A-1 Pictures brings their industry power to the table for the sci-fi action drama Birdy the Mighty: Decode, about a planet-hopping alien law enforcement agent and the high school boy she ends up sharing a body with after accidentally killing him while trying to make an arrest. BJ and Duffo discuss planet-killing weapons dealers hidden in the entertainment industry, defending your child-punching in space court, and aliens shooting your girlfriend with an orbital space laser.

90s fantasy sensation Lina Inverse, the teenage sorceress known for terrorising bandits with her explosion magic, returns to screens in 2008 for J.C. Staff's Slayers Revolution. BJ and Duffo discuss Lina's defence strategy against "the crime of being Lina Inverse", getting transformed into a Digimon to avoid a terrible plague, and building a labyrinth for the purpose of doing comedy skits to a captive audience.

Endless 08 has their first real foray into the otome genre as they watch Yumeta Company's Neo Angelique Abyss, a fantasy anime about a special miracle-wielding chosen girl and the various sexy men who live in a mansion with her. BJ and Duffo discuss the early days of video games for women, giant life-draining blobs from the darkness dimension, and maybe the dumbest looking monocle ever designed.

The Endless 08 project has now been through 15 shows, and it’s time for a retrospective episode to sort out the good, the bad, and the completely average. BJ and Duffo place the anime they have watched so far into a ladder ranking, reflecting on the following shows:
 
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino; Shigofumi: Letters From The Departed; Toradora!; Vampire Knight; Ga-Rei: Zero; RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne; They Are My Noble Masters; The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk; A Certain Magical Index; Spice and Wolf; Top Secret: The Revelation; ChäoS;HEAd; Bamboo Blade; To LOVE-Ru; and Soul Eater.

With the anime now officially extending beyond the source material, Soul Eater comes in for a bumpy landing from episode 38 to the end of the show. BJ and Duffo discuss archeological clown robot discoveries, Lord Death's very underplayed crimes, and how to non-harmfully chop a child in half with a scythe.

With madness now leaking into the world, a new spider-themed antagonist is here with a cult hellbent on going to war with the Death Weapon Meister Academy. BJ and Duffo discuss sandworm style underground desert trains, an incredibly freaky bodysnatching episode, and a secret coffee snake that is very bad for your mental health.

In a respectable showing for the Artsy bracket, an AMV highlighting the unsettling work of Satoshi Kon goes up against a pastoral jig featuring plenty of chicken.
