10.5 - Kirito the Eater (Bonus) (Key The Metal Idol Ep 1) 01/14/2019

10.5 - Kirito the Eater (Bonus) (Key The Metal Idol Ep 1) "Hello! Unfortunately I have been smote by the flu, but while I'm recovering, I've given our remaining hosts the task of checking out episode 1 of Key the Metal Idol, a somewhat lesser known 90s anime that really took me by surprise when I first found it. It's dark and uncomfortable, and nothing is what it seems, but it tells a really powerful story in an efficient package (just 15 episodes!) that really displays what 90s anime had to offer when given the chance. We'll be back with more of the Dark Tournament next week! Until then, have fun with Matt and Nick!" - Su Follow and interact with us on our social media pages: Twitter: Tumblr: /episode/index/show/runninginthe90s/id/8244515
