Episode 13 of the Key Frames podcast, a podcast about anime. Everyone's making apologies: Andy is in love with anthropomorphic animal girls, Ben is in love with a harem anime that knows it's a harem anime, and everyone's in love with making apologies for the Monogatari series. The only thing for which they're not making apologies is this episode's spotlight anime, Bartender... except maybe for one of them.
