***Spoiler Warning: Severance (2022)***



Three wolves rage inside your breast. One really likes work, the other really likes his dead wife. The third wolf is that devourer of worlds known as Isekai - he lives both without and within us all. Does our discussion of Severance really warrant a spoiler warning? I don't really think so but there you go anyway. Severance asks a question posed very Spike Jonesily: what if the mysterious door transported you not into John Malkovich but your boring office job? Is wage labour actually an isekai? Find out at (15:35), right after our lil Le Guin mantra.



In this episode we discuss:



Episode 12: Return to the Capital (28:48)

Episode 13: Self-Proclaimed Knight Natsuki Subaru (54:43)

Episode 14: The Sickness Called Despair (1:25:57)

Closing Thoughts (1:55:08)



In this, the grand return to form of Reincarnated as podcasters we are introducing some exciting new changes. For one we have embraced a new emerging format we like to call Web 3.0. It works like this: First we briefly recap the three (3) episodes of the anime we're watching, and with this refresher out of the way we are free to create a WEB of interconnected associations, observations and thoughts related to these episodes. Thus we have Web 3.0, pretty neat right? We really look forward to changing the podcast game with this one!

These episodes are weighty but it is made bearable by the generous outpouring of waifus we receive. And not just any waifus, mind you, they're waifus with ideology. Step on me, mommy? No, no. More like crush my windpipe, mommy's belief system! Of course Re:Zero is not satisfied with merely fulfilling a viewer's fantasy of another world as it draws humanity out of its characters, and with it their glaring flaws. Who would have thought that being sucked through a portal into RPG land would not fix the issues that would make you unbearable in any world you ended up in? Both Emilia and Subaru find out the hard way.
