Amin and Ashley are joined by Carly to cover Attack on Titan, the anime. We have an extensive aftershow filled with shipping, creaking doors, and a failed attempt to define the scorpions in the snakes and scorpions game. At the end of the very end of the aftershow (~1hour, 24 minutes in), we cover some material that may have manga spoilers (borderline, but there) so heed the spoiler warning there and avoid it if you wish.
