Anime FMK[]
Hosted by KaiserNeko, Hbi2k, and LordMoonstone, this is a weekly podcast show where the three talk about anime. Every season, they review 11 different anime (mostly the first three episodes) and give a vote of either "Fuck" (the anime moves onto the next week) or "Kill" (the anime is eliminated).
In the event of a tie, there are different ways to "Kill" an anime. If two anime both have a "Triple Kill" they will go to the "Wheel Of Justice" and spin it. The anime that it lands on will "Die". If two anime both have a "Double Kill" they will let it go to a fan vote. In Week 4, two new spaces were added onto the "Wheel of Justice"; a knife space (both anime would die), and a cancel space (both anime live to the next week).
At the end of each season, the three will decide which show they want to "Marry". They will also review anime movies on this.
On late July, the cast announced that the Summer season would be their last as the show was taking too much of their personal time.
