This week on NAFC, Mox returns from Hong Kong Comic Con 2026 with stories about the latest trends, convention insanity, and things that probably shouldn't exist but somehow do.

Izzy says goodbye to a piece of history after selling his 25-year-old 40" CRT, prompting the crew to reflect on a simpler time when TVs weighed as much as refrigerators. Sindi is back as a guest, helping keep the conversation only slightly on track.

The gang also shares thoughts on Undertone and Golden Boy, while Izzy recounts the experience of watching Witch Hat Atelier at a sushi bar and realizing that anime in public still feels vaguely illegal.

Finally, they dive into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)—Nintendo goes full cosmic, the plumbers leave Earth behind, and somehow the stakes are bigger than ever. Was it worth the trip to the stars? The crew breaks it all down.
