Have you ever wondered what being a clone is like? What if you found yourself stuck on an island with a ragtag group of folks that range from an heiress, a farmer, a children’s doctor, a writer, a cop, a flower shop owner, a rope enthusiast, or a child with robot prosthetics? What if all these people were led by two mascot characters on a television show to confront their dark pasts? What if all of this was created with some of the Danganronpa team? Well, all the and more is in Zanki Zero: Last Beginning! We talk about what works, what doesn’t, and spoilers galore.

This week on the SAC OVA, we ask of you remember the DL-6 incident. A lot. We’re discussing the very first Ace Attorney series, which is nearing 20 years old now. We talk about the development history, all the cases, and how sometimes you just have to have spiky hair, cross-examine a parrot, and yell “OBJECTION!” a lot.

What a variety of topics we have here today on SAC OVA! Jared and I recently read through the light novel and manga of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, so we talk about the story, what we liked and didn’t like, and what we’re looking forward to seeing in the movie. After that, we move into the wild world of Pop Team Epic since some new episodes were released for April Fool’s Day. We get more references, more insanity, and MORE SHOUTA AOI! <3

This week, Jared and I reach into the grab bag, and we talk about several games that we played while he was visiting me for spring break! We talk about Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen, Sailor Moon Super S: Fuwa Fuwa Panic, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, K-ON! Houkago (After School) Live! HD Ver., and Jared briefly talks about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and AL talks a bit about The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. Y’all, my mind is blown that the actual title of DKC2 is Diddy’s Kong Quest not Diddy Kong’s Quest. I have never realized this, and it’s been out for decades. I PLAYED IT SO MUCH AS A KID, and I never knew!!!

This week, Jared and I get to chat about the newest entry in the Devil May Cry series, Devil May Cry 5. It has everything you could ever want–one liners, William Blake, the previz videos, dance sequences, super rad characters like Nico who deserve all the praise in the world (and not to be white washed), and super fun action that we all know and love from the series. We go full into the story, so spoilers abound!

Jared and I recorded for the very first time in person, and we decided to continue on this Resident Evil train since Jared had never played Resident Evil 4. I had to correct that!! So we talk about the story of the game, how Jared felt playing it 14 years after its release especially given the claims that this is one of the best games of all time, the development cycle and the surprises there, our thoughts on the innovations it made, and my kitties act up a lot in the background.

In a now annual tradition, Jared and I are doing another March Madness–this time, it’s the Persona Music Edition!! We debate which Persona song across the games is the best from the 64 that we gathered, and we scientifically decide the best Persona song to date.
Fill out your own bracket here.

The Resident Evil train continues on! This week, Jared and I played through all four routes of Resident Evil 2 remake, so we chat about RE 1.5, how Leon continues to be BDE around Ada, how the game is different from OG RE2, Mr. X scaring the crud out of me, and how Steve the zombie came to exist!

If you’re new to the podcast or have missed the many times we’ve discussed the wildness of the series on it in the past, you may not know how much we love this bonkers otome series. Now we’ve seen the release of the final fan disc of Code: Realize, and so Jared and I are here to tell you about how it all wraps up in ~Wintertide Miracles~. We get to celebrate Christmas on Valentine’s Day as we see the boys spend their first Christmases with Cardia, Sholmés pulling some weird sexist shit, Finis being a sass machine, a brand new route, and the implementation of triangle dates.
