  • Witch Hat Atelier Recap | Ep.4 Meeting in Kalhn
    Apr 21 2026

    In this episode of the After Hours Arc, join me as I recap Episode 4 of Witch Hat Atelier, where Coco and the other apprentices head to the city of Kalhn for supplies.

    What started as a simple trip quickly turns into something much more dangerous after Coco spots the masked witch from before and takes off after him. That decision pulls Tetia, Richeh, and Agott into the chaos, and before they know it, they’re transported into a strange stone maze.

    With a dragon summoned and tension rising fast, the group is forced to work together to survive—though not without Agott calling Coco out for the mess they’re in

    Meanwhile, Qifrey realizes a little to late that something is wrong and begins searching for them.

    By the end, the danger surrounding Coco becomes even more clear, as the Brimmed Caps make their move early—proving she’s at the center of something much bigger!

    A short and sweet birthday check-in and laid-back 4/20 vibe. Just kicking it, talking life lately, getting into the mid-30s mindset, and how the podcast’s been going behind the scenes. Nothing too heavy — just a chill session before getting back into recaps tomorrow!

  • Just Vibing Through Spring Anime
    Apr 16 2026

    In this episode of After Hours Arc, I do a quick vibe check on some Spring releases and give my first impressions on what I’ve been watching.

    I talk about Go For It, Nakamura, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, and Erin the Southpaw, along with Witch Hat Atelier, which I’m still fully locked in on.

    I also touch on starting My Dress-Up Darling, picking up Dr. Stone Season 2, and give a quick update on the website I’ve been building and some changes I’m making to older episodes.
