode 21 look better than the rest of the arc combined? And most importantly, what was up with American music imports into Japan in the '80s and '90s?

Next time, we will be covering episodes 22-25
