Two video game related series and an unexpected sequel provide the discussion material for this episode. CC takes the lead by ranting on why Ace Attorney is a subpar adaption of the popular Capcom franchise. On the other side of the coin, John weighs in on how Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak Academy manages to succeed on all levels as a great cross-media experience. Closing out the show is CC’s review of D.Gray-man Hallow, a flawed sequel to a more than 8 year old show, that is nonetheless worth checking out.
